This guy can film a commercial at this point, and I would watch it.
I adore the ground he walks upon. NGM fighting :)

Finally an honest and realistic description of the hero in kdrama-Handsome guy. Whoever came up with this name, he or she is genius!

Lee Yu-ri for female lead pls!

Ha! Cast Handsome guy as "handsome guy". Perfect casting as far as Namgoong Min is concerned. I am not too sure I like the stereotypical role descriptions yet but i trust NGM to pick a good project!

It's just been announced yet why am I so excited for this??? 😆😆😆 #Oppa'scominbak#

I'm all for an SBS rom-com. Legal shows pls go to sleep now

Yes for Namgoong Min in a rom-com (as the lead not a murderer)!!! Though the only thing I’ve seen from this writer is ‘My Unfortunate Boyfriend’ and let’s just say that drama was unfortunately bad...

If the actress is good, then I am in!

I wonder what kind of theories about love he's going to teach us, haha

DB's choice of Namgoong Min's photo for this article is perfect.
Namgoong Min's swag facial expression for this news is perfect.
The woman mirroring Namgoong Min's particular brand of wackiness is perfect.

First we have Pretty Noona, now we have Handsome Guy. What honest drama titles!

I’m always impressed by the sheer dedication that Namgoong Min has for his roles lately. He’s been acting his little heart out and I can always count on him to be entertaining. Show me what you’ve got this time, Handsome Guy!

I hope he signs up.....I am all in for Nam goong min...

I already like this from the title and we have Namgoong Min as the handsome guy? Sure, count me in! Hope he accepts this because no matter how his character might sound I know he can make it work!

Namgoong Min as a handsome guy? Perfect casting! I just hope the story doesn't fail us. He has had relatively good luck in choosing good dramas and roles as of late, so lets hope this streak continues.

Namgoong Min sounds like a sure fit!

Thanks for this great news, Girlfriday!

The prospect of a rom-com with Namgoong Min makes my day. ;-)

Hurray! Namgoong Min is nuanced, charming, and good looking. I have not yet seen him play a character that is a cold, arrogant jerk to be won over, so maybe this is why I love his characters so much. He would make a great one true partnership partner.

Btw, this sounds a bit like the plot of the just released Chinese drama, Mr. Right, about a relationship expert falling in love. It was pretty good (I would rate it a B).

Great choice of pic for this news! I remember liking Tamra, so I know the drama will be capable of all sorts of cute!

definitely let's keep that long streak going longer. never enough of namgoong min to light up my screen!

I did not care for the writing of Tamra The Island or My Unfortunate Boyfriend, but I love Namgoong Min enough to give this a try (if he is cast.)

there cant be anyone more handsome than NGM for Handsome Guy... I was dying to see him back in a RomCom after Gong Shim. I guess drama gods did listen to my plea.
now waiting to see who gets cast as female lead...

Lol I was thinking what if Hwang Jung-eum were to be literally cast as the female lead, making the title reflecting reality. The male lead's description does not seem promising yet but who knows Namgoong Min's acting can make him different or he is revealed to be a "Handsome (Funny) Guy".

Not fresh there's a Japanese version of the idea that aired in 2016.

This (Handsome) guy has been choosing good projects lately as the lead, although Beautiful Gong Shim wasn't the best choice on the script but he did really well there and was totally different. This plot also sounds fun and I'm actually happy to see him in a romance (not too comedy pls) drama. But as he's supposed to be Handsome guy i hope he's not a selfish jerk but a different cool character and hopefully he can create it.

Also Hwang Jung Eum! Pls comeback and play as Jung Eum. Miss this lady too and guess they'll be good couple. But let's see what kdrama gods have been planning!

I wonder how he announces to his family he got the part: «guys Imma a play a handsome guy!»

Wow, i mean, wow... after chief kim I am a big fan.

i am soooo excited for this! i haven't finished falsify( watching with family makes it hard to coordinate times to watch lol) but i have watched him in everything else, i have even gone back and watched his old dramas. hope the female lead isn't a child.

@girlfriday I completely agree with his hot and long streaks :-)

Dude’s on a roll. I love how he mixes up genres, taking up romcom after thrillers. Can’t get enough of him😍

Umm yes please is all I can say. So many baes are coming back to dramaland, I'm so excited!

Woohoo. Always love NGM. And now waiting who's going to be his Jung Eum. Hmm..

Seems appropriate as it's been sometime since NGM had a clear loveline for his role. Hard to believe he's turning 40 this year, really he's never looked more fresh and handsome (pun intended). If he accepts, hope they cast someone age appropriate with equal acting chops n a history of good chemistry with costars!

😁 biggest smile that NGM has really left the second leads behind him!

From being a villain, this guy has earned his leading man pedestal because he is an excellent actor and i don't see any problem with him portraying a handsome guy in a rom-com. =)

I am in!

Namgoong Min in another potentially wacky rom-com? I’m in. This guy’s just so damn good and I’m really happy that they’re finally giving him the main lead roles. While I’d love to see him play another deliciously evil villain, I’m already awaiting the moment when his character falls in lurve and am wondering how his heart eyes will look like. Hehe. Please have an equally winning actress paired up with him!

I feel like Namgoong Min has been avoiding romances for a while, (not that it is hurting his career in the least). If this is something a bit different that gives him a chance to display his considerable acting chops, I am there 100 percent.
