The goddess is back!

Can't wait for my dearest to return to small screen. Looking forward for her co-star....Jiwoo Fighting.

GODESS!!! though i always am weary of lawyer dramas ... Ill give it ago.

does Uhm Taewoong count as a hallyu star? well, they look good together at the 1N2D actress special... I hope it's them

Yonsama? there is no bigger hallyu star than his highness.

i would die of happiness if it were Bae Yong-joon... but that would never happen ..pout

Gah, if it's Jung Woo-sung I'm seriously gonna lose it. Not to sound overdramatic, but I'd sell my soul to see this guy on a TV screen again.

Cha Seung Won!! He'd be great with her!! ^_^

What happen to the Medical School Project? I guess, it is hard for CJW to pull any significance given Jejungwon's Han is pretty good.

the new drama should focuses more on the relationship, and inner feelings and emotions, rather than trying to portray her competencies as a lawyer. Frankly, her role as the CEO of the airport administration in Air City was a failure.

I do not think she has the stature of a professional career woman!!!

the forever-young actress is back - but she will be in competition w/the ex- Lee jin wook drama Muyng-wol Spy . But of course she's the Icon of the Kdrama . It's gonna be interested to watch . Can't wait

This woman haven't change a bit. She still looks pretty! I'm envious!

Is it bad that I got excited when I saw you suggest Kwon Sang Woo's name on the list of top Hallyu stars who could take on this role?

I now have scenes of Stairway flashing before my eyes.

Yes, yes...i know what all of you are going to say, but Stairway was one of my first kdramas. I think it may have been my first heavy kdrama so it will always have a soft spot in my heart

I personally want Cha seung won too!!!
But I don't think he's going to do another drama this year

I can't waitttt. Love Choi Ji Woo. As for the male, Kwon Sang Woo sounds promising. This couple in anything but Stairways to Heaven sounds promising!

I want Lee Byun Hyun badly. They have amazing chemistry. I know the chance is slim......

woah, i luv this latest news on her! i miss her since her latest drama --- welcome back choi ji woo --- ummhhh i think if i have a choice of his lead actor it wld either be SSH or KSW since they looked grt in stairway to heaven! or ryu jin? oh but ryu has got a new proj. ok i take it back!

jamkaman, what about one of my faves Ahn jae wook? they look good also in First Kiss!

I'm happy she's coming back to the small screen. It's really not going to make much difference with whoever gets cast opposite her - her mere presence in a scene tends to overshadow whoever else is there. It just better be a male actor with a strong sense of screen survival.

On a silly note, now that I've been made aware (thanks JB!) of her drippy left-eye leakage, I'm SURE that I'll be fixated on this for every scene calling for "weepage"!
Actually, I'll just consider it CJW payback for the dead spots she left in my tear ducts with all the sobbing I did for her while agonizing through Stairway to Heaven.
:)

The premise of this drama sounds quite similar to that of a 2008 TBS jdorama Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai
(佐々木夫妻の仁義なき戦い) with Koyuki and Inagaki
Goro.

Lee Jung Jae!!! Only because the ending of Air City sucks!!! They deserve to get back together. Yiheee....

They look great together!

I never worry myself about who will be sharing the screen with Princess Ji-woo, I merely envy them and consider myself lucky that she is appearing before my thankful eyes once again... :)

Why not CSW

ZOMG. Please let it be Jung Woo Sung! JWS in a finely tailored suit? Yes, please.

Ahn Jae Wook would be awesome! Is he really at Hallyu level though? Dunno.

I'd love her to be reunited with Bae Yong Joon (if he cuts his hair and stops look like an ahjumma) or Lee Byung Hun. I don't really think her and Kwon Sang Woo had that great of chemistry. Lee Jung Jae eh..... don't care.
Won Bin might be okay.
Jae Hee is always good.
Ji Jin Hee would be interesting.
Jung Woo Sung eh... dunno. He's okay. I just can't see the chemistry.

What about Park Shin Yang?

Here's hoping that it STAYS mostly "light" and doesn't veer into the inevitable 2nd half melodrama ala Star's Lover.

CJW usually has great chemistry with her co-stars. But it would be nice to see her paired up with Kwon Sang-woo again, they had pretty good romcom chemistry in the handful of happy scenes of Stairway to Heaven that didn't involve wailing and gnashing of teeth and dying.

Song Seung-hun would probably do the Kim Soo-hyun drama instead of another romcom so soon after My Princess. Though it would've been interesting to see them together a decade after Message.

Jang Dong Gun? any chances????

Oh this has so many possibilities. It could be along the lines of Adam's Rib with a dash of A Philadelphia Story. Sorry, I'm in a Hepburn mood.

USA and Japan in Women's World Cup Final!!!

JB you should do a post about Hallyu stars. Since everyone (including myself) aren't sure if our favorite stars are a part of the Hallyu wave. I think a post about who are considered top stars and who are reaching that point would be really interesting.

The fact that CJW is in this, another Hallyu lead will take the opposite role. I mean any Hallyu male star would want to pair up with her. No one would want to miss at least a glimpse of her in a new drama. I agree with the few who want Ahn Jae-wook. :D

It's better to leave her alone and let her concentrate on new work again without the usual hooking with actors by the fans. Since she portrayed as a wife and about to divorce, the story won't be sizzling with too many smooches like her previous dramas. Her some so called loyal fans are doing nothing but fantasizing themselves with any actor who co stars with her whenever there is a new drama comes by. I think she will act as a professional in more matured and confident manner and carefree style since her personal matters have settled and has no pressure on her anymore. This drama will be a good one. She can even get award if she acts with self freedom like her close friend KNJ.

i wish her leadingman in this drama would be kwon sang woo, they have this awesome chemistry since there stairway to heaven days .

I think most people here at just hoping for what they think would be a really good pairing onscreen for this drama (couple on the verge of divorce and both top notch lawyers).

I would love JWS although he is rumored to be considering another drama. I'm not sure what his chemistry would be like with CJW but he's one of my faves. KSW- well, I liked them in SWTH although it was way too kdrama melodramatic but I watched it when it was super hot as part of the hallyu wave so I was sweeped up in it all. I guess I don't mind them now, although I have not liked anything that KSW has been in, in the last few years. I'll just wait and see.

i thought this project for Kim Ha Neul ?
cmiiw ............

I love Choi Ji Woo, I've been waiting for her drama all this time and I definetely want to see her in this drama, I hope she will be pairing up with a great actor, whoever that might be..

Song seung heon for sure :)

Yoon Sung Hyun .... possibility ? Not bad choice for me too.

Unlikely hallyu partners:
BYJ - they did WS Anime together in 2009
JDG - he's into movies and upcoming project with KHN
SSH - just finished a rom com with KTH
LBH - he doesn't like to be partnered twice with the same person
and her previous co-stars with the exception of KSW

Likely hallyu partners:
JSW - I can see chemistry
KSW - not my fave pairing but likely.
CSW - he's pretty funny and I can see chemistry too
Won Bin - hm..not sure about him and CJW
Jo In sung
So Ji Sub

On a side note, I would love to see Lee Seung Gi cameo or be a supporting actor in her drama. After all, she asked him in 1N2D. He shyly responded "it would be an honor".

Correction - it should be JWS - as in Jung Woo Sung

To get a feel of JWS and CJW pairing, see this

Lee Sung-Jae ?Yoon Sang Hyun? Jung Joon-ho ?Uhm Tae Hyung? any chances????

I know that Choi Ji-woo, Lee Young-ae and Bae Yong-joon were among the most instrumental actors at the beginning of the Hallyu wave, but none of the 3 are particularly attractive.

Yeah, I know there is more than looks to being a star (such as being a good actor and starring in a megahit), but these 3 are also regularly looked upon as being known for their beauty/good-looks, but I just don't see it (not saying that they are ugly or anything).

i hope it's Cha Seung Won!

bd- maybe your blind!!!:)))

I HOPE GODDESS JI WOO WILL STAR IN A SAEGUK DRAMA! OMG..

I HOPE IT WILL BE SONG SEUNG HUN OR KWON SANG WOO (REUNION! =])

for some reasons, i wanted to see Song Il Kook to be paired with her..

Last I heard that they'll announce the leading actor next week. Yeaahh
many hallyu actors are currently busy with a movie/drama or have accepted future project. As such it's tough to determine which hallyu actor would likely be CJW partner.

I've narrowed down to these two seemingly available actors up for grab.
SSH : he hasnt confirmed the rumor drama Forget Me Not
Jo in sung

How abt Daniel Henney? He's no hallyu but is a growing actor.

sorry, ask 1 question, who is this Kang Ahhhhh guy ? Seems like i missed this one, but since a lot of posts shouts this name, i kind of curious.
Actually, as long as the female lead i like (in this case, choi ji woo)…i really don't mind with the male lead, trust that they will pick someone that in the same level with her....
But personal request, i'd love to see cha seung won, or kwon sang woo again...
No byj though....haha...
