Looking ahead to the start of summer 2016, the coveted prime time Wed-Thurs lineup got finalized this week in terms of dramas scheduled. KBS had famed screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee penned Arbitrarily Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy locked into that slot for months now to accommodate the pre-produced project that is intended for simultaneous live-airing in China. MBC announced last month that mystery drama W was going into that time and was courting Lee Jong Seok and Han Hyo Joo to star, two well known and popular stars for sure. On top of that W is from the screenwriter behind Nine: Nine Times Time Travels, Queen In Hyun’s Man, and The Three Musketeers. Now SBS has revealed that it’s scheduling Deal to go up against Arbitrarily Fond and W, with the drama being written by the screenwriter of Secret and Mask who has delivered ratings in the past. June is heating up and I couldn’t be happier.
Arbitrarily Fond is a melodrama about a pair of separated childhood friends who meet up again as adults when he has become a top star and she a PD. W is a fantasy mystery romance about a chaebol and a female doctor in their 30s who live in a different worlds (times?). Deal is about four men faced with betrayal, revenge, and love.

High Profile Dramas????? Stop giving W and Deal false hope and we all know what happened to Comeback Mister even tho it was hilarious and everything.
There won't be any competition here it's done deal
Comeback mister is hardly a high profile drama and almost everybody here predicted it's gonna flop and it DID.
Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Seok yes yes yes!!!
But I am not sure Han Hyo Joo wants to return to dramaland. She is one of those A-list movie actresses.
I don't know about revenge drama which plots saturate the market at the moment..so pass but W sounds AMAZING!! ???
If I have to predict a winner, I'll say W. It's from writer of Nine and QIHM, so quality will definitely be good. Ratings wise too LJS and HHJ are quite big names.
Yeah, W is the only drama that catch my attention. You shouldn't predict that KBS will win like DOTS did.
Wait, if LJS say yes, he is going to compete with his bestfriend.
In their 30s? LJS doesn't look like a 30-something man at all. Hope he will reject it. Please give a manly older man to my lovely HHJ.
That was my first thought to. Well that ljs doesn't look at all like a 30+ year old.
He's only just a couple years removed from playing a teenager a couple of times :p.
Dear HHJ unni, please back to small screen with W, I miss you so much. I have a feeling that W will win in that stupid rating war if both of them are in it.
Totally gonna check W because I trust the writer to deliver quality stuffs, also AF because I'm fond of Lee Kyung Hee's brand of melodrama. Rating wise I'm not sure. Maybe Deal will win considering the writer's previous works
I bet W will win it. Coz, W = win
lol
Hmmm? Is the writer showing slightly anti suzy tendencies cuz it's sure as hell not kbw
