NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *sobs*

*facepalm* But... maybe it will be a prequel?! Yes, that's it! We learn about his past before he met all the other guys. How he became a foodie. *lives happily in the land of denial*

"Then what’s the point of caring about this girl, if he’s just going to break up with her and meet Lee Soo-kyung later?"

LOL, that's so on point! They're obviously trying to sell the second season based on the success of the first. So they're retaining one character to make it feel familiar and then change it up completely. It feels like a betrayal of sorts for people who loved the first season and initial coupling though...

WHYYYYY TVN WHYYYYYY

lol nope, bye bye Let's eat 2 it was nice to know you.

Okay, so I am living in denial, and I've come up with great plan. (humming--they did not break up; they did not break up to myself). So the new female lead is not his love interest but will have her own love story involving his food blog and her food blog and the food critic for a newspaper. He helps them even though he doesn't want to (they are a bit annoying) because she is Soo Kyung's cousin. Soo Kyung is in ___ (pick a remote place with no internet--so no skyping) doing work for the government and her cousin is now living in her apartment while she is away. Hijinks ensue and they all head to the remote location for an off-camera wedding.

Sighing in my happy place.

Uh...she kind of carried the drama...interest lost

I join the chorus of Noooooooooooooos.

No Sookyung means no Barassi.

Wouldn't have minded a few new characters, but the lead couple + dog were the absolute minimum required. Preferably also Sookyung's crushing boss. And at least a cameo of Yoon So-hee.

My guess is they didn't have enough imagination to come up with a solid storyline (which, granted even in the first season, had its weaknesses - the whole murder mystery bit was not needed).

Not very excited now, and not too likely to be watching either.

(My Sassy Girl 2: don't understand how anyone thought that would be a good idea. Utterly unneeded... and you have to be as mad as a hatter to cast an idol with zero acting experience to take on Jeon Ji-hyun in a career-defining performance.)

oh no !! i don`t like the change of cast :(

At this point I wish they would just start with a whole new cast. I would at least give a new cast a chance. The way it looks now I will be staying far, far away from this sequel/prequel/whatever the hell this is supposed to be.

Barassi!!!! /cry

Annnd there goes my interest in "Let's Eat 2"...sigh.

I would've been fine with either at least the OTP from season 1 OR a whole new completely different cast with no original cast members OR most new characters with maybe a side character from 1 being the new main (like the lawyer guy) with a whole new cast! But THIS?! ? Ugh! We can't have the main guy from 1 be the main guy of 2 without main lady from 1! ? Unless there is no loveline for him.. Unless they come up with something brilliant I'm skipping! ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Make Doo Joon play some other character, e.g. Shiksha-nim's long lost twin brother or something and than I'll be fine with it. But you can't just ruin Season 1 for everyone.

Let's eat was literally my happy pill for 16 weeks. I was _so_ looking forward to a second serving of the food gang or at least the two leads. I can't believe they're breaking them up.

The build up took SO LONG, and now he's already looking for another foodie?

THIS FEELS WRONG.

WHY WHY WHYYYYY

TVNNNNNNNNNN *shaking fists*

I'll just pretend that this sequel doesn't exist, and continue with my life.

TT____________TT

To be honest despite liking, a great deal, what I saw I never finished season one because the once a week annoyed me and well time continues to move forward with no input from me on whether it should or not. I always intended to go back and watch it once it finished, maybe I will one

Even though I haven't finished season one yet this feels like betrayal. I mean how do you bring one character back but not the rest. Maybe they all died in a freak accident and only Dae-young lived.

On an unrelated note does anyone else want to smack Cha Tae-Hyun for agreeing to do My Sassy Girl 2?

I had a nagging suspicion they would do this :-C

Urgh mental breakdown.

This casting decision is best characterized as a dish that should be sent back to the kitchen.

NOPE NOPE NOPE

Shut it down, TvN.

make you wonder if they even asked any of the first seasons cast back? Or is it a matter of, you want Yoon Doo-joon then you got to take Seo Hyun-jin as will?
Frankly I would rather change the guy if that mean we could at lest get all the rest of the cast.

Guys, this really feels like tvn's cruel trick on me. Seriously, I got the news that TTM was cut and was so bummed about not getting to see more of the Crown Princess. BUT then I got the news about Let's Eat and Doo Joon coming back so that started to make up for everything. All the while, I'm hoping for Seo Hyun-jin to get another leading role...and then this happens. It's like they took two things I REALLY REALLY wanted, mashed them together to create something that I REALLY REALLY don't want.

I soo agree with everything you said! Tvn WTF are you doing?! This is wrong, just plain wrong. I was looking forward to watching season 2 BUT I am not going to root for the new girl. I liked Yoon Doo-joon but what about Lee Soo-kyung? She was awesome. Not everyone can make you root for the character like she can even if the chracter is not the nicest girl in the neighborhood. I dont believe she is that busy that she cant film season 2. No Lee Soo-kyung means no Barassi as well? Noooo, now I dont know what can me make to watch season 2.

No just no !

obviously they have no idea of how important it is to maintain the main couple in a sequel. it pisses me off so badly whenever they replace the original heroine with a younger one (japanese dramas: hero, galileo), as if to "upgrade," despite keeping the male character

i'm not watching this

My interest just went down the drain. I want Doo Joon AND Lee Soo Kyung!

this so AAARRRGGGHH. I was already worried season 2 may not be as good. and with this??!!! I repeat AARRGGGGHHH

I wouldn't mind watching the prequel so I can understand how Doojoon's character became the fun and crzy guy he was!

If tvN wanted to do a sequel of something they should have done Thr Three Musketeers!!! Or leave this alone.

I love Seo Hyun Jin but I don't want her to replace a beloved character. Can't they just cast her in a new drama with Lee Jin Wook? I clearly have bad withdrawals.

It's not the same without the original female lead. It's like cheating !!! Now I'm depressed too.
