Oh hells yeah! I’m off to say a couple of Hail Marys to the drama gods after this but I have to share the news ASAP. K-ent is reporting that Lee Se Young will be the leading lady opposite Lee Seung Gi in the K-drama adaptation of romantic webtoon Love by Law. Lee Se Young was still in teen actress territory when Lee Seung Gi was starting off his acting career but he was in his late teens and she was in her early teens was all as they only have a 6-year age difference. Whew on that and also major major relief on their pairing because it’s on par with acting ability, charisma, visuals, whatever is needed for a great romantic OTP they have on paper. We’ll have to see if it translates onscreen but they showed it already in Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) as Oh Gong and Bu Ja the most adorable zombie ever, so I CANNOT WAIT. *Koala screams of happiness!” The story is about a prosecutor turned landlord who opens Law Coffee in his building with a former Miss Korea who is now a lawyer. Bring on the expected bickering and falling in love in the guise of fighting for justice.

I know you are excited Koala because you like both leads, but I never found Lee Seung Gi charming (sorry really not hating, I just never found him handsome or charismatic ?). Eventually if this is confirmed I will definitely watch it for Lee Se Young and hope to see something from his side that I couldn't see before.
But how will former miss Korea work with LSY' height?! She has a gorgeous face but I don't think she's tall.
Same love lee se young and its nice to see her in a modern romcom drama but meh on lee seung gi.
Same thought. LSG has the most basic face and doesn’t have that “movie star” look or charm. Maybe because he became famous as a singer first.
Couldn't agree more. He's so plain and super ordinary
same...Excited because of LSY until I heard of LSG. I still gonna watch it of course, it's not like I hate him
Huh exact same sentiments re LSG. I've never found him even a little attractive and it isn't for lack of trying....
I am happpy for such self made actressss who earn their way up to top. There were complains that how 90s gen actresses didn't have fast rise like early 80s gen, but people forgot they were overlooked bcoz they didn't have big 3 idol compnay to buy them roles. They had to do supporting roles year after year to get noticed. So it makes more organic and currently so many 90s gen actressws has emerged which is good!
My first choice was han Hyo Joo(which obviously was not possible). But i couldn't be more happier now that Seyoung is given the offer.
Although the height is an issue but she is pretty enough to play the role of ex miss korea. And Seung gi returning to rom com after more than a decade will be nice to watch.
They were actually so good in hwayugi.
Lee Se Young stole that show for me with her portrayal as an idol trainee, zombie and a villain who was controlled by an evil spirit.
Kbs this year indeed has got some solid casting
I am so excited for this . I like both the actors. And the casting is age appropriate too.
Hum... wasn't it the FL who was Miss Korea? How a 1m62 woman can be Miss Korea?
I love Lee Se-Young, she's really a good actress. But she doesn't correspond to her character description...
Yeah..Jung So Min is taller at 165cm lol. Is it only me who really wish to see LSG and Jung So Min paired on screen?
Jung So-Min is busy with Hong Sisters drama "Return". It will be 20 episodes drama.
jung somin is not pretty enough to be miss korea
Yeah, I didn't mean that it should be JSM that plays the former miss korea character. But maybe in the future in another drama
Bwahaha, I just realized LSY is the persistent zombie girl who resides unwelcome/crashing at LSG awesome penthouse in Hwayugi (dropped the drama halfway).
Ohhhhhh I am excited with this pairing too.
Love Lee Seyoung! I like LSG in variety but he's a decent actor.
Hopefully both will say yes.
Err Mai Gahd! Could this drama mark my return to LSG ? Rom-com plus a leading lady that I actually like? Don't jinx it
Ah ah. Koala is so excited and who wouldn't be, what a pairing this would be and with a good storyline this could be seriously amazing. I am a big fan of of Lee Se Yeong and Lee Seung Gi is just amazing to watch, fingers crossed they both accept so we can get the clock ticking.
The main couple can act and that is a way harder thing to achieve than one thinks.
They are not a noona- dongsaeng romance.
There hopefully won't be an unequal social status amongst them.
That's already a win- win for me.
