Kim Jae Wook is back in a K-drama! *___* Commence collective freak out and fangirling preparation! Filming has already started for the next K-drama from cable network tvN, taking over the time slot currently occupied by the cute but not terribly compelling Cyrano Dating Agency. Starring Taecyeon and So Yi Hyun, tvN is taking a page from the Hong Sisters playbook for their next drama The Sun of My Master and doing its own version of the “I see dead people” conceit. So Yi Hyun plays a police detective who gains the ability to see ghosts after a car accident which resulted in her being in a coma for six years. After she wakes up, she uses her ability to help those who are deceased get justice or finish what they need to do. Taecyeon plays her detective partner and a man who only believes what he can see therefore doesn’t believe in the supernatural. This is definitely a noona-dongsaeng pairing which has died down a bit in its craze from recent years. So Yi Hyun is very beautiful and doesn’t look old though she definitely looks more sophisticated and mature than Taecyeon. I’m more worried about his acting then the possible lack of chemistry.
Joining this main cast has just been confirmed to be the recently returned from military service Kim Jae Wook. He will be playing So Yi Hyun’s ex-boyfriend, though the ex part is not due to a bad break up but because he’s dead! He actually died in that car accident which put her in the coma and gave her the third eye. After she wakes up and starts seeing ghosts, he returns to her life. What. The. Hell? Kim Jae Wook’s first drama in three years since Marry Me Mary (Mary Stayed Out All Night) and he’s playing a DEAD PERSON?!?! Ahhhhh, epic character fail, drama! How can his hotness not be corporeal? This is like dangling an eucalyptus leaf in front of me and then when I grab it I discover its a hologram. Of course, despite how much I’m raging at this injustice, I will be watching this sucker when it premieres in mid-July. Check out the first script reading stills and a brief video released by the production company of the actual script reading, which includes all three leads cutely introducing themselves. Awww, please don’t suck, drama!
I’m wondering why the drama decided on the exact same name as another K-drama, the Yoon Kye Sang–Go Ara body-switch caper Who Are You. Unless there is a good reason, I think there are plenty of good names out there to mine. Now we’ll always have to make clear which Who Are You is being discussed. Writing will be the scriptwriter who did I Love Lee Tae Ri and Style, while the PD directed Beloved, Daemul, and Harvest Villa.

OMG HE'S BACK!!! Ahhh ill be watching this sucker then, no doubt. Casting looks potentially promising but the writer's previous works leave a lot to be desired...
I had written off this whole show as a train wreck: worn-out premise, sketch writer, screechy heroine, and, in the lead, my least favorite talentless non-acting idol.
The drama gods are cruel and capricious! Now I am going to at least check it out, because it's KJW's post-army project. How can I fast-forward through everyone but him?
How can Kim Jae Wook be 2nd lead to Taecyeon?? And i suppose he doesn't get the girl again this time.
That's what I was thinking too.
Sad.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I mean Taecyeon was cutely handsome in Cinderella Sister and hot in a Zach Efron kind of way in Dream High, but unless he has spent some time at Juliard's acting school before 2PM's release of its new cd, I just do not believe that he will not be swallowed up by the unadulturated smexy intensity of Kim Jae Wook.
That's the thing...
They are both handsome, but KJW is one of those that you end up staring at – he has that kind of aura (he can totally model precisely because of that).
That, and the fact that he's going to outact Taecyeon.
I also dont understand why KJW is the second lead. He is thousand time better that Taecyeon. Geezzz idol really get their previledge in kdrama. This really annoys me.
Seriously, I don't have problems with idols who can act but Taecyeon is NOT one of them, and Kim Jae Wook is far too good an actor to be playing second lead to him.
(and whoever thought it was a good idea to cast Taecyeon as lead in anything is deluded)
love so yi hyun since alice....
Hope it will be good
I don't know if you checked out the currently airing k-drama I hear Your Voice or if it fell off your radar. But so far it is my gem of year, four episodes in. The first episode won my heart. You should give it a chance, I think you would be pleased. I especially love the mother daughter scenes, the mother in my book won best korean drama mother. The most understanding and loving parent ever in a drama in my book. One scene, she propose her daughter to go on a blind date, but when her daughter says no and that she is marry to her work, her mom doesn't push it further, and even the daughter was surprised. I never seen a drama parent like this. Most of the characters in the show is well fleshed out.
I back the rec for I hear Your Voice - I went in knowing nothing about it besides that it stars Lee Jong Suk, but it's my favourite thing on network tv right now.
I was ify about this before but now I'm 100% on board ... but why why why another second lead ugh
I was all ready to skip this, but then I read KJW and now, I'm wavering...But I have to ask the same question you did. Why second lead? Why?
both the male leads look so younger than So Yi Hyun.....
Mmmm., I had to go google.. So yeah Taec is 24, she's 28, Kim Jae Wook is 30. There's really not that big of an age gap..
So, he's the same age as Star Boy Seol Chan(the actor) except taecyeon has 3 years under his belt after his drama debut and still sucks more than Yong Joon-Hyung. And at least Yong Joon- Hyung can display some emotion; taecyeon just looks like he's trying to remember his lines, so how he can even get the emotion across beats me. You obviously see those wheels turning in his head in every scene.
I don't remember who made the commentary but i think it was JB who said he's going to be another Song Seung-heon. And i laugh, because it's s true.
Still early but maybe the boy will improve.
Is Kim Jae Wook channeling Jonny Depp? TvN has not let me down yet. So I'm hoping for cute, cute, cute.
all are My love MGY co-stars :)
Fighting!
Love this cast! But can't those two guys switch characters?! Now that would make my day! I like Taecyeon but not confident in his acting skills... Kim jae wook on the other hand is the whole package <3
OMG... Kim Jae Wook is back! T-T How I missed him! .>
