It's so obvious that her agency used strong arm tactics to get her the female lead role. She's certainly not good enough to headline a drama. Disappointing ..... Looks like I've got to pass.

Ohhhh I thought Minah gonna be his sister because Korean netizens kinda make it sound like that... So she's really gonna be the lead actress?

I really like Seo Hyo Rim so I dont understand why she is never casted as a lead. It must have something to do with popularity what with casting idol stars all the time (sometimes) as leads..hmm..

Maybe Minah is another Hyeri? I'm not the biggest fan of turning idols into actor/actresses but if they're good then why not? Fingers crossed Minah pulls out some real acting guns like how Hyeri did in Reply 1988.

This is a world that casts people like Suzy and that Orange Marmalade girl in lead roles beating out so many more talented actresses.... why are we even surprised.

At least her acting is better than Hyeri's but this is SBS weekend drama, it's sure to flop.

it'd be so great to see seo hyorim work her oddball charming alien who isn't really interested in hiding the fact that she's an alien schtick as a female lead, but i don't think she's actually talented enough to back that up. ah well, comedy's right up her alley and she should make a cute pair with ohn joo wan.

I understand that people are rooting for BJH. However, she has nothing to gain from playing a kind-hearted character in the crappiest SBS timeslot right after her universally panned role in MDGSW. The girl has every reason to reject the role.

I hope they have chemistry!

For some arcane reason, this casting is making me think of Modern Farmer - it's like a gender-flipped version of the idea behind the dynamic that brought us Honey Lee and Lee Hong-ki, only more so. ;-)

And while I thought both HL and LHK did a great job and were absolutely adorable in Modern Farmer - they had zero romantic chemistry. Right until the end they felt like bickering siblings to me.

So now I'm worried about chemistry...

Perhaps not the worry you'd expect to be first on anyone's mind, but there it is. :-)

It's this drama which was first presented as an idol drama, right? Because I still can't get why chaebols suddenly popped up from the plot.

Happy to see Song Hyo Rim in this. I haven't seen her in a drama in ages. Loved the days she used to host Music Bank with Song Joong Ki and watching both wind up in 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. With Lee Chung Ah in two dramas this year, two of my favs are finally out of the dungeon.

Come on... I like Minah, but COME ON. I'm so sick of idols in dramas! It's fun for completely fluffy projects, but they're pushing out legit actors in the meatier dramas. It has gone waaaaay too far.

I'm sick of the ageist casting too. An age gap story? Fine. But more often than not, these idol girls are playing much older characters. There are PLENTY of age appropriate actresses, Korea, get your shit together. I already have Hollywood pulling this crap.

However, I might be watching for Namgoong Min and Seo Hyorim. It's timely that she got casted since I'm finally watching SKK Scandal now, and I actually found her endearing. Maybe they meant for the romantic rival to be annoying, but I felt more for her (and Chosun) more than the main girl. I hope Seo Hyorim gets to play a similarly cute and flawed but endearing character here.

Yes. I don't get it either, how Min-Ah ended up as a lead; and Seo Hyo-rim as the 2d lead. Just does not make sense. I wonder what will be the role of Oh Hyun Kyung in this drama....

I am happy I saw the drama before reading the comments or I could have been biased against it and Minah as the female lead. Thankfully, the drama turned out delightful! I cannot imagine anyone else portraying the beautiful, friendly and fighting spirit of that girl besides Minah! The netizens have to sit back apologetically because the show is hilariously wonderful. Its' my favorite weekend comedy thanks to the off the charts chemistry between the leads and the playful and protective character portrayal by Nam Goong Min! He is the breakout surprise to this comedy which makes you forget the killer characters he played in previous dramas. A good storyline adds to the joy. There are no fully evil characters. The romantic build up between the leads with the age gap is believable. Goong Min's character, Ahn Dan Tae, looks like the perfect partner for Gong Shim. I forgot from episode 1 there is a large age gap between the actors. I wash shipping them hard by the end of episode 2. Kudos to the writer. The lesson learned from this is to avoid extreme opinions about a cast and storyline before the show airs. So glad I did!
