Come on, Suzy?! I know she's the girl next door but seriously?

Coffee Prince was my 2nd kdrama and Gong Yoo was my first k-hero love so I'M THERE! I can't wait for his gazes-of-intense-longing-that-make-me-die!

It directly reminds me of 18 vs. 29! I think the relations between the triangle would be similar ^^

Suzy??? bleh!!!!!!! her acting is simply BAD! sorry for her fans but she needs to improve so much, her acting in Dream High was pffffffff

Gong Yoo & Lee Min Jung? ahh they're perfect!

I've seen every Hong sisters drama (save for the last few episodes of Fantasy Couple still sitting on my hard drive... probably my least favorite) and this will be no exception, Gong Yoo and Lee Min-jung are some of my favorite actors, and I remember hoping they would do a drama together back when their Mindbridge photoshoots came out.. and now they are, and it's pretty much guaranteed to be a hit. :P

I did have some reservations about the premise (I love the original movie but the romance angle there always struck me as.. well, creepy) even if he was aged up, and while this is slightly more conventional I have faith they'll make it unique.

LMJ is ok, but can she be muet in this drama...

coffee prince is one of my favorite dramas of all time, that cast had INCREDIBLE chemistry. gong yoo was so fabulous in it. admittedly i have become a little wary of hong sisters' dramas in recent years. it seems like every scene is crammed with puns and metaphors. funny and clever as they are, i think they might be more effective (for me anyway) if not inserted so liberally. a lot of times i found myself wishing they'd play a scene straight for a change. still, if it's gong yoo, i'm hopeful and optimistic.

NOT so excited about lee min-jung. i find her likeable as a person, but i can't really recall a single work of hers that left an impression on me. not a fan of her slightly nasally voice either.

the suzy casting makes me happier; her acting was rather horrible the first couple of episodes of dream high, but she did get better and in the end, i couldn't imagine anyone else as hyemi... which is a success in my book.

i am SO excited that gong yoo will be back in dramaland that i don't care what this drama will be about. it's been too long. now i just hope he doesn't disappoint me like eun hye's CP follow ups did. i fell in love with both of them in CP and have been craving to see them shine ever since. i say this is a win/win because even if the drama is a bust (which i doubt b/c it is THE hong sister) at least i'll be able to salivate over gong yoo for 16 episodes!

I've been waiting for the big comeback of Gong Yoo as well as the hilarious-duo-drama-goddesses: Hong Sisters! I'm rooting for this drama!

I am way too excited for this. I was like Hong Sisters: IN. And then Gong Yoo...oh my goodness...

Just finished Gumiho tonight which makes me all the more psyched--I want more cameos too!

I just hope we can avoid the squick factor as well--it reminds me a little too much of Ramyun Shop, which I did not enjoy as much because of the age thing...

Was going to watch this drama either way, i'm glad the cast is confirmed and i can not wait!

It's interesting that my biggest disinterest towards the drama (the 'big' concept) has changed yet i don't feel /more/ excited for this drama? Maybe i also tire from body swapping, will wait and see :)!

What is up with jang heejin playing unlikable second female leads? OK..well most female leadsa are unlikable but her characters in what's up, myungwol, and this other drama i forgot the name were all those one-dimentional bitchy characters. Ok it's also too early to assume her role in this one but..I have a feeling she'll be playing the same role.

what a beautiful pair! Looking forward to this! :) Hope Javabeans' team will be covering this!
(sure sure!!)

I love Suzy and I love it when she's playing the role close to her age from DH to her debut film and now this. She's only 19 and its okay if she's lack emotion, not everybody as talented as Moon Geun Young and Kim Yoo Jung :-).

She will get better in the future. I trust in her acting ability.

Maybe cus I grew out of Hong sisters dramas? But I definitely used to love the My girl series. It kinda didn't work for me after that. 3 dramas later, I fell out of love and haven't seen the recent 2 dramas. It's kinda sad since I loved the premise and the story but the female leads always managed to kill it for me. Couple fantasy was meh. You're beautiful's female lead was too weak, and I hate weak female leads. And Hong Gil Dong's was, weak and bland.

I have always been a Hong sisters' fan so I am really excited by this project even though Suzy is in it. Hmph..i guess I shouldn't judge seeing I still haven't watch Dream High yet....

why wouldnt anybody like hong sisters drama?it is very difficult to write comedy,far more difficult than melodramas with all e revenge,lost childs,birth secrets etc. am really lookin fwd to this one!

my first comment. because i always be silent reader all the time. but since everyone talks about hong sister. i wanna give my opinion too. hong sister drama list that i've ever watched: sassy girl chun hyang = love it, i watched it till the end. YAB = just so so, watched till the end, but in the half way i get bored. the greatest love = like it, but i lost my lost appetite in the middle, so not watched till the end. gumiho = no comment, i dont even care the end of this series. my girl = i watched till the end just because i dont have anything to do. the king 2 hearts = until now i still craving for this show. i hope they wont dissapointed me till the end. actually i always like their creation. because there's always hilarious scenes that i love to watch again and again. but i feel their drama just entertaining in beginning but in half way they story become standart and boring.

Gong Yooooooooo!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Like the most attractive man in the whole world :'D I'm gonna watch all even if it sucks. I like several Hong Sister dramas I don't think they're the best because I always hype it more then what I actually get. But I can't say I dislike any of them.
I HATE the idea of other people entering others bodies and then doing embarrassing stuff. So I wish that he actually had grown from 18 to 30 so there wasn't any body swapping involved. Body swapping is also so done - in a bad way. There are several themes that I like seeing remade. But not this. Aaaah I hope it will be great.

This is one of those wait and see dramas. I like Gong Yoo as an actor but he just hasn't found, in my opinion, the drama that will catapult him into the limelight again. Just because the Hong Sisters wrote this drama doesn't mean it will be a hit.

Gong Yoo has excellent comedic timing but has not aligned himself with female leads that bring the best out in him. He might want to be a serious actor too, I wish him the best. I personally like him in romantic comedies that bring out different male sensitivities which are enduring to the majority of women.

His comedic timing in Coffee Prince was exceptional as was it with the other members of the cast too. That drama had a lot of class.

My 1st (and even 2nd) impressions of the 3 actors weren't that favorable based on the projects that I saw them in, but since then, I've managed to see them in things I liked, so that changed my perceptions.

I 1st saw GY in a couple of mediocre films, so I wasn't exactly expecting much when I watched "Coffee Prince", but he simply blew me away in CP w/ his subtle acting.

It took me forever to get thru the film "Cyrano Dating Agency" - LMJ didn't exactly leave an impression on me there, but since then, I've seen her on variety shows like RM, so have come to like her based on that.

Watched a little bit of "Dream High" and Suzy didn't leave much of an impression on me, but likewise, also like her based on her variety show appearances.

Haven't seen Suzy's film, but apparently her acting has improved.

lee min jung!! i love her~ as a protagonist or antagonist ^.^

i'm not so into Gong Yoo but he's fine :) suzy is okay too~

but my concern is that i see a future of me comparing this drama to Who Are You? (which i don't like when i watch new drama)

Who Are You? is one of my most favourite Korean drama, Yoon Kye Sang realy did a great impressive fabulous job in that drama, i was moved so many times~

anyway, look forward to this show :D

Wow, I've been waiting for a Gong Yoo drama. I like the lead actress, too. So double bonus.

If Gong Yoon is in it, I'll watch it.
That guy has a decent track-record concerning good shows, and It'll be nice to see the Manager of CP, again!

I hope the Hong-Bints don't go overboard with that particular brand of theirs!

anything that has Gong Yoo in it, I'm definitely on board!!!

Gong Yoo's comeback on small screen is enough for me to watch this show.

There a a lot of actors who have a decent track record but in their heart of hearts they want a hit....Like I said before, I wish he would align himself with female actors who aren't self-conscious and who are good pretenders, which is the name of the acting game in my opinion, they are out there....he just is not looking hard enough, or maybe he isn't listening to his gut level instinct. OH WELL. time will tell....drama ratings are a tricky business....

ohh my ohh myyy im so happy he's back :3 when I read Big will have Gong Yoo as the lead i was like *-----* in WANT mode...!! hes my bias! after his military service, I remember how i looked everywhere and waited his movie "findng mr. destiny" to be subbed :))
im scared of watching Crucible im a bit sensitive so ill be crying and crying the whole thing... but I was pleased to read the movie did well :)

poor Hong Sisters... people should just stfo and quietly find another drama to watch if they dont like their work... i personally looove their dramas my fav is Greatest Love :))

I will tell you guys the correct story of the drama “BIG”.

Gong Yoo will be a 30 year old doctor and he will be Lee Min Jung’s fiancee. Lee Min Jung will play the role of a high school teacher and Shin Won Ho, Bae Suzy and Baek Sung Hyun will be her students. Baek Sung Hyun will be Lee Min Jung’s brother who likes Suzy. Shin Won Ho will be the 18 year old student who also likes Suzy.
After Gong Yoo and Shin Won Ho’s souls switch it will happen that Gong Yoo(with Shin Won Ho’s Soul)will follow Suzy as he likes her and Shin Won Ho(with Gong Yoo’s Soul) likes his own teacher Lee Min Jung because their souls are exchanged.
And also Jang Hee Jin will be Gong Yoo’s ex-girlfriend who will return from overseas to get him back.
So it will be a very complicated drama with so many love tangles.
But its Hong Sisters drama so it will be Super Hit.The other Hong Sisters drama were Delightful Girl Choon Hyang (KBS2, 2005),My Girl (SBS, 2005-06),You’re Beautiful (SBS, 2009),My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox (KBS2, 2010),The Greatest Love (MBC, 2011) and now Big (KBS2, 2012).
And Gong Yoo is making his comeback after five years after The 1st shop of Coffee Prince, Lee Min Jung from Midas,Bae Suzy(miss A) from Dream High and Architecture 101, Shin Won Ho from Bachleors Vegetable Store, Baek Sung Hyun from Queen Insoo, Jang Hee Jin from Myung Wol The Spy.
I personally love Suzy from miss A and wish her all the best for the drama and also all the cast of BIG.
It will be aired on June 4th 2012 on KBS2 Mon-Tue at 21:55 replacing Love Rain.

I tried to watch My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho 3 times last year, every time I stopped after 10 minutes. Too sweet, sugarcoated etc. The 4th time I pushed one minute further, and ...hooked !

I am a dedicated fan of the Hong Sisters ever after.
In fact, Fantasy Couple is the pet-drama for me from all their series.

With this drama, they must have had a lot of fun together thinking and talking about all the ideas that came up.
So full of subtle or not-subtle jokes, it is a surrealistic drama pur sang.
The duel on the dyke, to swap the cat and the dog: I am not a ballet-expert, but if I ever became one, this will be my favorite ballet-scene ever !
