I wonder if Kim Soon Ok watched Tale of The Nine Tailed 1938. She used Hong Joo very well.
Probably she asked the writer Han Woo Ri for the permission to use the same name.

It was so funny when Hong Joo was chanting in the end: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
She is the same after so many years. My little crazy Hong Joo! I love her. LOL

Me too. I enjoy reading some of your comments here. I am not watching the drama but I was waiting for So yeon cameo. I am glad that I read your comment. I did not know what she said but I still had the feeling that she is Hong Joo, with her super power strenght. When I read your comment it became clear why Kim Soon Ok used the same name in this cameo.
I agree that It was a clever used of So yeon. It was a mixed of Hong Joo and Seo Jin. Like Hong Joo wearing the clothes of Seo jin (similar with her black dress with the feathers.) Both are not someone you want to mess with. LOL

I found it odd when I found out that she is named after her previous character. Now I know why. Good idea from Kim Soon Ok to make her appeared as Hong Joo, the character from TOTNT1938, without saying out loud who she is. But she is Hong Joo and she is alive in 2023. Good news.

She appeared in episode 10 not episode 9.

I am glad about My Dearest. I just knew it will do good even before the broadcast.

So yeon`s cameo was funny. And now I know what happened with Hong Joo in 2023. Cool.

I watched So yeon`s cameo. It was funny and it gave me the impression that she had super powers like Hong Joo from TOTNT1938. Before the cameo, I wondered why Kim Soon Ok gave her the same name. Now I know. It is official. We know that happened with Hong Joo in 2023. YAY! She became an actress. A diva actress and it suits her.
That man has stolen money from a mountain god? Not good. LOL

I like the cast , the PD and I am looking forward to watch the drama. I have some reservation about the plot but I hope everything will turn alright. I want to watch a good romance drama.

It is just a speculation on my part but I am looking forward to the news. LOL

I think all female leads from Penthouse will make special appearances in this drama. First will be Kim So Yeon.

No, I am not a die-hard fan and I don`t usually watch fantasy dramas but I liked this show. It is really fine if you did not like it. There are lots of people who liked it and others who don`t. If you will write a review telling us what you did not like, I will read it without any problems.

It is possible to interpret differently what we are saying on internet and overreact. It is not like a face to face conversation. I also apreciate that you did not escalate our misunderstanding.

I am not watching this drama but I will watch her cameo. I am curious with whom she will share the screen in her guest appearance.

Yes, your opinion matters like anyone else`s but you should have said what you don`t like about this show and not ask why other people liked it as only your opinion matters. Taste of people are not questionable. And this is a basic etiquette also.
If your intention was not to put down the people who liked it and gave it a high ratings, I am sorry but you also should acknowledge that questioning other people`s taste ( why other gave the high rating) is not polite. It is better to comment about your thoughts, why you liked it or not.

They will explore the story about the original sanshin in the 3rd season. When they`ll produce it, it is another story.

I think they have signed for this drama but we don't have official confirmation for anyone. Until we'll have a broadcast date, we need the cast news first. It is possible they are ready for filming or they already have started filming, who knows?
Don't worry, Lee Dong Wook will appear in this drama, just not this year.

No. Next year for sure. We don`t even know the cast.

The answer is in the title. The events take place in 1938. She was not alive then, that`s why she is not in the S2.
The ML has traveled back in time but he will return in the present time at the end.

Yeah, depends what everyone is considering a love triangle. Many times kdramas have a `false` love triangle. Just because two people like the third party, that is not enough to be a love triangle in my book.
I watched this drama when it aired so maybe I don`t know have all the details but for me that was the case. From what I remember, Joon hee always had a problem with the bad timing. He did not confess when they were young and later, Min Ho was already in the picture. I remember the scene when Min Ho colapped on Soon Jung`s arms in the hospital. Joon hee`s face told us everything. He knew he was late again.
The female lead even had a hard time opening up to ML. One of people`s wish was that FL would be more romantic towards the male lead. I agree that she was pasive/ not romantic but I totally understand her perspective. This drama was about healing not hot romance. She loved all her life one man. When he died, she was heartbroken. I think the second time when she felt heartbroken was when Joon hee told her (after he was caught) why he killed Dong Wook. That must be so painfully.
Soon Jung opens up to new love, gradually, and accepted Min Ho. And he had another chance to life and love also. His persistence, his funny and innocent side after the transplant, made her fall in love with him and made us, the audience, to root for him/them to make it.
I liked the drama. I am not usually rewatching kdramas but maybe I will rewatch this drama someday.

LOL. We`ll see. I know that they will start filming next year but it will be nice to read more casting news because we`ll know more informations about this drama.

I am curious too but whoever will be it is fine with me. I wonder if she will be an important character in this plot. I am more curious who she is, how come she accepts ML as a gangster. Don`t tell me she is from a family gangster herself and their families are rivals. LOL
