Arang v. Faith poll

[dangermousie]

Both start next week, both are fusion fantasy period dramas which look and feel somewhat wuxia, both star popular actors with huge fanbases. So, why not a poll?

Lee Joon Gi was the first choice in FAITH http://www.dramabeans.com/2010/11/kang-ji-hwan-is-lee-jun-kis-replacement-in-faith/ ~ apparently, they waited for him to be discharged too, but upon discharge he was also offered the Arang drama. He deliberated on it, but despite the wait, he chose Arang over Faith. It was somehow puzzling, passing up on a drama that has been "rumored(?)" to be made just for him.

But when I saw the trailers and preview~ I knew why. Arang drama is trying to create a whimsical world in a Joseon stage era, a very fresh idea, versus a time travel drama that would have been a fresh one 2 years ago, but was passed by Dr. Jin's almost same plot. Time travel + doctors + sageuk.

I am all for Arang~ voted for it all hands down, but I will still watch Faith too~ also because of the writer. 2 stories no matter how similar can mean differently on how it is written and then interpreted by artists and directors.
