The second I read the title I shouted "Noooooooo!". I still haven't gotten over Reply 1994.

I don't know how to feel about this. I don't want to suffer SLS and I love when Kim Eun-sook doesn't write love triangles. But, ugh him against LBH is a no-brainer. He's going to wreck my heart, I'm certain of it.

ANDWAE~~~~

How?! Like how can you make him a second lead... again?! Chilbongie and Jung hwan still gets me into tears all the time!!!

I mean... it would kill me to see him not getting the girl again!

I didn't expect YYS to sign up for a drama so soon since it was said he has rejected drama and movies love-calls to star in the musical Hedwig (running from Aug 18 to Nov 5), so this come as a rather pleasant surprise.

I was excited since it was said he was going to play a villain (been missing to see his villainous roles) in the drama. But tragic second lead that'll will risk whatever for his love? what. now I need to reconsider if I'd like to inflict myself with the pain and heartbreak.

Oh noes! Why do you need to stab at the old Chilbongie wound? I wish he was the lead and gets the girl instead. Sigh. A girl can dream.

Lee Byung Hun's casting: not interested
Kim Tae Ri's casting: not interested
Yoo Yeon Seok: oh no.. oh god. I want to watch it for YYS, but there's LBH! How could they?? Oh my! I'm so conflicted right now that I'm mad at KES cast YYS and makes him tragic second lead again..

Seeing that this is the second lead, I guess YYS wants to do this role because of his passion for acting, and of course work in a veteran writer's project. My respect for him. Maybe this time he 'will' climb the ladder and gain some much-deserved limelight. I was quite scared by his villain on 'the werewolf boy', which showed what a great actor he is, so can't not say that he kind of does this angst-ridden, psychologically traumatic characters well.

I have nothing against LBH but I'd rather they make YYS as the Mr. Sunshine. He fits more to be the typical KES's 1st male lead. YYS & KTR are both easy on the eyes and I can't even imagine LBH & KTR being a couple since both look like uncle and niece. Gosh I rant too much. Ah and the description of YYS's character makes me worry. TT

Exactly? How can you make people go through this again? Chilbong 2.0? That's like super mean, Writer-nim.

I didn't even finished Reply 1994. My heart couldn't take it anymore. Should we really get through that again :(

Augh my heart! I was almost sure I won't watch this drama but then Yoo Yeon-seok seals the deal for me. I already skipped his Warm & Cozy and Romantic Doctor but I can't see him bleeding like Chilbongie again. I'll just hope that this will be another successful project for all of them.

No... Not. Again.. I can't handle any heartbreak for my Yoo Yeon Seok. He just got out of the Second Lead Syndrome and got the girl in Warm and Cozy and of course the hit drama Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim!! I do hope KES will not do a love triangle like her previous dramas aka Goblin and DOTS.. (Cross-fingers). I want him to have the girl!! (A fan can dream right?)..

of course I have to be here in Yoo Yeon Seok's thread' comment section.
Yeay for I can see him in new drama but noooooo why does he have to be " a tragic character who falls in love with the heroine". I thought Kim Eun Sook's dramas suppose to not have "tragic second lead" for they always have lovey-dovey second couple. why can't she make one for uri chilbongie?

Just please give him a love line. It's too bad seeing him as plain villain without someone to guard him back to the light.

My SLS will never be cure because my bias is still in second lead dungeon..

Now since this sounds like so Gaksital, can we have second female lead like Han Chae Ah's character? If it is so, the pain will be double, we will have SLS for both male and female lead. Well if this drama is so determined to make us suffer, let's go all the way.

Now I'd just pray that though LBH is the main lead, he won't be having a loveline. KTR and YYS will be the couple in this drama as a side storyline.

Pair him with Kim Tae Ri. And get Lee Yo Won for Lee Byung Hoon.

I'm crossing my fingers that another loveline will be meant for him as the story progresses.

I'm late to the Reply 1994 party as my roommates and I just started watching the series but I've always had a soft spot for Chilbongie even if his character never stood a chance against Garbage. Now we're thinking of watching Warm and Cozy next just for YYS.

The lonely shining Chilbongie!!

It's KES's drama so here is finger crossing to wish he gets a second-lead girl.

NOOOOO!

I was just talking about this yesterday with @earthna, I'm still not over my Chilbong heartbreak, I cannot do this, DAMMIT!! Now I have to watch this drama knowing I'll have SLS and get my heart broken, again! *drags herself to a corner to cry*

Can the 2nd lead have the girl for once because if kim eun sook wants a love line between the 2 main leads which i think will happen, im not really into lee byung hun with kim tae ri as many people agree. But at the same time the story is so my style and like you said it sort of reminds me of gaksital which i absoulutely adored so i might stay if the story is worth it either that or skip the romance part

It honestly feels like KES is testing my limits.
-LBH as first male lead who is swoon worthy and so~ romantic?
-I am not fan but he is a good actor so that's okay

-Female lead who has baby face and is 19 years younger?
-it isn't that big age gap, plus she is a good actress

-Love triangle where girl chooses 19 years older guy?
-Ouch, shipping OTP was hard enough as it is.

-Yoo Yeon-Seok would get Chillbonged again?
-Ouch, I'm not gonna see that

I don't really understand KES's choice..T.T
LBH doesn't have likable charm and KTR too young for him I prefer Son Ye Jin (maybe) with him or change the Lead to YYS...
Current OTP doesn't match so It'll be hit or miss...
But I remember 20 years age gap between Yoona and Lee Bum Soo but they have so adorable chemistry wkwkwk hope KES can make us ship LBH and KTR in drama ^.^

Nooo...why second lead??? Now i have to watch this show and endure the pain n heartbreak.

Wow, happy for YYS . Regardless of what we think of the casting, role, KES's writing etc, it's no easy feat to be cast by her!

But I'm not sure my poor heart it if he channels his inner Chilbongie again. I still bear the scars. Though I'm guessing that if he turns villainous he will bear his pain of rejection differently than the ever-loyal, ever-loving, ever-puppyish Chilbong

I'm just going to be a bad fan and not watch. Couldn't finish Goblin, didn't bother with DOTS. Doesn't care about the casted leads either.

It sounds this character is Chilbong' past life ㅜㅜ

I thought Kim eun sook likes giving us two otps ?

Welcome my futur second lead syndrome..... :'(

Damn it show! Why do you have to do this to me?! Why?!

Does my dislike for Lee Santa outweigh my love for Yoo Yeon Seok? Tough question... I really need to think long and hard about this one. Another factor to consider is if my heart can handle boarding the second lead ship again (which I have no doubt, I will). I'm still not over Chilbongie (probably never will be), and now this again?!

Hmm~ complex character who’s meant to be villainous but tragically sympathetic actually makes me think of Yeon Woojin's character in Arang... And God, did my heart break for YWJ to the point I wished there were 2 Arang(s).. And now Yoo Yeonseok? Prepare for heartbreak, self.

oh well. Might as well prepare a safety vest from now on. My ship definitely gonna sink :(

Kim Eun Sook, why you do that to us? Just replaced Lee Byung Hun. I know he good at acting, but his image pretty bad and he not handsome enough to be the male lead of Kim Eun Sook's drama.

Andayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...........

I'm so excited,Can't wait for Mr.Sunshine now .

Oh no!!!I want him to be the first lead instead!

I was just thinking yesterday how much I appreciated that Descendants and Goblin didn't have love triangles, and that the second leads were friends of the first leads and had their own romantic plots :P I'm sure it'll be great, but I'm a little disappointed.

Can't we have a twisted plot about main lead as a tragic character who falls in love with the heroine but heroine runs away with second lead?

I've liked the writer and her dramas for this once thing: no second lead drama love triangles
Now this?
*sigh
Still looking forward to a good drama
Im happy for kim tae ri also
Kudos to her
EBay a way to break into dramaland

I was hopeful that when I read that YYS is second lead in KES's new drama, he would be like Dae Young or Grim Reaper who each have their own lovelines. But nooo! Let there be a miracle. I don't want another Chilbongie breaking my heart. I still cant get over it you know. (Didn't finish R94 because I'm hurt for chilbong huhuhu)

Join the resistance! Unhappy with the endings of both "Reply 1994" AND "Cheese in the Trap," I created my own alternate world, where Chillbongie and Hong Seol wind up a happy couple in the finale. https://ktoonsbyfox.wordpress.com/2016/06/12/my-alternate-ending-for-cheese-in-the-trap/

i'll watch but i don't thin lee byung heon is a lead i can support. He is so greassyyyyyy. I hate him so much. But i'll watch though. what kind of title is mr sunshine???

Just cut out my heart and grill it ???????? *releases a deep sigh*
Well, I'm ready to get gut wrenchingly (is that a word?) hurt(not).

Should I ready myself for the heart ache in our near future?

At least, now I know whom I will root for ☺

Please not again!!!! Don't do this role Yoo Yeon Sook. You already make me cry enough in Reply when you are the third person, when you don't get the girl. I can't see it anymore if you are not the one who get the girl. It hurts me
