I hope viewers aren’t writing off Big Man before it premieres. It’d be a shame to arrive DOA to do a myriad of factors – the lackluster lead-in from Full Sun, the two week break between Full Sun ending and Big Man starting to avoid an Empress Ki head-to-head, and the really wonky birth secret to steal a heart set up. I confess my love for Kang Ji Hwan completely counterbalances all the warning signs that this drama might be awful. That and a very vivid memory of how awful every preview and promotional material was for The King 2 Hearts and that baby turned out to be so awesome I still miss it in my sleep. I do like the two new drama posters better than the first two, it’s still not groundbreaking but at least it doesn’t immediately call to mind comparisons to other posters. I never thought Kang Ji Hwan and Jung So Min would be doing a drama together so there is no way in hell I’m going to miss it. They are parts of two of my favorite drama OTPs of all time – Kang Ji Hwan with Yoon Eun Hye in Lie to Me and Jung So Min with Kim Hyun Joong in Playful Kiss – and Eun Hye and Hyun Joong have already worked together on those early day Basic House ad campaigns it’s only fair Ji Hwan and So MIn get a twirl around to block to see if they have onscreen chemistry to burn as well. I also like Lee Da Hee and Daniel Choi well enough, so if it’s a main cast of two loves and two likes I’ve already felt like I hit the casting jackpot. The third teaser is out for the drama and I like it better than the first two. It has a more consistent feel even if it’s still bizarre that the story revolves around a chaebol family claiming orphan Kang Ji Hwan is their long-lost son in order to get him lined up for organ donation for their real son Daniel Choi who is suffering from heart failure. It’s a massive con for sure, but also one that screams impossible. Oh wells, I’m in it for the rich spoiled heiress Jung So Min falling for her fake newly acquired oppa Kang Ji Hwan. Can they be the OTP, pretty please drama gods?

Thanks!
Just now I realized that Jung So Min is in this, too! Kang Ji Hwan is a very good reason to watch it. The story not so. I'm happy with your comparison to TK2H, which I loved to the core. So,I was considering to pass on this until it's finshed... but now I may not be able to resist to peek on it... and probably not be able to stay away. Otoke? Please, be good
Hoping it will be as good as The King 2 Hearts and that Koala will like it enough to do recaps on this drama for us fans of the actors.
Wow! Jung So Min looks like Selena Gomez soooo much in the picture above, and i liked her in playful kiss, so i will watch the first 4 episodes to see if it's good. *Please be good*
Jung So Min's hairstyle reminds me of Jung Ryeo Won from History of the Salaryman.
Even though everything about this drama tells me I wouldn't like it, I do have faith in Jung So Min's choices.
I'll give it a chance at least.
This week my current addictions didn't air any episodes... "Cunning Single Lady" and "Hotel King".
I'll check this out. But koala I am desperately missing xiang lu. Been refreshing like crazy.
