Sigh.

Dr. LEE YOUNG OH!!!!

I was looking forward to a female- centric thriller. I like Jang Hyuk and I hope he accepts the role but I am still a little disappointment that once again the males are taking over kdramaland. More good and important roles for actresses!!!!!!
But I hope they did not change the synopsis and both leads will be important to the story and both will have well developed characters.

Why would bae doona turn it down because of jang hyuk? I love him since beautiful mind

Haha this actually sounds like the mother ship calling it's lost child back into it's folds. Jang Hyuk is perfect for an action/ thriller and OCN is the perfect channel for such shows. But, sigh, I was happy that they might try something female- centric for once. What I wouldn't have given for a kickass female lead. Shouldn't complain though, if this means I get to see Jang Hyuk in action so soon. (Can I start the vote for the female lead- Jang Nara- she was kickass enough in IRY and I want the jjang couple back on my screen)

Oppa!!!!

Oh it's been an awesome few days- first Nam Goong Min and then now Jang Hyuk??

*bows down and fervently thanks the Drama Gods*

And they have their movies (as baddies) coming out soon too! ???

Please accept!

Oh! Why don't they cast them both?:)

I'm not complaining to see Jang Hyuk back to dramaland, thriller with OCN at that. Just never do KBS drama again, oppa. ;)

However I hope there are more female centric drama in dramaland, we got some this year like Doctors (although i'm not really convinced this is actually female centric drama?), Flower In Prison, Woman With A Suitcase, Age of Youth, and Oh Hae Young (to name few, i cannot remember all). Hope to see female centric thriller because it could be different. The Village : Secret of Achiara last year had more potential if it is aired on cable, (I was convinced it was also female centric although sadly Moon Geun Young was underused).

Well OCN is a male dominated lead station. It's sad they changed course, but I can't wait for more Jang Hyuk.

Lol I don't think jang hyuk's offer has anything to do with bae doona turning it down. Firstly she's more in hollywood now, and after doing projects like so many thrillers in that genre where it seems like she has already seen some success I thought it's a given that she won't be much interested in doing such a role in kdrama. Also yes for JH! I would be really happy if he does the role and can forget the bitter experiences that he had to suffer from Beautiful Mind. The story sure sounds interesting and I hope there would still be the bad ass female character in cards.

I love crime thrillers of such plot and maybe Kim So-yeon or Ha Ji Won could be the female lead, they are so kickass and I love them in action shows...I noticed that normally TVN and OCN (especially the latter) tend to have more "intelligent" shows like crime/thrillers/psychological stuff (outwitting the baddies) and lesser on romance...

That's too bad, was really looking forward to Bae Doona lead a thriller on OCN. Jang Hyuk is great, but it's not like he lacks drama offers where he can shine. SIGH

Oooooooooh man, I was so excited at the idea of Bae Doona leading this drama. But JH is a really good choice for a lead, hope he accept it.

So his character is basically Oh Gu Tak in Bad Guys, although it's a fairly familiar setup in general. I hope the drama is good, so I can have the chance to see Jang Hyuk again after he knocked it out of the park in Beautiful Mind. Sad about the change in direction, but maybe it'll work out.

I am sorry Bae Doona turned this down because I would have liked to see her in a Korean drama. So far I have seen her in Hollywood/Netflix productions and she is awesome! I was blown away by her talent. But at the same time, I am so excited to see Jang Hyuk in another drama, I know he will really do justice to this role. It's a win/win for everyone concerned.

On another note, doesn't this man ever stop working? I swear he works in back to back projects! He's a work horse!

Bae Doona and Ha Ji Won were both great in As One. They were so badass it made ping pong look extra cool.

Yippee!!

I loved Kim Hye-Soo's performance in SIGNAL, and would love to see her in action with JH. Seo Hyun-Jin has the chops to pull it off, too (based on her badassery in THE KING'S DAUGHTER, SU BAEK-HYANG).

Jang Hyuk! The most shocking thing about this update is that we're talking 2017 kdramas already. Time flies!

I would love to see Jang Hyuk in a thriller! The role sounds good too. Can't believe this would be his first cable drama! Time for a change. OCN better treat him right.

Since this drama will probably not be female-centric, I hope the leading lady will be a strong character at the same level as the male lead then.

He literally plays the same character in every single drama since Chuno

Nooooo!!!

I love JH. Even though I haven't seen him in a drama other than FtLY.

But I was finally going to see Bae Doo Na. Can't it still be the two? Previous reports made it seem like a male & female pair with the girl as the main character and minor, if any, romance happens.

Female main character who isn't boring please! Imo last one was Doctors, semi DotS but the best to date was Jang Nara in I Remember You. For a villain turn main character: Lee El would be a great choice! Liar Game & Wild Romance was lit.

Please let it be equal gender-centric, since it is about 2 operators. The other ways never quite pan out.

Also does this mean anything for Missing 9?

weeeellllll. I was excited for this drama but idk now...I love JH I was just hoping for a female-centric drama..the plot still is interesting and I will likely tune in because of that and JH but man I was really hoping for a female lead..

Well, Bae Doona turned it down and they changed the story with that, is that it?? Sigh! I still love Jang Hyuk and OCN is a good place for him to flex those perfect acting muscles with its versatile range without networks being stupid and choosing quantity over quality. I am happy.

They offered the female part to Chun Woo-hee, another movie actress. I would love to see her on the small screen. Hope for a good drama.
