I’m so relieved and optimistic about Rain‘s upcoming drama, despite the a bit of casting go-around and plenty of drama name changes. The drama is now called Please Come Back, Ahjussi, after starting off with Goodbye My Beloved One and recently trying out Hello My Precious. The full cast has now been fully confirmed, with Rain headlining along with Oh Yeon Seo, Lee Min Jung, Kim Soo Ro, Honey Lee, Yoon Park, Ra Min Ran, and Park Chul Min.
Come Back Ahjusshi is about Kim Soo Ro’s middle aged workaholic manager who dies unexpectedly and get a second chance to come back in the body of another to finish his unfinished affairs. It’s based on a Japanese novel that’s been adapted into a J-dorama once, and in this go around the K-drama adaptation will be directed by PD Shin Yoon Sub who helmed Ugly Alert and Rooftop Prince. Script reading will take place next week with filming commencing immediately as the drama has gotten the Wed-Thurs time slot on SBS following Remember.
Please Come Back Ahjusshi won’t only be Rain’s comeback drama, it will also be Lee Min Jung’s first drama since Sly and Single Again. Whereas leading lady Oh Yeon Seo has been on TV quite a lot in the last two years in well-received dramas, but this will mark her first SBS drama. I like this casting, honestly anything is better than the wacky casting of My Lovely Girl. It could have worked if Rain was paired up with an older actress than Krystal, or if the drama was about Krystal and L‘s younger idol romance. Smushing the two disparate elements together resulted in bizarro K-drama acting and storytelling. I’ve much better hopes for Please Come Back Ahjusshi. Hopefully the domestic audience will receive it better now that Rain seems to be slowly easing back to their good graces.

Lol maybe I am the only one who liked "my lovely girl",though the script was slow but krystal and rain totally made it work for me.Also dint get the hype with L and krystal.There are do many more dramas where scripts are diasyers.. ut they still get some lauding.Anyway hope here Lee min jung is the main lead rather than OYS.
*so many more dramas where the scripts are disasters.Sorry for the typo.
I hope LMJ is the lead too.
scriptwriting?
i thought it should be script reading?
I don't understand the age thing. Some coupling does pretty well despite the huge age gap, I can't think of an exemple other than Lee Seung Gi/Ha Ji Won, SHE was the older partner but they made it work. For MLG, the script was all over the place, Rain deserve better than that train wreck, and Krystal is not female lead material yet, girl doesn't even have much facial expession irl, she's just -_- all the time. Ofc, there's room for improvement.
Anyway, this drama sounds interesting, I'll keep an eye on it. So Oh Yeon Seo IS the lead, since she plays the ahjusshi who has work to finish. Sounds fun.
I wish securing a good writer was as important as securing a good/interesting cast. I know the norm in the entertainment industry is to focus attention on the face of the production but kdramas need to require higher standards for writers.
I like oh yeon so ever since shine or go crazy ,one of my favorite this year ,so glad the cast upgraded to her ,so I'll try it out ,I never saw rain in anything so this will be new
Upgrade indeed :) You can catch rain on Korea (Full house) loved him in that.
Well i do like this cast so maybe i'll peek on the first episodes..hope this will be good..haven't watched nothing of him except full house. more than that, i like better his 2 leading ladies.
I hope oh yeon seo is the lead. She showed some good acting but lee min jung...
just watch. once the drama flop. RIAN fangirl going to blame OYO/LMJ.
Who is RIAN?
try googling korean Rain...lol
So sad about Kim Min-Jung having joined this drama. What a mediocre actress that never adds anything of value.
