This looks cute and, dare I say it, kind of fresh? I'll be tuning in for sure.

Hell, no!!!! I was already super iffy with this project and now we are back to magic time travelling tumors? You got to be kidding me, writer! Pass, definitely PASS!

Lee Jin Wook is in the same agency as Lee Beom Soo. Maybe a role in a brain-tumorey, time-traveley series is part of their contract. XD That's some weird fetish their company has...

Hmmm if I watch this for the landscape and Lee Jin Wook alone, will it be worth it? *weights the pros and cons while thinking back about Dr Jin*

Not liking the bowl haircut...

Can't she have better hair?? It is not that flattering...

What's with the fugly bowl cut?

He's cool, she's not. Like the male lead, but not the female lead. Could be the weird hair cut driving me nuts.

Wherefore the dramatic illnesses, dramaland? And a BRAIN TUMOR at that. Is Dr. Jin really the thing you want to be evoking here? Or... ever.

Yeesh. It's not necessarily a deal breaker, but I'll be waiting until it's over and the verdict's in before picking this one up. The potential for tragedy or suckitude or tragic suckitude is way too high here.

Oooh, clicked on the link to this post and got a new header featuring none other than Lee Jin-wook himself! Double-dose of pretty :D

Brain tumor =/= deal-breaker for me narratively speaking. I can see it going a number of different ways, hallucination cop-out nonwithstanding. They could integrate it into the plot right off the bat, and take it in a different direction. These creators aren't known to follow tropes, so I have hope that they can make it work. I also have some ideas of how they could do it, but I won't clutter the comments section with my rambling, lol. Instead I'll wait and see what the drama has to offer.

sigh...

Just not sure about this one yet. Brain tumor aside.

Yeah the brain tumor just makes it not interesting. It'll have been better if it was a reflective piece of his life.

Hmmm, I was looking forward to this as it was starting to sound like a better version of Operation Proposal, of which I loved the theme and camaraderie (not so much the writing and execution), since there were going to be finite chances to actually change what happened and made each jump back important, but the whole brain tumor and self-saving changes everything around.

I'll probably wait and see if it's worth picking up.

I am not afraid of brain tumors. I am going to fight this one with a ff button :D. I can endure this and that to watch LJW. Even time travelling.

I'm using my special memory-erasing dust to forget I read about brain tumors in this review because that makes me not even want to watch.

Just curious. but after seeing "Do No Harm" abruptly cancelled after only 2 episodes, do they cancel series in Korea like that? If so, why shoot your ratings in the foot with Dr Jin Gummy Tumor in your lead promotional material?

Dust, sprinkle, dust

Oh my, I can't wait for this exciting new drama 9 with the hunky actor. It's going to be great.

Why isn't the show called 아홉 (ahop) or 구 (gu) instead of nine? I know there is a lot of English adopted into the Korean languaage, but does the show's title sound cooler to Koreans by spelling it in English? Plus it just puzzles me from a trademark standpoint ... 9 is not exactly something you can trademark.

I'm still in but I'm kinda relieved that my expectations have now been lowered quite a bit.

well since I didn't watch Dr. Jin I'll still watch this. But you know what would have been more interesting, to me at least, is if he starts to travel back in time at uncontrollable times for unknown reasons to see scenes from a past failed love and then eventually we find out that he's been a cancer patient having hallucinations/dreams all this time and he's been keeping his cancer a secret from Jo Yoon-hee and pushing her away for years but after his adventures in the past even though he's still going to die he finally accepts her and spends however much time he has left with her.

Time-travel to fix his relationship with the girl? Sounds a lot like Operation Proposal

Brain tumors don't bother me. Summaries of drama are usually never that close to what actually happens anyway. Plus QIHM team... I put my faith in them.

hmmm....now the premise sounds lesser interesting....but i'm surely giving this a try.....

I'll wait for the ending of this one before I start watching. No way will I invest myself in a drama that has the possibility of hero/heroine death. I've been burned way too many times. I'm glaring evil eyes at you, Fashion King, for that unnecessary ending...and all the idiocy pain in between.

"....only Sun-woo keeps her at arm’s length, and never fully lets her in emotionally."

He keeps mistaking her for a mushroom, and that's not a very good way to start a relationship.

mmm....its sounds bit of like Operation Proposal where I lost bit of my grey matters having the hero go back times and again. No matter how handsome the hero was I couldn't complete it. so for this I will wait till the end and see what the recappers here has to say before I invest my time.

What? No more solving a family crime or something like that? I liked that mystery part or else I have nothing to look forward to now. :| Will read recaps if anyone's willing to write them.

I keep confusing her with Lee Yuri, even tho she looks a bit more like Lee Hyori.

tq gf !

what is she doing to his chest !! ?

Le sighs. Not more brain tumours! I was looking forward to nine since I loved QIHM, but brain tumour?! With the potential TWTWB one as well... is this 2013's theme? Or rather just the typical melo theme.
Having said all that though, I think I'll still watch it cos I have faith in the team and Nepal looks gorgeous.

She looks SO unattractive compared to the VERY attractive LJW. Maybe I'm just biased LOL or still suffering PTSD for her performance in Lie to Me...

I just feel Jin Wookie deserves better co-stars.

Nepal looks beautiful and I really wish they had shown some Nepalese people in the teaser.

I will wait for at least 6 recaps to read before deciding to watch this one. The story seems to be only about a workplace relationship with a deadly tumor thrown in for suspense.

It sounds pretty lame to me... But since it'd from the directors of QIHM I must watch it of course... And I've been liking most TvN dramas lately, so that's another reason to watch it. Hope it'll be better than it sounds. :)

I really liked QIHM! it was the best time travel story of 2012... but the brain tumor part is the one that makes me want to run to the hills... no no no no... Im using all my "sad-sad-tragedy-tolerance" to watch That Winter and i'm not that confident I can finish that drama... :(

From some reason this feels like A Thousand Days' Promise (Tears).

Bang Yi-sook!! <3

They could turn this into Operation Proposal if the female lead was about to get married/already married. This role sounds similar to the role he played in I Need Romance 2. He's good at pushing people away. Minus the time travel. Brain tumour? No wonder he looks deathly pale in the stills... I have high hopes for TVN though!

I highly doubt that it will be Dr. Jin-eque in any way and it's not taking multiple repetitions for me. The writing team did an amazing job with QIHM and they subverted tropes left and right so this taints my expectations in only one way: I really wanted this to be more exploratory of human beings and our pasts but there's the chance that they might focus on that less than I want them too because of the whole "he's almost definitely going to die" thing. It just gaurantees that some time is going to be spent on the impending death.

My expectations have shifted accordingly. I still think it's going to be amazing, I'm just not going in also expecting them to deal with brain tumors too which might potentially take away from the whole premise of past affecting present and get into enjoying life and whatnot. I prefer one over the other but I don't begrudge the writers.

OR it all goes horribly wrong. Still a possibility I must accept. We'll see when it gets here.

OMG, going to Nepal for the 1st time ever tomorrow & now thanks to that teaser will be seeing things there with a dreamy persepctive & soft, falling petals floating from the heavens with the great himalayas in the backdrop & some hunky guy ala Lee Jin Wook wandering around *squeals*...
