This sounds like a revengeful drama I'm expecting a lot

She pretty but.. They shoud cast two really strong male lead.

I don't think she did well in Flower In Prison either, I watched several epi in the beginning, middle and ending -her acting was nothing to write home about, there was a little improvement but not consistent - still has that one expression, same goes to her speaking tone. People who praised her probably loved her character more than her acting. She might be lesser actress than Shin Se-kyung in my book, with SSK I at least liked her in her sageuks and Girl Who Sees Smell.

PD is solid, writer is so-so, I don't know if I loved Maids or not, but I finished it regardless at times I felt dragging. The only interesting character until the end was Kim Dong-wook's character imo. If based on Maids, this is going to be a pretty heavy sageuk melodrama, and might not have many fluffy romance in the beginning. Kind of sageuk that I want to watch, but Jin Se-yeon might be a turn off again. Let's see who will be the male leads.

Well as long as they don't cast my faves...

i wonder how on earth, her and shin se kyung can get all this lead roles all the time, seriously both of them sucks.

So, the Sageuk version of Cain and Abel? Ouch, I hate love triangle whether it is rom-com or Sageuk. Anyway I watched Flower in Prison, I just wonder why people criticize her much meanwhile a lot of worse actress than her. I'm not a fan of Jin Se-yeon but I like her bubble charms (Knowing Bros Ep. 52). Well I don't mind to give a try for Grand Prince. It much help if same-aged rookie actors to be cast for Two princes..

Hmmm.... I don't know....

Incidentally, Flower in Prison was my first ever KDrama, and so I have nothing to compare Jin Se-yeon's performance to, but she was not good in that drama. I mean, she was okay in the beginning, but as the story progressed, her acting remained static. Anyway that whole show was problematic, so it could be a case of it being the show me, and not her.

Either way, we live to see.

*sigh* sometimes I wonder how all these untalented people can still get roles... any why PD's or literally anyone would want to work with them.

I missed her so much! I don't really like sageuks but I'll watch it for her.

Oh, god. When you said there would be a new sageuk, AND it would be a love triangle which is not purely good-and-evil, I got super-excited, because love triangles with a dark lead is my guilty pleasure. However, in regards to it being like Seven-Days Queen, I got immediately worried.

SDQ had every reason to become bad, but it wasn't. Every episode I was excited and thought none was less than what came before. Even then, though, I worried for the next episode, because I was afraid that THIS would be it, this would be the moment when the show could not carry some of its more silly elements. But it managed it with only a few hickups, and it carried everything with heart from both writer, director and ALL actors.

I feel like SDQ was a rare show that managed all that, and part of it was because of how the love triangle was made up. The brothers already were at odds, they already hated each other or were bound to hate each other. Them loving the same woman was simply the nail in the coffin that could never reopen anyway, and so the woman was never at fault for ruining the bromance, which many people are prone to blame the female lead for doing. Furthermore, the actress for Chae-Kyung was wonderful in portraying the character's naivite but dignity, and the character was not a Mary Sue; the world recognized she was pretty, but also that she was naive, not extremely intelligent and would not survive in the castle. (For me, a Mary Sue is such if the world bends around to make them look good) Still she never let the brothers make her into a chess piece, and even at her most humiliating moments she insisted on having agency and making her own choices. Many details that made HER and the romance the center of the story, and not the bromance that got ruined "because of a girl" (let us be honest, any relationship that is ruined because of a third party is likely to not have been that strong, which is why SDQ didn't have much of it).

For me, the one saving grace in The King Loves' love triangle, where the bromance was broken because of a girl, was that the show made sure to make it clear that the girl was NOT at fault; she valued the friendship of the trio, and even between the boys, so much she was willing to hide her true feelings to protect it, but it was the one boy who had early shown an unhealthy idea of possession that made it worse.

That is why I'm worried if this drama will be able to make a good love triangle. I have hopes, but after being spoiled by the Seven-Day Queen and Live Up To Your Name (after the female lead's abusive tendensies stopped), I am worried about having too high expectations.

I remember I watched Flowers in Prison a while ago, but I don't remember much with the acting. I guess the romance didn't interest me more because I didn't find much chemistry and I found the actors in the romance old compared to the actress. Also I feel the director's other dramas have some awkward love triangles that feel tacked on...

i don't want to sound mean but Jin Seyeon is not THE actress i want as lead in any drama. she doesn't improve at all. She got that constipated look in every drama she's in, both saeguk & modern. Maybe she should try comedy. who knows it might work.

Thanks God, many of my favs are either in the army or currently have a drama airing or set to have one... I won't let her ruin another drama for me. She hasn't improved and never will. She's a lost cause.

*FYI, I watched Gaksital, Five Fingers, Dr Stranger (dropped this one, it was the first time I dropped a LJS drama :/)

On topic : Bet, they will either kill her character off or the boys will run away from her lol...anyway good luck to the actors who will be cast alongside her. They'll sure need it.
