Wasn't "Last" also entirely pre-shot?

The question is, will they extend the thirst for quality from pre-production to the cast and crew or will we get some young pretty hallyu and idol folk with an "agreeable" writer in here? So that they will be sure they will get to sell the show well abroad and make back some monies?

I won't trust them until the writer and cast are attached. I mean, it's not my kind of show anyway, but I'll definitely cheer it on if the creators and cast are solid. Don't know the original either, but I hope it's a big enough deal for them to mind the people attached.

I love the Chinese drama. I'm curious how they are going to adjust this using Korean history.

I am super excited for this. I hope we hear news of the cast soon, and I hope I like them.

Sadly I was bored with the C-version! Wish they would do Cuo Dian Yuan Yang!

After this remake, I'm really hoping for a Korean remake of the C-drama Boss and Me. *crossing fingers and praying*

I LOVED this drama.
It really surprised me. When I thougth that the time travel was just a plot device, they brought it back to the centre, so well plotted, and he female protagonist made sense all the time.

They made a forgetable second part, and the main couple of actors ended married in real life! what more could you ask?.

Awsome news is what I'm trying to say.

I really liked the Chinese drama and the casting was spot on. I don't know how they are going to adapt the history into Korean history but I hope that since its preproduced that they would be able to do it nicely. I do hope they cast Joo Jin Moo as the 4th prince and Lee Bo Young as Ruo Xi since I think they would fit those characters nicely. Jo In Sung can be the 8th prince and I'll have a Frozen Flower reunion which would be nice.

Not much a fan of remakes causenso little actually does it bwtter than the original but Reading the pre-produced part made me so happy. With this new trend I feel hope that Kang DongWon will comeback to dramaland. So giddy tonhave him back to dramaland!

Hehehe actually I am so wishing he signs up for this drama. He would be awesome as the the 4th prince!!! KDW and his super elegant long lock in saguek....
Please dramahgods make KDW sign up fpr this drama...

With all these Chinese drama remakes lately, they're clearly trying to tap into the money flow of China by appealing to them. Is it just me or is this a really dumb way of doing it though? They're going to remake something that derived from there and then try to sell it back to the Chinese people... what I'm wondering is why do they think the Chinese public would care about a Korean remake when they have the original.

Was The Time We Were in Love even popular in the kdrama-watching niche over there?

Waaah! One of my favorite drama!!!! ? I hope they'll make a good remake, and that all the cast suit the characters. No idol group please! Unless they're really good at acting and only minor characters lol.

Something for everyone I guess. Is it possible, though? Korean viewers mean ratings and advertisements, Chinese audiences need to be indulged, which only means flirting with k-actors with huge fan-bases (you know, the "netizens" issue that pops up in every conversation every single time on every online community and every blog when a possible cast is mentioned) and all that must be wrapped up with some fascinating background in order for this project to stand a chance in American market.
Whoever in k-ent succeeds in this multitasking nightmare must be a true genius.

i was really hoping they would've cast MCW for the female lead but alas, she signed onto GMB & plus she probably does not have enough star power in china.

i'm thinking the leads will be big names (with all the money that is being put into this.) i've heard PSH thrown around (apparently that is what the c-netizens want) but will she sign on though? isn't she going back to school? regardless, i hope it's an actress that can at least act.

as for the male lead(s) i'm not super worried about. there's waaaay more talented actors that can fill in those roles. it's the lack of good actresses (within the age range) that worries me...

Since they are adapting this into Korean context, I guess there wont be any 4th or 8th or 13th or 14th princes this time round. Not really familiar with Korean history, but which era has many princes fighting for the throne? They would probably try to fit into that era I guess?

Anyway the role of the female led Ruoxi would go to a young idolish girl popular in China maybe.. as for the princes, yeah not to worry, we have a lot of veteran young and old actors fully able to take it on. Only worry is how the plot would work out since it has to be changed pretty much if its going to be changed to the Korean history.

I am excited about this. I love the original, and can I tell you guys that the male lead and actress got married after the drama?

I am also happy that korea is finally moving towards pre-production before broadcast! So many dramas were spiralling downwards in terms of quality and draining actors and staff.

Although I can see chinese funding helping make this possible, but anything for making dramas better, I am for it.

They may scale down the number of prince, the chinese version had many eps and korea most likely will not go for that quantity. I think 4 would be good, it will be like boys over flowers. I think the casting is important. I know PSH is wildly popular but so is Yoon Eun Hye's name also come to mind.

in any case, I dont think we will see this at least till end of 2016 if they are going to pre-produce this.

I am so into the concept of timeslip dramas, but they often disappoint. But, eternal optimist that I am, I'll tune into this eagerly!

I want eunji in a typical tradicional korean dramaaa... it will be debak to see her in a new role

Just curious, but is this also known as Jade Palace Lock Heart? Because I remember watching a drama with this exact plot, but since there's so many dramas out there with similar descriptions, I guess it could be a different one. . .

the girl in this novel is 13 years old ........ or 16?

In time with you is one of my most fav taiwanese dramas.. It was tastefully written with a lot of heart and the acting was well-executed. The korean version of it was ....
Now they want to remake my fav chinese drama? ?

Scarlet Letter was a Chinese and International success. I hope they take time to get the feel of the drama right, and not just try to do a scene for scene copy.

This drama was phenomenal. I hope the korean remake would do it justice.

Korean Remake are always really bad like In Time With You

Ahh my love Moon Chae Won would have been perfect for this. Alas, she's taking Goodbye Mr. Black with LJW instead. Sigh

I want Joo Won to be part of it... Maybe 14th prince. 13 Prince is also not bad...

The main leads,4th and 8th... I don't like their characters.One is too scheming while another one gone killing spree after he become emperor.

Sounds fun. Wonder who will be playing 13th prince? I actually skipped a lot toward the end of the C-version, hope that the remake will not be as dragging.

BBJX was a perfect mixture of idol-prettiness, veteran actors/actresses, solid acting, and deftly written plot. The summary does it no justice. It's based on the breakout novel by novelist Tong Hua and is really quite different than most time traveling/court intrigue. The story that heavily relies on Chinese history....so I'm very interested in how they're going to write this into Joseon. The long disputed succession of the 4th prince to the throne is pretty significant to China...I'm not as familiar with Korean history, but I'm guessing we'll be entering fantasy realm here? After seeing what happened to ITWY I'm veeeerrry wary of k-drama adaptations. I'm not looking for the same exact storyline, but at least something that reflects the original spirit of the drama/novel.

I hope it’ll take place during Joseon’s strife of Prince, that would make it even more interesting ^^

I'm not sure how I feel about them remaking Scarlet Heart so quickly. It was just out 4 years ago!
