NICE!! (her casting at least....at least L is very very pretty). I am a bit bummed that she wasn't used much in MDBC BUT I am happy she isn't a regular bitchy 2nd lead and actually is one of my fav characters in the drama. She's a great actress and her chemistry with PBG is actually nice.

Seems like her career has really taken off after Sassy Go Go and MDBC.

Good for her! I'm not a fan of hers, but I'm glad that her talent is being recognized.

I am excited to see how they will turn a two part film into a 16 episode drama.
I wonder which role they would give to L. I hope not the hiroya shimizu's because that is beyond his capability. I haven't seen chae soo bin yet, I just hope she really is good.

I actually really like L, he's pretty and charming, but I'd love it if Jinyoung was cast. He can do both fluffy and melo equally well. MDBC has turned me into a fan!

Yay! Excited to see chae soo bin in a lead role And also in a JTBC drama. I liked her In sassy go go but love her now in MDBC. Also the story seems interesting. Can't wait!

Chae Soo Bin sounds good for the female lead, L on the other hand... I'll just hope he's not Ooide. He will probably play Kanbara, the boy who helps with the investigation and plays a big part in the mystery. He's the closest to a male lead in the original movies.

*breaks out party balloons*

Chae Soo-bin has been fantastic in everything I've seen her in, right from the cameo in Spy that had me rooting for her to be the lead instead of a cameo. And her desperate, vulnerable villainess character in Sassy Go Go brought out my Loki feels in full force.

I'm glad she's got a shot at lead here, she's exactly the kind of young actress who should be getting breakout lead roles. (I hope the Big 3 and movies consider her for prime time sometime too, she's new but her performances have never seemed green)

I hope L is not the lead. But yes for cha soo bin. I loved her in bluebird's house, her and lee sang yeob were the ones that I watched for. Glad that she's getting some recognition.

I wonder if they are going to combine parts 1 and 2 of the Japanese version into one?

Yay! I hope she takes it because she's totally lead material. She has this knack for making her characters sympathetic and interesting. Can't wait to see her career flourish!

I really like her!! I'm sad she doesn't have much to do in MDBC because given the right script, I think she could create good chemistry with her co-stars.

I hope someone like Lee Won Geun plays opposite her. Although they didn't have a love life in Sassy Go Go, I felt like they'd make an interesting pair!

yay! for chae soo bin, hope she's accept this but errr.. no for L. i'm not really a fans. besides i was hoping this drama will gonna be a breakout session for promising new actors. teen actors who's been around with good performance but still under the radar. i wish we can found actors like park bo geum or ji soo in this.

Can we get Lee Hyun Woo instead of L? I don't hate L, but LHW is a superior actor by far, even if he hasn't made the best drama choices lately. He has an emotional range that a story like this could highlight.

Hurray!

I saw her for the first time in Moonlight. Almost had me ill with Second Lead Syndrome despite her little screentime.

Soo Bin is quite easy on the eyes (read: heartachingly beautiful) . So I'm happy just looking at her (guy and all), no matter her role (yea, I'm superficial like that).

Excited to see her getting an opportunity to try her hand at a lead role.

I'm happy to see both these actors getting casted (they are indeed already acting in the web drama black cat or smth tgt!!) maybe that's why they were cast tgt haha but anyway i dont get the L hate apart from his stint in MLG I've been pretty impressed with his skills so far + I feel like he emotes in a unique way reflective of his real life character so I just hope this drama will be a chance for him to convince the mainstream public that he's actually capable! his drama schedule this year is crazy though he's been so tired filming the 2 dramas lately since the filming occurred at the time of his cb with infinite

I like L as Infinite L and his Myungsoo dorky self but as an actor, not so much.. So pretty but so wooden... Wont mind if they replace him with someone else. How about they look at those teen actors? We have our lovely and source of pain Kwak Dong Yeon, Seo Young Joo, Oh Jae moo etc? Oh maybe Lee Hyun Woo, as a redemption for that mess Moorim School?

YES, CHAE SOO-BIN. Definitely one of the most promising actresses in her age group. She's great, I really hope she takes it. L, not so much. Him, I could do without. He was tolerably cute in Flower Boy Band and then predictably awful in everything he's been in since. He has the emotional range of a plastic fork.

Fingers crossed that she takes it, and he doesn't.

Though I guess I won't mind him as much if his role is secondary to hers.............. Jokes, I'm lying, I totally would mind.

Dear production team, casting director, drama gods, whoever... please... don't cast him... please...

excited for chae soo bin. not so much about L.I've watched the original and funny how i thought that the actor who played kambara looked a bit like L.

To be honest the original Japanese version was not all that great. Not sure I care about seeing this.
