This is exciting news! Reasons to watch:
1. Lee Jun Ki
2. The production team
3. Lee Jun Ki
4. TvN drama
5. LEE JUN KI!!!

Please god let him take the role.... Please god let it be a good show....Please god let this director know what to do with talented man and put him in front of the camera and just let him emote....I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU Lee Jun-ki !!!!

Yay! Oh happy day. Finally, I can’t wait to see him back. Hmmm, 🤔 so now, who will complete the OTP? Park Min Young? Park Bo Young? Please, please let it ne a good one!

Plot sounds OK but it can only either be hit or miss. I hope the writer will be a good one because this PD is quite good.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the day when this man will be a simple and normal human being in a romance melodrama or romcom. I know he is good in sageuk or thrillers, but I want to see his performance in what could be plain and less interesting role in writing, but somehow his acting and approach to the role able to make the character stand out. Maybe that time I'll properly become his fan.

I will always welcome Lee Jun Ki no matter how bad his dramas are! Hopefully this 'action' drama will be better than his last one and I see more character and life in this role

You had me at ‘Lee Joon Gi’ 😍😍😍😍😍😍 But, but an “ offer” out to him is not an absolute ‘he’s been cast’ 😞 And even then, having it air after a drama that’s after the currently airing “Hwayugi” isn’t soon enough 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

"But apparently I will never give up on him.....Scholar Who Walks the Night......because he’s due for a good one any day now, right? Right?"

This reminds me of a Chinese proverb which states something like if you travel the road at night often enough, you are bound to bump into a vampire, no I mean ghost. I am pretty sure it is ghost.

Lee Joon gi❤️
And the pd of dog and wolf I am excited
I second you JB he is due for a drama that lives up to his talent
I am ready to learn to cast spells if that can help

Haha @juniper and @missjb
We've been talking about PD Kim Jin-min lately and I guess the drama gods heard us.
Kind of sad that Jung Ha-yeon and PD Kim are not working together in his upcoming MBC drama. "Sin Don" and "La Dolce Vita" some of their best work.

Well, finally Jun-ki got a very competent PD so I hope he'll sign on cause I'm tired of watching his last few crappy dramas.

Yoo Seong-yeol is due for a drama and he is already on CJ's payroll with OCN. Just pair them up please.

Yay. I am so excited the moment I read the possibility of him coming back with a new drama. 🤗🤗🤗

This premise sounds a lot like Jang Geun Suk's upcoming SBS drama.

I have always wanted him to play a prosecutor except am not too happy over the "gangster lawyer" thing. Sigh...it really is hard for him to break free from that image and keeps getting offered that kind of role.

But Lee Jun Ki is good no matter how bad the drama is. Anyway, who is the writer of this drama?

Thanks for the great news, Javabeans!

And thank you, tvN! Not only do I get to see Shin Dong-wook in LIVE following HWAYUGI, but I now have the prospect of Lee Joon-gi back on my screen. I hope that LAWLESS ATTORNEY is as gripping and well-paced as TWO WEEKS. Writer-nim, please hold the serial killers, okay?

The lawyer equivalent of YONG-PAL comes to mind. I'm still trying to figure out how they'll stage an epic car chase in the courtroom. Har!

As for revenge dramas, Jang Hyuk was great as the most recent avenging lawless lawyer, Kang Pil-soo, in MONEY FLOWER. He used his fists as well as the law. If he accepts the offer, LJG will also be in good company with Prosecutor Jang Do-han in LOOKOUT, and vengeful attorney Oh Seung-ha in THE LUCIFER / MAWANG.

Gosh, I'm totally with javabeans. I always give Lee Jun Ki's dramas a try and hope for the best. But I really didn't bother finishing Criminal Minds... >.<;;;

Anyway, love to see him back in action so soon!

"Time between Dog and Wolf" was my favourite drama with Lee Joon Gi, so I really hope this drama will be as good, if he accepts this offer. But I watched "Criminal Minds" for Lee Joon Gi, even though it was lacking in so many ways. So I think I would watch every drama with Lee Joon Gi in it ♡

I feel like crying. Please be good to my baby and give him a good drama @writers!!! PLEASE. I can never have enough of Lee Junki even after the numerous dramas that have let him down sighhh. Also pleaseeee let him blasting chemistry with his co-star (whoever they are). Let me start dreaming up potential OTP's. Best news today!

who will write this

*shaking*

don´t you dare fail Teacher, tvn

If it is Time Between Dog And Wolf (that title needs a re-imagining in the light of Hwayugi Universe), then....welll... production quality will probably be better since time has moved on, right?

well, think hard, Teacher. You really need a hit now.

A «former gangster turned lawyer on a revenge mission», just what I was expecting!!! Wow, awesome, wow,I cannot jump enough because I am excited.... ok, now those who (more or less) know me here will soon realise I am being cynical😒.
I mean, another legal drama???!!! Why koreans don't write stories based upon the life of normal people, men who work in computers, accounting, in a bank?! 😐Just regular clerks if they want to put them in an office, and give them a normal family, including nephews or nieces who are going through a rebel stage and a grandmother who is relatively healthy and then suddenly sick... You know, normal life. Oh no, because in every corner we are bound to meet lawyers or prosecutors who are fighting to bring justice in a corrupted country. 😂😂😂😂
I know they want to grab the public's attention, but all these plots are becoming boring and unreal to death. You cannot relate with heroes like that. Bring me back some See-he, Gang-doo and Kang-soo all together! 😍

Oppa to be back and I just pray it would be a better drama so I'd not tempt to drop it midway. And i firmly believe he just need one great drama to wash all past subpar ones.....
Jaebal god.... please let oppa come back in a good and gorgeous drama...

Sounds very promising. Hoping for good female lead too.

More legal dramas. *sighs* Even Lee Jun Ki may not be enough to make me watch this one.

I survived the dreading 20 episodes of Criminal Minds. If this drama is at least watchable, then I'll surely watch it 😉

If it's not sageuk, he won't get any romance in it, will he?

*starts her prayer circle for Oppa*

Oppa needs a good one,he's due one after quite a few disappointing ones.
I really want CMK as the 1st and last of his dramas that I dropped.I felt guilty for the longest time.

What a great news, @javabeans.
After seeing Lee Joon-ki in King and the Clown I can never give up on him. And as a underdog seeking revenge? Sold.

Dear drama Gods,

IF LJG accepts it, please, pretty please let this be good. Poor guy's talent has been wasted on a bunch of awfully executed dramas back to back and it's just a shame.

Thank you,
Spicykimchi

Let's be honest guys! Just the OST saves Criminal Minds.

So, like, Witch's Courtroom in reverse?

Legal dramas are in these days I guess. But I would watch anything with LJG...except Criminal Minds *I tied but failed*

i hope this drama is good, for Jun ki's sake, he keep getting terrible dramas.

why can't Lee Jun Ki be offered and accept a role that is just about a very sweet romance (no action, no badassery) with no evils.... this, i'd like to see.
*keeps fingers crossed, for years*

This plot reminds me of "Remember war of the son" and im not sure im sold on it, like, lee jun ki alone wasn't enough for me to watch criminal minds, so if this doesn't do well plot-wise, imma have to let it pass. Still, LJG is welcome any time, so let's hope for a good drama.

I'm going to have faith on this one. Please my love say yes to this.....

After so many burned, I cant help feeling pessimistic tbh. Do I like the combo of LJK & TODAW's PD, of course, but like I said.... I been burned crisp..
I think he needs a change of scenery and do a movie or two~

Im not giving on on Lee Jun Ki as well, because the problem with television drama is that the script can change midway, or released in half-cooked condition, which turn them from goodie to crazy - especially for greatly anticipated dramas.

We have seen that happening to our beloved dramas, like W, Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Goblin, Big, Scholar who walks the night...

Like they (writers, PD) dont have concept, like they dont know the characters that well, and dont have certain endings in mind. It made us audience scratch our heads so much that we start to loose hair. It makes great talents (like LJK) suffer.

No more of this, please. Please, llease please, make a solid script! You have done it with many dramas (voice, because it's the first time, to name a few), it means it is possible.

Dont let us down anymore.

I dont want to watch LJK with crazy hair like the last time he was at Scholar who walks the night, or suffer brain loss like when he was in scarlet heart and criminal minds or something similar to that.

I will watch this because: Oppa.
I do kind of want him in historical clothing though kind of like in Arang and the Magistrate 0_o

The female lead is offered to Seo Ye Ji.
Is she any good? At least I know she is not an idol.

Doesn't his character sound a bit like Ma Yi Deum? Lawless?

While I'm not fond of too much legal/courthouse stuff in dramas I do like the idea of working against the corrupt and powerful. I just want a great drama for LJK because I really, really like him.

But i am still waiting for Moon Lovers Season 2.. (The modern era)..

I'm starting to feel like he's actively bad at picking scripts. I like him, but I'm wondering if the shows I've liked that he's in have been flukes. I really liked him in Arang and the Magistrate but I did have some quibbles with that show. He keeps picking shows that sound good but deliver poorly. Like he goes for the concept and then they give him trash writing and he does the best he can. I want him to get a good show with a good script, like a Goblin or a Hwayugi.

I didn't know live was after hwayugi 😃😃
boy oh boy!
I can't wait to see CSW and lee dong wook *grin waaaw
Oh lee jun ki's drama...er..... hurray for all those interested lol
All i saw was 'live' and 'hwayugi' lol

Excited. OK, I have to say Scarlet Heart and Criminal Minds were rocky for most parts but Lee Jun Ki's performances were largely good so with the premise set out above, I'll definitely watch for it. Lol another weekender and considering I'm already preparing to have Hwayugi withdrawal symptoms once that ends, it'll be good to have another series to look forward to. All these great dramas 2017-2018 are asking me a fan of tvN 😂

Sold when you mention Lee Joon Gi as male lead!
