I bet I'll be great as a sasae-- err... reporter too. *cough* Anyway...

I'm very excited about the Writer! I'm expecting a grown-up version of Dream High. Lots of behind-the-scenes look inside entertainment industry + everyone getting a proper story and character arc.

Park Hye-ryun hwaiting!!! ♥

She's great at handling female and side characters. Waaaaah~ I hope Lee Yubi signs on! :D Being a "side character" in Park Hye-ryun's drama isn't a bad thing at all!

*crosses fingers* *steals an incense from her Rim jar to wish luck for Lee Yubi*

Oh no, I would have liked it if Lee Yubi was the female lead instead. T__T

but this writer is good with supporting characters and the description sounds interesting. Look on the bright side..

"Apparently, all roads in the universe lead to Kim Woo-bin."

How could you have not known that GF?

That's like the only truth that ever existed...Unless you live in Mary's universe, of course.

"Apparently, all roads in the universe lead to Kim Woo-bin."

haha...love it!!

i like it when one or two (or more) of the cast members were from white christmas...heh.

"All roads in the universe lead to Kim Woo-bin"

And I thank God for that.

Sigh, please no Park Shin Hye. She somehow manages to suck the life force out of all of her co-stars, even though she is not a bad actress per se.

Just to make things clearer ..the fact that Kim woobin being casted for Pinocchio first and after he declined it was offer to jong Suk is all wrong ...Jong suk was the first choice from the start but since sidus (KWB's agency) is also the production Co. for pinnochio drama they tried really hard to get the role for their star but since the writer and PD had Jong suk in mind for the role since the beginning ..Sidus couldn't say no to them and claimed later that KWB declined it due schedule clash..
please read some facts below:

KWB’s reps’ statements don’t really add up… and a lot gets lost in translation…On August 7th at 8:02 am, Sidus
released an exclusive article where aSidus rep gave an interviewconfirming that KWB has received and accepted the lead role in Pinocchio; and that, after co-ordinating his schedules with the movie he’s filming (which is also a
Sidus production so co-ordinating
between the movie and the drama schedules shouldn’t be a problem), he will proceed to film both.

Just a few minutes later, at 8:30 am,Sidus reps released several articles stating that It’s hard to even say that
KWB is in talks for a role in this drama (which contradicts what they said in the previous article) due to
schedule conflicts with the movie filming, but that he received an offer.

Starting at 9:07 am, SBS’s side released several articles denying Sidus’ statements.
According to an interview with the drama department chief “the writer and the director are in the middle of discussions with an actor better suited for the role”. He also added that KWB does not even match the character in question and that he was never considered for the
role.

Note that it is very rare for the drama department chief to come out in person and do an interview like
that (which confirms that SBS’s side was very irritated by the media play seeing as how they put a stop to it as
soon as it started).

I really want the casting to be true and I want the drama to be good.
The bromances are going to be awesome ,so is the romance(But I just want PSH to improve a bit on some areas.)
Just hope that Lee Yoo-bi will not play a bitchy role,because I want to adore her and her character at the same time.
All in all I fervently wish that the whole cast will be together as a team who we can root for.

Kim Woo-bin was never even considered for this drama as far as SBS, the scriptwriter and director are concerned. Sidus (the production company and also KWB's management company) has been media playing to have their way with the casting of the leads since the beginning of the year. However, the head of the drama department at SBS released an interview on August the 7th denying all casting speculations of KWB in this drama. (Mention of KWB's name in some of the recent KYK and LYB casting articles can be seen as journalist's mistakes from copying and pasting from their older articles, which happens all the time.)

also on tumblr someone answered a question whether woobin was considering Pinocchio or not

the answer:

there must have been a big clash from the higher-ups. SidusHQ (the producers of the drama and Woobin’s company) sent out reports that Woobin was considering the role, but at that time the director and writer were already talking to someone “better suited” for the role (this last part came from SBS). Those reports of “not confirmed but still considering / we’re working out his schedule to see if it’s possible” from SidusHQ (released for whatever reason when they knew otherwise) must have really gotten on SBS’s bad side since they very promptly stepped in (reports published 1 hour later) to shut down all those reports of Woobin possibly being the lead, they said it was decided from the beginning that he wouldn’t be, that these reports are only happening because Woobin’s from SidusHQ, and like I mention earlier that the director and writer were already talking to someone better suited. Those statements really contrast each other so much that I think something was going on, I think SBS must have been mad at SidusHQ for doing this. Yikes.

I’m not saying that this drama was for Jongsuk from the start or not— Jongsuk just came out of another drama and lots of film scripts were coming his way and I was SO SURE he was going to pick Time Renegade— he probably didn’t expect to star in two dramas in one year. It’s just that Jongsuk has a good relationship with the director particularly, the director is really supportive and dotes on him, and probably wanted to work with him again. The writer is really fond of him too.

Apparently, all roads in the universe lead to Kim Woo-bin.

True. Once I wanted to see a broadcast of Pope's visit to Korea, and guess who was smiling from the screen of my TV ;). To make it weirder, this broadcaster is ultra conservative, and I daresay rather boring, anyway you don't see young popular actors in their programs. And yet, KWB made it.

"Apparently, all roads in the universe lead to Kim Woo-bin." - I giggled out loud at this, and couldn't help my fangirl self; I did a fist pump and had to say, "YES THEY DO!" XD

this would be great, both talented actors who need their big break

Since KYK is already working on a drama, why not cast someone else for the 2nd male lead? Like Choi Woo Sik. He's a good actor, but never really seems to get spotlight roles.
