The supernatural aspect of it piques my interest a little bit because the Hong sisters seem to know how to do supernatural well, when partnered up with a good director and visual effects team (see "Master's Sun"); And if this is a 'we will meet a quirky, supernatural guest every week-to-week and get to know their stories' then I can say that I am a little more excited :) The week to week stories in "Master's Sun" worked for me :)

I'm looking forward to this. I've liked a few Hong Sisters' dramas. Will be my second IU drama and will be bringing a lot of affection for her after My Ahjussi. I haven't finished a Yeo Jin-gu drama yet. Might go back to Absolute Boyfriend and do think he was doing the comedy well in that.

🤔 Hong Sisters you say...?

I like yeo jin gu and iu. I hope this get better ratings. I'm only watching one Kdrama, so I'll give you a go.

Yeo jin gu third drama this year,,He should learn how to pick better scripts. And take a break

I'm eh about the Hong Sisters, but I really like both IU and Yeo Jin-gu. Plus the concept sounds intriguing. I'm tentatively excited.

This title still bothers me to no end.

OMG, seriously how does YJG manage his time? And he's also a college student no?
I never like anything from the Hong sisters beside Chun-hyang and Gumiho. But I love these two dramas to bits. I hope this time they stop experimenting and write what works for the audience.

Watched some of Hong Sister's dramas and mostly bcos of the actors. Hmm hopefully this one is nice, cos I am looking forward to IU and Yeo Jin Gu in one frame.

De LA Luna. It should be de la... luna *sigh*

Oh look! More lovely content to shitpost. I am in my element.
*points and laughs at @leetennant*
Also this thing apparently has no plot.

Do you know that Hwayugi is unironically my favourite Hong Sisters drama? 😂😂😂😂

In some way, this reminds me of XXXHolic.

Oh no! The blank look on IU's face is back!!! What happened to the expressive IU of My Ajusshi?

PS: I so miss the podcasts. Sigh.

Regarding this being Yeo Jin Gu's third drama of the year, he is taking a break now. Absolute Boyfriend was dully pre-produced, shot I think over a year ago even before Crowned Clown. Otherwise I would have felt really sorry for poor Hong Jong Hyun as he would have been simultaneously shooting a 20 episode drama at the same time with a 50 episode weekender!

I really like Yeo Jin Gu but his lack of personal love relationship shows in some of his roles. I'm not sure about this drama. He was really great in The Crowned Prince because the love story was not the biggest part and because love relationships in sageuk are different. IU had great actors in her precedent dramas : Jo Jung Suk, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Sun Kyun, Lee Joon Ki or Kang Ha Neul. All of them are good actors and have a good chemistry with their partner. So I hope she will be able to assume this part with YJG.

Apparntly Yeo Jin Gu is allergic to sleep this year

This reminds me of Lady Gaga's season on American Horror Story. Anyone?

My problem with the Hong Sisters is that they're not mediocre writers or even bad writers. I love crappy dramas. I watch trash, I watch crack. I hate watch and snark watch with the best of them.

But the Hong Sisters always start out so strong. They suck you in with great characters and interesting premises. They cast fantastic actors to bring those characters to life. They world build well, their scripts are often witty.

But then... then...

It's not even that they write bad endings. It's that they don't care about their endings. In fact, they don't care about their story at all.

Can you imagine sitting down to hear someone tell you a story and it's interesting and complicated and has great conflict. And then at some point the storyteller goes "And now it's a year later and everything's fine! Happy ending! Bye!"
And gets up and leaves.

You'd be furious, right? It's a giant f'u to the audience. And it's in every one of their shows.

Apart from Black, there is no show that made me angrier than Big. None. I was in such fury by the end of that, I vowed to never watch a Hong Sisters' show again. I couldn't believe how disrespectful it was to their story and to the audience.

If I thought it was just Big then I'd be willing to give them another try. But I've seen You're Beautiful and I've seen Gumiho. And while they didn't make me as angry as Big, they were just as offensively written in terms of pretending the central conflict of their premise doesn't exist. What's the point of coming up with a fascinating, Gordian knot of a conflict if the only way you know how to resolve it is to just pretend it doesn't exist? It's trite. They treat their audience like mugs.

And that's why I won't be watching the show.

I enjoyed Master's Sun a lot!!! And it's in my all time favourite drama list and also one of the few kdramas which elevated my respect and love for kdramas!! On the other hand...Hwayugi it was good....but personally I didn't like it much! But I'll trust IU's choice and hopefully it will be good!!
And YJG.... I'm not his hater....but not I think I have seen too much of him this year!! I'm neither a fan nor a hater, just watch his dramas. But lately I'm feeling he's still too young for these dramas. Maybe he's still a teenager to me...that's why. Anyway....I'm just waiting for this drama a lot!!!

Finally a theme that has my attention after all this time.
The set up reminds me of movies/shows like Hotel Transylvania, Holicxxx & some supernatural manga along such lines who's names I've forgotten.

And speaking of Hong sisters.... I do have some expectations since sometimes they manage to do really well.
Anyway i hope it turns out great for the sake of everybody involved in the show, viewers & me too
