Oh. My. God.
I cannot even. So incredibly excited for this. Noona romance is my favorite sub-genre within a beloved genre, romance. Hahaha. Add to that this potential casting, and you can be damn certain that I will check this out.

I can so get behind this pairing. Please accept Taehee oppa! And yasss Yejin is back to my small screen. I hope for a well-written noona romance.

OOOOhhhhhhh, me likey!!!!!!

Great job.
I expect him to sign on this (unless he pulls a Dong Ha, and gets another supporting role).
I'm interested in this drama :)

There are no words to describe my excitement for this. Oh my god. Especially now when I’m on a bit of a noona romance high.

Welcome back to dramaland, Sohn Ye-jin! It’s been too long! So glad she’s doing a romance.

I’ve been loving Jung Hae-in lately but omg, I didn’t realize he was Baseball Oppa from Goblin! Mind blown. I only started noticing him in While You Were Sleeping and now Smart Prison Living.

Please be good, show!

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

What? He’s the baseball player oppa in Goblin? Had no idea it’s him.
Yay for this pairing! <3

Also, can we have Lee Kyu-hyung (Hanyang) as his sidekick? Their not-really-bromance in WPL is so fun to watch, and I’d really love to see them again in another drama. ^_^

This might be my favorite drama title of all time! (But then again maybe that's expected from someone like me who exhibits questionable judgement when it comes to food intake.)

I love the looks of PD Ahn's dramas so I am really hoping that the coffee shop she manages will be visually unique and not just an opportunity to run a coffee chain PPL ad nauseum.

So excited 😆 I watched Son Ye Ji in The Classic and The Last Princess and she has become one of my favourite actresses. Also I love Noona romances and the Director is an acclaimed storyteller. Hopefully Jung Hae In will sign up, fingers crossed.

I would totally love to see what these two actors can do together!

*jaw drops* he is THIRTY?
whaaaaat... I thought he was barely legal.

Yes, please! I am so here for this, here's hoping this pairing actually comes true! 🤞

This is a noona romance pairing that I can totally get behind. And I'm also super excited to see Jung Hae-in as a leading man in romance drama.

Thank you Son Ye-jin for confirming ❤ I don't think Jung Hae-in will decline this drama, because this chance is like once in a lifetime to work with a critically acclaimed director, unless if he really has other commitments and can't commit to this project.

Oh my God, my batman cop! He is just beautiful. Will he get the girl?? 😀 Then I want to see that. Also, nonna romance is also my catnip. Also: I am unemployed, so.... ha ha ha....this is something I could watch. Although of course I hope I will have a job by the time it starts.... 😒.

It is ok... one can always make some space for a noona romance 😍

Oh god! I´ve been waiting for this to come true since the first news came out. (Happy dance 😁😁😁)

I am so freaking happy!

Son Ye-jin cited that the main reason for her decision to make a drama comeback was because she had always wanted to work with Director Ahn.
I knew she'd make room for his drama and I am positive that this won't be a disappointment like "Shark."

I'm not that familiar with Jung Hae-in's work but I'm excited for him. This is a great opportunity for any growing actor and he'd be working with people known for the quality of their work.

If anyone in this industry who is known to handle sensitive/controversial issues with respect and dept it would be PD Ahn.

This drama will be worth waiting for!

Noticed him in Goblin, of course 😜, but would not have guessed in a million years he was a 29 year old playing 19. Wow. Looking forward to this.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Yes, I am obnoxiously happy! If no one subs this I am going to jump off a cliff lol.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh! *squeals to eternity*

Ohhh God!!! Yes please!!!! I need to this happen...
Dramaland God, please, I never asked you for anything (today)

I loved him so much in WYWS, his character, his charisma, i loved the batman and I'm waiting for Smart Prison Living to end to start watching, and he is among one of the reasons.

I guess for Jung Hae-in, when it rains, it pours. Good for him.

I'm still not impressed with him yet as an actor, this new drama might changed that (I still have not seen Wise Prison Living). I fell in love with Yoo Ah In and Lee Joon' s acting abilities under the helm of PD Ahn. Hoping to make that three in a row.

I cannnot believe Jung Hae-in is 30 but also happy because then my crush is age appropriate lol

I'm not a noona but I'll buy you any food you want, Hae-in! I really hope he accepts the role. I'm dying to see him as a lead in a drama. I need to see more of his adorable, charming smile <3

I was watching A moment to remember the other day for the first time and was just thinking of how I would love to see her again in a drama :). Also I am enjoying Jung Hae in's acting in smart prison living so this casting news is perfect.

I. CANT. EVEN. Sign me upPPPPPPP!!!!!!

So happy Jung Hae-in is more and more popular, because he totally deserves it. He's so talented and precious ❤

Thumbs up! Though I’ve only ever seen Sohn Ye Jin in Personal Tasre and Shark. Two dramas I absolutely loathed. The former, because her character and the writing was unbelievably ridiculous and silly; and the latter, because that drama was as boring as h*ll. I hear she has a flourishing film career and a great reputation as an actress, so I’m looking forward to this - let the third time be a charm for me, let the writing be good🤞🏾.

I’m more confident with Jung Hae-in’s performance and acting choices. I’ve liked all the dramas I’ve seen him in: Bride of the Century, The Three Musketeers, Blood and While You Were Sleeping have all been very interesting dramas.

I am on board! Noona romances are one of my favorites! I would imagine as well that he is playing younger - as two early/mid 30 somethings doesn't feel very noona-ie.

I remember when watching WYWS and being so (pleasantly) surprised to find out his age!

i prefer son ye jin in movies than dramas

but i like this pairing a lot , hopefully they can both star in a movie together as well

Finally, Son Ye Jin sign up. I'm abit worried before because it took her abit long for her to accept. Might be I'm abit impatient lol

I have to admit this sounds very interesting :)

I am so excited about this. He was super cute in While you were sleeping (that phone background of him and his crush's shadow leaning on each other. Awww). On top of that, it's a noona romance (which is my favorite genre EVER). Thank you JTBC.

Urgh! Why are ALL the good stuff in the genres I don't like😫😫😧
Sigh... first the medical drama from the FoS writer,now this...
Maybe this is a year to begin to embrace the genres I rather wouldn't ? *shrug
I'll just give it a go

Wow he's working non-stop. I discovered him in Prison Playbook (didn't really pay attention to him in Goblin) and he's just so adorable! He's probably the next Park Bo Gum. I'll definitely be looking out for his upcoming projects!

I've been missing my noona romances so I'll keep an eye on this.

Wow perfect casting indeed, i really hope he accepts the offer to star in the drama, imagine his first leading lady being Sohn Ye Jin! how lucky.

He is THIRTY???

I knew he was gonna hit it big when I first saw him in blood he was really cute there too XD

I almost continued to watch While You Were Sleeping just for him, so I'm super pumped about this new project.

Oh This is exciting!! I like his acting a lot and I'm enjoying Smart Prison Living. You have no idea how much I enjoy this drama. I love noona romance dramas so I'll definitely watch it

i like nuna romance. but is it only me? i think she might look lil old beside Jung Hae In becoz she definitely looked old beside Lee Min Ho in personal taste. I didnt like that drama much due to them looking little incompatible and story wasnt that good.

I really appreciated Secret Love Affair so if this is anything like that, I'm in. I'm not familiar with Jung Hae In besides the Baseball Oppa role so I'd be interested in checking out someone new. And of course I love Sohn Ye Jin. Would be so nice to see her back on the small screen.

Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food is planning to air sometime this year on JTBC.

Hope sometime is soon enough, can't wait.

Scene stealer he is. I gasped at the moment he appeared in court in police uniform with his hair gelled up and a hat, I couldn't believe there is such exquisite looks. He makes Lee Jung Suk and Suzy look like ordinary people.

I have a strong feeling that Subway will be casted as other lead role.
