*long and deep sigh* Why?

Correction: Ahn Hyo-seop is up to play the male lead Jang Sun-gyul. The role offered to Song Jae-rim is a new character created for the drama.

It never ends does it? I guess next week we'll hear news that Kim Sae Ron has been cast opposite Yoon Shi Yoon again.

i rather have someone closer to age with Kim Yoo Jung like Ahn Hyo Seop than Jae Rim. i seriously dont want another 100++ comment debating about the age gap again.

I do love The Three Kims but probably it'll better if they stick to school/teen dramas for the time being, not romance with much older actors.
I find it hard to believe in the romance (look at you, Radio Romance) and even harder to ship them with their co-stars. Sigh.

I'm just excited to have Yoo Jung back on my screen. :D Any chance we can get Bogummie again?

I read Ahn Hyo Seob is up to play the lead while Song Jae Rim has been offered a new character that's not in the webtoon. I'd prefer AHS over SJR for Kim Yoo Jung's love interest tbh

The show seems cute and all and I don't have anything against or for the pairing..
But the pressing question here is: Where Is @mary?? News about SOng Jae Rim after oh soooooooo long!!
@mary You have to come and celebrate!

I personally love Ahn Hyo Seop and look forward to more age-appropriate pairings.

whatta cute photo of Song Jae Rim!

My personal picks would have been Lee Hyun Woo (who is yet to have a decent drama) with IU as the female lead (although the main char is almost opposite her role in Producers). When will these two real life friends ever be in a drama together...hopefully not just in my dreams.

Anyway it looks like Kim Yoo Jung has confirmed. I love her and hope this works out for her.

Dear dramagods,
You know when I prayed for you to give Song Jae Rim a lead role, already? ...Um, yeah, no. This isn't what I meant.

To be honest, if not for the age gap, I would be all over SJR being the MAIN main lead which Ahn Hyo Seop is apparently up for, because I'm really not a fan of ASH. He's very green, but then again, I really, really hated his character in Queen of Ring, so maybe I'm just associating him with that.

Regardless of how I feel, if SJR ends up in it, I'm going to have to watch it anyway, le sigh.

I have only watched Ahn Hyo Seob in 2 short dramas. I think he was quite good in Splish Splash as a side character. And he was quite good too when he romances Kim Seul Gi and Yoon So Hee in Queen of the Ring..

I only wish Kim Yoo Jung gets a good actor to be her first male lead when she's officially an adult..

Ugh! No! He’s too old. He’s too old! (to be paired with Kim Yoo Jung). Was my first reaction when I read the headlines. But if he were to feature in a non romantic capacity in this drama I’m all for it. I read Ahn Hyo-seop was to be her romantic partner in the drama. While he’s age appropriate, he’s still quite green and wooden. He depends a lot on his capable co-stars like Kim Seul gi and Ryu Hwayoung. Honestly, there are more capable younger actors out there who would have done justice to this role. If he were female, he’d have gotten a lot more flak for this casting decision by now. But it’s cable, and a “young” romance. So it seems that the public’s expectation is not very high.

Sigh, the male leads are all wrong. One is too wooden and the other too old for her. It’s just one uncomfortable watching with that 18 year age gap unless it’s unrequited love on her end. There are actually tons of age appropriate actors, why settle on these 2? Probably pressure from their agencies? Sometimes agencies have a stake in the production with the condition to use their artistes.

True. Yeo Jin Goo and Kim Yoo Jung should reunite in a epic saegeuk drama because that's what their pairing are most known for in Korea since the 2 times they were paired up ate on 2 hugely successful saegeuk (Iljimae & METS). Many will anticipate it for sure.

For Yoo Seon Ho and Kim Yoo Jung I want them to reunite on a mordern drama this year. I think it'll be awesome if their teaming exactly 10 years later. I remember their past childhood photos together going viral in Korea before like on 2013/2014 because they've grown up so much and people are comparing the photos of then and now.

I don't know why people assumed SJR character is a love triangle. If he is they would have mentioned it on the article. I think the real issue here are the people who are too quick to assume and start criticizing without knowing anything.

people always mention Yeo Jin Goo; but how about Park Ji Bin. This kid really needs a comeback

I don’t understand all this agism associated with these comments. I’ll be in the minority by saying that age shouldn’t be an issue here. The longer I’ve lived, the more I’ve learned that age is really just a number, and I’ve have several friends in lasting marriages with men much older than they and others who are divorced after marrying someone their age. Give me similar maturity levels and I’m good. Also, this story is about someone who owns his own (successful) business. Do we expect a 20-25 year old to be able to run this? As a 40 year old, I’m barely able to. My bestie was a temp at her now husband’s law firm. She was 19, he was old enough to be out of law school and running his on firm. They got married after she graduated college. There are 12 years between them. They’ve been married for almost 20 years. This pairing is adorable, and I’m looking forward to it.

I'm not sure about this casting news. It doesn't seem to match Song Jae-rim. I think he's better off taking the role of my husband... XD

But in all seriousness, is it that hard to cast someone near Kim Yoo-jung's age AND acting talent? (Sorry Ahn Hyo-seop, you're cute but you're no Yoo Seung-ho.)

I hope Rim's role is more of the Bok-joo/Doctor thing. I'd rather Oppa had a funny/quirky side role and get love from the audience than be the lead in a drama that turns off a lot of people.

The directors seems to be competent seeing his/her history of directing Cruel Palace. I only manage to saw several episodes of the show (I dropped it because the mood of the show is too tragic) and I have a positive perception of the director's work. Several drama avid watchers seem to praise his work too, so YAY for the director!

The writer umm... my view of him/her a bit iffy because a lot of people seems to find Joseon Gunman bland. Also, the drama genre is romantic comedy which is famous for being difficult to achieve a good and satisfying ending. This fact makes me a bit worried, however I'll try to remain positive.

I think this could be cute.
I would love to see Jae rim as Yoo jung's older brother (or as her crush would be fine) with his own love line on the side.

In the webtoon, the female MC is not dirty because she is a dirty person but because she has a trauma associated with clean spaces--something to do with her parents dying and the house they bought. Anyway, the webtoon is really prettily drawn and it handles grief in a beautiful way.

I hope they keep that aspect of the webtoon instead of making her dirty without reason.

Initially I thought: Park Hyung shik, Yoo Seung Ho, Park Bo Gum...but these people are unlikely to take on the lead role 😭. I hope whoever stars across her is someone not only close to her age but worthy of gracing the same frame as her.

Ahn Hyo Seob is the actor who will be Kim Yoo Jung's partner.

If people do not like it, do not watch it.

People will always infantilize Kim Yoo Jung.

Kim Yoo Jung is already an adult. She is 20 years old according to Korean law. But she will always will be seen as a teenager. People do not want to see her grow up and become an adult woman.

People love to forget an young Korean actress can do a drama with 20+ episodes without doing scenes involving hot passionate kisses and hot passionate hugs.

Kim Yoo Jung's innocence is well protected.

People are complaining about Ahn Hyo Seop saying he is too much of a rookie without experience and saying he is not a good actor.
Maybe better actors around his age do not want the role.
If slightly older actor come up people will complain about the actor being too old.
This character is simply too doomed. For a start the actress who plays his love interest is someone people can not see as a woman.

Looks like it’s a love triangle, based on the latest soompi article. In this time and age, to pair up an otp with such a wide age gap is creepy. Especially the upcoming one with IU and Mr Voice.

Wow, now I wish I didn't know about the age difference between them. I like the sound of their pairing, but I hate the difference in age between them
