well good luck, is all. perhaps newbie director can be an advantage and bring something fresh into the game. no idea.

I love this guy, he's my first love in dramaland.😉😉
However, dude, I can't see an article about him breathing without everyone asking when will that '87 born guy enlist, so now even I am curious about it.. 😱😱😱😱

so basically I need to go into this show without any expectations

Don’t think Jang Geun Seok has had a decent drama since You’re Beautiful. So I can only hope that this will be better than his last few dramas. I actually wanted the h in his drama Pretty Man to end up with the second male lead - that’s how bad his role was in that drama.

SBS and this station's eternal love for legal theme dramas. Sigh.
I have not liked Jang Geun Seok in anything since YAB. No offense to his fans but it was sad that he wasted away his prime years being stucked in that YAB image and doing dramas with roles more or less the shadow of Hwang Tae Kyung. Glad that he's slowly paving his way back by taking on more serious and challenging roles. By the way, just curious why is he not enlisting yet?

I would've said something about his enlistment but I honestly love him so much that I'm just going to be happy he's thinking of acting again. I didn't exactly watch Daebak. Something about that drama didn't sound like it would be good and the female lead honestly drove me crazy.

I hope he's paired with someone awesome because if he even tries a bit, he's still amongst the most talented actor of his generation. I hope he's back!

The first thing that came to my mind was also isn’t he due for enlistment soon? Haha but nonetheless if he can wrap this up before that then it will be good.

JANG GEUN SEOK! JANG GEUN SEOK! JANG GEUN SEOK!!!!!!!!!! Yes pleaseeee. ButI hope the script is good and they cast a talented co-star. Pleasee. I need a good and RECENT drama from him.

This production has a recipe to fail. And a drama about another prosecutor (real or fake) and taking down corrupted mini systems (you can never take down the big one, not even if you are Chef Kim), it is not attractive for me.
I don't feel drawn to watch this. But I feel some kind of empathy toward JGS... I hope he gets to hit the jackpot with a true real good drama, or at least a decent and understandable character.

This is serendipitous. My mother was watching Beethoven Virus and I happened to stop by and see a familiar face on the screen. I can't say no to classical music + Jang Geun Suk. So, here I go... I hope it's good.

Yay! I really like Jang Geun-seok. The first time I took notice of him was ages ago, in The Case of Itaewon Homicide. He was so good playing both the harmless mask the character wore and the stone-cold killer beneath - and the transition between them - that I was incredibly impressed. I also really liked him in Hong-Gil Dong, Beethoven Virus and You're Beautiful... but things went rather downhill after that. ;-)

Unfortunately, this guy has long had a habit of picking REALLY BAD ROLES that offer absolutely no opportunity for the great acting he is demonstrably capable of, and that are just painful to watch in general. I hope he is now over his obsession with being a pretty flower boy!

I think this premise sounds potentially interesting, if not super-original. It really depends on what is done with it. But right now, I am just happy the role sounds like it might give Jang Geun-seok a chance to stretch his acting chops again.

Here's hoping it's a good drama! I would love to see more of him again... just not as a flower boy, or a weird martyr-figure who eats live snakes. Not asking that much, is it? ;-)

I love his noona crush on Ha Ji-won in "Hwang Jini." He was convincing as a Joseon young master and he looked great in sageuk garb.
Despite the script going to that h... place in "Jackpot." Jang did his best from beginning to end. If he decides to pick up a sageuk again I'll be there to watch him.

Irl I love his personality and cooking skills :).

Jang Geun-seok is a favorite of mine but sometimes it's a matter of choosing good scripts and he ( or his agency) hasn't always been on top of that game. I hope the scam-artist prosecutor role is a good fit, I'm up for it. Task Force 38, Bad Guys, and Legend of the Blue Sea were fun kdramas with similar themes. I'm definitely up for it! (Please, no buried up to his neck in mud scenes!)

Pay your taxes this time, JGS.

I see many people didn't like him in "You're beautiful", but this role was the rocket who made him a Hallyu star and definitely changed his life.
You may talk all you want about his pretty boy image and acting choices, but also you should admit he has his own path to success.
He was the first foreign singer which debut was straight at number 1 on the Oricon chart in Japan and his music career keeps strong.
The dramas he filmed were exported in many country and "Love rain" is still the drama sold at the highest price - 360 000$ for an episode. Any big hit drama claiming for this title - check the numbers first!
In the last years Jang Keun Suk also shot a few short movies as a director and they were shown on festivals.
He played the main role in the last film of Kim Ki Duk which soon will premiere.
And about the army - he will go, after finishing his Ph.D. as a film director.

Shame that JGS always have bad luck in his dramas because he can act well. While YAB isn't his best work, it was one of his most popular ones. Jackpot's premise was kind of OK but the plot went haywire with the number of times his character supposedly got lucky. lmao. It became a running joke whether he would be alive or not. I really hope this one would be a great one should he choose to accept it.

I am SO glad that he let go of the guyliner because come on, that look is soooo over. While he looked sexy af with the brooding guyliner look in YAB, maintaining it since then is just...idk....boring.

I am kind of afraid that since the drama has too many things that it wants to happen, the plot will be convoluted and once again, his character will be swallowed up by poorly written script.

Fingers crossed that this will be a good one!

Love you soooooo much Jang Keun Suk 🥰
