Regardless of what fans are saying - most idols can't act.

I used to be an avid fan of K-drama, I used to respect it, until I was tortured watching K-idols's "trying hard acting" in 16 episodes. Then, I learned that I was not the only one as most of my friends have switched to Japanese dramas and I watched Rich Man, Poor Woman with merely 11 episodes and I like it.

The most recent K-drama I watched was Flower Boy Next Door but only until the 12th episode because the last four the script was dragging as though there was a different writer in the last four. But what glued me to FBND was the Yoon Shi Yoon and Park Shin Hye and others too.

I believe that K-drama industry must get their act together. The appeal of K-drama overseas is losing for reasons such as poor acting (tortuous in fact), casting (sometimes, the mother is too young to be cast as a mother and the actors ability are not at par with the role they are acting - another torture), script writing (they now lack artistry - most are dependent on a week-to-week viewership rating and I tend to perceive that there is really no tangible script, if there is it is limited to 5 episodes only) and in this digital age my choices are varied from almost every country. I switched off K-dramas, and I switched on other choices.

I have watched the Yong Hwa act. Compared with Hongki - an idol and also a talent of FNC - HongKi is way way way better than all the other talents of FNC, YH is a talented composer and musician, that's where his talent is - in terms of voice, Hongki is also way better. For idols, they have to look at themselves realistically and accept their strengths and weaknesses, same with their agencies who have to "mature" in this area.

The headline is not right. Yong Hwa did not quit, the production company and scriptwriter did not agree with the demands of FNC so the negotiation and potential contract agreement broke down. Therefore, Yong Hwa was not cast. He did not quit. They were shown the door.

Sorry I'm not that sad about him giving up the role...

i am actually really happy about this. not that i don't like him...but it will be nice to see someone new vying for Shin-hye's attention.

I'm sorry for him and his reputation but this is the best news for me !!!
Yes
Now no idol for the 2nd lead please

I've always liked him, I don't know why. Hope he picks up another project.

I love your voice and i love you on variety shows but i am so happy you wont be in this drama

uh oh, he might regret this one.

Please please pleeease let it Min Ho and Min Ho or Min Ho and Il Woo. With the right haircut Il Woo makes for a fine teenager.

I love his choice. Good Job Yong hwa!!!!
Let the opportunity go to a young talented actor. I would like to see some new faces.

his withdrewal is not because 1+1 package deal
it's really because difference opinion of the character
fnc request hwadam to change yonghwa character
and a bigger party in this drama didn't favor yonghwa as 2nd lead

I wish for a better show for JYH!!!! He is already good in his art and he just needs to work on the acting part and he should showcase that in his next show even with without PSH this time..... Don't get me wrong I do love them both and to be together too... :)

Now I am wondering who they will choose as the second actor!!

truth 2 be told he is not a good actor but of course a good singer,he shouldn't have made the mistake of accepting the offer right from the word go!!
I hope THIS TIME they will choose the right person and DO NOT give grounds for critical comments!!

Praise the Drama Lords & for JYH for wising up !
There must have been enuf ruffled feathers,
in the netizen world, over this 'too much-too soon' tie-up for them to reconsider.
Will be glad to see/hear them doing what they do best...Apart.

I hope he gets replace with an actor and not an idol! Although I shouldn't really care considering we have already go Lee Min-Ho! Super excited for this drama!!

I think it will prove to be a good move for him. In fact, I hope LMH pulls out too. The story is just so uninteresting although the writer has written big hits. Even if they act well enough, there is no breakthrough from a perspective of an actor. How long does one want to play a student? Just cast some younger but good actors so that it can be their breakout role. Yong-hwa and LMH should take roles that make people sit up and kill all criticism.

I am so excited,I am also happy that YJH made good decision,his acting is not good.
I wanna know who will be chosen?
for sure they are not gonna decide soon and it means I gotta wait 2 hear about that.please choose a good actor.
but since LEE MIN HO is the main actor I DEFINITELY WILL WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!

why some keep on prejudging?
what's wrong with a high school drama?
what do you know about the plot?
"Boys over flowers" is also a high school drama BUT the plot is very mind blowing!
the very first episodes were in high school but they did not show the boring classes and problems of students with their teachers and others of that kind!!

the plot is awesome,the drama "boys over flowers" was broadcast in 19 countries.

now when you check the profile of "boys over flowers" in dramawiki you can see that the genre is "high school" BUT THEY ONLY CARRIED THE AGE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. a lot of things happen in this drama apart from those boring ones at high school!!!

I think he needs to do more acting workshop maybe he should start by having small parts in a movie he is popular now so I feel getting a second lead in a drama is not a good idea...

Actually I feel he would benefit tremendously if he would get a part in RUnningman but I RM is solid already just wait until it ends hehehe and jump where Yojaesuk next variety show

wanna who they will choose,I cannot wait 2 hear.
come 2 think of it,choosing the cast really is hard and demanding,they should choose properly so they will get a good feedback.
they had been thinking long and hard 2 choose the second actor and now AGAIN AND AGAIN they should search for a good choice,I am HAPPY that he has dropped out becuase he does not have acting aptitude!!
BUT I am wondering who will be selected,HOW ABOUT THE SECOND ACTRESS!!???
they have revealed so little about the drama,a die-hard and devoted MINOZ like can hardly wait.
I have been expectantly waiting 2 hear about LMH's new drama.I gotta wait till October!!

I think it is a good career move for him......, His acting isn't exactly mind blowing so acting opposing LMH n PSH would have showed him at his lamest............. I DO LOVE HIS MUSIC, THOUGH

Oh well...I am a CN Blue fan and I would consider this good news. He can concentrate on a world tour and produce more excellent songs =D He can take on new dramas when there are better roles. For now, cameos? =D

I TOTALLY disagree with your opinion!!! Jung Yong Hwa is a great actor and has spark-filled emotion filled with his hard work. I'm sorry, but I think PSH doesn't belong there, in my opinion, she should get better roles with rookies. Lee Min Ho is too professional of an actor for her, maybe both. Still all of them are hardworking, beautiful idols. I don't think you should think so lowly of JYH, who are you to criticize and discriminate him, really go get a life. Thank You :) I hope you didn't take this the wrong way.

I was happy because Yong Hwa and Shin Hye are considered one of the most couple most likely compatible even on abd off screen, but he suddenly quit. He had his resons to decide not to be in it. Minho is one of my few faves. Now, I recognized Yong Hwa from " You're So Beautiful". And I like him now. Hopefully, after his tour, He will have a new project.. Yong Hwa is awesome when he sings and OMG! When he is playing his guitar:-). Encore (rock).

I read all of the comments, and I agree with most of them. I'm a fan of CNBlue, but Yonghwa's company should've considered everything before releasing an official announcement. As much as I love Yonghwa's charisma and music, I also agree that his acting is not on par with Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye. I wish the best for him on his tour and upcoming schedule.
On another note, I'm extremely excited for this drama since it's Lee Min Ho's next drama after 'Faith'! ^^ The casting for the second lead will be a topic to discuss until he's casted; I love all the hype for unknown second lead! Hopefully his acting will be on par with the main pair and bring the ratings up during broadcast!
On the second lead casting, I don't think they'll cast any actor that has previously worked with Park Shin Hye or Lee Min Ho to avoid reminders of other dramas series.
If they decide to cast an idol, please let him be a decent actor.

I'm glad too this happened! I'm sure this will all be for the better, especially since it might be given to someone who's main career is acting!

I am very very happy that beloved JYH made a wise decision and quit.
I also am very very very excited 2 watch this drama!!
I cannot wait 2 watch LMH's new drama.
I am so happy that it is like "Boys over flowers"!!!
another "Boys over flowers" is AWESOME AND PERFECT!!!!
the time while I was watching "Boys over flowers" I got electrified by every scene of it!
It is the best series I HAVE EVER EVER watched in my life.
who ever I have asked is an avid supporter of "Boys over flowers"
NOW AGAIN I CAN feel that excitement once again!!!!!

I am relieved. I hope I don't eat my words when we find out who his replacement is.

"Jung Il Woo" is a GOOD choice for the second actor!!

“Jung Il Woo” is a GOOD choice for the second actor!!

even in REAL life "Lee min ho" & "Jung Il Woo" are best friends.

I believe they have chemistry.he also is a GOOD actor.I am sure he can pull off the character.

It is way cool 2 have sensation about this drama and make wild guesses!!
this drama is gonna be way COOL!!

no news about the second actor!!Not even rumors!!
I don't think I should check for new pieces of news 4 a while.
COME 2 THINK OF IT,choosing the cast really is hard.
NOT EVEN A SINGLE actor crosses my mind!!
the cast agency of the drama "that winter the wind blows" did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY SHOULD leave this 2 them.

after long thought they decided 2 choose JYH and now again they should think of s.o else.
I HOPE THEY WILL CHOOSE A GREAT ACTOR NOT AN IDOL-TURNED-TO-ACTING!!

I strongly disagree! Jong-hwa has proven his ablities time and again with acting, hosting and variety while Park Shin-hye is an one trick pony. All she can do is the pathetic girl and honestly, I am over it. nuff said.

I SUPER DUPER ULTRA MEGA HATE THIS NEWS :(

Honestly speaking..Yonghwa is a really good singer and musician but his acting is really bad..i hpe he just concerntrate on his music..only Minhyuk and jungsin seem to have talent in acting..

It's funny people criticize his acting yet remember his roles so well, he certainly made an impression with his acting. I personally like his acting for the roles he was given ... He doesn't overact & emote well. I am sure he will do well as an actor again if given opportunity. I certainly will wait for his new drama & I hope it's soon. His previous dramas are still in demand overseas ... Isn't this interesting, so no need to say nasty stuff ... He is doing fine without you.

Totally disappointed! I absolutely adore him and although he has little emotions it adds to his mysterious personality and charisma. Him in the same drama as lee min ho and park shin hye would have been absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to seeing him in other dramas because im totally obsessed with him<3

Btw I don't appreciate others looking down on him and criticizing him. He is very talented and his agency was stupid enough to make him get out of this drama. Y'all should go criticize someone else because he is pure talent.

I think he made a good decision. For some reason I just find it awkward seeing Yong Hwa and Lee Min Ho together in a drama. I mean they don't fit together. Lol! But it doesn't mean I don't like 'em. I think Kim Hyun Joong fits the role. Haha

I doubt it's even his decision. I hope the person(s) that forced/caused him having to withdraw will get their retributions very soon. I am ok with him not in this drama but to make him look bad & take the heat speaks of bullying. So sad because Yong & another member should be happily working on their drama now but's it only he is denied the chance. Such a shame.

I so agree with you. He tends to be boring sometimes and I guess PSH and him could be sick of each other. just kidding! :p

I agree. He's overrated and isn't the best of an actor despite his similar looks to Bae Young Joon.

I think it's better that it's not YongHwa because I don't think that he fits the role as a bad boy, I can't really see him doing the things that WooBin does in the drama. I think it really suits WooBin well. He fits the role. Hihi. Fighting Heirs! Daebak! :)
