BO GUMMY!!! Oh, how I have missed you!

😭😭😭😭😭😭
Please Bogummy, come back!
At this point, I don't care what he's in (although I'd prefer something great of course)
Oh and hello there gorgeous Song Hye-kyo.
I really think this pairing could work.

Huh. The hardest part will be believing Park Bo Gum is an ordinary guy.

I.... love him.

She's great.

I want them back.

But not as a couple.

and not with that writer.

:(

(I know, I'm being a picky little stinker.)

Song Hye-gyo is up for the role of an assemblyman’s daughter who was forced to marry a chaebol by her parents, but later ends up divorced after having a child.

This is the part that I'm most excited about for this drama. It's a rare thing for me to see a single parent in a drama. Add in a younger man, and this could be all kinds of awesome. I do love both potential leads as well. Ok, I need to lower my expectations and excitement.

Sigh. I'm not a fan of noona romances. I'll wait for your next drama, Bo Gummy.

What makes me the most excited about this casting news is all the potential cuteness between Park Bo-gum and Song Hye-gyo's.......kid.

As much as I'd like them back in dramaland, and as much as I like the single mother angle, I'm hoping this is just the production company trying to create some buzz. SHK and PBG can have their pick of dramas-- why would they choose one by a mediocre writer? And one that doesn't even have a network yet?

😍

I don't care so much about the age gap. Technically Park Bo Gum can act anything but when it comes to romance, I can only picture him with younger or same age female co-stars.

Somehow I am reminded of Hong Jong Hyun and Song Yoon Ah's pairing in Mama. He was 24 and she 41. It wasn't exactly a noona romance because it was totally one-sided. I wouldn't say the chemistry was good either but if the romance had developed, I think I would have bought it.

I want one or both of them to reject.

Imagine how awkward it is for Bogum to act with his sister-in-law?
And if Song Joong Ki is able to watch the drama or not?
What if Song Hye Kyo with no pressure of "being couple" on news, acts out the superb chemistry and charming?
What if they get nominated for "best couple", how would Joong Ki react?
I know I just went ahead but I hoped this casting is confirmed soon to see how meta this drama universe could get! :)))))

I mean, I like SHK and I love PBG -- but this seems like an odd pairing, I can't really see the two of them romancing each other. The premise isn't really hooking me right now, but I can't deny these are two very pretty!

Gosh can't bear to watch this...

Waited so long for SHK, SJK and PBG for their individual comeback drama but got this pairing instead!

From the comments, I'm in the minority. ^^; I love noona romances, am not familiar with this writer's work, and am okay with the Hye Gyo-Bo Gum pairing despite their personal friendship & Song Joong Ki. Work is Work. ^^

It has suddenly occurred to me that if the woman in a relationship is older even by just a few years it becomes a "noona romance" but there's (generally) no such label for romances where the guy is MUCH older than the girl, which is fairly more common. Hmf.

Patriarchy.

Ahhhh, tas gonna be awkward, knowing bogum’s relationship with his hyung 😐. Nooo please I wanna enjoy it and may not be able to stop thinking about the weird dynamics watching this couple on tv 😕

I understand that pairing a veteran actress/actor with a rookie actor/actress is a 2018 k-drama trend, still this pairing is quite awkward IMHO!

I really liked Entertainer ! The different stories of the characters were moving. The big issue in this drama was the main couple : 1) Hyeri was miscasted as a partner for Ji Sung, her character would have been better with the young singer 2) For the story their couple was useless, Ji Sung's character didn't need a love story, his repetence for his friend was enough.

So I think the issue here is the pairing too. I can't imagine the both of them together. I think Song Hye Gyo needs a veteran to support her acting and Park Bo Gum is too green for that yet.

Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo are both so adored in Korea. I think they're both just waiting for the perfect dramas to be in. And I don't believe this one is it.

To me it feels more like My Ajusshi with a gender swap. Bonus points if the kid is in boarding school for the entire drama.

Reading what it was about - wealthy woman with a kid, who might have to give all of that up for a younger man - gives me more Secret Affair vibes than Pretty Noona vibes. And the stakes are higher because she would give up her kid's financial future too, not just her own.

That all sounded interesting, but then it's the Jealousy Incarnate PD? That would make it ... Secret Affair with jokes and funny sound effects?

*Does Not Compute. Does Not Compute. *
** Mind melt-down **

Sincerely hope tvN does this premise some justice. FIGHTING

Well, as you can see from my avatar, I looooove PBG. But as much as i miss him dearly, I'm still weirded out by this pairing. If it's more in the style of my ahjussi rather than pretty noona, I think I can make it work.

Gosh, I don't know about you, but I think it's going to be really hard to see them together as a couple, especially when you're working together with your best friend's wife, you know? Like props to them if they do manage to pull it off. It's kinda like Uncontrollably Fond 2.0 except this time there's more star power AND SHK is already married

I think this ya one if the pairings that will either be a hit or miss for me, but I’ll have wait till I watch them together to know this because I love them both individually.

I think they are both great but as many have pointed out....I really can't imagine them as a romantic couple. I don't think it's the age gap, but I don't really know what else it is...

The story doesn't particularly spark my interest at the moment either. And those writing credits are not my favorite dramas... But I'll wait to see more before I write it off. If this ends up being the confirmed cast, I will definitely at least check it out to satisfy my curiosity anyways

Y'all know I love me both a noona romance and PBG. I'm going to be there.
I do NOT care if its going to be awful I will try to make it to the bitter end (although, I did give up on Entertainer and I *adore* Ji Sung).

Honestly, I'm surprised it took PBG so long to do a Noona Romance. Everything about this man screams noona killer. Or is that just me?

I love you, Bogummy, but nope. Go join your "hyungs"´ bleak, dark drama....

I find this pairing odd...

Right! The story must be good but if they are thinking of having a happy ever after, ie, love is lovelier the second time around type of story with a younger man, then Park BoGum is the wrong actor to team her with.

Makes me wonder If PBG was chosen because he is a "safe" bet for a newly married Mrs Song and they won't trust her with anyone else but the husband's good friend.

It's sad even thinking about it.

PBG is a brilliant actor and Moonlight Drawn by Clouds has proven that he has the makings of becoming a good actor. Please let him get roles than will allow him to shine and it's from my point of view it's not this one, absolutely!

Well. I'm here for it, whatever anyone says.

I love PBG and I've missed him dearly, and I have no problem with him having a noona-romance (especially on TVN, who have delivered some of my favourite romance dramas).
SHK isn't my favourite actress, but I don't mind her either, so I don't have any issues with the casting. The age gap also doesn't bother me at all, tbh.

I've been waiting for PGB's comeback, but this is a hard pass for me. It has a few elements that are just not my thing.
