View Comments

• I was hoping HJW would make a comeback in a sageuk with Jang Hyuk but never mind. Thank you drama gods. Already expected SYJ would pass on since her wedding. I'm all in as YYJ makes any production value go up exponentially. HJW and KHN being award winning calibre makes this drama a triple threat on the caveat that the script must be really good.

  • This will be a reunion for YYJ and Ha Ji-won! I hope HJW accept the role. Her face is younger than her age and her great acting will conceal the age gap between her and KHN. She wont be dubbed as "chemie fairy" for nothing. Kang Min-hyuk who was her leading man in Hospital Ship is even younger than KHN.

    • I don't understand that there are still fans of kdrama actresses with crab mentality especially when their favorite actress didn't get the pie that they expect.C'mon guys. Ha Ji-won won't be Korea's national actress for nothing!She won't get 2 Daesang awards for TV if her acting is cringy. She won't maintain her position in the industry being a top rated actress if she's not a deserving one. I will not say anything negative about SYJ because I do not have bitterness on her. But she already passed the role on.

      Grow up as a kdrama fans, kiddos!

• I dunno about this. Age gap is way bigger than Gong Hyojin. It helps that Jiwon has a baby face while Haneul looks older than his age.

  • If it worked with Gong Hyo Jin who is by the way only 2 years younger than Ha Ji Won I don't see why it can't work here.
    And in my eyes Ha ji Won looks younger than Gong Hyo Jin and definitely prettier.

    • They kinda look alike.

    • agree with you

• Noona for these both again. Looking forward

• So until now kbs was promoting the drama officially using son yejin's name even when she didn't confirm it. Idk why this director is so adamant on casting her and haneul. First time in river where the moon rises and now this. Anyways ha ji won finally returning back to kdramaland. I really like her.

• I really like her. She has such a cute personality!

  I like the casting but what is the story?

  • This will be a reunion for YYJ and Ha Ji-won! I hope HJW accept the role. Her face is younger than her age and her great acting will conceal the age gap between her and KHN. She wont be dubbed as "chemie fairy" for nothing. Kang Min-hyuk who was her leading man in Hospital Ship is even younger than KHN.

• Welcome back Ha Jo Won.
  She is versatile actress & i prefer her to SYJ who is superficial to us with ha ha he he he when its not funny

  Not sure about the young actors though. Now they paired matured leading actresses with you g men.

  As for Youn, she was Grammy award winner.It was reported she tossed out the script for Pachinko as she thought she had to audition for it?

  Lee Min Ho is humble & passionate & had gone on his own for the audition of Pachinko.

  • First of all, “superficial to us?” Who is “us”exactly?

    Secondly, YYJ won an Oscar, not a Grammy. And while she “threw out” the Pachinko scripts when she was asked to audition, after some clarification, she did eventually send in some audition videos. Besides, she isn’t even confirmed for this drama yet, so why throw her under the bus and bring up LMH?

    Anyway…looking forward to seeing HJW onscreen again. I think her role will be the granddaughter of YYJ’s potential character.

  • SYJ is the realist person in the showbiz and is the sweetest and most beautiful actress out there. What's your problem trying to debunk her like that? She is the most versatile actress compare to HJW who is cringe to watch and not beautiful. There is no us, it's only you.

  • You are an idiot, I don't believe you are a true fan of HJW but a troll trying to start a fan war. If you don't like SYJ that's fine but grow up, get a life and stop all these lame insults!

  • @L.O

    With a brain like yours, who couldn't tell apart what is a Grammy and a Academy Award....I don't think people will take your word seriously. And excuse me, Youn is a veteran actress, and I am sure sends in her audition videos. I mean excuse you...for believing such stuffs, when she is someone who has much more experience than Mr Lee Min Ho. P.S: Not everyone who LOVES HJW is a SYJ hater. So, there is no such thing as us.

  • I prefer HJW to SYJ as well, but SYJ is better at melodramas.

    I think HJW doesn't have the slim face that works to SYJ advantage. Because SYJ is so thin, she looks older than her age, but still polished.

• I DO LIKE HER A Lot , her voice, her soft stare,... . Happy that she is back as her lastest dramas were ? . And with good actors . ?

• Love love love both HJW and KHN, never been disappointed with any of their performances and both are super versatile. This should be good! Praying to drama gods that the writing wouldn't fail them ???

• No offence but this is a huge talent jump :| HJW is alright when she has action roles to mask her bad acting but if its pure melo or something similar, she sticks out like a sore thumb. Add in the fact that she's going to be starring alongside some acting heavyweights and it's a big, big yikes from me.

  • I agree because HJW is quite cringe to watch even though if it's action. I also don't find her young looking or beautiful. It would have been better if SYJ didn't back out because she is a better actor and is more beautiful. A better fit for KHN.

    • Missy, SYJ is a fake actress. Everything about her is just pretentious. On the other hand HJW is a pro in all genres. Rest in peace haters haha.

    • HJW looks more cute, SYJ looks mature, but older.

      SYJ did a great job in CLOY, but I didn't like her very much in Personal Taste. She got upstaged by YEH's cameo.

      One actress does action, another does melodrama. You should have used another name instead of YeJin, it makes you look like a loser.

  • What? Are your blind? Hahaha how about her hwang jini where she is a daesang awardee? There is no action there! In closer to heaven? Is that any action ? She won a lots of awards there ! How about syj did she got any daesang award? Action roles to mask her acting your face!

  • well i think it is major upgrade.

  • I don’t know which project that you already look for hjw. She is delivered in all roles, and given the most versatile actress for nothing, please! She got best actress as well in Closer to Heaven which is a heavy melodrama, hwang jin yi is considered melo and she got daesang for that. Don’t talk crap just to make your fav looks better!!

• It would have been nice to see Ye Jin with KHN because they're both great actors. Such disappointing Ye Jin back out but hey her wedding with her man is the bigger picture. Works can come later.

  • *you

    • Hey to everyone. Why do so fans show bitterness when it comes to Ye Jin. She is never a fake nor hypocrite. When you look at her, you can see what you get. Besides she is an awesome actress. Remember, she wouldn't be awarded in the different awzrding bodies of Sokor for nothing.her performances in The Pirates and The Last Princess were awesome. No one in K biz ness could equal to her. She is in comparable for all you know. Stop demeaning her awesome name. Just be happy for what she achieved. Now that she is married to the love of her life. Let her be happy Because she is blessed. Stop this stupid criticism

  • Yejin you are an example of a bad fan of son yejin, fans of HJW never hate SYJ, but they hate fans like you who bash HJW. Those actresses are not enemies, but of course HJW fans will protect her. shame on you using Yejin's name, you are dishonoring your idol.
