Lee Je-hoon offered time-travel romance Tomorrow With You

OH. This is so much better! Lee Je-hoon (Signal) and Shin Mina (Oh My Venus) together in a time-travel romance? Be still my heart. Upcoming tvN fantasy drama Tomorrow With You has encountered its share of casting drama and production setbacks, from an early rejection by Han Ji-min, to a scandal that took Lee Min-ki out of the running, which ended up delaying the premiere a few months. But after confirming an early 2017 broadcast and beginning a new search for a leading man, things are looking way, way up.

The upbeat fantasy romance comes from the PD of hilarious tvN comedies Oh My Ghostess and High School King of Savvy, and the writer of Full Sun and the movie All About My Wife. It’s described as “sweet and savage,” and tells the story of a time-traveling husband and his cheerful wife… whom he married in a calculated move, to prevent the unhappy future that he witnessed on one of his trips to his own future.

Lee Je-hoon has been offered the role of the husband, a time-traveler who owns a real estate company worth 200 billion won. Well if I could go to the future, I’d be a billionaire too. But when he sees his future self living unhappily, he decides to avoid that fate by marrying Shin Mina without love. While their start is a fake marriage, he sees that his wife gets hurt because of him, and it starts to distress him. The story is about him slowly falling in love with her, despite marrying her for selfish and loveless reasons.

That sounds adorable, and I’m beyond excited at the idea of Lee Je-hoon letting loose in a bright and cheery drama. We all know he’s amazing at intense thrillers, but there’s a whole wide world of rom-coms out there, and the perfect bubbly co-star in Shin Mina. Hell, he’s already an expert in messing with time after Signal. Argh, now I want this to happen so badly that I’ll be crushed if the two of them don’t sign on. Don’t break my heart, Lee Je-hoon! Future me will never forgive you!

Tomorrow With You is slated to be a Friday-Saturday drama premiering in late December or early January. Why does that seem so far away now?

Lee Je-hoon + romance = YAY!

Drama Gods owe us one for not letting Lee Min-ki back on screen earlier so this better happen.

But why give up on being a billionaire? You could make Signal 2 happen(faster?) with that!

If I could go to the future... I'd probably just waste my time checking which dramas end well so I can save time in the present. Glad to know Park Hae-young is using his futuristic powers much better.

Does he marry SMA randomly without love because he finds himself growing old alone? Or does he marry her in advance because he finds out he'll be sad without her in his life? So it's like a reverse Oh Hae-young?

Why do kdramas hurt my head with their twisty-twistedness lately?

So disappointed that Lee Min Ki is out. Such a shame. Was looking forward to seeing him on the small screen as lead. It's been a long time. Too bad he got involved in a sex scandal.

Lee Je-hoon was the only weak point in signal. His acting is very artificial...Lee Min Ki acting on the other hand is very intense...he had a short role in Shot up FB that I can never forget...such a shame that Korean audiance care so much about these fake sexual accusations...?

Oh, I agree with every word, esp. the part about Lee Je Hoon being the only weak link in Signal. It was a pain to watch his parts compared with his seasoned costars.
Wishing for Lee Min Ki to have a comeback soon, preferably on the small screen.

(for future fans to see) there was no weak point in Signal. People just love to find flaws. Lee Je Hoon is awesome and I can't see any other actor playing as Park Hae Young any better.

I kinda think that even IF Lee Je-hoon was the "only weak point" in Signal, it was a very very very very very weak point at that! :P

I'm worried about the Full Sun writer, which was a decent melo but had nothing to demonstrate a good fit with the

All ABout My Wife was a rom-com, so I expect there will be really funny moments and then moments of real emotion and connection like in Full Sun. That's the hope.

I wanted to see him in a romance so badly after Signal and now I can live vicariously through Shin Mina hehehe.
Not a fan of his character description though. His signal character was starved of affection and wouldve fit well here.

Ooh! I like Shin Mina a lot and although I've not seen Signal yet every one seems to be raving about it so this has me excited. And if they both accept I have from now till Jan 2017 to finally get down and watch Signal! (Which should be enough time right?? I hope...)

I like Lee Je Hoon a lot and this would take some of the sting out of Lee Min Ki not doing it. But I will always be sad he couldn't do this since I feel like this may have been the last time we could have seen him in a drama, and I'm just not that big a Korean movie watcher. But with a scandal following him now, drama land may forever close to him. :'(

Though this news is a just an expectation, it would crush seriously all my hopes to see him back on Signal set before the end of the year.
I know it wasn't realistic to being with, but a girl can't stop dreaming just like that...

I've never seen Shin Mina in anything, so i just hope they'll have good chemistry and it won't rely too much on cuteness.

The chemistry and sexual tension that he shared with Kim Hye Soon in Signal was subtle but real and intense. It was mature, even in the way the characters refused to give in (to which i'm grateful because i was totally supporting Cha Soo Hyun's romance with Lee Jae Han). I hope it won't stop me for shipping his characters with others actresses.

So the PD will be the same as the one who directed high school king of Savvy?
It turns out that i'm currently watching it (5 episodes in so far), and i couldn't stop myself to picture Lee Je Hoon in the main role (an after effect of my Signal addiction).
Though i wouldn't exchange any cast member, they're all fantastic.

This drama is an oddball: an impossible mix of very good things (the cast, the romance) and very bad things (the comedy).
An ambitious show without a doubt, but which seems to forget regularly its goals to bring some reality to its clearly whimsical premice and keeps grounded the characters.
And consequently, it falls hard at an erratic pace into the worst of the k-drama tropes. It's so uneven that you go from an excellent scene to a bad scene more quickly than i write this.

I hope Tomorrow With You will avoid those traps.

I totally agree with that chemistry/tension he shared with Kim Hye Soo in Signal. Its what made me want to see him in a romance in the first place! Hope its as intense this time and not slapstick/romcom.

It was well written, well played and SO frustrating!

I wonder if it's the frustration coming from their characters unresolved tension that explains his interest to take on a romance for his next project...

I mean it looks like it was as real for him that it was for his character: the Signal BTS vids don't hide anything from his attraction for Kim Hye Soo...
Though he doesn't seem to be shy about it: he even claimed in a variety show that he wished she knows about his feelings.

This is the reason I come back to db in the first place..what a great way to turn around with another strong actor of potential..lee je hoon would be rocking this. I've been wanting to see architecture 101 ever since signal happened..but then the premonition about the girl's sad past won't go away.Lee je hoon is already comfortable enough with all the time travelling that happened at signal,so curious to watch how he does romance,after mystery.

Yes please! *crossing fingers and toes til he confirms

I know I'm not the only one DYING to see Le Je Hoon in something light and romantic (assuming the story doesn't turn melo). And Shin Mina really melds well with her male costars, she will have chemistry with any one ♥

i'm such a big LJH fan but SOOOOO bummed that LMK isn't in the running anymore.

personally, i think LMK x SM are great visual matches because they both look a little weird lol. regardless, i like both LMK and LJH so i guess this is okay. i just wanted to see LJH back on the small screen w a different actress tbh (MCW comes to mind :p)

UMM yes to this, the premise sounds promising and I loved Lee Je Hoon in Phantom Detective, haven't watched Signal yet but it's def on my list after watching him act in Phanton Detective...he showed he was pretty good at the comedic elements in that film and since then I've been thinking I'd love to see him in a romance drama too, preferably a rom-com of course <3

I badly wanted to him and Park Bo Young paired in a drama (how cute would she have been in this one) but SMA is adorable also so this will satisfy me for now.

What a clever writer you are! I'm so excited about LJH and Shin Min Ah together for this story! We saw him recently in the movie Phantom Detective because I loved his acting in Signal. He is one excellent actor! Shin Min Ah is not my favorite, but the plot sounds fun.

I love stories about husbands slowly falling in love with his wife in a marriage of convenience. It's one of those tropes I like I guess and are filled with possibilities.

Now that I know a little more about the drama, this sounds awesome and I really want him to sign on! The director is cool. I loved both Full Sun and All About My Wife (which was sweet and savage if you think about it). It would be great if him and Shin Mina would sign on! Rooting for this!!

Not excited about Shin Mina (but she's someone I can watch). But Lee Je Hoon? come on, make this happen!

he's been longing for a role in a not-so-dark, tragic, and angsty drama. this is it, my dear! grab it!!!

What a promising pairing! A big yes for these actors who are full of charms and undeniable talent.

The PD promises the comedy and a light romance. On the other hand, the writer gives me almost zero reassurance. Especially an adaptation from an Argentinian film is not exactly a considerable achievement. Argentina is famous for the wild comedy, the excellent plots and the fantastic rhythm in its films. I think it's safe for us to say that the writer did practically nothing in All About My Wife.

The description of the show sounds like lots of things we've already watched or read and one can even claim that it's a tad weird but after Another Oh Hae-young and its vague, almost uncomprehending introduction at the early stages of the production I'm all in. tvN is on fire!
