First Look at the Cast Script Reading for The Time I Loved You, 7000 Days

The SBS weekend fare continues to reside in the ratings crapper, with the currently airing Divorce Lawyers in Love not winning in any love from the audience. The network is bringing in the big guns next with the K-drama remake of TW-drama In Time With You. Starring Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook, the two veterans couple up for the first time onscreen to play best friends through 20 years with him nursing a long standing crush on the other than finally gets reciprocated after she suffers one bad relationship too many and sees him in a new light.

The cast of The Time I Loved You, 7000 Days gathered for a script reading last week and filming already commenced over the weekend. The script reading pictures, aside from a sneak peek at Ha Ji Won with her bitch face ready for the character and Lee Jin Wook all beaming warm smiles just like his character, is a veritable who’s who reunion from the cast of Pinocchio. Yoon Kyun Sang, Lee Joo Seung, Jin Kyung, Shin Jung Geun, the only thing missing is expecting Ha Myung and In Ha to pop out in a cameo. I love this cast, there might actually be a chance I like this version once the original story is given a fresh new set of clothes.

  • Yeah, as much as I like Ha Ji Won, I'm not looking forward to 19 and a half hours of her resting bitch face. (Why can't she do another character like Gil Ra Im?)

    • I hated Gil Ra Im with a passion so I'm glad she's not taking on another role. One of the weakest female lead she's ever played.

      I rather resting bitch face like Hwang Jin Yi then Gil Ra Im's passiveness.

  • not watching this... nobody else can be li da ren like chen bolin <3 and you qing was only forgiveable and likeable because of Ariel lin's charm. I wouldn't mind watching HJW and LJW in a drama together but not in a remake of something I loved. there's a reason why I never watched mischievious kiss- I'd already seen it started with a kiss and I didn't want to see a version that would maybe taint my love for that story.

  • Looking forward for this drama. Other than that, i'm enjoying Divorce Lawyer In Love. :)

    • It is a very fun, relaxing drama to watch with lots of chemistry. The cast was very well put together. I really wonder why it is not doing well in Korea?

      • right? as i mentioned here below, it's not that bad.i just hope it won't be like birth of a beauty who started out well but became a wreck from the middle to the end.

        everybody bashed the female lead for her character but i saw worse than her. at least she's standing on her own and is not a wet blanket.
        yeon woo jin is one big plus here and the second lead is charming as well. overall very nice drama, for those who search for a light thing to watch and not too committing.

  • This is already a lot less like the original and I'm not a huge fan of the pd here, and even if they got a good PD they would be no Winnie Qu. I like the cast so I might just watch this for its own merit.

  • I never watched the original hence I'm pretty much open about this. However at first I ecstatic that Lee Jin Wook been casted because he has this sizzling chemistry when he is rom comn and has a very soulful eyes. However when I saw the video of Rain and HJW I really can see their impeccable chemistry and their suitable casting with each other. I want them to be the couple and I believe Rain can pull a rom com+angsty like no other if given good script. But since it has been this way let see what they can bring together. It have come across that the original has lots of steamy scenes perhaps that the reasons Rain rejected and LJW is considered since we knew how he is in INR 2.

    • The original was a tease that didn't give us ANY steamy scenes between the leads. There was a scene with her dickhead ex mid way through.

      Rain rejected it cos it clashed with his schedule, he should have taken this on since HJW seems to guarantee ratings.

      Her Empress Ki pushed 3 2nd/3rd leads into 1st lead status. Ji Chang Wook went on to lead in Healer, Beak Jin Hee in Triangle and Jin Ji Han in Secret Hotel.

      I wished I didn't watch ITWY so that I can watch this with a fresh eye, cos what I know about it so far already has me fuming.

  • Only watching this for Ha Ji Won. The writers have already screwed up the script and characters. Argh! FYI I had I no problem with You Qing's character. She was a strong minded woman. People call her a bitch but it was Da Ren who never had the guts to tell her how he felt. Can't expect her to know his feelings or reciprocate anything for a guy who played on her insecurities as a girl by saying he would never love her. She got a bit annoying but he wasn't any better if you look at the whole picture.

    • I actually really like You Qing, thought she was very different to other characters out there, she can be annoying with her self importance and lack of understanding to other people, she does take things for granted a lot but she learns and grows and unfortunately some people needs to learn the hard way.

      It also gave us one of the best scenes ever in cinema, when the annoying ex girlfriend put her down(rightly so) and called her out on her and Da Ren's selfishness.

  • Looking forward to seeing this one and how it compares. I wasn't in love with the original as seems to be th case with me and most popular tw dramas. I love Winnie and Ariel and bolin but somehow the combo didn't electrify me - mainly due to the storyline. I agree it's my issue with bolin' character that drove me crazy. So I hope that the Korean version will give me a new appreciation for the story.

    divorce lawyers in love - I am watching it and I find it inoffensive with my low expectations of it. There is a certain wow factor that is definitely missing. In 8 episodes, I don't feel quite how the otp falls for each other. Usually it's intense like or dislike for a coupling but this is just meh. Maybe it will pick up.

  • I really loved Time With You ! I don't think that the main girl was a bitch, I really liked this character.

    • I agree with you. I didn't see her like that at all. She was a career woman but other than being strong willed at work; how does that translate into being a b**ch?

      • Right? Not all women should be complacent and weak minded. She had her faults but she wasn't exactly a bitch. It's not like Da Ren ever said anything or made a move. He also dated other people.

      • I liked Chen You Qing as a character, too. I don't think she was a bitch. She was a modern career woman with a backbone. She's not the typical wimp often portrayed in K-dramas.
