Woah!! DB news is back?? And so is JB!!
With a SIG news????

Yayyayayya! 💃💃💃💃

at first I thought I see a thing 🙈 or this is an old post that shows up in recent comment because someone commented
but then I saw the date and it is June 10, 2018 !!!!!! It’s a new post, kdrama casting updates from DB by JB!!
woaaaa 🎉🎉🎉

Seo In Guk is back to my screen
double woaaa 🎉🎉🎉

Jung So Min is his leading lady
triple woaaa 🎉🎉🎉

yaaa JB is back!

really excited about this casting. I adore Jung so mi so much since father is strange and BTLIMF.
and SIG thank you dramagods!! KBS world recently did a rerun of the kings face and it made me miss SIG even more so this is just PERFECT.

The fact that it's written by Javabeans is bigger news than the news itself ^^' . Glad to read news again on DB :) . Regarding the drama, I'll give it a try for Seo In Guk. About Jung So Min I loved "My father is strange" and watched "Because this is our first life" but she hasn't convinced me yet, her acting is good but not on a wow level ^^', guess SIG will save the day ^^'.

Woohoo JB is backk!!

Not this news related, but I'm curious as to know what dramas are you watching nowadays, JB?

It’s so good to see DB news and Javabeans back !! We have been missing you !
I love this casting news, I can’t wait to see Seo In-Gook and Jung So-Min together back in dramaland !

I’m shocked to see some DB news! It’s great to have java beans back too. This is a pairing I’m definitely getting behind and I’m glad this show is finally progressing 😆

I'm so excited! Seo In Guk in a new drama! The director really favors him, haha.
I only worry a little bit about how the Korean audience will react to this, after SIG got an exemption from military service March 2017. Ideally, this drama would start in the first half of 2019.

Jung So Min is a carbon copy of Yoon Eun Hye. I get whiplash every time I see one in the news :)

Javabeans! 🤩

I think everyone's more excited about @javabeans's presence on DB than the actual casting news lol

How I miss these DB news. (Hopefully it'll be a regular post again just like old times. Google translating news from korean sites just isn't the same.) And it's so great to see you writing again, javabeans. The drama sounds intriguing, and I like all the cast too. Let's see if I'll be in the mood for melo-thriller when it's finally airing.

Since gukkie oppa is coming back, I'm coming back! 기다려 오빠 ♥♥

The plot doesn't really excite me that much😑 but the cast is great😊👍

😊

I wonder if k-drama will have the same shocking ending as Japanese original.

I can’t imagine Korean audience would stomach such an ending.

JB! A news post!!!! It's been so long!!! I could cry. I wanted to post how something was sorely missing on this site but I didn't want to complain, lol.

Anyway, I am super excited about this one! I'm not sure about the changes. Will our lead guy still be dark and mysterious? Is the innocence just a front? I'm so curious though!

Yay, SIG is back! I want nothing but good things for him and it saddens me how much flack he has been getting for not serving in the military, even though he tried his best and it wasn’t his fault.

This drama sounds like it has shades of I Remember You, which is a great thing. I’d love to once again see mysterious SIG in a tense war of wits against an older character actor, while navigating a scorching romance with a sassy leading lady. Can we throw in an adorable dongsaeng please?

Seo In Guk. <3

Jung So Min. <3

Park Sung Woong. <3

Luckily it sounds interesting (I haven't seen the original). And I love craft brew so seeing Seo In Guk making beer is something I didn't know I needed in life.

I AM EXCITED. Seo In Guk back on my screen this year!!!

I wonder how much of the story they're going to change? I remember KimuTaku's character being pretty dark, not unexpectedly innocent.

What a fun way to start a week, casting news about SIG from JB 🌞🍀🎉

Not sure about the story but my favorite dramas this year have been ones that didn't sound like my kind of thing so drama gods, let this one continue the trend.

I LOVE SIG though and like Jung So Min.

I read about the Japanese version, and I can't imagine they won't make some changes (or one big change, at least) for the Korean audience. I liked the PD's rom-coms; I hope he can give us something dark and compelling.

*instantly cured of all pain and suffering*

Ingukkiieeeeee!

And i am going to bet that they will change the girl's character to a neighbourhood kid who was his first love.. and in some accident both lost their parents..

they really can't do sister track for korean audience now.. can they?

Yay! Javabeans is back!

I’m a little confused that SIG is back already. I know he was exempt from service, but don’t actors usually lay low during the time they would have served in order to avoid public backlash? Korean viewers can be really aggressive when it comes to military service avoidance (even if it was unavoidable.) Isn’t it too soon for him to take a role?

I distinctly remember this Japanese drama and "A Sleeping Forest"/"Nemureru mori" were really intense back in the day. Two of my favorites - I see the ratings on My Drama List seem lower than they 'should' be but wonder if younger viewers rate older dramas lower due to the overall "dated" feel to them at times. Anyway, both excellent - hope SIG can pull it off! I think so!!

I could not have dreamed up a better cast!!!!!

**runs and dances with other Beanies**

Neutral (but generally positive) about Seo In-gook, but will forever love Jung So Min for Because This Life Is Our First, so will definitely keep an eye on this :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I have died and gone to heaven.

I am glad seo in gook is taking on a dark role again. His most memorable performance for me was 'I remember you', so hoping he will pull off this role as well. Just a bit iffy about the original plot? Hope they tone this down since I'm not here for an incestuous love story. :S

I'm so excited about this! Love Gukkie so much and she's so lovely! I'm not a melo fan but I'll absolutly watch for the ML.

this is exciting !!! I love these people!!!! I hope we'll get what we deserve with this drama...

HOPEFULLY SIG CAN BREAK javabeans' drama slump!

Hi javabeans.

This looks big, I can't wait!

Yay, DB news is baaaaaaaaackkk

From the description, I have the feeling that this Korean version will have totally different vibe to the original Japanese one which is dark and twisted. Kimura Takuya was so good in it.

on the plus side - they are all good actors and the mains actually look similar enough to be siblings; on the hmm side - how in the hell are they going to make this story work for a Kr audience? I have vivid memories of the original and they all scream no way... color me baffled.

This comment is late, but I was super excited when I read this. Been waiting for SIG's confirmation on this one. Jung So-min ain't so bad either. I loved her in "My Father is Strange" and neutral-leaning-towards-like on "Because This Life..." so I am looking forward to this drama :-)

So great to see you back, Javabeans! Hope that we'll be seeing you and Girlfriday more often as well as the others (I really miss Heads and Gummi too)! ❤️

I truly hope that you and Girlfriday just need some rest and have been taking a break from the site for the sake of your health and saneness. Really hope it's not something ugly and stressful!

Please take care! I'll most likely be lurking on this site even if everyone else left. 😅

As for the drama news...

This show really does have the potential to be amazing. Only hope it delivers. I know the cast will at least!

The Japanese version's ending made me cry and I was depressed for days afterwards. So I kind of wouldn't mind the writers changing things up a bit for a happier ending because of that. Also, I think that the original would be hard to beat in general if it was an exact remake.

Guess we'll see!

I'm so happy SIG is back *crying*

Wrong spelling. Should be "Takuya".
Sorry I needed to correct as KimuTaku is my favorite J Actor!
