<3 <3 <3 !!!

I read specific emotion on her face. not his.

Okay. These stills have me a bit excited....i hope they can pull it off.

Totally tuning out of this. I mean, I could do better watching paint dry, probably, than watch a rock try to act.

@ 2, I agree.

I'm kinda getting excited for this now~ I like the female lead, not so much Hyun Joong, but hey~ I say we let the drama speak for itself, wait till it comes out to cast judgements =)

it will be so disappointing if his acting hasn't improved! but is that too much to wish for? just remembering how dire it was in BBF is enough to make me cringe...

I guess they look the parts. *crosses fingers*

I hope KHJ does not turn me of this drama!

I think they look perfect, I hope KJH will be better.

let's hope his acting improved otherwise im totally not watching

There he is. Mr. Wooden. I can't wait to see the first video of it. I'm sure he'll impress us all with his great impersonation of a floor lamp. I really wish we'll all be proven wrong and that he suddenly became a great actor, but I wouldn't bet my lunch on it.

Hyun Joong's famous deer in the headlight look =0=
JSM looks her part =D I'm looking forward to her portrayal of Oh Hani

Is this a drama that's going to flash forward and age them a few years within the first couple of episodes? Otherwise, Kim Hyun Joong.... How Gabrielle Carteris of you. :P

love the uniforms! i wish i wore that kind of uniforms in my hschool... :(((

@15 Shirls

Ahahahaha! That's a lovely way to put it. Although I think even the deer shows more emotion. At least surprise. His is more of a "just fell asleep with my eyes open" look.

Aww..she`s cute...I might check out this drama just for her.

not so keen on KHJ but I'm still gonna watch the drama just to see how it compares with the Taiwan version. Ariel Lin annoyed the heck out of me when I watched it years ago but Joe Cheng kept it interesting.

aiks. that's just what i'm afraid of.

when he looks at her, what is he trying to convey? that he's feeling a little softened towards her?

okay. i'm watching this just for the sake of the story and jung so min.

The Taiwanese version was a huge hit when it came out - it's regarded as one of the must-sees for Taiwanese drama addicts (though most Taiwanese dramas just don't do it for me at all and neither did this one, so I still don't understand what the hype was all about ~.~) Let's hope the Korean one doesn't let me down :D ~

This show is going to blow Jung So-min into the stratosphere.

The character played by Kim Hyun-joong is quite interesting in and of itself. If he can colour within the lines, he should be fine (at least he's got the emotionless bit down -- the character is basically a super-genius who is generally bored by all the high school blather going on about him) -- more important is the chemistry between the leads!

awww, give him a chance!!! otherwise we won't enjoy the drama..

I think the reason they picked him is because he's so wooden. The character basically shows no emotion in the drama. Check out Joe Cheng in the Taiwanese one to see what I mean. They could flesh out the character if they wanted to, but it seems like they're not going to. We can always hope, though. And I agree JSM looks perfect for this part.

Kim Hyun-joong looks a bit old for a high school student...

Hip uniforms.

is KHJ sleep-walking in the first picture? ahhhhh~the classic look on his face!

cue KHJ fans
"You guys aren't giving him a chance to prove that he can act! Maybe he'll improve!"

thanks JB for the news....totally looking forward to this ....want to watch a light drama amidst the heavy ones...hope it will be as crackily enjoyable as BOF

i think KHJ looks the part if you actually consider the manga. This is the first time I'm praising him. Hope he'll pull it off. :)

I loved the Taiwanese version of this drama - hopefully HJ can pull it off. I really liked him on WGM...but I think that's just his real personality. His acting chops are pretty bad - I couldn't even watch past episode four of BOF. Jung So Min can definitely pull it off tho - I hope they have chemistry!

Well... I'll say that the one thing KHJ has going for him in this drama is that he doesn't have to rock that HIDEOUS pumpkin colored hair he did in BOF.

And even though they're just stills, I feel no emotion from him. I really, really, really hope this doesn't suck.

Although I'm still not sold Kim Hyun-joong can pull this off, I'm still going to check out the first few episodes just because I loved the Taiwanese version so much and the anime was cute too.

I love ariel and joe but didn't finish the taiwan version cuz it was too long...
I will watch this one, the girl looks her part. KHJ? I will give him a chance

oh my god i can believe your all talkin meanly about hyun joong oppa alreddy!!!! we his fans will always to support him and enjoy his drama. he has popularity all over asia and your all jealouse of his popularity because he has many fans and you are all alone and ugly and fat!!!!!!!!!

...............

*Blink* Whoa! Sorry, I just wanted to be on the bleeding edge in case this post blows up the way the last one did. Anyway, much as I disliked KHJ's fail acting in BOF, I've resolved to attempt not to prejudge this for now. I understand that a still photo does not always depict the emotion an actor is trying to convey (unless you're Kang Ji-hwan). I'm also cognizant of the fact that is character is a cold, emotionless sort who is bored and disengaged. So maybe he'll be better this time? And if he's not, well, (1) he's still really, really gorgeous and (2) Girlfriday has said she's recapping this -- and she shows no mercy. *rubs hands together in evil anticipation* :-P

so cute .< and i am so hapy with the girl's casting, she is adorable!

LOL @2 i kind of agree but... well, he's hot so whatever, i'm only looking for fluffy fun anyway haha. i think he tries to pull of enigmatic what with his disconnectedness but only really kind of just achieves...cute.

still, cute is cute.

I don't think this version will beat the Taiwanese version. The cast of this version needed more acting ability. Unlike this version, Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin are amazing and outstanding actor and actress. I really hope they will not ruin this favorite drama of mine. Please prove me wrong.

Okay, okay... I'm going to hope for the best in this drama.
I want to believe the Korean version can do better than the Taiwanese version, that one just didn't do it for me. Mostly because of the female lead so I hope they can portray her character as more likable in this one.

Just from the stills I already like her more. I'll refrain any opinion for KHJ since there's more than enough of that already going on.

PK fighting!

Oh BRAVO BRAVO!

Definitely!!! ^__^ I hope this drama will become so good, yupz -- ah, especially for all of these casts will able to work so hard together like as teammates!

FIGHTING!

He looks lost on the solo shot... but the 1st photo looks convincing... it got me a little excited... ISWAK 1 & 2 are the only Taiwanese dramas I would watch again.

but still... I hope he lifts his game....fingers crossed

Oh, I am really excited for this, I love school dramas, I have no idea why but they always make me happy.
Please, please Kim Hyun Joong, don't suck as badly as you did in BBF.
I think Jung So Min is really good for this role, so I hope he can step up.
I think they look really ridiculously attractive together, but it looks like they got their hair died exactly the same colour.
Which is not cool in my opinion.
It's like, one step above couple tees.

Oh jeez, why is KHJ in this? I love him and everything (really, I do, he's so cute and randomly funny), but he really can't act >.< I'm hoping that he has improved since BOF, but judging from those stills, I doubt it. I mean, he's completely doing that blank I'm-so-tired-let-me-just-sleep-with-my-eyes-open expression of his already, so I've already lost faith in his acting.

I think I'll wait for some more summaries and see how JB responds to the drama. If people like it, then I might watch it, but I certainly won't try it without a recommendation.

KHJ looks a lot less plastic here than in BOF. i'm willing to give him a try. and ms thing is adorable! looking forward to the first episode!

I think KHJ fits the part in terms of how he looks, but his expression is not sharp enough, he looks dull and not like someone who you love to hate or want to root for. But, we'll have to wait and see. Who knows, we might be in for a surprise

She's ADORABLE as a girl student. It's refreshing to see actors/actresses in age-appropriate roles. Sometimes, a drama would be so good and convincing, but as soon as they do flashback scenes and use the same adult actors in a high school scene, it's like um, no...

i've watched the taiwanese version of this and i really hope the girl isn't as stupid as the taiwanese version.

Maybe I might actually watch this??
KHJ hair is niceee.
But I love JSM!

i think he actually looks like a student! haha oh mann i've recently started liking him (after hating him for a longgg time). he looks good.
