Waeyo? It would be more fun if the set up in modern era. She runs a boarding house near the university. 😄

 

But lately saeguk are adapting modern hacks to their ancient style. I'm talking about their modern kdramas parody in some recent saeguk's scenes. 

 

Will it be any romance here? Cuz I like JGJ and KH both, and that one guy, I dont know him, looks handsome too. Hahaha. My heart always becomes weak to handsome guys. 😆

Ryeoun is the reason I started this drama thread. :lmao2:

 

Just look at him happily celebrating Kim Nam Gil's birthday in Through the Darkness:

The person I'm least excited for is Kang Hoon. I still am bitter that he's playing Mo Jun Jie. :cry:

 

But I agreed that it would have been nice if it was set in the modern world.

why do I sense some second lead syndrome here. After finishing LW, I have a crush with Kang Hoon and wish him to be the male lead again. That way I can see him longer. 

NOOOOOOOOOO!! Hahahaha! I do have to admit that he looks pretty handsome in the teaser.

 

The two leads at the 2022 SBS Drama Awards:

 

Based on the teaser, seems like it'll air in March. :CharmanderYay:

Did Ryeoun did something to his nose..? Why does it look kinda weird to me?

I have never looked at his nose that closely to notice. :lmao2:

At certain angles his nose does seem different from when he was in 18 Again & Through The Darkness @mademoiselle @Tofu

So is this gonna be a love quadrangle?  Truth is I have seen all the 3 MLs in different shows but none of them really gripped my heart hard. I did like Kang Hoon playing a shady character in The Red Sleeve @Alice Wonderland but his character in Little Women was so bland, and Wi Ha Joon was all I could think off.  :laugh: I last saw Jung Gung Joo in Oh My Baby where he had a crush on Jang Nara's character but I didn't get any SLS. I suppose Ryeoun has the left the best impression on me from the roles I have seen him in.

Since the trailer out it makes it even worse. Ah, oteokhae, I got SLS from the get-go, this is not good huh. He is not bland, he's sweet in there! I don't know I just like him. I like WHJ but he doesnt have any loveline with IJ till the final, lol. So yea, later when he has another drama with another lady maybe. 😄

 

And I remember Ryeoun, I think I ever seen him in one of kbs weekend dramas before, he acts as youngest brother of the female lead, but which drama exactly I forgot. 

Also, fortunately I skip the bully parts in TG, even a glimpse of SYE's sneer as the young bully in there is still distracting me. But let's see, hopefully the story will be good.
