Honestly Wi Ha Joon should be promoted to male lead by now.

I know! But I was telling @abs-oluteM that I do appreciate him challenging himself with all these supporting roles. It allows him to show people how big his acting range is/can be.

@abs-oluteM Pssss, @Tofu is actually not in love with Seo Joon anymore. Hahahaha!

Hahaha! I still love PSJ, but my love is very dormant at this time. He needs to come back soon because if he doesn't, I'll forget all about him. :lmao2:

Yes, WHJ is 2nd lead (and villain) against JCW. I wonder if this would cause a fan war between the two actors' stans.

Really? Why would this cause a fan war? :thinking:

Hahahaha fans can come up with anything to fight about. Like for instance, say if... just if WHJ's screen time is more than JCW or WHJ's character is better written than JCW... stuff like that. OR, if they are in a triangle relationship with FL.

 

Were you aware in Tomorrow, when the PC system was down in Zumadeng, the dead people were asked to write down their names and date of birth and one or two appear to be close to BTS's real name (different surname or something) and their birthdates? ARMY made a huge fuss about it as well as giving negative review on Google for Tomorrow. They wouldn't accept that it was a coincidence.

@mademoiselle My brain hurts from all of that. I think people should just be happy they get to see their favorites on the same screen. I know I am. :eeeee:

 

I remember the BTS stuff! I can kind of understand because that's bad juju. :psweatduck:

Yeah I know except Korean names (original names not stage name) are quite common and in Hangul they can all be the same character. BTS member's real name wasn't the very unique kind as well so it may well be coincidental. If they use Hanja and it was exactly the same Hanja character as BTS then it is fishy. There's so many Kim Soo Hyun out there apart from the fame KSH we know of.

 

Even now in Blind, I belatedly realise they used the same name Sung Hoon and Sung Joon as in Duel. And again, the characters are "brothers". Does that mean the writer copy Duel? Hahaha!

@Tofu It had better be good. Maybe they can have less episodes in S1... ?

Maybe it's like Money Heist, Tracer, and Alchemy where the full drama is just split into two seasons?

Interestingly we talked about this a year ago. :laugh:

Spoiler

 Now that it is actually airing, there's no outright fan war but definitely there's bias in some of tweets and unspoken tension between JCW vs WHJ stans. More evident because of the romantic entanglement between  them and  Im SeMi's character. I consider myself a stronger WHJ fan but I do love JCW in this and he's doing marvelous.

@abs-oluteM Apparently, the first part will have 10 episodes and the second part will have 3 episodes. It makes no sense to me why it's split up this way. If the second part only has three episodes, they should just release it with the first part. Who knows, maybe when we get closer to the airing date, the way the episodes are split up might change.
