King's Family and I are on a break until I can suspend logic enough to continue

Also LOL at your thoughts on the casting director...and I agree

I wonder if she has a powerful sponsor. She is a complete newbie in the industry with no acting talent whatsoever and yet it is her second lead role in a drama this year.

Why???
I am genuinely confused at this point.

maybe there will be SHINee cameos? that could be good. I'll probably try this out, because I try out most shows when they start – but her performance in Basketball is nooot encouraging, nor does it give the show any points beforehand. Who knows, though, maybe she'll surprise everyone. Hopefully.

Is her real name really Lee Elijah?

I know that Park Sandara or Sandara Park of 2n1 has a one unique name for a Korean.

Why??? :(

It's too early in the new year to break New Year's Resolutions - succumbing to torture/inflicting pain from bad kdramas and acting!

After watching Taecyeon in Who Are You?, I said I would run for the hills before I watched him in another drama/romantic pairing.

Where are all the "TALENTED FEMALE ACTRESSES" for lead/2nd lead/character actresses in kdramas? The men (young/non-idol) have a very deep field for projects.

Geez, I really enjoyed Kim Hee-Sun in Faith and was looking forward to another drama of hers.

To be honest, I think I'll only be watching this for Lee Seo-jin and Kim Hee-sun. Taecyeon is somewhat okay, but I don't like Lee Elijah's acting at all. Which is sad, because her character sounds pretty interesting. I just wish a different young actress was playing it.

He's the better actor of the two...which is very very sad.

Not a Taec fan and Eliijah couldn't act out of a plastic bag! No, definitely skipping this one!

I haven't seen basketball, but I read enough of the reviews to know I'd be whimpering in pain. My question is, who on earth thinks Eyebrows can act? Sorry, I see Taecyeon, and that's all I can think of is his eyebrows. Big eared doofus was already taken.

Gosh, I have to brace myself for this as I really want to see LSJ's drama. Couldn't they have found better actors like Jung So Min, Kim Won Bin instead of her and him?

and Taecyeon ? ...again !?
PASS

gonna watch this this for ok taecyeon
can't wait till feb. :(

I'd like to point out that the same person that thinks she can act also thinks Taecyeon can act, so perhaps a career change is indeed in order.

Neither of these two should ever get acting jobs again (although I onlymade it to episode 3 of basketball so don't have tons of experience watching her)

But truthfully I hope kings family gets an extension im liking that show and there is always tons more makjang mess to happen to that family

and KBS has finally another weekend drama, JUNG DO JUNG. could you please add it to the drama list here? it's nice when all the dramas are listed...

This is murder

OMG as a die hard SHINee fan I may just have to watch for the references! LMAO. On the other hand not particularly interested in this drama or anything that Taecyeon is in...

She is sooo bad. Her act makes me cringe everytime.

I wonder how she got a role again... Someone must be pulling some strings.

I do not know the lady, but if she is as bad as you all say, there is no hope for this series, considering her co-star also has the acting skills and charisma of a pineapple. The boy looks cute and nice and all, but he can't act.

'Age of Feeling' cast two bad actors to lead, this one is doing the same. I hope this is not foreshadowing a trend in Dramaland for 2014. If they must insist on bad actors in the role of a lead, at least cast someone capable with them to carry the show.

Casting two bad ones as the leads can often not be salvageable, no matter how good the plot.

Let us hope whatever bug bit So Ji Sub into acquiring a soul will also help these ones acquire skills along with it. I'll pass, but 'Age of Feeling' is one I want to watch and want to be good.

At least they are not leads.

I am a 2PM fan, but even I agree that Taec should not act. He is so bad, awkward, stiff at acting. I feel so incredibly bad for the good actors he takes the role away from.

I don't understand why the agency is pushing him in acting either. From the group Chansung is better. And I didn't see Junho's movie yet, but from what I heard from others he was good too. If they want to get roles for their idols why not try to get for them instead, who might actually can act?

Taec should just sell and design plushies, from what I heard he is succesful in that.

I guess I will try it, because I loved the writers previous dramas.
I am thinking that what can the directors and writers do when they stuck with "actors" like them. They can for example focus on different characters or sceneries, show other clips when they speak, you know not showing much their emotions, or they can try to limit the characters so that their lack of acting ability wouldn't be too disturbing.
I feel sorry for the staff as well.

will watch just for the shinee meta.

onew x taek please!

What's up with the girl has a sponsor, but Taec doesn't? I mean, there is much his company can do, and to keep getting leading roles when his group is not that popular anymore in korea than Japan, or his drama also don't get high ratings, one can wonder if he also doesn't have a sponsor.

what a perfect drama!
lead stars who can't act! lol

SHINee references is the only reason why I am interested is this drama. No other reason. Nil. Nada. P.S cameos please, especially SHINee! xD

The bickering romance story between the 3rd brother and the school teacher sounds great BUT the actors playing them......Very Sad Face!! If only better actors/actresses are playing this.

However, LSJ and KHS are the leads and RSS is in it too, all actors that I like so will watch this. But really the story of bickering romance just sounds so cute. Why does it have to be Taec and LE?? Maybe they have improved by the time the drama airs? Please, please let them improve.

Maybe they are hoping bad and bad will make good? Maybe?

Why didn't they give the role to Jo Bo-ah (Shut Up: Flower Boy Band)? I thought she was okay for a first timer. I'd really want to see her in another drama again.

But anyway, it's not as if Taecyeon's a good actor so let Lee Elijah be his partner by all means. ;)

Omg hahaha I never watched Basketball so I just jumped right into episode 2 to see how bad she is and she is just cringeworthy. Her acting is that of the kid who's just participating in the highschool play for extra credits.

She wasnt bad in wonderful days..
