• This is awkward why is she targetting Park Ji-eun's deadline. lool talk about being slightly disrespectful towards your competition

• Drama Gods, please let his co-star NOT be an idol!! I really really hope it doesn't end up that way. I would love it if it were him and Yoon Eun Hye or Kim Sun Ah. Both these women make great co-stars and he has awesome chemistry with both!! :D But on another note, Gong Yoo is returning to dramaland!!! This right here made my day :D

  • Kim Sun Ah had no chemistry with Joo Sang Wook in Masked Prosecutor and not much with Hyun Bin either....she is better for drama not romance....Goon Yoo is great at kissing, romance and comedy though

• Ugh

• This will go directly against Park Jieun's drama with Jun Jihyun and Lee Minho lol *popcorn ready*

• If this drama is going against Park Ji Eun's , me thinking KES probably will cast someone that at least at Jeon Ji-hyun's popularity level (if she accepts the role).

  • someone = female lead

  • You have someone in mind? I'm just curious, cause I can't think of anyone of Jun Ji Hyun's caliber to be honest. Maybe Song Hye Kyo or Ha Ji Won, I really don't know..

    • Can't think of anyone either. Just my random thought.

    • Uh, Lee Young Ae.

  • Maybe Soo-Ae???

• yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! I'm so happy!!! :D

• I have a bad feeling about this drama, too rushed, and I like Gong yoo, but he doesn't have the looks or charisma of SJK, LMH or KSH to propel him into Hallyu stardom, he won't hit home with the younger generation, perhaps only the older ajjumas in Korea.

  • I disagree, Gong Yoo is very charismatic. I am worried because for me KES is love it or HATE it.

  • Haha, what? His charisma on Coffee Prince impressed me enough to make me follow his career for almost a decade....he is definitely on par with SJK and leaps better than LMH (who needs to choose better roles if he wants to grow as an actor).

    • @chi really lmh should grow as an actor so he has been playing and having fun all this while wow and that what really make him viewers darling common if u want to comment about favourite do that without bashing other actors

    • "...leaps better than LMH." Are you referring to action scenes? LMH is pretty cool at action dramas such as City Hunter and Faith. Different people have different tastes for drama genres and acting styles. It's most likely just your personal preference that you don't like LMH.

    • lmh is the peoples actor

    • So you can see who is rated

    • @Kalun "lmh is the people's actor" aah no stop being delulu LMH is not even that popular in Korea. He might be popular overseas but mostly due to the fact that he is considered handsome and people like you who only look at beauty and not talent.

    • What lmh has alot of following in Korea. his everywhere due to his acting. It's about taste and lmh has been flying and selling his things as best as possible and you just can't hold that against a guy and say otherwise. all is there to be seen the rest means nothing

  • It seems like it rushed, but it's not. Remember Descendants of the Sun was pre-produced, so Kim Eun Sook has had a half year to come up with something.

  • ...excuse me? He clearly doesn't hit home with you, but there are plenty of members of the younger generation who would disagree with you. I'm 23 and I'm still just as in love with Gong Yoo as when I watched him in Coffee Prince at 15. I love Song Joong-ki too and think he has the charisma and skills to rival him, but I'd still pick Gong Yoo any day.

  • i got your point. and i slightly have a bad feeling too. bcuz i love all KES dramas except city hall. i just hope, this drama would be in my fave list too, instead accompanying city hall in my meh list. this is my preference, hehe.. no offense to city hall lover.

    i just hope, PD will find a good actress for him. an actress who has a great rating history. cuz, this drama would battle Jun Ji Hyun's drama.

    i seriously consider ha ji won despite her lackbuster drama with Lee Jin Wook, but she has the history. who else? han hyo joo? aaaahh... as a fan of KES writernim, i hope this drama also be a hit just like her previous.. fighting!

  • "Older ajhumas", "no looks nor charisma" and Gong Yoo all in the same sentence? WTF..? So random, so rude, so farfetched, so NOT true, so... I'm out of adjectives here.
    You either have very limited experience in K-ent or you're just trolling. Either way, weird "fangirls" such as yourself are one of the major reasons the rest of us can't have lots of TV-projects with good acting. Let actors act, fcol!!

• You have to bare in mind that Mr.Sunshine will be airing on tvN.... a cable channel the ratings will never be as high as a standard channel. It'll probably break cable channel viewings but will it be a rival to KBS/SBS/MBC?? I'm not so sure...
  Either way I can't wait for Gong Yoo to comeback in a drama! I love how word is still going around about actors passing on Yoo Shi Jin role.... I still think Kim Eun Sook tailor wrote it for Song Joong ki

  • "..tailor wrote it for Song Joong Ki.."

    Gosh..I thought the same thing too! :)

  • It's true unless the chief producer (CEO of NEW)did not tell the whole story on his interveiw that SJK wasn't originally considered for the male lead of DotS. It was said that (not verified, however) four actors including Gong Yoo, Won Bin, Jo In Sung, and Kim Woo Bin were offered the role but all of them turned down. Then SJK showed a lot interest in the script and actively pursued the casting opportunity. Therefore KES revised the script to tailor to SJK.

    You can say either SJK was lucky or he's really talented so that writers liked him a lot to sorta customize their scripts for him. This also happened to Nice Guy writer.

    • Frankly, I think that Gong Yoo, Won Bin or Jo In Sung would have fitted the persona of a hardened Special Forces soldier better than SJK, although he did a charming job of it.

    • Don't know. Hard to say. Yup! These three veterans looked more masculine by appearance. But SJK has his own charm. DotS may not have ended up a huge hit if another actor had taken his place.

• I am disappointed (this from someone who LOVED dots - I consider it an anomaly) I guess, we'll wait and see.

• ehh i kind of prefer the previous rumored? title 'Demon'; did the genre change too? either way yay for Gong Yoo ^^
