is it fair to say that i feel cheated? i was promised KJW..but now he "quits" the show? can someone, anyone explain to me, what really happen, or the gist of it....i'm so disappointed cuz i've been looking forward seeing him on the screen

I just get the feeling that KBS is kinda inorganise and messed up, thats why they cant compete with SBS which has all the latest blockbusters.

I was watching ep 9 when I read this news and immediately dropped this........Don't get me wrong! This is a good drama in every other way except for it's writing. It just couldn't make me care. And the male lead has a seriously weird voice.

I don't know what this vampire saeguk you guys are talking about, but I think he would be a perfect 'Chiaki' for korean adaptation of Nodame.

I am totally amazed by these events. In my country, actors, writers, directors, etc. never leave a show once they start production unless due to illness or death! I just don't understand why this happens so much in KDramas. I am watching only because of KHJ, but am amazed that a writer can leave in the middle of production, or be fired whatever the case may be. To me this is all unprofessional. Seems to me that the entertainment industry there needs more help and lessons in professionalism.

Bummer **sigh**!!! :(

I am very fond of Kim Jae-Wook as an actor. He was one of the main reasons that I initially tuned in and decided to give Age of Feeling (aka Inspiring Generation) a chance. His scenes were notable and always added a breath of freshness in the midst of all the other characters.

Kim Jae-Wook deserves a lead role in a drama with great writing, characters, a tightly woven plot, production values, and a script that stands up to time!

R.I.P. Kim Soo-Ok

I know I shouldn't be greedy but he was my favorite with SJR a second...I was waiting for KJW to be in a drama where he actually gets a girl...now he is written out or whatever all together?? There has to be something else going on because he was the character that was last with OK Ryeon (haven't seen this weeks episodes because I treat myself at the end of the week with the guy-candy), I want to see how they fill that hole. I'm mad but there are so many cute guys to choose from, I cannot say I will boycott it. KJW I think you are the best so please get a role where you aren't dead (Who Are You), where you aren't the second male lead who doesn't even get the girl when the main lead dies (Bad Guy), and have a decent job (Coffee Prince making waffles...I love you but it's time to have a real job Oppa). I can't wait to support you no matter what but I am waiting for you to get a role that showcases your talent.

I thought my eyes was playing tricks on me...until I blinked, and it was still true :( What in the world????

...But I'm hoping that this'll mean Kim Jae-wook will finally get the lead role he so deserves! (Maybe he has eyes on that vampire manhwa adaptation??)

As for watching Age of Feeling after all this chaos...I'm hoping it won't suffer. Oh wait, who am I kidding?? Head writer, now a second lead...I don't know if they can recover from this. Maybe it'll go all makjang on us or something, ha...I honestly don't know how the story will shape up after this, it's a damn shame :(

I think I'll check of it this show now and dependent on how it shapes up maybe resume when it's completed. God, I do hope KJW picks a winner next!

The real drama of this drama is behind the scenes! Im not watching this drama rn but it just looks so unstable... Even when the ratings arent bad, I Hope this is the last weird thing they do for the sake of viewers. I really like him so i hope he finds another project soon and leave this real life drama behind...

Maybe it's because the last time he was in a drama that suddenly changed their writer it went nuts. Aka Mary Stayed Out All night. Haha

Time will tell if KJW has committed career suicide with his decision. I seriously doubt it. It is one thing to write a review of the films and performances of public figures such as actors and musicians, but quite another to malign their character such as maligning their professionalism or lack of. The law provides for the protection of individuals from defamation of character such as libel and slander and his agency and the network, KBS2, must testify to the fact that he has acted within the framework of the law to leave IG. KJW is a professional and I am certain his legal representatives would have taken the time to go over the details of his rights before allowing him to make his final decision. This may be accounted the reason for the delay in announcing his decision to leave the series for which he had ceased shooting as of episode 8.

Aww Heads, I haven't watched the drama yet, just been reading your recap. So...my sympathies to you. Fighting! ♥

Ok I have only watched episode 1and I'm starting to get really into this drama... then I found out about this....what? Changed writers, no kjw...this is soo upsetting. Not sure if I will continue. I hope this drama flops. This whole production will realize what they have done. For not giving kjw more lines is plain stupid and sending im out. Failing!!!!!

it's kim soo ok that i always wanted to see in this drama. i just really really hope and pray that his next project will rock.it's fine for me him being the 2nd male lead as long as he appears in many scenes and shows yet another side of himself by portraying the role.
gay patissier, cool waffle guy, grumpy rich guy, sad ghost, indie band member..and now if he really is cast for the vampire in the scholar who walks at night, my life would be perfect..

Why is this web not uploading picture

So sad this drama has been struggled. I'm afraid that we get ridiculous dull story at the half of series. They cutting budget for actors and setting too.

I can't believe that they canned Kim Jae Wook of all people. He did so much to lighten up this rather heavy drama with his impeccable comic timing. My heart is broken.

I only started watching this drama and although I love Kim Jae Wook, but he didn't play much of a role in this drama. I mean other than being Jung Taes potential love rival, he didn't have much going for him. So for me, it feels like everybody is getting stirred up because of who he is rather than the character itself.

Well, I am glad that Soo-Ok character was gone. I hate men who covet the women of others.

THe other thing I hate is also the wrist/hand grabbing of women by Korean men. There were plenty of this in "What Happened in Bali", almost every episode. It is disgusting behaviour and if Korean men are like this in real life, then it should be condemned.

The producers should have no more wrist/hand grabbing and help to promote proper Korean men behaviour.
