Sighs. This just reminds me that I haven't watched Empress Ki and Giant as yet, although I so madly loved Salaryman and loved Incarnation of Money. Maybe I should try and jump in on this one while it's currently airing. The premise sounds interesting although it reminds me of Empire of Gold that I'm currently watching.

the role sound perfect for joo jin mo,say no to pretty boy

I don't remember Empress Ki reaching 30% - in fact, I thought that number wasn't reached since 2012 - but I'm probably wrong. Regardless, I love the writer and was a huge fan of all those dramas excluding Incarnation of Money. Hopefully the casting is well done because I'm really looking forward to this!

Yes. Definitely need a season actor such as eny suggested like Jo Jin Mo, or Jang Dong Gun. Casting a flower/pretty boy won't be believable. Gong Yoo can definitely pull it off. He's pretty, HOT & definitely well seasoned. Medium rare please....lol ?

"Giant" is one of my favorite period/action/romance and these writer's best work imo. It had one of the best villain I've ever seen in dramaland (Jo Pil-Yeon played by Jung Bo-Suk).
Two writers and two directors seems to work well with 40+ eps dramas. I was so happy when it reached 40.1%national drama status on it's final episode. Well deserved after a direct competition with Dong Yi for most of it's run.

Looking forward to this new project but this director *sigh*. I wish they would double him up with another director. It's too bad PD Lee Chang-Min is so loyal to SBS and he is directing Remember.

I loved Empress Ki! Hopefully this one will be good too. I wonder how the casting is going to be if its a story spanning 20 years. Will they cast a younger actor for the first half and an older actor for the second half? Hmmm...

I loved Empress Ki. Haven't seen any of the other dramas. It seems like they only want to produce 50 episode dramas. Is there something going on that I don't know about? With three 50 episode dramas currently airing you would think they want a break? Anyway, I'll decide whether to watch this after they announce the cast

Empress Ki looks like a filthy piece of rag compared to his Giant. 'Ki' is good on its own, but when 'Giant' enters the comparative picture -- written by the same writer, then we ain't talkin' 'bout no debates here. Giant is very incredibly written. I cannot believe I just finished an epic drama. Ahh-- just this article makes me wanna rewatch it again. Giant has the magic to turn the entire epic drama to seem like the entire series is just 30 freaking minutes. At first I was doubting the reviews, how could they be so immersed and absorbed in such a long, yesterday drama about construction companies... BUT boy ohhhh boy, I gave it a shot, and look am I in Cloud-9, having the best time of my life because of Giant!

[Giant is the ONLY work I liked from the writer. BUT you can believe me for saying that Giant is the most incredibly written K-drama, in my opinion, that will grip you every 3 minutes.]

[Whaaaaat?! PD of Hundred Year Legacy? Better not be bad man --- ]

If Tyrant will be, in any way, like Giant. I am soooooo in, baby. Part of me wants Kim Myung-min in this [Since KMM was the first pick of this writer to portray Lee Gang-mo. Lee Beom-soo got it instead because KMM declined it.] but we all know it is impossible because of his Six Flying Dragons.

Giant is the giant of dramas. A drama that knows my time's worth. Giant is gold. Characters Lee Seong-mo (Park Sang-min) and Hwang Tae-seop (Lee Duk-hwa) are my favorite. Mi-joo (Hwang Jung-eum) is my hatest. She's worse than Jo Pil-yeon (Jung Bo-seok). [Btw, Jo Pil-yeon is the greatest K-drama villain of all-time. Jung Bo-seok is soooo hot!]

I am so engulfed by the beauty of Giant. I think I will stop while I can. I cannot overemphasize the quality experience I've had with this drama. Thank you, Giant!

yes the highest ratings reach 29.2% and the drama has an average of 25%. The second highest rated weekday drama, only lose to YFAS.

Really excited... I like the way they write revenge drama. Just can't wait to know who's the leads because I know the writers only cast good actors, regardless if they're lead or supporting.

I'm not yet over my Joo Won's obsession so I wanna see him in a 50-episode 90's theme drama. Or maybe they can work again with Kim Soo Hyun/Ji Chang Wook, I'm not gonna complain if that happens.

Never understood the hype over empress ki (suffered through all the episodes and all the possible saguek cliches thrown into that one loooong cauldron) but the rest of the dramas are exceptionally special so this will be interesting

This show will be on my radar ? I'm liking the title and summary . 50 ep is bearable if the casts got good chops of acting ?

Hahaha Joo Jin Mo (parkjintae) brought me here! Not the coffee caked face joo.

I feel like this sounds really really good....but also like something that will be too painful for me to watch.

Then again I still haven't brought myself to watch Misaeng because I thought the same thing when it started. Winter is coming and I so t want to be all depressed (I know, I'm silly).

Let's see if it's in the same quality as Giant and HOTS or the same mess as EK and IOM.
As much as I love EK, I don't want 50 eps makjang fest with so many confusing plot and plot holes.

i nominate lee jung jae
best actor ever, he just oozes charisma and steals every scene he's in . huge acting range also , i think he can rock this role
