• OMOOOOO. Not only GYJ but Lee Jae Wook, Choi Si Won, Jang Seung Jo, Sung Hoon and now Kim Jae Wook are all offered roles as SIG's ML reincarnated roles. THIS IS A HUGE CAST. I can't wait for the SCRIPT READING SESSION!! The casting bombs just keeps dropping whole day today. It's my lucky day. Thanks for the bd pressie drama gods.

• Based off the comic, only the Death character is the main character. SIG's character we only see briefly and it's the 13 death characters he was reborn into that gets all the screen time divided. There's a few female characters that GYJ could take, but they also get very little screen time. So I am curious if she'll just be another guess roles as well or something that is being changed to be more significant.

  All the death life lesson are interesting and kind sad for each re-incarnation character so I could see LJW taking this role. There are also many actors being offer other roles too.

  • This will definitely be intriguing in how the writer spin his version of the webtoon and split the screen time. Based on the casting news, it seems like all the other actors' appearances are being billed as a special guest appearance instead of being part of an ensemble cast. The reincarnated roles are kept to 8 instead of 13. So we may yet see another three actors being cast. If the main focus is on the 8 guest actors, JTBC may be breaking another trend in the k-drama world. It has never been done before and it's exceedingly rare to see 8 actors sharing the limelight if each alone takes up the main screen time in one episode. It could be that we see the 8 actors' faces in a mirror briefly while SIG plays all the different characters. Kang Ha Neul was supposed to play the main character but he turned it down. I'm going to tune in regardless of who gets more screen time just for the sheer amount of guest appearances.

    • Woah!! This is what I wish for, Go Younjung & Jae Wook Oppa reunion, I love seeing them on one screen. The chemistry is on point, loving their Romantic interaction. What an exciting feeling this year,and one of the best happenings this 2023!!

  • I can't wait for this😍

• It kinda reminds me the movie Beauty Inside with different actors playing the ML and Han Hyo-Joo as the FL. She had chemistry with every actor.

  I'm not fan of GYJ, she was very bland in AoS 2.

  I need a whole drama with SIG! Not only some parts.

  • Ditto. Just wondering if this drama is only a filler project for him before Handwritten. It's already been turned down by the first choice actor so that role may not be palatable or substantial enough. Heard that it's only about eight episodes instead instead of the usual 12/16 eps.

• Park So Dam, will see anything she leads in!! Cast is sounding pretty awesome! Love from America :)

• Well-Well-Well. Let's see how long GYJ will be able to capitalize the great work of Jung So Min

  • Here we go again, putting your bias on a pedestal.

    The truth is JSM’s career was going nowhere w/ the same repetitive characters being offered to her. She got lucky AOS came to her (due to the director)& she was able to capitalize on AOS. She has never had a hit drama to her name despite being a veteran. Even leading a 20ep drama w/ so much buzz, she got very little IG followers increase. Her fan increase did not even match much to LJW’s increase weekly. Until now, she has not have any significant big brand endorsements deals. Her followrup projects is a play(not really something to brag about) and her movie w/ KHN is likely due to both being in the same agency & she worked w/ the director before. Again, so far she is back to her typical leading roles. Nothing bad, because at least she is stabilize.

    While GYJ, even before AOS, her followers were already way more than JSM & she already represented the biggest brand only Alisters wished they had. During Pt2, GYJ and LJW’s fan increase were neck and neck weekly. “Moving” is expected to be big this year w/ many seasons planned (depending on the success)& her character is important. She has had many diverse roles under some of the biggest budgets projects. With or without AOS, her career was going up trajectory.

    Be humble.

    • JSM shippers are the worst. They mock and stir other fandoms. Copy other shippers posts and ideas. Ultra competitive & petty. Hyped up her "romance" w a ML coz she's got no real popularity of her own. Media play queen. Her fancafe photo & some of her vlogs are attention seeking. Stirring the pot of her shippers to get buzz.

    • they're so blind the ml not even into her. he's into someone else. his yt username has 8178 numbers. letter h is the 8th letter of english alphabet. his lady love dob is 17 & her english name is hazel. so 8178 means hazel17hazel.

    • @bboing lol u mean hyun17hyun. JSM moo shippers so scammed & duped.

    • @younjae as if wearing same lucky charms merch mean they're a couple. hazel wore wek snoop jumper same as him so they're couple too. delulus.

    • What the actually bolognese did I just read, on my! You guys keep falling for the trolls that want you to fight, and you do it in such a vile way I can't help but sympathize with the way JSM's fandom has been isolating itself. You used a conundrum of words to say so little in order "prove" JSM's trajectory has been stagnant, but did nothing but prove the point of her fans in this entire mess.
      How old are you people, really? I suddenly feel like I'm in a Kpop forum with the way these conversations are going. In what universe is Jung Somin's career the nonsense you are spouting, she can't act circles around most actresses her age and I ain't even her fan. JFC!

    • Y'all are seriously hilarious lmao In what universe is IG following an indication of talent and success?! Wasn't she specifically recruited for the role of Mudeok when production was halted? I haven't even seen her entire filmography but her characters are so different idk your points make zero sense lol

      The irony of telling her fans to be humble jeez. You can talk back to toxic fans without attacking the actress. I love GYJ but I'm getting real tired of people hating in the fandom hating on JSM and replying to trolls

    • Yah they're going to announce their dating news any day soon. Just like Lee & Lee couple. Both are super close to eo.

    • I'm sorry what? I'm a LJW fan and I've seen soooo many GYJ fans attacking his new leading lady already cause yall ship him with her or something. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. You guys are toxic af. And now saying all this stuff about a veteran actress wow

    • We're talking about Moo Kang ship, you LJW fan stay out of this. Pot calling kettle black without knowing the context. Sheeesh.

    • Most actors have up and downs in their career. That doesn't mean their career is going nowhere. I follow multiple actors (and some idol actors) and your points hold such little weight that it's amusing you are speaking of humility. Sure, her last peak was Father Is Strange and BTIMFL (I'd even argue TSHLYE was a peak acting wise), then she too a break and had a lul, and for 2021 she didn't even film anything other than AOS, which was also a peak. She is also known for trying out new projects and passions. She wanted to learn being a radio host so she became a radio host, even though it was right after her peak. She wanted to do theater so she took this Shakespeare right after AOS. If anything she's consistently showed she cares more about being an actress than a celebrity, so your words towards her career come off as incredibly ignorant.

    • She was able to "capitalize" from AOS?! She was the main female lead for 20 episodes and Mudeokie was arguebly the most popular character from the series. What was she supposed to do? Pretend she didn't play the role of Naksu aka Mudeokie? Pretend she didn't film for a year and wasn't the main character? Yall are crazy. She wasn't the one begging for the role, PD Park RECRUITED her specifically for the role.
      I wish she had never taken on AOS. It caused her to burn bridges with the PD from DOTS, took up more than a year of her time, and now has caused all this hate and ridicule to be thrown towards her from the fans of rookie actors who probably learnt tons from her craftsmanship and respect her. Yall are a new breed of ridiculous.

    • I am a gyj and jsm follower in ig but i am not a fan of gyj definitely not. Having huge followers in ig do not indicate that you are a good actress. The number of projects will tell. JSM has got her first lead role in just 1 year in acting career but your gyj got her first ever lead role after 4 yrs of her acting career. I think you just saw Somin negatively because she is so popular worldwide. Try to look her movie #ProjectWolfHunting which is still showing cinemas worldwide since Sept 2022 and yet you didn't see it. There are so many people who are so jealous of Somin's success. This actress that you force to destroy is a very good person. Evil eyes see evils and they got angry of good. The Universe loves Somin so much as she has a very big heart. She never have any scandal and for her everything and everyone is good. Bad karma will be yours bcoz you destroyed the image of a very good person like jsm. Bear it in mind.

    • Maybe you are just jealous to seomin shipper because the base on real life not in fan service, photo shot and BTS.stay away from seomin shipper.fucos on your ship and delulus.get lost👊

    • all mookang shippers are blind. she never put her movie's ml in her ig not even group pic but still keep her ex pics in ig. moo moo shippers claim she's dating her movie's ml bc they both luv cats. half of k-celebs own cats. he must be dating all those k-celebs too. lol.

    • 8178 and her aunt follow her IG. That's why she dare not put her movie's ML in her IG. They've been besties since 2016. 8178 frequently likes her IG posts. Moo Kang shippers' pride dented big time. Her Toronto vlogs are just smokescreen and red herrings to protect 8178.

  • I can bet an arm and a leg that you aren't even a Jung Somin fan. Congratulations for getting her more hate from these prepubescent stans.

• Haters gonna hate! When would their anger stop?

  Aja GYJ! There is nothing to prove since u are just doing your work!

  Others may think GYJ acting is poor, but not for me. Well, viewers has different taste so its acceptable.

  I am excited for this drama since i also like Park So Dam!

• Why is it always JSM’s fan who love to say GYJ owns her success to JSM. Isn’t it embarrassing when the later is doing so well even before AOS. Also, please stop promoting JSM in every of GYJ’s articles in a negative light.

  One thing is clear, all of AOS’s casts can thank AOS for upping their career.

  Anyway back to the Devil’s game, there’s only 7ep. GYJ’s seems to be like a special guest like the many other leading men expected to take this project. SIG doesn’t look to have a major screen time either. I love this concept. Each special guest w/ their own story arch. Bring it on.

  • It's highly unlikely the person who commented that is a JSM fan. There have been trolls everywhere trying to instigate fights and all these people are falling for them instead of realizing their common enemy is the trolls and not each other.

• I don’t ship any actors but the the drama and character. What I said about GYJ is fact. Do I think she is the best actress, clearly not. She has work to do. But articles(many) has praised her acting and name her the top to watch. Whether she can meet the expectations, only time can tell. She is banking in her endorsement deals nonetheless. Incase you people don’t know, a year of endorsements deals w/ 1day of shooting ads is worth more than 1/2 year spent on a drama.

  Do I watch JSM’s drama clearly I do due to the hongSister & not for any actors (I don’t even know LJW before or GYJ). I watched JSM since Playful kiss(her 1st leading role). Was she the best actress then, clearly not? How long did it took for her to get to this where u people praising her? It certainly wasn’t 1-4years but many.
  Did I watch her latest movie, I did and let’s just say there’s a reason why she is not suited for character like Naksu. She was weak & a meaningless role. The movies has a reported 9.5mill budget w/ 3.3mill in revenue only. The story was not good.

  When I mentioned her IG followers, it is to show their work portfolio & people engagement, & how effective they are at promoting their products. She hardly has any major endorsement(while newer actors are banking in more than she does). LJW already bank 3-4 endorsements after AOS. GYJ likely had endorsed everything she could already (she literally said during her Sweet Home period, the only thing she hasn’t done is a car commercial).

  Call me whatever you want, if the facts I said above hurt your JSM’s fans pride, I don’t care. I still hope that her IG increase and she bag more endorsements deals.

  • The fact that you care more about her IG followers and endorsement deals shows you think more of being a celebrity than an actress. JSM has always been vocal about caring about her craft, not the popularity she gains from it. She has explicitly said she wants people to remember her character's name instead of her own. She's taken breaks after her peaks even if it affects her popularity, which you are obsessively using to gauge her success.
    It says a lot about the people who are using it as a means to bring it down. You guys don't care about talent. You care about public recognition regardless of the craft.
    And even at 21 years old during Bad Guy, she was getting recognition for her acting. She got into K-Arts with a full scholarship FOR her acting. So apparently you know more than the people that gave her the scholarship? Good for you lol
    This entire war has been ridiculous from both ends. I dont agree with the people throwing hate at GYJ because she had a bright future, but the same people are throwing pitchforks at JSM and downplaying her career with very vile words. Being rude for the sake of honestly if only honestly with arent clearly biased.

  • "JSM's fans pride" You sounds ridiculous and incredibly defensive once people called out your strawme arguments. Plenty of actors and actresses come and go, are one-hit-wonders, or get involved in controversies that destroy their careers. Meanwhile y'all are obsessed with downplaying the success of an actress that has done nothing but improve her craft to what? Prove that your fav is better? More popular? JFC.
