Okay, let’s do some math here, even though I suuuuuuck at math. Just so you know, the irony of being an Asian who can’t do math has haunted me my entire life. Arang and the Magistrate has aired 16 episodes and has 4 more left. Including this week, it’s wrapping up next week on October 18th. Its follow up drama Missing You was supposed to air the week after that on October 24th, which would mean MY is less than THREE WEEKS away from premiering and finally today there is confirmation of a leading lady in Yoon Eun Hye. Despite finally having a leading lady, today MBC realized it was about to face an unprecedented disaster of epic proportions and announced that it will be airing a two-episode drama special the week after Arang ends, allowing MY to gain an extra week of filming and premiere on October 31st. Great way to celebrate Halloween, peeps. With that said, even with the extra week, that still leaves MY with less than four weeks left before going on air and just getting a leading lady now is so late it boggles my mind.
The rumor mills grinded through Son Ye Jin, Yoon Eun Hye, Gu Hye Sun, and Lee Min Jung, before turning back around and having Yoon Eun Hye accept. I’ve already expressed my personal opinion on the pairing of Yoochun (who I am lukewarm towards) with Eun Hye (who I loveloveloveloveLOVE). I worry more about this production actually than the pairing, because I think both of them manage to do well on the chemistry department. I just want to give a friendly bit of advice to all the fans of either star to not say anything that can be misconstrued and inadvertently ignite a fan war before this drama has even aired. I’m sure if the drama doesn’t do well in ratings the fingers will start being pointed every which way, so let’s not start prematurely just yet. I think Nice Guy will break 20 in ratings this week, if not next, and it’ll be an uphill battle for MY from the start. On a more hopeful not, every little tidbit of Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun as the younger OTP incarnation is pure LOVE.

:-) ..... and ... <3 <3 <3 ... TOTALLY DREAM COME TRUE
ME TOO!! I couldnt stop smiling on my way to work because of this.. people on the train think Im crazy
same thing happen to me so funny kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Eeek! I'm torn between being happy to see lovely Yoon Eun-hye back on my screen so son, and worrying that this drama might tank and take her down with it. That is really not enough time.
The storyline too - it's the kind of plot that gets boring and repetitive very quickly unless it's in the hands of a skilled writer, so here's hoping for someone good.
I'm not optimistic, but crossing my fingers for a pleasant surprise...
Same here. Will YEH EVER learn to pick good projects? I have a really really bad feeling about this drama. I adore YEH, but to really shine she needs a good producer, director, writer and costars - in short, a highly skilled team. This one is not it. My hopes for another Coffee Prince are dwindling into nothing...
But the drama does boast a great set of director (Thank You which is a melo i fried buckets) and writer (can you hear my heart and smile you which is very warm and family oriented). So i have faith in the production. For me the biggest problem is Nice Guy is a strong competitor and MBC suck at ratings. Period
I worry about the production, too. But totally excited for Kim So Hyun and Yeo Jin Gu. I'm just hoping that they've at least started filming their parts and maybe extend it to for longer eps? Although that might also not be a good idea bec then I'll get so attached the child actors.
I'm with you on Yoochun, he just doesn't have enough charisma and oomph for me as a leading man. I'm afraid Yeo Jin Gu's performance will set the bar too high. As for YEH, I can only wish her all the best. To come in to this 3 weeks prior to airing...yikes. Talk about last minute.
Not that I'm blaming YEH at all. It's just unfortunate that she will have so little time to prepare.
I think she already accepted it long ago but just reveal it now. So I don't think she coming in late. They told us now doesn't mean she just accepts it, right? So if they start film it soon. They will have more time before facing the problem of live shooting coz I heard that the child actors will be shown in 4 eps plus that special drama they will have at least 3 weeks advance.
Not that I will watch it though. I'm not a fan of these two and first love story in not my type. But I like YEH enough to curious about her next project and want to wish her well and success.
I'm relieved that they finally confirmed YEH as the leading actress. I believe they will rock in their respective character and I don't doubt their chemistry.
The plot seems to be repetitive; but it's in the hand of CYHMH writer, so I have high expectation for this drama to be mind blowing in a positive way.
But Nice Guy is already rocking my world and has brought enough angst in my life; I don't think I can take another melodrama during and after NG ends. So I think I will wait until MY finishes airing before I can sit down and marathon it.
This drama has one of the best casts and PD & writer, good luck MY casts & crew!
Oh is there any news about the 2nd leading actor?
OMG.....finally it's confirmed.....
I become PYC fan after RTP & after long time only become KJH's fan.
and Right now....I'm sooo happpy, hehehe.....
I love the pairing.....although I am Hwan Hye shipper
& we'll see ChunHye chemistry......
woo hoo..,i can't wait for YEH upcoming drama, i hope to "the Best" for YEH!
Finally, a drama for YEH. I have no problem with the actor, keeping an open mind. Hope they surprise me in a good way. . .
I'm not that worried with the filming yet because he first 4 episodes will be the child actors, so the adults will have two more weeks..... But Yoon Eun Hye has been crazy busy lately and it will not stop. She is involved with charities, has that directorial film nominated at the BIFF, and she will be a special judge at the AISFF in November.... Plus she's been sick lately....
But I am ecstatic that she's back!!! Wishing both leads and the drama a successful run!!
BLEH! YOON EUN HYE? BLEHHH!
Sour graping? Toxic for your system.
when can ever some people have better thoughts and attitude as first reaction to anything.sad so sad!
YEH work so hard on everything that she's been given.GIVE HER A BREAK!
by the way the script for MY or IMY was in YEH's hand for a while and i am sure she knows the characters like the back of her hand.YEH was not the last minute replacement
it just took her awhile to fall in love with her character and the story.
GOOD LUCK YOON EUN HYE.OUR BEST TO YOU.GOD BLESS YOU.
momche
Does that mean that LMJ will take JW's drama? Oh I hope so!!
Always thought YEH was perfect for this. Glad she took it. Not sure about the drama itself but I believe it's a great chance for her to prove herself once again.
"Uphill climb" is a very kind understatement. Though NG isn't a favorite, it's hard to turn your eyes away, just out of complete appreciation for SJK's performance.
Either way, I say, Good luck, MY!!! I'm definitely going to watch for the kids and now with YEH joining, I will cheer her on!
