Kim Seung Woo, wasn't he supposed to act in some medical Drama. Has it already started filming?! I haven't heard of it for a long time.

Kim Hyun-joong, he ruined BOF for me. I cannot see him in the acting field. But good luck anyway!

And Jung Yumi, fighting!!!

Hong Joo-ha?! **gulp**
Kim Seung-woo? Yes.
Jung Yumi as a good girl? Double Yes.
KHJ as the 'City Conquistador'? He may be my cyber-hubby, but I'm praying to TPTB that his acting/action lessons are going to stick - he's always said this is the kind of role he's wanted to do.
I shall light my 'Kick Ass' candle for him and say a few prayers..
:)

I find her likable and I love Kim Seung-woo, but nothing else about this appeals to me. *sigh* Lie To Me was a train wreck, and Kim Hyun-joong's acting usually makes me want to push him into oncoming traffic, so...

err, Lie To Me? :/

woo I'm excited for this drama. I'm glad that Kim Seung Woo joins the cast. This man nails every role he's in. Not sure about Jung Yoo Mi but never mind, I'm watching this drama anyway.
Pray that the writer won't screw the script like she did to Lie to me

Yeah,yeah say all you want -the guy is laughing all the way to the bank.

Oh boy, another lisp-fest. Maybe she'll have learned to speak clearly by now.

I like KHJ as a singer, but holy crap was he not believable in Playful Kiss (still ashamed I actually watched that whole show).

God, I hate this girl and her cat-mouth.

Maybe this particular city was rumored to have lots of spices. Thus, the conquering.

I think KHJ will do well this time. His acting was stiff in BOF but it was pretty decent in Playful Kiss. People improve by learning and practicing, and KHJ is more hard working than anyone else I've seen. So give him a chance and if you will watch the drama, watch with an impartial mindset and without prejudice.

Wow la Mala fama that lie to me has I don't get but then again it was my fourth ever k drama and i absolutely adored it (except for the lag) and I didn't watch it week to week... But yeah I still see her as sena and want to punch her like automatic reaction so we'll see if she can change that

Damn...I was getting so excited until I saw that the script is bring written by the same writer as Lie To Me.

Decisions...decisions. What to do now?!

One can only hope Kim Seung-woo is as badass as Cha In-pyo in first five episodes of Gaebak.

am i the only one who is NOT excited about jung yumi headlining this drama? i disagree and don't find her likable at all. i think she over-did some of her acting scenes in rooftop. i would have much preferred the other jung yumi! (from i need romance 2)

City Hunter.... LMH

City Conquest.... KHJ

What's next?? and who's next? @.@

About Jang Yumi, saw her in Innocent Steps last night. She's pretty good at dancing.

Ayyway, good luck to her! And congrats on her first lead role!

My 1st impression of JY was as the smart but sweet palace maiden investigator in "Dong Yi" so - her turn as the baddie in RTP didn't change my impression of her.

But KHJ and the writer for LTM?

That's a double whammy of badness.

Lie to me writer? Oy.

LOL @ OH NOES

Every time I hear that I think of the dude from family guy.

I'm sure Jung Yumi's going to be adorable in her first likable role, but I can't help feeling that this drama's going to be a disaster.

kim hyun joong in a dark noir revenge drama???
are you @#$*& kidding me?????
His acting is hands-down the worst I've ever seen(Even by idol standards)not to mention he has the charisma of a stick.This guy should stay away from doing any kind of acting If he failed to deliver in such a simple role in BOF how can he possibly deliver in this role.I'm sorry but it's the truth I can look past the writer but KHJ?This is definitely going to be a train-wreck.

Please give KHJ a break. If you think his acting sucks then dont watch. Words of encouragement would have been better.

So Kim Seung Woo is gonna be the Shin-Hyun-Jun-in-Gaksital type of role? One who will possibly die a horrible death at the end of his cameo?

And it's about revenge against the corrupt establishment, too?

Imagine just how many comparison people are gonna heap this drama against both CH and BM. Top it off with KHJ's cringeworthy acting (and NO, boy has had his chance to prove himself twice in major roles, he's just that - BAD - and should stick to singing. Period.), the bad taste Hong Sena left in my mouth and the writer of Lie to Me, this drama is a disastuh waiting to happen.

Still, stranger things have happened. Maybe gonna check a couple of episodes to confirm my suspicion lol

I like this girl...she can go evil with a smile...will probably check this one out..

Jung Yumi's character in A Thousand Days' Promise was totally sweet that's why no matter how bad her character is in RP, I still love her. As for KHJ, I don't know why but I always end up watching his dramas. I'm still wondering on how did I finish Playful Kiss. Lol. I'll give this drama a try. :)

Seems like the writer of Lie to Me has CONNECTIONS!!!

I'm willing to give Jung Yu Mi a shot (can't really blame her in Rooftop Prince since they pretty much made her a one-dimensional character anyway), but Kim Hyung Joong? Shucks.

Maybe KHJ's been MIA because he's been taking acting classes?

Lie To Me had the worst writing I've ever seen (in a drama with big name actors). But CC has KHJ, so doesn't matter, will watch anyway ^^;;

I'm surprised they cast Jung Yumi for the drama. I didn't like her in her previous roles, and the way she cites the script *urgg* Even in one of her likeable roles in A thousand day's promise, her presentation is forced and came off as overly innocent and fake, to me

Anyway, I'm gonna watch this drama for Kim Hyun Joong. He's pretty and hot. Believe me he's hotter than ever these days *look at those bulky muscles* I don't know what he did to me but I'm kinda attracted by his screen presence and then forget about the acting. I watched BOF and PK several times. He must have cast a spell on me, haha.

And I heard that he has been diligently taking acting class and studying the script, so his acting will get better this time. I believe this guy can do anything. Look at how weak a singer before going solo and how decent it is now, it is almost unbelievable. This guy tried his utmost and I believe he can do it.

This drama seems my type, hot guys, dark and action-packed, invested (shooting in many countries)...another IRIS?

my prediction for this drama is a total failure. just my 2cent, hate it if you want.

a) khj acting (i can't even bear to finish playful kiss even i looooove him to death)

b) jung yumi just an average actress but dear!you need to speak clearly

c) lie to me script writer-whatever the name was. a major factor for this drama to suck. have you ever watch a drama where you try to skip almost every scene? i swear i have

but hey, GOOD LUCK....

It's time for a City Hunter sequel, methinks. Instead of pink pants, LMH could wear nave blue ones, and the prosecutor will have to turn out to have magically survived, so that they can hide from the authorities together and have an epic male friendship. Yay?

Wtp how many acting geniuses do we have here.. Criticising before the show even begins filming.. Seems like there are many fortune tellers here..

From the comments, you would think there was a gun pointed at your head to watch. If you don't like it, don't watch it. But please get off the actor/actress/writer/producer and whatever else bashing bandwagon. If you wish to criticize, at least give an objective one that is not blinded by your prejudice; that would make your comments sound less like a whinge.

So happyyyyy my Yellow Hair is back!!!!! *plays violin madly* I've been waiting for forever for him to act since Playful Kiss. I loved PK, and I think he has improved tremendously since BOF, and I have high hopes for this one. And if he's wooden, who cares? I love, love, love KHJ!

Sometimes, I have to remind my self that they're just acting out these parts not really these people. It will be nice to see this pretty actress get a chance to be one of the "good guys" this time around...

Sound interesting. Me live badass drama. I can't wait.

okay so i read all these comments very precisely... and i have to admit that i agree with most of you.. I hated lie to me.. RTP girl is OKAY.. couldnt they have gotten a more A listed actress or somthin.. so if KHJ couldnt act properly.. which i think he wouldnt.. or he might .. who knows... could ACT instead.

wel... we'll see.. i 'll give it a try ... and drool over KHJ before i m totally out of it

When it comes to KHJ, he should definitely throw that "challenging role" mindset out of the window. I don't care if he's playing a character that's an exact replica of his real life persona, I'd still lap it up because I KNOW he's a humorous guy. Just don't give me any more of that shoddy "cold" character, or the whole "taking on a role that's outside of my comfort zone because I want to be recognized as a serious actor." I know he hasn't had much experience under the belt yet so it may be harsh of me to say this, but he's proven that he absolutely cannot handle it. He should learn to do what he's good at first - the funny, cheery types - and only then should he try to stretch his skills a bit and take up other challenges. It's just a shame there are many actors out there who are better qualified for the role, yet it's only handed out to the popular idol.

Not sure what the huge fuss is about KHJ or LMH as "ruin"-ers, but I've shown Boys Before Flowers to 7 different people and they've all LOVED it BECAUSE of LMH and KHJ. I feel the same. Maybe it's an American thing...

I can't wait to see KHJ in an action role! So excited! And I liked Jung Yumi in RTP - for some reason kept wanting her to be redeemable despite all of her mistakes.

Their acting roles speak for themselves. No one is bashing this looks like a disaster waiting to happen. just because you have a huge fanbase doesn't mean people will keep watching crap drama's or watching you in it.

Jung Yumi worked with one of the best actresses in RTP why is she rushing to be a lead? After watching RTP it's clear she is not ready. The lisp is annoying , the expressions, and she always is typecast because she does nothing with her range or look anything but the pretty girl.It's not bashing it's the truth . You hated that character so bad but mainly because to me half the time she wasn't even needed in some of the storyline. J3 should have been more of a focus.

Now I feel bad for KHJ because if she is the lead no one is going to even give him or this drama a chance except his fans. I hope he worked hard because he will need it.When you do comeback drama's you pick actresses that are either unknown or were fierce as the 2nd lead. And sorry to say she wasn't.I hope to see range from her in future because I know she is close enough to some of her Unni's that they definitely will help her become a better actress.

KHJ is a man who puts his soul into everything he does.

Looks to me like some of the comments above is just a biased statement from the hate she played as Hong Sena. I thought she played her character well, the fact that most people hate her ass extends to the fact that she did play it well.

If you're gonna talk about appearance (seriously lisp?) for being the reason for the hate, you're doing it wrong.

I somewhat agree that she might not be the best role as the lead, but I think she can handle it well, if given the chance.
