Now I am definitely intrigued by the possibilities with this drama. It sounds like it'll be heartbreaking but I am looking forward to it.

WOW I guess I'll be watching this trash* then, lmao :(

* jk... kind of

Whoa, I totally did not remember him in A Werewolf Boy (watched ages ago). First time I took notice of him was in Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim. I was meh about his casting at first, but he sure got me with his cute and swoony character.

Disappointed that he's the second lead here. This is a huge drama so he'll probably get a lot of interest (good for him), but I'm gonna have to pass this one anyway. :(

Wow what a news!

Though I don't know much about LBH, as I'm very new to Kdrama land, I think the writer must be very influential and definitely brave in her choices since her cast is really hmm.. special. LBH seems to have some not-so-nice background and he is cast as the main lead. Now YYS the handsome with a streak of wickedness in his look as the tragic second male lead. I must admit that now my interest in the drama just rose from 0 to perhaps 60%. Good job the writer-nim and the casting team.

"...he’ll secretly become a patriot and a double agent for the Japanese, and get a loveline with Kim Tae-ri’s maid?"

Sounds good to me. :)

Oh dear, I'm already shipping him instead of the lead actor and the drama hasn't even started yet! Let the hijinks begin.

This'll be interesting. I've never been able to warm to him as a romantic lead. Something has always seemed a bit "off" about those roles. Will be looking forward to seeing him perform a role that's more focused on pathos than romance.

Why didn't they get him to be the lead, though? He's a lot closer to what I would have had in mind. And I think a serious role would suit him. Look at your choices, casting people. Look at them.

I wasn't really interested in watching this drama at all even though I loved Goblin and Descendants of the Sun was interesting because I'm not really a fan of Lee Byunghun or Lee Taeri but now I may or may not turn in to see if Yoo Yeonseok tops his 2nd lead performance from Answer Me 1994 bc nothing can top that, right?

Yoo Yeon Seok as second lead. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY T_T. Not the heartbreak again plsss

BUT WHYYYY
I DO NOT WANT YOO YEON SEOK AND SECOND LEAD TO BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE

So I'm guessing there won't be a secondary cute couple for us to root for when we get tired of the main couple? Maybe it'll be like a Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim situation where the older lead actor doesn't have a love line with the leading actress.

I wonder with the success of Goblin, if KES is going to throw out her usual writing tropes and take a lot of risks.

Ok now I am desperately hoping fr Kim woo bin to recover and KES to write a drama just for him... just do it...

AND i hope YYS is so so so awesome in this drama that KES falls for the charms and writes a drama with him as the lead...

NoooO!!!! Give him a girl please! Come on KES. You always give your second leads a happy ending. Don't be cruel to YYS. Not him! Puhlezz

Omy gosh I LOVE Lee Byung-heon and Kim Tae-ri together!!!

Just imagining it, their chemistry gonna be awesome!

ARGH I shouted WHYYY when I read this but @girlfriday you said it. YYS never gets cast as the complex villainy but sympathetic characters he plays so well in films when in dramaland. Cant wait to watch this now.
Please give him a happy ending. At least a not entirely tragic ending

Why? Why universe? Whatever you do I'll watch Chilbongie but why second lead...*sigh*

Good for Yoo Yeon Seok. Definitely will not watch now, but good for him.

Just don't pick up any of LBH's habits.
