Kim So Hyun in Talks for tvN Rom-com Drama Ring When I Like You

View Comments

• Looking forward to her return!
  Hopefully this will be a drama I can enjoy.

  • Me too!
    Comeback please!

  • News about her comeback always gets me so excited!

• This beautiful baby is so hard working but oh so unlucky with her dramas especially after transitioning to taking adult lead roles just like yeo jin goo.Her cameo in "while you were sleeping" and "goblin" was on point.But then her roles in "Radio Romance" and "Ruler"?.

  I vote for a reunion with Kim Min Jae or Yook Sung Jae for this.Or if they have to use older actors but still in an appropriate age range then I vote for Jang Ki Yong(to try out a lighter genre) and Woo Do Hwan(to wash off the image of his last drama).

  If this drama bombs again, then maybe she should try cementing her career in movies.I feel she would excel there because she is such a great actress.

  • Adult lead role transitions are never smooth. I'm so proud of her for always trying so hard and giving it her all despite how badly written drama scripts are these days. She's crazy hardworking so she really deserves a hit drama. I' don't if it'll be this one or something else but I'm glad she's finally getting the right role.

    I think she's one of the very few actresses who can dominate both drama and movies. Its just a difficult phase we need to get past but she's so crazy talented that I'll always root for her.

    • I remember when PSH struggled through the transition but started to settle down once she was able to take on roles closer to her age. It always a process of trial & error to move towards the right direction. She's taking the 1st step which is good enough because she's still very young.

    • This is true. People think child actors have it easy but they struggle the most because expectations are always high but in the awkward in between stage the public has hard time letting go of their child images. I'm proud of her for working hard to make the transition but also expanding her range by seeing what are her limits and working hard to break through them and become a stronger and smarter actress.

  • Possible to get both KMJ & YSJ? I mean they need two boys so why not them right? WDH has bad boy playboy written all over him or is that my impression because of his last drama? Dunno but I still vote for KMJ & YSJ.

    • If the option is there we should get both. They both match her age and everyone is longing for their reunions.

    • Are we doing virtual casting? Can I throw in the name Kwak Domgyeon as well? I know he's still miles from a lead role but one can hope right? Aside from that I'm thrilled to see a female lead get casting news before any male lead's. It's so so rare in drama land.

  • To be fair Ruler never bombed. Its still considered a hit especially after NHK bought it out so its an absolute success which won 12 awards till date. We can always question if awards matter knowing the corruption in Korean Entertainment but that's another discussion. Radio Romance is the only drama out of her 4 dramas that wasn't a big success but it still received a lot of positive response for its acting despite the ratings. It also finished 9th on the CPI for its final week which is the same position Because Its My First Life pulled in so it surely made an impact. I think she's making a pretty good transition for someone who hasn't spent a day outside of public eye for the last 10 years.

    • Ruler is a drama that was a hit in Korea but most international fans thought it was a waste (but again definitely did well at home) of the talent involved. I actually liked Radio Romance as a nice, sweet love story. I love when the guy falls first.

    • For the kind of expectations and hype MBC had from Ruler, the numbers it pulled in in Korea did not meet the hype (same thing over at SBS with WYWS). It did ok, it's not a bomb but neither is it considered a smash hit. I hope her next drama does better.

    • Ruler was a mixed feelings drama because while it definitely topped ratings and drew in a lot of buzz it was complete waste of ksh amazing talents and her character was just not properly integrated into the story. She's great in saeguk so if she ever chooses to do another one I hope they give her a proper character and superior writing.

• Baby girl getting a Netflix drama. For real! Lets say yes to the dress or in this case drama!

  • Netflix + TVN I really love this combination.

• The english title is Love Alarm. Its the most popular webtoon in korea among young people. They've nailed the casting on this one. She was one of the popular choices for playing lead female anyways. Ji Soo needs to get cast for the male lead. We all need a page turner reunion.

  • Where can I read it with English translation? I have "read it" scrolling the drawing and I die to know what are they "talking".

• why she always looking so pretty? have grown up very good. will wait for you to confirm again good drama princess.

  • IKR! She looks gorgeous despite those terrible camera angles. Goddess visuals indeed!

• I always like her but who is the writer for this? They shouldn't waste her talents again.

  • That's what I'm saying. Scriptwriters don't do her dirty again.

  • The million dollar question - WHO IS THE SCRIPTWRITER? She deserves a properly written script and character.

    • THIS!!! Was the problem with Ruler and Radio Romance!

      Now...if we go with a pattern, did you notice that if KSH accept this new drama she will complete the trilogy of the R's dramas?

      Ruler, Radio Romance and now Ring if you like it...?

      If she needs to do this new drama to end the bad circle of acting job, I hope she do it.

    • The actual title is Love Alarm not Ring.

      This drama is very different from either of the 2 dramas in both genre and character age. I don't think either of her two dramas was bad if Ruler pulled in good number and Radio managed to get positive reviews like Soompi said in an article.

    • @elle

      i come from 2020 because I'm so fucking lazy and decided to check the comments section about sso. and i found your comments. and u know what? she choose to act in R drama again! river where the moon rises.. hahhaha.. coincident?

• Oh oh yass she is going to do a comeback

• i hope Ji Soo and he’d better be getting the girl this time around! ?

  • ji soo is a good choice he needs to stop being second lead all the time.

    • Please tell me this time she will be paired with an appealing actor IN an appealing drama. Agree with JiSoo

  • Ji Soo is "in talks" to star as male lead in another drama already.The drama is a romance from a webtoon called "Whats there to Know".His co-star is Goo Hara(she was in a kpop group called KARA).She also appeared in City Hunter.

    Frankly speaking, starring in this drama with a stronger actress would be great for his first lead role as long as the script is good.

    • can it be possible he reject that drama? can he be offer this drama? sorry i am too mean.

    • Hello people! Spoiler Alert maybe??

      Though I bet almost everyone can know the plot by just reading the webtoon but still. Since its an adaption we can't tell how much of the original plot they'll end up keeping but damn this webtoon sound and look like fun! Whatever they end up doing I'm loving KSH for this role. It looks like the right fit for my girl!

  • I don't picture Ji Soo as the male lead because in the webtoon, he is supposed to be model-like (even though most of the male characters have the same proportions) and he was pretty selfish. I felt the female lead clicked better with the second male lead.

    • There is no defined male lead in the webtoon. You haven't read the full webtoon yet. The writer hasn't decided who she'll end up with yet. She kisses both the boys in the webtoon.

    • @HaHa In the end, Jo Jo chooses to be with Hyeyoung (Sunoh's friend) and Sunoh stays with his gilrlfriend, according to what I read on Daum Webtoon. The relationships are confirmed but it hasn't yet continued after the revelation of the true muse of the app (since the creator is recuperating from her health problems).
      Even though there is no fixed male lead, I don't see Ji Soo as neither of the guys.

    • For me, Ji Soo is very handsome and cute, but also manly! Arrgh!

    • He's oh so hot.

• when is this drama slated to air?

• If this app was real I would have never survived high school! The embarresement from knowing someone knows that you like them when you know they don't like you is real folks! She's such a cutie pie and I'm totally liking her for this role!
