i'm with you on this one javabeans. i enjoyed LSG in My Girlfriend is Gumiho, but i am ready for someone new to take over the next Hong sister drama. ^^

Cha Seung Won started out as a comedic actor. Watch all of his old films and see how great he is doing something lighter than City Hall and Athena. I love this actor and have every film and drama he's ever done. I also agree he's the prime reason I've been able to sit through Athena. So freakin' hot!!! I hope he gets this. Great combination, he and Gong Hyo Jin, just great!!

Brain fried from possibilities.

He naturally has some great comedic timing, as evidenced from City Hall. You can totally see it.

And I agree, JB, I like how Hong sisters don't stick to the same actors, except to do occasional little cameos. It makes it fresh and exciting. As much as I like Lee Seunggi. But yeah.

I don't like either one of the 2 actors. I tried City Hall about 5 times cuz I liked the female lead but just couldn't go on. I watched MGIG and quit after ep 5 or so.

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT.

Love CSW :) I was always so jealous of Sunnie in City Hall :)

If CSW bags the role, it would be really interesting to see him do a comedy.. hong sister type of comedy no less.. I will surely miss LSG and his cute little dimple though :)

Given how much I love LSG it's a surprise I'm not dangling myself off the tallest building I can find right now. I think it's because - A Hong Sisters drama is a Hong Sisters drama. No matter who they cast, I know it's going to be all kinds of crazy awesome. How could I ever complain?

I was bummed that LSG was out.. but now I'm even more excited that CSW is in! I LOVE HIM.

is it possible to be incredibly sad but ridiculously happy at the same time?! I love them both...i was thinking abt City Hall the other day...sigh HOTNESS

i'll the drama either ways :)

CHA SEUNG WON? seriously guys?

I'm in.

anything for CSW.

I'm LOVING this!!!!

CHASEUNGWON.

I am there.
I am all in.

FTW.....CHASEUNGWON.

Cha Seung-won? Its' gonna be a diff ball game. I am so gonna keep a lookout for this drama if it is true.

"For one thing, they have a knack for stripping a man of his dignity...Oh Ji-ho as a plumber."

Um..how does being a plumber mean they have no dignity? thats a pretty effed up statement, no offence.

oh wow! Cha Seung Won will be a hoot. He's handsome.

I'm hoping the has-been actress will be Lee Mi Sook. I've only seen her in Cinderella Sister. Anybody knows if she's done any comedy previously?

AHHHH! Sooo EXCITED!!! I fell for Cha Seung Won's brooding, hottness and alpha male ways in City Hall and although I love Lee Seung Gi, I'm totally excited to see what the Hong sisters will do with Cha Seung won and who they will pair him up with. The prospect of what the Hong sisters might make Cha Seung Won do in the name of comedy is already tickling my fancy. :)

This just got more interesting, can't wait. CSW has great comic timing.

It should be YOO AH IN!

City Hall is one of my favorite drama. CSW did an excellent job there. Ditto to lots of people above, CSW is funny, sexy, a good kisser and man he can cry...Can't wait for this one.

I'm on board.

OMG. If CSW gets lead actor I will be so thrilled! I loved him in City Hall and he's not bad in Athena either but I think he does best in rom-coms.

awww, just from the title, I felt for girlfriday.
Seems like Christmas is still not coming....Well, you had Dream High, which was already a good surprise :)

CSW is so damn hot, i would love to see him in a hong sisters production

I like that the Hong Sisters get different actors for their dramas' leads too, makes it fun to look forward to a different dynamic each time.

Oh man, I hope this casting pushes through! Cha Seung-Won is GREAT at comedy. He made his name starring in comedies which were huge blockbuster hits, that it took him a while to transition to dramatic roles.

City Hall aside, I've missed him going for broke goofball-wise. Love that no lead actor survives a Hong Sisters' drama with their dignity intact lol.

i don't know much about CSW, but like everyone said, if it is Hong's drama, everyman is okay, worth to anticipating !
well, CSW character seems interesting, he is hot :D

and for Seung Gi, i hope his next drama project will also as daebak as the previous.

ohhw el...i'm still excited about the new drama. i liked you're beautiful and my girlfriend is a gumhio was one of thhe top dramas of the year for me....

HECK YES!

I am actually more excited now to see this drama if they do cast CSW...but remember ladies and gents, they're only /talking/ haven't confirmed anything yet.

BUT STILL! This drama could be all sorts of win if they do cast CSW

I've seen CSW in Bodyguard (2003) and City Hall, I think he can pull off whatever the Hong Sisters are going to throw at him.

still hoping to see Lee Seunggi ang Eun Hye partner someday.....(wishful thinking!!) :)

Anything Cha Seung Won! I'm in....!!!!

omgsh! im gonna soo wtch this..not only cuz its a Hong Sisters drama..but i ove Cha Champion...hahaha itd be awsum to see him in a light role :D

CSW can definitely do comedy (but, it has to be the right kind of comedy).

As for LSG, despite overexaggerating his facial expressions a bit in MGIAG, he did a pretty decent job of things.

However, while he was well suited to play the lovable, hapless male love interest in MGIAG, I didn't exactly buy into his character also being popular w/ the ladies, much less an "action hero."

yesssss! so happy about this news. as much as i like myself some lee seunggi, i was looking forward to a new face to a hong sisters drama. woohoooo.

CSW....please dramagods, make it so!
