I wouldn't necessarily put Cha Tae Hyun in the same acting bracket as the other three, but he ain't that bad either, so maybe he'll elevate his performance to match Bae Doo Na.

Regarding the plot, I do hope the two couples remain separate and do not become entangled in each other's romances. I already see the angst potential with the first love thing but some dramas do put a twist on it (see Your House Helper: Tae Hee and lawyer).

I've got one question though: who is the writer? I think the content is quite assured given that it's an adaptation, but you'll never know with k-drama writers. Somehow they manage to screw up even the best scripts.

I'm not gonna be THAT person but isn't Bae Doona and this dude just got into a dating rumor??? Lmao

Not sure if I should be excited or worried. I have followed all of Cha Tae Hyun's drama including the not so great Jeon Woochi. Love his comedic acting even though he was typecasted in most, if not all, of his dramas and movies. This drama will be a new challenge for him.

Love Bae Doo-na too ever since Gloria. She will be great in any character. But it will be interesting to see how the chemistry between this two will work.

Mehn the chemistry between bae doo-na and Sohn suk-goo in Sense 8 was incredible! I saw him there and wandered why I didn't know him b4 cos I watch a lot of dramas. Turns out dat was his acting debut . Also didn't realize he was d same person until I was past midway of mother n someone mentioned it here, beanies are so awesome😀 I definitely hope to see this cos of this 2 and d ever wonderful Lee El

Oooh, awesome. I don't think I've ever really sat down and watched Cha Tae Hyun but I love everyone else attached to this.

I'm visualizing Lee El slipping into her Hwajugi character in the middle of a bitter divorce. "Can I kill him now?"

And Sohn Suk-goo in his Mother character !?!? What a pair :)

Man, whatta cast. I’ve actually never seen Bae Doo-na in anything before but I’ve only ever heard great things. I LOVED Sohn Suk-goo in Mother—he was such a compelling villain and I was hoping to see him in another drama again soon. Lee El is always a delight.

I haven’t seen Saikou no Rikon, but it’s on the list and has been recommended to me many times. Mother was honestly perfect in every single way and is probably the best drama I’ve ever seen, so here’s hoping this one is good as well!

I was pleasantly surprised to see Bae Doona in this since I’m more used to seeing her in the gritty serious roles but I’m so looking forward to this!

I will watch anything with Lee El in it. Love her low, husky voice with strong facial features. I struggled through Hwayugi mostly for her (and have not lived it down). Why couldn’t have she been the female lead there? I’m looking forward to this one.

I feel like Cha Taehyun can match the others. He's not been asked to do much in his other dramas that I've seen (Producers, Big Hit), but I remember having moments where I thought he was really good. In any case, this looks great!

WUT??? a korean remake of Saikou no Rikon???

my favorite J dorama!!! @johnb posted an image on his fanwall recently...

it's a great story, i hope it does well!!!

I loved Saikou no Rikon, and I'm actually really optimistic about this remake given the cast...

Wow, Bae Doo Na with Cha Tae Hyun is so interesting, especially with him not being not-jovial and prickly. Well, if she signed on in the belief that CTH can do it, that's good enough for me.
And always, Lee El ➕➕➕

Oh yeah~ Excited to check it out !

Omg just this year I'm finishing this drama when I was watching Mother to get the glimpse of Yuji Sakamoto work. Now.. Here I will witnessing the korean version. Here is hoping it will be worth it...

If you call a drama The Best Divorce, there's no way I'm not interested.

Also, weren't Bae Doona and Son Suk-gu paired up in Sense8?

Saikou no Rikon is weird fun! I hope the k-version does well because this is such a good cast. I can already see them in their roles. Don't waste it, tvN!

Alternate title: THE BEST SPLIT. ;-)

Great cast! I would literally watch anything for Bae Doona but Best Divorce is actually shaping up to be interesting. I wonder if it will be strange to see Cha Tae-Hyun in a role like this but maybe he was chosen for that reason? Well, so far the casting is brilliant and the writing/directing team seem trustworthy. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

I hope that is is a least as good as Dr Stranger. /s

After the Sense8 finale I said that I wanted to see Bae Doona and Sohn Suk-goo in a k-drama together, but boo, I meant as a pairing. Still, I love Cha Tae Hyun and am interested in seeing him playing against type.

Love the cast, crossing my fingers for a great adaptation !!!!

WHAT a cast indeed.
Plus, it is a remake of my favorite Jromcom of those last few years.
It better be good! But I do trust the Korean cast, to begin with...

Ooh I like this cast. Bae Doona is always great. Sohn Suk Goo was really good and creepy in Mother. And there's something about Lee El that I always find captivating -- both in her roles and her looks. I hope this turns out well.

Sohn Suk Goo and Bae Doo Na in the same kdrama and still not paired together. I can hear a lot of Sun/Mun shipping hearts break... Just like mine did. Sigh...
