He won't get the girl. He'll be the Korean James Marsden where he'll do one random drama where he does get the girl.

(O, will he never get the girl?).

I know, right? I would love to especially watch the scenes between him and Han Hyo-joo. Would those be reminiscent of Shining Inhertiance? Loved them there too.

Personally, I am not interested in this drama, the storyline is interesting, but the cast puts me off. I like HHJ but still, and I also like JJH but I don't like them being paired together and there roles.

LSY is an extremely awesome actress, she did fantastic in ToA! I wish her character's life didn't end that way since I hope for her to have a happy ending. Her role here suits her, but now I only want to see her as a lead.

BSB ...poor guy....he never gets a lead role that has happy ending in terms of love.

Ahh I'm looking forward to this one!

Hmmm...I love Han Hyo-Joo so I might check this out just cause of her...and I think it's kind of funny how Bae Soo Bin is playing the other guy that still won't be able to get her...

"She also called the drama a “sageuk CSI,” since there are scenes that involve Dong-yi investigating matters. "

Sageuk CSI = Damo. This won't be another Damo.

Bae Soo-bin will eventually get the girl, OK? Guys, don't destroy my hope!

They look like uncle and niece. He's old enough to be her father. Yeah, it's going to be impossible to pick up any kind of sexual chemistry between Ji Jin Hee and Han Hyo Joo. Very much like Park Shin Yang and Moon Geun Young in POTW.

@Sere - LOL! Agree with you!!!! (your comment made me giggle tho!!)

"Sageuk CSI = Damo"

Oh no you don't, belleza! That's what they *told* me to lure me in. And about 40 minutes total was spent CSI-ing. Then Damo turned into a combo of AIMH, Ireland, and WHIB with some froofy-wuxia thrown in which wasn't all together absolutely dreadful, but was still lightyears away from Chinese choreography, but I'm getting sidetracked here (it's like I'm Kang-ha talking to Pal-gang), but was still a meaty package of all of the above. And I lurves it.

As for Dong-yi, nope, not for me, esp. when you go and waste BSB yet again! Might as well make him play that half man/half woman character he essayed in Jumong. Rather than unleash his manly manhood and then go all psych! on us.

The description reminds me of the The King and I.

I want to watch this.

I thought BSB got both sisters in Temptation of an Angel? At least both of them fell in love with him. The open ending suggested that there's a possibility he and the younger sister can reconcile as they still have feeling for each other.

Eventhough BSB sounds like a second male lead, but depends on his script and acting, audience might be in favor of him, like Brilliant Legacy.

hmm i just wish JJH grow a facial hair cuz he looked really HOT in "Jewel of the Palace"

awww BSB our poor guy who never gets the girl.

let's hope that HHJ will get much improved in acting in this drama.. cuz in SI the second lead girl did a better job than her.. and in Soul drama she overreacted.. but nether-lees i like her.. she has what i call the "comfy beauty"..

and am sure LSY won't disappoint :) although i wished to see her as a good girl role

I also like Ji Jin-hee very much in He Who Can't Marry. I like Han Hyo-joo in Iljimea, that where she caught my attention, and of course, love her role in Brilliant Legacy. Poor Lee So-yeon, why does she have to end up with an evil role back to back?

this is off-topic, but there's no way bae subin is that tall

“I’m playing another villain, but I’ll show a Lady Jang that’s different from previous portrayals, one with my own appeal.”

Uh...Mishil much? LOL.

ji jin hee, bae soo bin, han hyo joo! all my favorites in one drama. i don't know much about lee so yeon sadly. =[ but hopefully this drama will make me become a big fan of hers!

Han Hyo Joo seems sweet but she doesn't seem comfortable with the men she's paired up with in the dramas I've seen. It's like a Gu Hye Sun type of acting with the men -They keep them at an arm's distance away.
Anyhow, I may check out the 1st episode at least and see how it goes.

What happen if BSB will never get the girl...it's ok... He will be mine...

Wow, pretty! :D

More brighter than Yi San, and more "cheerful" (?) looking than the sordid Jang Hui-bin...

Awww...and I was expecting hey'd wear the wigs... :C

“sageuk CSI”...another Yi San /slash/ Ballad of Hanseong (Hanseong Byeolgok)??? And since when had Dong-yi been given such powers, when the Queen had more of them?

About LSY...I'll await her Jang Hui-bin...(she's the 8th one now, after Kim Hye-su, whose Jang Hui-bin was nice)
@19...no, I don't think she'll go a Mishil...but remember that Jang Hui-bin was the Joseon version (at least; she was part of a trio known as Scary (includes Jang Nok-su and Jeong Nan-jeong) of a dangerous femme fatale (Silla: Mishil), and even the Annals note of her beauty...and her wickedness... X3

first case of sageuk error...
The female royals should still be wearing wigs, since it was still later when both Jeongjo and Yeongjo (Dong-yi's son, who historically was ashamed of his mother and avoided any mention of her) advocated the banning of the wigs (hence, the cheopji at the head...I must say, Dong-yi's is so much prettier than Inhyeon's...)

@16
second case of sageuk error (at the pics)...
By this time JJH should have facial hair...Jeon Gwang-ryeol (who did Sukjong at Jang Hui-bin 2003) had his when he married Inhyeon (Park *somethingsorryforgothername*), Jang Hui-bin, & Choi Sook-bin...
