Well, I know now what I will be doing in July...

Please be good, please be good, please be good.

Before Big I would have been 100% thrilled with this news. Now I'm only 98% thrilled. Everyone deserves a mistake and I'm more then willing to give the sisters another chance. I love Gong Hyo Jin in anything, but I've never watched So Ji Sub before. This type of drama seems like it would be a real change for him which could be a good thing. Badass Cha Sueng Won was awesome in his comedic turn, so maybe So Ji Sub would be too. Plus with the PD, this drama seems to have a lot going for it. I wish the plot was explained further, but there's still time for that. I'm cautiously excited for this.

c..h..e..ffff.....

I honestly don't care WHAT So Ji-sub does as long as he shows up in front of the camera for an extended period of time.

Ooh the basic premise sounds like the 2011 film Chilling Romance. And just for that I'm already feeling giddy about it. And plus, I think I've already forgiven the Hong Sisters for the travesty that was Big so BRING IT ON! :D

I personally wish they turn back to the wacky comedy that they brought before though. I mean sure I can sense their desire of branching out of their safety net but as for me I just really want to watch a drama/romcom with heart that is not pretending to be more complex than it needs to be. ;~;

Oh YEAH!!! This is my happy dance!! !! !! !!! That's called jumping for joy!!

I have not seen So Ji-sub in a comedic role since his early days in Love Story Ep 6: "Miss Hip-hop & Mr. Rock" in 2000! He was pretty funny as the second lead. I'd love to see him in a TV comic role!

I really hope the Hong sisters does a better job as I was pretty disappointed with "Big"...There was so much potential for the plot to not be like how it was and every episode I was waiting for something magical to happen except it ...never did! I hope this new drama will like on par with "Best Love"!

OMG !!!!!!! Interesting pairing. I've always thought So Ji Sub should be in a Writer Kim's drama. This is much better actually. Hong Sisters drama would suit him better.

Of course my eternal love to Gong Hyo Jin unnie. ^^

I have soft spot for Hong sisters but I hope they not going to try to be overly ambitious with the plot. I'm worried but allowing myself to be excited.

Whaaa? Read they might be starring together, but didn't know it was a Hong sisters drama. I rather like that their dramas feature actors who've never been leads in their dramas before. I'm on the meh train about this one. I have NOT recovered from the Big disaster, especially because I wasn't the greatest fan of Best Love. Guess we'll see with this one. Their supernatural dramas tend to better suit their writing. We'll see.

Waaaw~ Another the hong sister story! I dunno why i cant stop to watch they drama since Fantasy Couple. They rom-com drama is different from others. The hong sister makes me laugh loudly in the start and CRYING in the end. Always like that!

Gahhhhh...I'm not Hong Sisters' biggest fan, but I love this PD a lot. Might check this one out.

I can't see these two together at all... and Gong Hyo Jin ruined Best Love for me with her phlegmatic acting.

With all that said, I'm still checking this out.

Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub in a Spellbound-ish drama?
*adds to watchlist*

:D

I love most of hong sister's dramas, only exception was for Big.... T_T But I still have big expectation for them, and I love gong hyo jin... <3 And I have a soft spot for So ji sub. I watched most of his works, love him a lot in MISA, his garfield eyes always capture my heart, hehehe. And I think he was pretty good in rom com, just like he did in 'We Are Dating Now' with Chae Rim

yay!!!! :)

I love Hong Sisters (and I wish to delete Big from their drama record)....and I was eagerly waiting for their next drama...and Gong Hyo jin is one of my favorites....so definitely count me in for this show.

I hope the Hong Sisters go back to doing more comedy, pop culture references, and parodies. :D

Big was ok, as far as experiments go.

It's like the Hong Sisters "Casual Vacancy". They had to try some things. Now that it's out of their system, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do what you do best!

---

Maybe So Ji Sub will rap in this drama?

Hm. I've loved all of the dramas I've seen that the Hong Sisters have penned, except for their last drama which was the biggest disappointment..

Hur hur hur..Not funny? Okay.

Hopefully Big was an exception and doesn't become the rule. But as a huge fan of their early dramas, I am totally on board.

*Glass raised. Here's to hoping that Master's Sun will be full of silly awesomeness.

i am so in. waiting for this drama. i believe this one will be like a HIT (not like BIG ) since there is best A list Actress who can really act a.k.a SJS and GHJ

Bring it on :)

I think this is a good career move for So Ji Sub. He needs to show that he can do more than dark and broody. If he actually manages to pull of comedy then he is a really great actor. To me the mark of a great actor is being able to do serious and funny equally well. It's why I think actors like Gong Yoo and Kang Ji Hwan are such treasures, or if you want to bring it back home, it's why I think Jimmy Stewart and Tom Hanks are two of the best actors ever born.

So, I hope this goes well for SJS and also to wash the terrible taste of Big out of my mouth. Please, Hong Sisters, get back on track!

Definitely marathoning this one...can't risk the same scarring as with Big. I even had my mom watch that one with me because I thought Hong = good!

I consider Big too big a disaster to be only the result of the writers... Pure comedy is what the HS do the best and nothing like an actor who has the image of a stick in the *** but can make fun of himself. I also adore GHJ so I'm in.

Should I be excited or not? Well, out of all the Hong Sisters' dramas, I only missed out on Hong Gil Dong & Big. I'm all for a serious actor turning goofy (Cha Seung-won as Dokko Jin!), but how I wished my Lee Min-ho picked a Hong Sisters' drama instead. SG is the only drama I watched from that writer and mostly because of Hyun Bin. And the Oska character. And the OST. ;) Gong Hyo-jin? If it's better than Best Love, hope she's on it. If not, then...

I've only liked So Ji Sup in the drama Sorry I Love You. After that all his other dramas were too melo for me. Not that this wasn't T_T but maybe I had a change in taste and started liking more upbeat dramas like Answer 1997 =D

Love So Ji-sub ,but I feel Gong Hyo- Jin looks to old to play his romantic intrest.

OMG OMG, i love gong hyo jin!!! love love love her!!! and so ji sub is not bad either, i've seen some of his films and the drama he did with im soo jung and another he did with han ji min, not bad, not bad :)

this pairing is such a SURPRISE. omg, i never even thought they would pair these 2 together, especially so ji sub, this might be the first time i see him do comedy :o

if gong hyo jin refuses, i hope they ask im soo jung, i would love to see a so ji sub/im soo jung reunion ;D but gong hyo jin is good, soooo good, i hope she accepts, i hope they BOTH accepts!!

I really like GHJ's dress in that picture. Oh and I guess...maybe...might watch it. But tbh the last Hong sister drama I liked was MGIAG.

I love So Ji sub but I can never forgive HS after what they have done in Big.

Soo.. the villain must be a ghost? And they will team up as ghostbuster?

You know what I think would work? Bring Uhm Ki Joon in as one of the ghosts. Heck, dress him up as the Phantom. So Ji Sub would be like, I thought I kicked your ass last summer... It'd be great if they aired in April. Too bad, July. Hmm.

I have gotten quite a BIG scar that I'm not getting giddy over the news. So Ji Sub is just meh (for me, coz i'm into pretty boys more than brooding serious ahjusshi althougH jANG hYUK is my only exception). Gong Hyo Jin had already played the perfect character in Best Love, so, can i see someone else? (but if they're courting choi kang hee in her stead; i'd be begging her to stay)

I liked Big, I didn't say it was perfect, but I really did like it. =P One of the few that actually liked the ending and got it. XD

Plus, I liked that they were trying to fix the one thing that DBs often complains about.... so that means this next drama is going to be AWESOME and a bit unpredictable as they bring what they learned last time into this one. (i.e. A subtle hand on some aspects).

I like writers who take risks. (Otherwise you get the travesty that was called Boar Horse Doctor.) If the Hong Sisters stop experimenting, I'll stop watching.

Still, I wish for the amusement ride effect they like to pull that makes their drama crack.

Ah, I foresee the end of a long winter dry spell after the end of King of Dramas. No wonder the starting point of dramas has been mediocre.

Drama God, don't say stop, say go! Win that bet.

Wish it was a new actress that has never worked with the Hong sisters for the role....

Yeah !!!!! Can't wait to see !!!
>o<

After Big Hong Sisters dramas are automatically watch after they are finished only until further notice.

Gong hyo jin never upset mmmeee! Love u!! N I like so ji suuub toooo.. Hope the. Sttoryyyy is perfeccccct..

Im all in for SJS being in a Hong sisters drama. I mean his comedic streak could be a hidden gem as evidenced by his rap videos. Loooool.

1. big was a huge, gigantic, colossal failure. from any other writer one might be able to forgive and forget... but from the writers who gave us chunhyang, my girl, fantasy couple, it's just baffling, and astounding. okay, i can forgive. but i don't think i'd be able to forget anytime soon.

2. so ji-sub in a rom-com? yes please!! i feel like i've only ever seen him in heavy dark stuff and would be THRILLED to see him in something cute and fluffy (hopefully). i'm not a particular fan of him, but it would be interesting to see him in something light for a change.

Is this good news or a prelude to a massive disappointment?
I tend to love Hong Sisters' work, I dropped BIG right away so I avoided a trauma and I am kind of optimistic in the writing department.
GHJ is great at comedy and given a well writen role *fingers crossed* she can do a brilliant job. I take her without much ado.

Now, SJS. Our epitome of a brooding, troubled character in a comedy? On the one hand I wouldn't get my expectations too high. On the other hand, maybe it wasn't lack of acting range (or not only lack of range) but also typecasting that makes us see him brooding and suffering as a default? Maybe he has been hiding the dork inside him because his melo roles are more lucrative? I would like SJS to let go of his smoldering image and show himself from a different side. In case he doesn't, it may turn out something of A Thousand Years of Love WTFery (I think any Dr Jin comparisons would be valid too). A different kind of funny ;)

OMGOMGOMGOMG. I am so psyched for this! I was as disappointed with Big as everyone else, but I know we can always count on the Hong Sisters for a good dose of comedy and romance and that is absolutely my favorite thing in kdrama. Also Gong Hyo Jin is absolutely amazing and I happen to love So Ji Sub as well after seeing I'm Sorry I Love You. He's obviously a very serious actor, but I think that's why it would be great to see him being a full on goof ball. Greatest Love managed to convert Cha Seung Won and I think Dok Go Jin is one of the funniest characters out there. Maybe SJS will be able to supply some hardy comedy as well?

So Ji Sub has a dorky side or maybe he's just awkward. I like his off screen persona more than when he's onscreen.

Remember when he just said,'' Thank you...'' for his acceptance speech at the award show? lol Ok....He wasnt trying to be funny but still I had a good laugh.

I'm not really a big fan of The Hong Sisters. I tried watching Best Love but got bored after the first episode. I didn't even bothered watching Big, because the reviews were so awful. This one does sound interesting but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Can this guy even smile?? I'm serious all dramas I've seen him in, he looks so serious... and sad.. that I can't be fully excited about this. I usually fall in love with male leads of Hong sisters' dramas, but.. idk. And this is the first time they're casting one actress twice, I'm surprised..
