Oh my freaking bejeebus! Before I get to the casting talk about Timeslip Dr. Jin, I have to first announce this new piece of information I gleaned. Apparently the good Dr. Jin will be written by two screenwriters, one of whom did Road No. 1, and the other did Spy Myung Wol. No, I am not joking and this is not some sick prank. Two of the worst dramas to come out of the Korea in the last 3 years, and those two writers are going to put their itty bitty creativity together and spit out a time-traveling drama based on a mega-popular Japanese version? My head is definitely spinning. I hope Park Min Young knows what she’s doing since today she just confirmed that she will be joining the cast. Still no word on Kim So Yeon, but Park Min Young will be playing the lead actress, and she has two roles. One is as Dr. Jin Hyuk’s (Song Seung Heon) surgeon girlfriend in the modern era, and the other is a Joseon young lady from a well-to-do family.
It’s never say never when it comes to co-star chemistry. I had beyond high hopes for Cha Seung Won and Gong Hyo Jin before Best Love and they ended up fizzling due to lack of compatibility in acting styles. I had zero hopes for Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won before The King 2 Hearts and right now they own my heart, soul, and typing fingers. Park Min Young usually has good-to-great chemistry with all her male co-stars, but Song Seung Heon is super hit-and-miss. Hands down his best leading lady is Kim Tae Hee, but I’m not sure he can recreate that magic with Park Min Young. For some reason, I think Park Min Young will have cute chemistry with Jaejoong, as opposed to slightly ahjusshi-esque vibe with Song Seung Heon. Right now the drama has a little over a month before its premiere date, and it hasn’t started filming. AT ALL. A Gentleman’s Dignity is into its third week of filming. I swear Timeslip Dr. Jin will either be a spectacular failure or somehow come together seamlessly as to make all the doubters eat their doubty words.

oh dear! She is just so meh~ This news totally ruined all the interest I had in this drama...i just hope there SSH n Jaejoong bromance! Now that will make it super amazing! But I guess i will go for Gentleman's dignity ^^
Agree with you 100 % .. she is an average actress and the drama turn out great because of her male leads like in SKKS & City Hunter. In this case if i watch is for Jae Joong and Song SH..
I have to agree. She's a serviceable actress...nothing memorable. I hope the other actress mentioned does not go sign on....She's a lead actress and not this girl so why lower herself.
Having loved the Jdrama, I don't even want to see how they mutilate this to make it a kdrama with all of its ridiculous tropes.

I doubt I'll be eating my words on this one Ockoala. :) The original cannot be outdone.
I thought she is playing his little sister in the modern era and a nobleman's daughter in the past. I haven't read anything about her being his girlfriend in the modern era. Anyways, I like her as a person but personally I find her to be a very poor to mediocre actress with limited range so with her addition and the writing team news I am definitely out for this one even if it has one of my Kpop biases Jaejoong and owner of my pretty actor soft spot Song Seung and favorite funny man Lee Beom Soo . Plus it's a crime to the art of acting to even attempt to cast Kim So Yeon to second lead status to park min young, a crime. Its one thing to have a weak lead, but two week leads with really talented second leads. Yeah I smell train wreck from a mile away.
I totally agree. Never good when the two 2nd leads surpass the main leads in talents and not just by little too, it's by alot. I actually hope Kim So Yeon takes another project where she can lead it. A real saejuk isn't bad considering she has really been in one before.
I love PMY ever since in SSK and definitely in Man Of honor, but not so much in City Hunter. I really want to see her in another drama that can actually challenge her in acting, so looking forward to see this drama because of her.
I read Kim So Yeon's out?
Now only reason to watch is Lee Bum Soo.
Not surprised. With Kim So Yeons ability and current successes, it would be an insult to take second lead o PMY. Song Seung Heon is also mediocre but his status as longtime A-lister warrants the first lead and even though lee bum Soo is amazing and has done really well in recent years Song Seung Heon is the bigger name.
Actually if her supposed role is the same as the jdorama counterparts, there is nothing to be insulted for. Nakatani miki aced her role. It was the opposite of ayase haruka's calm strong willed character. It is the perfect role for a meaty actress.
ya. but PMY's company made a lot of changes to the characters, so if KSY takes the part, her part will be reduced a lot compared with the japanese version
Thank Goodness...I like Park Min Young but Kim So yeon is my personal favorite and way more talented than PMY....casting her as second lead would be a terrible shame
I guessed this will be very very loosely based on the original or just use the name because the original is so popular? if KSY sign on... she will be the second lead then? It's so wrong, I am so confused... KSY's charactor supposed to be Miki.... so in the k-version... it mashes up miki and ayase's charactor from the original and give it to PMY? I know the KSY would rock any role that is given to her but as second lead... kind of insulting...
in the original, i think both miki and ayase's charactor are 1st lead... they shared fair amount of screen time equally... may be a little more for ayase then miki.. but miki's charactor has much more depth and the actual connection with Dr Jin in the past and present time...
i love the original and from the way the story of this version is going... i will have to pass this one especially they mess around with miki... that's just so wrong... unless KSY is really sign on... then i will check it out just for her....
Hmmm~ But eeey. Spy MyUng Wol had like, what, 20 writers? ;) So I'm crossing my fingers on this one and hoping this person was one of the best on that team. But this did make me wide awake at 12am. Road No. 1 was hella cheesy. But I guess you cannot escape the cheese wherever Song Seung Hun appears. I wonder how big of a role Jaejoong will play. It woould be cute if he did romance Park Min Young.
I honestly like Park Minyoung's acting. She has this cutesy yet down to earth kind a feel for me. Everything about this drama is luring me in. If it's only heading for trainwreck, heck I'd still board it. I never learn, but that's the fun part. Never skip out a drama unless it has Yoona in it. <- New found motto.
They are looking to have KSY play second lead to PMY? That's just wrong on sooo many levels. I'm thinking I'll save time and bail now.
Lie to Me was not liked by many but I loved it and I also loved Spy MyUngWol so I'm not going to predict that this will be a disaster. I'm looking forward to it and if I get disappointed well, so be it.
Well, so long as I get to see Song Seung Heon shirtless at least once per an episode I'm willing to be more forgiving.
...But ugh. Spy Myung Wol? That drama was SO BAD I cannot even... I hope bad x bad = good somehow...
You know? Like negative x negative = positive?
Right?
Hm.....so the k-ver of Saki and Miki are somehow played by the same girl? That's gotta take a lot of tension out of the 'love triangle'....
Yup, k version appears to have Saki being Miki's historical counterpart, as opposed to Nokaze being Miki's historical counterpart. Which is all sorts of weird to me.
I am so upset at this point.... how can they mess around with Miki... and mashes both part of saki and part of miki together and give it to PMY... i can see her as saki.. but not miki... I was so looking forward to KSY to rock the role of Miki...
Darn. I was hoping that PMY would play Saki and KSY would play Nokaze/Miki. I don't like the fact that they're integrating Saki and Nokaze at ALL. D:
The role that is supposed for KSY is not a side role. The geisha role in the Jin dorama was a center pivotal role. It needs a strong actress to play it.
The whole pre-production sounds messy. I will be bitter if they mess this drama,considering how awesome Jin was.
