I'm not familiar with her acting but Rachel Zane is a character that needs a good actress. uugghh I felt bad for this remake already :( I'm a fan of the original and I just hope they do justice. and plss get a bad-ass actress for the role of Donna and Jessica!

"That’s about as optimistic as I’ll dare to get about Go Sung-hee, because she does tend to suck the charisma out of the room..."

Javabeans, I love you. No one draws blood with this level of efficiency.

I am a little surprised that the show did not cast Park Hyung-sik's romantic interest with someone that is of higher profile and/or popularity. But maybe this is the right approach since her character has an inferiority complex?

At the moment it is hard for me to imagine the SWDBS-level of cute with this pairing, and with PHS I crave that kind of chemistry!

Oh javabeans I liked her in nightwatchmen. she was ohk. She might surprise you in the drama, you know with charisma oozing out of her....

I think this pairing can work. I don't mind her one way or another. And I do think that Park Hyung-Shik will have loads of charisma and chemistry to share if it comes to that. I think this cast is shaping nicely tbh. Only time will tell!!!

If she does get cast, I'm sure his charisma is enough to fulfill for the both of them and MORE #MyHyungSikpuppy <3 But really, for me, in terms of Park Hyung Sik pairings, nothing--NOTHING--will ever top his pairing with Park Bo Young for me <3 <3 <3

"Records of a Night Watchman" was a fail all around. I wouldn't even blame any of the actors.
I like her and Seo Ye-ji and they both have shown great progress and I'd root for that.
"Miss Korea" was her first drama. I don't know what everyone was expecting from her.

When she is given a good role like in "Beautiful Bride" she does well. I'd watch her with Kim Mu-yeol anytime.

A bland role will just be bland because she is still green and she doesn't have someone like Go Hyun-jung's commanding presence, charisma and experience to elevate a bland role into something better.

We have a lot of pretty boys with no charisma but we are always so harsh on the girls.

I’ve only seen her in WYWS but I didn’t think she was that bad. I didn’t finish that drama, though.

I’m glad we’re hearing more about this project, though. It feels like it was announced ages ago! Never watched the original but Korean remakes of American TV shows always pique my interest, even though most haven’t been that great.

Go Sung Hee improved by miles in While You Were Sleeping; enough to make me hopeful about her performance in this role. Although Rachel has a pretty significant part in the drama; the plot is really driven by the chemistry between the two males, and Donna, and of course, the mighty Jessica and Lewis (he was gold).

I’m curious to know what actors would be playing those roles. The drama might actually survive and do well with a good writer and a strong ensemble cast.

I'm thinking GSH now in her WYWS character and I cannot picture her in a romantic arc with PHY (yet?) However, I can definitely see her having a platonic relationship with him. You know, them knowing they could be something (with feelings and all) but would rather stay cool about it because they're better as work partners.

No, no. She is an uncharismatic actress. Very very bland is the nicest thing I can say about her. Give me almost anyone else. Plese.

Don't know her from adam but she is eye candy and hot. If she's also intelegent and fiesty then she will ace the drama.

No Mother (Korean) on Kissasian so I'm left with nothing (except what I downloaded) to watch :-(

Yes, sadly, whatever the culture, it appears universally true that females are unniversally belittled. The only harsher critic of a female is another female. I know I have two lovely daughters: 20 and 28 the are mixed race Anglo-Chinese. They're close but still apt to fight like cat and dog. Men (sometimes) fight dirty but women (you've got to love them, fight to win) aka Why is the arts film entertainment industry (wherever you live) such a cesspool?

The PD is Kim Jin Woo, which I heard is quite a solid director... Should I optimistic with this project?

Is this meant to be Rachel's character? If it is, looks like they are changing the character up, but still keeping the relationship the same (Mike and Rachel). Curious if they are going to have 'Donna', 'Jessica' and 'Louis'.

I have only seen Go Sung-hee I believe on a Running Man episode, but never in a drama.

Who else said nooooo when they read the headlines?

I watched her in While You Were Sleeping and she was really uncharismatic and boring, probably even the worst supporting cast :(

I find it sad that many comments I read up here are leaning towards the negative spectrum.

Regardless, I have faith that she will pull through. At the very least, her acting is natural and not forced. I'm already counting my blessings that they didn't cast an actress with a cringeworthy acting (I will leave that for your imagination).

If it's about charisma, I believe that there's nobody who doesn't emote charisma next to Hyungsik. (I can say that because I've watched all his lovelines and he seriously is the king of chemistry!)

Wishing them the best as they continue to cast Jessica (my fav) and Louis. There is also another news before the end of 2017, but it was posted by DB, stating that Chae Jung Ahn is considering to play Donna. She fits the bill and I can't wait for her to confirm as well.

Go Sung-hee isn't among my favs and I won't also defend her acting in earlier days of her career, because she was really bland.. But she slowly improved during My Beautiful Bride, and I think her agency which also managed many great actors know how to find projects for her. Not only for character, but also find her dramas which she can act with many other great actors so that would be the opportunity for her to learn. She still has a lot to improve and not a lead material yet imo, I rather see someone like Lee Sun-bin or Kyung Su-jin in this role, if they are seeking for rising actresses.

More than the casts, I'm more worried about this remake. I hope it will be more like The Perfect Wife instead of Entourage or Criminal Minds.

I vote kyung soo-Jin? I liked her in plus 9 boys and she got the demureness like in meloholic...at least from what I’ve seen in the posters since I never watched it...

I was thinking that she looked familiar but I never really watch her anywhere. Then it hit me, she was on spy with jaejoon, wasn't she....... now i have bad feelings........................................

I only watched her in wyws but i think her acting is quite good in there. So i am excited when i read the news. But whoever she is, i believe hyungshik can create a great chemistry between his co star. After all he is the king of chemistry. I believe in you hyungsik~aa.

Any idea if they are going to have the same amount of main and supporting characters as the original? Criminal Minds tried and failed to do so. Hope they can manage.

Hmmm, I've only seen her in Miss Korea so it wouldn't be fair of me to judge her based on that. But I would have preferred some other actress to play Rachel. I don't know, I just don't feel like she'd make a good Rachel..
