ok this is the best news ever... sjs in a hong sis drama. i didn't like big but i still have faith in them
and sjs is my fave actor!!! so i watch anything he does... ghj sometimes i like her sometimes not... but i like her in Best Love so i have hopes
i guess i have my drama crack of the year :)))

OMG!!!!! This is so exciting!! You just made my day with this set of news! So Ji Sub? YES YES YES! Can't wait!

Hong Sisters drama? Nah, I've given up on these two, Not even my love for Cha Seung Won could have keep me watching "GL" Not even my Love for Gong Yoo could have made me watch BIG.

If so ji sub in this, i am totally in. I ve been hoping that guy take a role other than sad serious hero for ages.. this better be good!

Hong Sisters are still in a time out. Nothing they have done tops my all time Hong Sisters favorite, My Girl.

Is it wrong that I want the male lead to be Lee Kwang Soo? I loved him and Gong Hyo-Jin on Running Man. I mean if it is a rom-com, she can be the rom and he can be the com. So Ji-Sub can continue to be the inside of my eyelids. :)

Yeay for SJS starring in a rom-com!! Park Chul Woong [his character in Glass Slippers] was the one who turned me into his fangirl, so it'll be great to see him back in that type of character. Broody SJS is cool and all, but I really miss his dorky/fun character

Love love Gong Hyo-jin! She is absolutely one of most beloved K-actress. She can probably make me forget the %@$#@%$%^^%*& from the Hong Sisters in the past (Big, I am looking at you!) and actually look forward to this! Now, that's star power.

PLEASE, PLEASE, NOT GONG HYO JIN as the Female Lead!!!
Writer-nim, PLEASE get another star as the Female Lead......

I LOVE Cha Seung Won but did NOT watch "Best Love" bcoz of GHJ... GHJ spoilt the drama for me...

Anyone BUT GHJ, Please........

I love the Hong sisters comedy romance but I wish they stopped adding magic to it... I prefer My Girl, Delightful Girl Choonhyang, You're Beautiful and Best Love a lot more than Gumiho and Big...

ohhhh i'm so excited~
Love Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub in a rom com? yay! about time kekeke
and I loved Big, (not the ending), but that drama to me isn't the worse or that bad actually.

I'm still mad at Big. That drama could have been something instead of one big ball of rage.

i love so ji sub the most
hope this drama will be great
can't wait to see it sooon ^^

I JUST watched GHJ in Best Love (which I enjoyed), but I'd like to see a different actress in this new Hong drama~
I really, really liked Cha Seung Won in Best Love the most.

I haven't watched any dramas with So Ji Sub yet so I'm pretty neutral about him so far.

I didn't realize Big was one of Hong Sisters' works...til now. Lol. I heard it was very bad so I'm not even trying to watch it.

I'm tired of seeing him sad. I don't want him dead anymore. I would love watching SJS being made fun of. There should also be references made on his broody characters from WHIB and I'm Sorry I love you. Please please please accept the role.

Love Gong Hyo-jin (not only for her sublime acting, but her performance on "Running Man").

As for the Hong Sisters, I think their reputation far exceeds their actual abilities in writing.

"Hong Gil Dong" was a mediocre sageuk at best (probably one of the worst ones that I have watched when it comes to both dialogue and acting).

Not a good thing when all the main characters held zero interest for me with many of the supporting characters annoying (like the character of Sung Yuri's father who I guess was supposed to bring humor but instead, was really annoying).

Best characters were the rival female lead by Kim Ri Na and the 2 rebel leaders (before HGD took control) played by Cha Hyun Jung and Park Sang Wook (it was more the appeal of these actors than anything else).

MGIAG had a lot of flaws - weak, not well fleshed out supporting characters; an antagonist that was a bit underwhelming; a story line that really faltered and started to hit the typical K-drama clichés (wedding? over-use of characters crossing paths at opportune/inopportune moments); etc.

But despite all those flaws, it was saved by how the Hong Sister wrote and how Shin Min ah played the character of Mi-ho. Single handedly, SMA was the show and she, alone, made MGIAG worth a watch.

"Best Love" was the Hong Sister's most complete romcom.
I know that some people didn't like the character of Dokko Jin b/c he was over the top, but that was the whole point to the character and what made him funny.

Aside from the making the second male lead/rival a bit too perfect (and hence boring), the Hong sisters did a better job w/ the overall story line (pretty basic as romcoms go) and did a much better job w/ the supporting characters - but the appeal of BL was all the humor (this is definitely the funniest of the Hong Sisters dramas that I have watched and one of the funnier romcoms in general).

The kid, "Ding Dong", in particular was a memorable character, and his relationship w/ Dokko Jin was one of the best example of a "bro-mance" despite the difference in age (both hilarious at times and touching).

"Big" was a complete mess - basically goes on my pile of worst K-drama romcoms ever along with "Secret Garden", "Lie to Me" and "Rooftop Prince."

Only watched a few eps of "My Girl" - the writing was mediocre and basically couldn't handle watching Lee Dae-hae anymore.

I'm not so hyped with this news. Somehow I think Hong sister's drama only work when they cast younger actors. Not because they act better, but because Hong sister's main characters tend to overly childish. I can somehow stand early-twenty y.o. people (and under) acting like eleven y.o. kids, but I can't say so with thirty something y.o. adult. They need to realize that rom-com can be funny even when the characters act their age.

So Ji Sub is a stone face in melos/dramas but he is surprisingly good at comedic acting so I'm hopeful for this duo. I just don't like Gong Hyo Jin - I mean I know she is considered "cool", great actor, fashionista, beauty etc. and I agree that her performances are always solid but there is something about her that turns me off. She doesn't pair well with anyone I have seen so far.

While I loved Best Love, I can't help but think how Kim Sun Ah would be so much better for the role.

Urgh, the Hong sisters. Brilliant beginnings, melodramatic middles, and disappointing endings (noooo, I broke the alliteration :P). The thing with their works is that I always get so pumped when I first start watching, because the main leads will always be awesome and the storyline will always be awesome as well, but then they start getting all melo and angsty and completely ridiculous around the halfway mark. And then, their endings are never satisfying nor up to par with their beginnings, so they end up being sort of disappointing and don't redeem the drama in any way, but they're not completely life-ruining either because those angsty episodes before the finale had already done that job. Why. Seriously. And also, their use of kdrama cliches, omg. =.= It's just so annoying, because the first few episodes of their dramas are almost always amazing. And then I inevitably get hurt every time. *sob*

tl;dr - don't know if I should bother this time. D:

so many dream pairings these days. to me it all started with hyun bin ha ji won, then shin hye shi yoon then this. but yeah, i'd like to see so ji sub be less broody and if this drama gnna make him do that, i'm all in. but gong hyo jin aldry had me in =)

I love this! Totally cant wait!!!

i'm all for So Ji sub as he did comedy b4 in 3 girl 3 men way long time ago ..but if a saguek don't u think HAN JI MIN would be better choice???

2 hopes: That the Hong sisters do not pull a Big...and that So Jisub sticks with this drama with Gong Hyojin. For those who are on the fence about So, isn't this what you've all been waiting for? For him to expand and test his limits in a variety of roles? I commend him if he does take that step outside his comfort zone!

Ugh. They are joining in the the super natural badwagon. ;A;

eh i prefer a diff actress. but yes to so ji sub<3

I'm trying to imagine SJS in a comedic light... It's not really working out. Who knows they might use his seriousness to their advantage and make it ridiculously funny. I still have hope. I mean Big was hilariously bad. That still counts as funny, right?

I was one of the Hong sisters' fans who was scarred from Big :( The latter parts were disappointing and felt it was dragging.. I'm hoping that this one will turn out good! Like best love :D

I'm pretty pissed at the Hong Sisters (cuz of BIG) and So Ji Sub (cuz of Ghost) but because Gong Hyo Jin is in this drama I will give it a go. She is the most adorable creature on earth and I've yet to see her in a drama I didn't love.

Well So ji sub is charismatic ,sexy and a good guy off screen undoubtedly, but he needs a good coach for avoiding his stiffness,because He has awful in Ghost i think is his worst role in years and the industry gave him a price,unbelieveable... She is sweet but I believe as couple they havent chemistry at all I hope to be wrong indeed.

Lets have some faith with hong sisters drama, I am very excited about it. I am okay with all dramas except best love may be it ? "big" was fabulous and only crashed with the climax ..but I enjoyed the whole journey so that okay ...awaiting eagerly @!!! trailers looks ghosty
