I love Lee Sang Yoon, but I just don't see him as Akiyama's Korean version. I have no confidence in him whatsoever pulling this off. Shin Sung Rok would have definitely been a better main role choice. I hope I am proved wrong.
It's a good indication that tvn is in charge. They tend to do a good job with choosing their productions, if I don't count that whole Reply fiasco. But I need to wait for the cast to be chosen.
I've given her a chance. Two actually if you count my first attempt at watching her in Pasta, which I dropped inn the opening scene because I couldn't stand her...lool
I have watched 8/10. I'll never watch "Master's Sun", but I'm thinking of watching "Cruel City" (though not anytime soon). My absolute favorites are "Empress Ki", "You Who Came from the Stars", "King's Daughter Soo Baek Hyang", and "Nine". I really liked "I Hear Your Voice" and "Secret Love", somewhat enjoyed "Two Weeks", but thought "Gu Family Book" was a waste of my time. I should have just watched the first four or so episodes and then dropped it.
I'm assuming that the people who don't know what else can happen in this drama didn't watch the original version...…
I wonder if everything that happened in the Taiwanese version will also happen in this one... I usually don't cry in T-dramas, but I definitely was heartbroken in THAT scene and in the ones that lead up to that.
