"No can do."

Hahaha, true dat.

I think, if I were JGS, I would be a smidge tad (or maybe a whole heckuva lot) insecure to have KJW as my 2nd lead - especially since he has proven himself to be prettier, craftier, AND taller. Hehe.

The other thing is, chemistry is hard to predict. KJW and HGI (Bad Guy) were fizzing hot. But with MGY... I wonder, and I hope, and I pray.

Also better in guyliner. LOLOLOLOL.

Re: chemistry. I agree. Part of the reason I ended up rooting for him over Kim Nam Gil was because I just could not buy KNG and Han Ga In as valid romantic interests even though I loved them both separately - they had completely sibling chemistry (as contrasted with KJW/HGI where I thought they'd be running to the bedroom any second or KNG with both the sisters where it was different levels of very hot). And here, you never know. This said, I bet MGY will have good chemistry with both her leading men - I am not her biggest fan but she seems good at that.

To be fair, JGS can be a pretty decent actor. The first thing I saw him in was Hwang Jin Yi, and then Beethoven Virus- both of which he was pretty good/nuanced. YAB + Hong Gil Dong seemed like steps in the wrong direction, but at least we know that the potential for nuance/subtlety is there since he's done it before. He's pretty good in his movies, too.

But yeah. I know I'm probably going to have shipping issues anyway, but maybe there's hope? xD

Kim Jae-wook for real?

Hmmm.... I don't actually know Jang Geun-seok all that well (I have three of his dramas on queue but I never actually got around to watching any of them.) But I'm a bit delighted that he's paired with Moon Geun-young. I think it's more that I'm delighted Moon Geun-young gets to pair with someone her age.

I love Kim Jae-wook. Much as Kim Jae-wook in a drama (and with Moon Geun-young, too) thrills me. I kinda worry that this will make a wonky triangle. Wouldn't he be too old for this?

But. On the other hand, Kim Jae-wook and Moon Geun-young are strong actors. Would be curious of their dynamic in this.

I tried to watch YAB... Dramafever decided it didn't want to let me watch the last 15 minutes of ep 1 and I am totally okay with that. I just don't get the appeal. He's really hit or miss for me but I do agree that he is a terrible choice as a romantic lead. He doesnt have enough charisma for it and usually has no chemistry with costars.

YAB just didn't work for me at all so you didn't miss anything.
