So Cha Seung Won ahjusshi is out. :(

I've also read the articles, or at least the headlines on soompi. If he's in I might consider watching it. :)

I'm not so sure of this one. It sounds like fusion of Goong/Princess Hours and Myung Wol the Spy. While I enjoyed the former, the latter gave me nightmares. I will give it a try for Ha Ji Won though. Had Cha Seung Won taken the role, I would be a lot more excited, but I'm not a big Lee Seung Gi fan.

I think this will be the first drama I'll actually give a try because of the leading lady. I would have also preferred CSW in that role, but it just wasn't meant to be.
