So NGM will be going the PSJ way with HJE?
I really really like NGM but not sure about her. ..hopefully I can grow to like her...but won't it be fun if a love expert is foiled by a superstitious fortune believing woman. ..though I don't want her to carry over her last role. ..ofc she won't. .but what if she does? So confused.

NO! Please no! JUST NO.

Eeeeeeehhhhh.... not sure I like this pair. I only ever saw her in She Was Pretty - where she overacted. A lot. I am very very hesitant. I pray she doesn't accept so that I don't have to pray she be good.

Omg.... It will be a reunion between our maroo oppa with his dongsaeng Woo Ri....and this time they are couple. Haha

It isn't surprised to see how many people are against this pairing, but I'm up for it. I miss to see Hwang Jung-eum on my screen and rather to see Nam Goong-min paired with the lesser actress, this is an awesome pairing. Hwang Jung-eum is good, and she isn't overact in all roles unless if the role required to do so. I have seen her a lot in between melodrama and romcom. I just hope they will tone down her character, maybe kinda sassy but not too annoying and over the top.

Listen. I love me some Hwang Jung Eum. I love her ability to just put it all out there in a role. Plus if she's wild in the beginning she usually gets more contemplative and thoughtful going forward and it's a transformation I always look forward to with her.

I was introduced to her in She Was Pretty--I loved her quirky personality and felt like she did such a good job in that. Luck Romance totally passed over my head so I can't wait to see her again!

I'm all for reunions especially the potential chem shown from their previous work I haven't watched can you hear my heart so I had no idea they were siblings but as soon as I saw Hwang Jung Eum I thought she might be connected to NGM in some way. I'm just gonna erase Lucky Romance and be positive 😇

I love her and I know a lot of people find her very loud but so far I loved her in everything I've watched of her, good I skipped Lucky Romance. This news sounds good to me, so looking forward to this!

Lol I was only joking it would be a coincidence if Hwang Jung-eum was cast as Jung-eum but now I get this news 😜

Lmao, i can't believe they actually offered to HJE !!!

I watched 4 of her drama including Can You Hear My Heart, i think she's good in rom-coms and the combination of these too would be good. Looking forward to it but hope the script is all good.

I also know that they use Hoon-nam for handsome guys with a real nice personality .

And.... Between all of those wired titles, this is now the most honest hehehe

"Giant" (2010) was her best drama for me. That show was the last epic show of its kind.
When the script and directing is that good then everyone does well including the child and teen actors ( Yeo Jin-goo, Nam Ji-hyun, Kim Soo-hyun).
She has been in some really good dramas like "Golden Time," "Secret" etc.
Her rom.coms were my least favorite. I don't think I've ever finish one.

I hope she'd do some serious drama once in a while.
Hopefully she'd get to work with the husband and wife writer duo Jang Young-cheol and Jung Kyung-soon again or with PD Yu In-sik.

The plot feels familiar but I can't pinpoint it.

I've watched these two actors in Can You Hear My Heart and I thought they did well together.

I know Hwang Jung-eum has her detractors, and some of their criticism is warranted, but I like her and when she's on she can deliver emotional points home. As for Namgoong Min, he's taken his career to the point where he surprises us with every new project. It'll be interesting to see what he has in store for us this time.

i know a lot of people dislike her and think she overacts and is too screechy but she's great when she tones it down.
She just needs a director who'll tell her to reel in it. I personally love HJE so I'll look forward to this if she takes it. Her last couple dramas weren't that great (especially for her character) so hopefully they actually give her a decent character to work with this time.

Give her a break. She’s good but has unfortunately been in bad dramas..

Am I the only one that doesn't like her as an actress? Or maybe I don't like the parts she chooses. They're all the same. Plucky and over the top.

i love this woman and i'll watch anything she's in.

After reading all the comments, I'm surprised at how many people feel as I do about Hwang Jung-eum's overacting (I thought I was the only one). I love her when she plays it soft, gentle and vulnerable, but the "zaniness", hyperness and - as other have put it - screeching and screaming drive me up a wall. I'm hoping that she's toned it down since her time off to have her baby, hoping for an understated performance if she accepts. If not, poor Namgoong Min.

Yay Hwang Jung-eum is returning to dramaland, I have missed her so much. I loved Lucky Romance, but I'm not too crazy about this character. In any case, I look forward to her infusing her trademark boisterous self into any show.

I couldn't get into Lucky Romance, so I'm glad to be able to see her on screen again. Both she and NGM are capable of that quirky atmosphere.

I know HJE is infamous for her screechy performances, but
sometimes, I do wonder if directors pick her sometimes specifically because she can do that screechy, over-the-top performance that they consider good comedy and want in their dramas.

I think she's a pretty good actress during those toned-down moments and in melodramatic moments. I feel like she conveys emotions very well, despite some unfortunate plastic surgery choices. Even when she's over-the-top in the beginning episodes of a drama, I know that she'll get me feeling for her soon enough.

I think melos fit her the best to be honest. She was amazing in Secret but it's sad that people only remember her by the roles she's done that haven't complimented her real acting skills (such as KMHM and She Was Pretty). I dunno how I feel about this casting...it sounds like her character might be similar to those kind of roles and I can't really see the pairing either :/

interesting pairing! looking forward for this. her last drama doesn't impress me that much, might be how she portray the character or just the lack of effort in writing her character in the drama. i love her in secret and kmhm anyway..

The amount of negativity directed at Hwang Jung-eum is disheartening, but not surprising. She must be an easy target because everything, from from the tonality of her voice to how she moves to how she looks, is disparaged. How is it that these people, who profess to pass judgment on HJE as an actress, only do so on the basis of Lucky Romance and 'CYHMH'? It must be only a handful of people watched Secret and Kill Me, Heal Me, because, coupled with Endless Love and She Was Pretty, there would be no doubt that HJE has the requisite emotional and physical range of a good, solid, entertaining, and engaging actor.

I love this girl.. watched almost every drama of her so far and looking forward to see her alongside NGM....

The louder she screams the bigger her nostrils get the more annoyed I become.

Oh noes. I hated what she did with her character in She Was Pretty so much that I mentally blacklisted her D-:

Just here to show the love. I love her. She is one of actress that grows on you more you watch. She is also one of hardest working actresses and i loved her everything i have seen except Lucky romance. i dont care about one bad drama though.

I've been a fan of Hwang Jung Eum since Giant and love her in every drama she was in that I watched (watched everything except Lucky Romance). Even though I'm more excited to see her in a different genre than a romcom, I must say that I miss her screen presence so much that I might watch any future drama she accepts.

Yes please!

The first drama that I saw of her’s was The Secret and I really enjoyed watching her act there. It was actually restraint and very well done. But I do get the concerns of overacting because she did do that in KMHM, so, I’m hoping this drama is more on the lines of The Secret because even NGM tends to go overboard at times with his expressions.

I was tentatively looking forward to Min Namgoong's new drama (I watched him in "Chief Kim" and liked him there), but I guess I should look elsewhere. I've watched Hwang Jung-eum in "She Was Pretty" and in "Kill Me, Heal Me" and she was a major minus for both imo. She was a bit better in the latter than in the former, but in both cases she over-acted a lot and was just kinda unbelievable. She took characters who, on paper, were 3D and flattened them into planar caricatures.

I love her and will watch anything with her, she is such a delight and mood up-lifter , making me lol every time,which is very rare to see in other actresses doing rom coms. I can say that her dramas are pure entertainment!
