woah that's a really fast comeback! i really wonder who will be casted as her daughter.. ? any suggestions?

yéééééy ..so happy to hear about the project again :D ..... Actually it's been few months since i watched the original version ...it made me cry rivers TT (prepare ur tisues people) ...can't wait to watch the korean version ..but till 2018 we gonna have to wait a bit :(

she is like the Queen of England: you can see her in yet another location before she even left the previous.

OOH, I'm interested in this one.

I'm satisfied..
Her role in Whisper was underutilized and sometimes made no sense...I hope this drama will erase Whisper from my memory.
I hope her performance this time will be on the same level of GG

I hope they cast Shin Rin-ah as the student. She's already been Ji Sung's daughter.

I really enjoyed the jdrama - one of my favourites. I know Lee Bo Young will be awesome. I hope they keep the drama tight - 12 episodes will be enough. I'm comforted that of late, kdramas are veering away from being all about the romance because that's one thing Mother was not.

I rarely watch remakes but I will tune in to this one to see how they spin it. I don't expect the subdued and poignant style of the Japanese but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It will likely have more 'omg' moments. Haha

This drama is still far away - i think the earliest we get to see in Dec or maybe in the early of next year. LBY still has enough time for break?

Can we get the kid who played Geum Bi - Heo Jung Eun? I am curious how little this student will be - but if it is elementary school student, I think she will be perfect.

The original show was quite good, but very, very hard to watch. I don't know if I'm up for going through this particular story again, but I do hope the remake keeps the focus on the female characters and the many ways that societal structures fail women and children.

After the break, looks like she's back full gear. I enjoyed her in ICSYV

Whisper was very much a no go for me, so I'm glad she'll be back in dramaland sooner rather than later. Not sure this will be my type of show, but hopefully it will give her some good material.

Ah, the difference between legality and morality. Old-age question.

Oh lord I remember bawling my eyes out when this drama came out. Ashida Mana was incredible as Tsugumi, I hope they find a child actress who can do just as well!

Before I congratulate her comeback (which I just did), can I just say that she is still looking so pretty. I'm happy that she is back in another show, after Whisper. Luckily, before she films for this new show, she still gets a decent break. The writer for this show has been said to be good at writing these darker themes, although I personally never watched any those shows.

Woo,so she accepted the offer after all....She sure is on a roll

My top picks for the role of the little girl:
- Shin Ri Na (Uee's daughter in "Marriage Contract")
- Seo Ga Eun (Lee Joon Gi & IU's daughter in "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo)
- Lee Chae Mi (Lee Joon Gi's daughter in "Two Weeks", also his niece in "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo" that he "married")

Oh shiet the writer for the Handmaiden??? Umm ok this is like a must-watch, if not a must-follow-on-dramabeans :P

I think we can all agree this is perfect casting.

Well that sounds interesting. I really like Lee Bo-young.

The only thing better than Lee Bo-Young is *more* Lee Bo-Young! Looking forward to seeing her onscreen soon!

Heo Jung Eun, please! I miss her so much!

I wanted her to take this one over whisper in the first place, so I'm definitely excited for this.

I really love her and Ji Sung too. The premise sounds extremely interesting, and I hope they tackle the question well and with nuances.

Is a loveline in this drama ? I checked original version on Asianwiki. There're so much character too.

I'm guessing they are still casting for the child? I think they must make Boyoung to act with the child for the audition part to see their chemistry.

Ooh this could be very very good. As a mom, and with a good friend and relative who are struggling so much to conceive a kid of their own, I get so frustrated and heartbroken when I see kids that are unwanted, abused or unloved. So I can understand the impulse to take away a child from a unhealthy environment, although obviously it will be fraught with emotional turmoil since it's illegal. I hope Lee Bo Young and the little girl they cast are up to the task and the wring lots of tears and twist my heart. If I dare to watch that is. ?

I hope they find a new child actress. It's always a treat when you discover new talent.

This could give LBY an award if done right. Rooting for her and it.

Do you know that the actress Mana Ashida who plays Tsugumi only was 5 years old when she did this drama?

What about the actress Kim Seol who played Jinjoo in Reply 1988? Is she still working?

Wow she was so good portraying a mum in God's Gift - 14 Days but the ending.....

She was so underutilized in Whisper that I dropped in halfway. Maybe the script or smth, it just can't get me to continue with it. The only thing I like in Whisper was Lee Bo Young but too bad that doesn't help in making me continuing with the drama.

I'm getting ready for the emotional ride !

Finally we get to hear some news I also thought that the project had been scraped. When news about this remake first came out I started watching the original just to see how it was and I agree that Lee bo young is perfectly casted for the role. As for the little girl I think it would be great if they casted the little girl from "Marriage contract" and "Defendant"

I recently watched bits of the turkish remake. It was really good until they threw the original story out of the window (when they ran out of the 12 episodes worth of original story material) and started deviate from the original story. I hope this one manages to stay focused.

Yes!!! This is the Lee Bo-young drama I was waiting for. I'm glad tvN didn't scrap it, and I'm always down for darker stories about ladies. Would be a nice break from all the Candies and Cinderellas in dramaland.

Yesss! Happy to hear she's still doing this project. It sounds like it has the potential to be a really good drama, especially if they manage to get the writer for Handmaiden. I need them to cast Shin Rin Ah or Heo Jung Eun as the daughter.
