Lee Jong Seok and Suzy Offered Leads in Pinocchio Writer’s 2017 Fantasy Drama While You Were Sleeping

View Comments

• Is the male lead a prosecutor or an aerospace engineer? Both seems good, but prosecutor theme have done so many times in k-drama history. I personally want the male lead to be aerospace engineer.

  • @Cassy

    at least there will no more complain that he did not have "engineer aura" comment LOL

    he finally getting promotion, from assistant prosescutor in Prosecutor Princess to Prosecutor himself.Congrats Jongsuk XDXDXD

    • kkekeke ??

    • Good riddance of engineer character. Drama God must have sent drama angel to deliver my message to the writer. LMAO

  • I know right? I was hoping for aerospace engineer too. I don't remember watching a single Kdrama like that. I would really like something different like that. There are too many doctors, lawyers, chaebols and police series.

• I just wish LJS won't be a sacrifice this time after KWB. LJS has already suffered extra hard for an untalented female lead in doctor stranger. Poor LJS

• Sounds like the female lead will spend half the drama sleeping & dreaming.... LOL.... I am fine with Suzy as long as she does not scream & yell... She was ok in the last two episodes of UF. Hope her acting will improve.

• YASSSSS for the good news. LJS is confirmed but I hope Suzy reject the offer. Knets and Inetz seem to be in-sync on this: Suzy just can't ACT!!
  I hope she read the comments and rejects it. It's obvious acting is not her best forte. Please stick to singing and CF.

• Lee Jong Seok has confirmed for the role. He is officially Park Hye Ryun's muse.
  If Suzy confirmed, things may not turn out so pretty for LJS' clean streak when come to starring in good potentially hit dramas.

  • But most of his co-stars were in acting controversies , Jin se yeon, Han hyo joo, park shin hye ( I completely remember under the news of their casting, the second comment with around 5000 or 6000 upvotes were "but her acting is...")and now Suzy...
    his best co-star were Lee bo young IMO.

    • Truly nothing against the actresses that I mentioned, my comment was just the fact that I read in comment sections in the past three years.

    • Aside from Jin Se Yeon, the rest can act.
      I have no hate towards Suzy but she was quite bad in UF. I thought she was ok in Dream High because it was her debut performance but until now, she has not improved much.
      Idk if LJS could worked some miracle as he did with "Doctor Stranger", having Suzy as his lead actress is a liability.

    • Park shin hye never have an acting controversy among knetz,it is always inetz

    • Before ihyv, lee boyoung also have acting controversie

    • Before IHYV, LBY acted in My Daughter Seo Young which was a bigger hit than IHYV.
      Suzy is adorable. I have seen her in variety shows and in Dream High. When she was cast in UF, I thought this writer is good so it will be okay. People criticised MCW before Nice Guy but it was fine when it aired.
      So again I am going to hope that the production team knows what they are doing. It is not like if I hate things would change. With this writer, the story is going to be good. Well it has been so far.

    • @suzypretty , LBY has never had an acting controversy. She was in an acclaimed drama called my daughter seo young which had higher ratings than IHYV the year before.

    • lmao knets bashing PSH's acting? That's new haha
      Do a bit or research. It's not that hard she was praised by knetz even with the Heirs mess...
      In fact Pino's response was great or at least better than his other 3 dramas...

    • @AG you mean her other three dramas not his yes?

• So much debate in my previous article over the potential candidate who could lived up the role of an aerospace engineer, when in fact, the hero is a prosecutor. LOL
  Nothing against LJS, but I would like to see other actor in a drama penned by PHR but she must have liked him a lot and vice versa. Their collaboration proved to be successful and I kinda of feel that they have established a comfort zone between themselves.
  I am not belittling Suzy but if UF is any indicator, this may not look good at all. She was ok in "Dream High", a drama also written PHR but that was a coming of age youth drama and here, I don't see her having the acting chops to pull it off.
  My guess is she will accept the offer since LJS has a stellar record to secure good ratings which will benefit her.

  • Typo....NOT "my" previous article.

  • But Lee Jong Suk's last three dramas only average around 10-11% ratings, it's not that stellar. UF's ratings were pretty similar.

    • But double digit rating considers as a success in past three years, no need to mention all of his five dramas were the winners in theirs time slots consecutively without a single flop, there is no other actor in his twenty with this record, also after IHYV all his dramas were sold to China with the highest price ever at the time.

    • Setting the bar low is key

    • UF ratings were in double digits for only the first three weeks, they dropped into single digits for the entire remaining run.

      The ratings toward the end actually are a better measure of impact, and it was telling that UF couldn't break 10 percent after week 3 even when W wasn't airing.

    • One thing beside the rating is the buzz that those dramas received, for example W broke the record with more than 1 million comments on Naver TV brands I think, or Pinocchio broke the record of online rating and so on...

    • UF did fine until W started and then the buzz and many viewers went over to that drama.

• Good luck to Lee Jong Suk.
  Should Suzy confirmed, he may need to brace himself to do a lot of works to save the drama.
  Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jun Ki has proven that no amount of talent and powerful performance could helped a drama when the lead actresses are not complimenting their talent.
  But may be, good writing will help.

• Hahahahah finally

• I trust phr she can make Suzy shines if Lee kyung her can't do it,just don't give her emotional scenes,she will be alright!!!

  • Lee kyung hee

• Pls don't cast Suzy. She can't act!

  • YG / LJS please say no to this project. I hated her in UF she killed that drama for me tbh
    Smh.... for them to even consider her after UF
