Signs are piling on one after another that all point to one thing – Lee Jong Seok is likely coming back with the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs thriller drama Remember. If it doesn’t pan out then it’ll be due to him turning down the offer, but drama insiders are all saying that he’s the one SBS is courting to headline the drama, which got fast-tracked in production due to Goodbye Mr. Black falling off a cliff and the post The Village time slot needing a drama pronto. Remember is the drama of a genius lawyer with some sort of memory problems who needs to exonerate his falsely accused dad of a crime.
Right now Remember is slated to premiere the first week of December after The Village wraps up its run, and with a very underwhelming first week ratings SBS will be even more keen to get a lead for Remember who has been a ratings guarantee for the network. Lee Jong Seok’s agency said last month in September that he was reviewing scripts and was likely to comeback with a drama soon, and Remember being a SBS drama shortly to start filming makes it the most likely project. Even more interesting are the child actors who have just been cast in the Remember flashback portions all starting to follow Lee Jong Seok on SNS.
I didn’t want to make this just a Lee Jong Seok maybe doing a drama post without any additional goodies. I realized that I’ve had this Esquire Korea spread he did from this past April in my folder and never got around to posting about it, so here’s some oldies but goodies for Jong Seok-ie fans to enjoy!

Hell Yeah. This sounds perfect for him.
as i expected, he will make a comeback in dramaland after that news. well, good luck for you jong suk.
Will we ever know why goodbye Mr black fell off the cliff?
I know, right? As much as I love Lee Jong Seok, I can't really be happy about this, since I was looking sooooo forward to GMB. It was like a really cruel joke to line up the cast so perfectly with such a great story and then say, GOTCHA! Not gonna happen, suckers!
I think the reason why they dropped Goodbye Mr Black was because of disagreements between the production company and SBS, but they never said on what exactly they disagreed on.
I hope to god this drama produced on rush order is not one liveshoot mess. Meanwhile I will create stories in my head *ing MCW and LJW.
so dissappointed because of goodbye mr black couldn't get timeslot, i lost interest in this drama if ljs in this drama, it's not because i don't like him,i like him in school 2013 n i hear your voice but i really couldn't take him seriously in serious drama like this

It's about time for him to do another project, it has been nearly a year since his last drama. This one sounds promising but I think I'll will need more info before I judge it. But I miss him so much and I trust his ability to pick good scripts, so I hope he will be back soon.
Nooooo..... I want Goodbye Mr Black.
Who will be the female lead?
