I've never seen her in anything, and I ALREADY love her.

I’ve never seen her in anything, so I can’t really judge, but I really like this PD’s work. I read that Jung Kyung Ho didn’t even read a script for Life on Mars when he accepted the role. He believed the PD picked a good project as they worked together on Heartless City.

Ooops... sorry for JKH spam (not really) 😄

That is big news!
I have only ever seen her in a couple of her old movies. She and Won Bin have kept a low profile for years.
I hope that means Won Bin will also choose a new project soon?

I guess if you're going to keep a low profile for nine years, hiding out with Won Bin is the way to go.

Wow, Lee Jong Suk is living his teenage dream! I'm so incredibly psyched for this. Also, Lee Na Young is gorgeous.

A Jong-suk noona romance!! With Life on Mars PD and Won Bin's wife!! Also copywriting!! Everything is packaged up very nicely with Jong-suk being the beautiful bow on top. I hope that my man can leave to military service with a final bang!

is it just me that have missed tvNs hallmark rom com? Happy we gonna have one next year. so glad to see a new drama from this writer. I liket her other works :D

I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan of the writer... I didn't really like the I Need Romance series... but the PD has directed a lot of really great shows (The Good Wife! Heartless City! A Witch's Love! Life on Mars!) so I'm tentatively excited. I've always liked Lee Na-Young. I know she's done rom-coms before but she has sort of a melancholy image, at least for me. It'll be interesting.

Also, I feel like Lee Jong-suk always makes good career choices (well, except Doctor Stranger). His agency must be working hard haha.

Thanks for the casting news, @stroopwafel!

The production catches my eye because of the writer's and PD's track records with FIVE ENOUGH, DISCOVERY OF ROMANCE, and LIFE ON MARS.

Lee Na-young was hilarious in the film SOMEONE SPECIAL (2004) with Jung Jae-young. I watched it about a year and a half ago because I had seen him in the excellent movie WELCOME TO DONGMAKGOL. They are terrific and the story is a hoot, with a film spoof within the movie that should be seen by viewers of ROOM NO. 9. Har! A guy gets diagnosed with lung cancer and learns he only has 3 months to live. He's a pro baseball player who had been a star pitcher in high school, but injured his shoulder and became an outfielder. His girlfriend dumped him earlier the same day he got the bad news. He's alone after his parents were killed in a plane crash, and has never actually been in love. His life looks really dead-end. In despair after the diagnosis, he goes to the neighborhood bar and gets crocked. At closing time, the lady bartender doesn't know where he lives, so she stuffs him into a large box. And hauls him on her back to a motel at closing time. She leaves him there. Turns out she has loved him unrequitedly since the day his mom sent him over in his high school pinstripes with a batch of homemade goodies to welcome the new neighbors. But he never noticed her or even knew her name. Eventually this unlikely pair warm up to each other. This film made me laugh out loud. It has some wonderfully absurd moments. The tone of the lead characters could be described as "quiet desperation," but they seem content to muddle through life. This is not a film about high romance, nor ridiculously beautiful and sexy people. They're normal-looking, and just schlepping through their solitary lives. What a great flick.

Lee Na-young also starred in PLEASE TEACH ME ENGLISH with Jang Hyuk. What a romp! Includes a hilarious scene of teaching a piglet its ABCs (as in the idiom "teaching a pig to sing").

This PD is love! HEARTLESS CITY was my crack drama (2013) and THE GOOD WIFE was one of the better remakes.
Sadly I'm not a fan of Lee Na-young but hoping for a more mature rom.com from PD Lee.

drama god have blessed us with two unusual couples bogum x song hye kyo and jong suk x lee na young. Lets all thank the drama gods

Jong suk may dancing in the air when hearing this news. Acting with his teenage dream would be a full stock for 2 years in military service. I just hope that they can make it pre-produce so he can completing the drama before enlist and please .. please .. be good drama!

Lee Jung Hyo PD has been one of my favourite since the Good Wife (the first work i've watched from him) and his romances are always sizzling and full of chemistry that i'm excited to see what sort of chemistry Lee Na Young and Lee Jong Suk could bring. the premise sounds cute kind of similar to the dynamic of the secondary characters from jugglers which is sure to have a lot of hijinks.
