Just reading the headline made me nervous.

Confidential Agent, VIP - is a someone from the north working with someone from the south the new thing?

Hoo boy, as I read I thought, oh no! Cue the bad foreign actors. Fingers crossed that won't happen 🤞🏽

any guesses who will be casted? i hope yoon shi yoon will get a chance. i really wish he can get another breakthrough role, its been 7-8 years since baker king. huhu.

I hope Kim Jae Wook is in here.

Well, I can dream

I'm nervous while reading this article. There are many ambitious projects next year, but I might end up love the underdog ones lol.

Well good luck team! Hope to hear more news especially on the castings. I think they will cast big names here, and maybe idols too.

It will be awesome if they can do it properly ala kmovies in the same genre. Thinks something like Confidential Assignment meet Berlin File. But I wont hold my breath to much with that genius girl plot. But at least we will get somewhat decent foreign actors if they also looking at Hollywood for casting?? So maybe we'll end up with Iris2018 and hopefully not Iris2-revival2018 or Athena2018

They have enough money to hire a great writer and a film director/great director but they are probably going to spend it all on overseas shoots and stuff to blow up.
IRIS was nothing to write home about.

Sounds like a mess waiting to happen, honestly.

This can go 1 of 2 ways:

1. Huge success

2. The behind the scenes drama could turn into something like “Mr. Sunshine behind-the-scenes redux”, considering the production costs AND the intention to look for, not only A-List names of Korea for the project, but also actors from Hollywood

Everything about this looks exciting to the point you can't wait to see if they'll mess it up.

I remember DOTS so boring on paper even it has cast superstars. But this one looks too good considering the dry spell on dramaland.

I want to watch a good action drama but I really hope the script will live up to all the promises. Casting big names and high budget is not enough. I am moderately optimistic but hope for the best. Bring it on!

I love blockbusters! still gonna wait until the cast is confirmed before getting on board this drama.

but Mr.Sunshine didnt make me excited at all. and is firmly under NOT Watching list.

This blockbuster stuff isn't really my thing. For me k-drama is where I can get either a fictional romance and a slice of life lesson. But, who knows, there might be a chance to get Kang Dong-won to dramaland, and if he'll jump in, I'll do too.

I hope it's same level as IRIS or even better. Thank God, 2018 looks promising :) I'm looking forward to Mr. Sunshine, Wise Prison Life & that one from Lee Young Ae.

I have a feeling this will be offered to my fav actor. But I hope he reject this. I don't have a good feeling about this.

i pray park shin hye will be given the female lead.dramagod pls answer my prayer

I think the plot would be interesting if the drama plot is indeed close to the eponymous Greek mythological character. Prometheus was a titan whose name meant "looking forward". He stole fire from the gods for the powerless first humans he created, despite the fact that he would be severely punished. Eventually, his crime was revealed and he was chained onto a rock and an eagle would devor his entails and they would grow back in the day, and the torture would repeat again. Promethus is a martyr but not exactly a saint because he tried to hide his crime by tricking the Father of the Gods.

Kim Jung-un is sure an inspiration. The title though, anyone remember that sci-fi movie with the same title? Thought so. I'm afraid any coherent storytelling would go out the window when they spend all of their resources to flashy action scenes. HMPF

Next year seems like a make up year for this year's lackluster dramas.

If my Kdw gets this offered, I will watch it. And cherish it. And probably boycott KBS in years to come since k-dramas never live up to hype.

But my KDW has been drama-free for 15 years, so I'm not worried much :D
