by stroopwafel

Time slot: Wednesday & Thursday
Broadcaster: tvN
Genre: Fantasy, comedy
Episode count: 16

This week we’ll be getting a reunion between Life on Mars costars Park Sung-woong and Jung Kyung-ho. However, this time they’ll be adversaries rather than allies as they’ll be portraying the devil and the man who sells his soul in this take on Goethe’s classic work, Faust. Jung Kyung-ho is a successful singer-songwriter who has it all, thanks to a little deal he made with the devil, Park Sung-woong. In exchange for his soul, the devil (whose human form is a beloved actor) gifted him with talent and luck to spare. But as the time on his contract begins to wind down, Jung develops seller’s remorse and schemes to keep his soul. Along the way, Jung Kyung-ho begins to realize the full ramifications of the deal he made with the devil. Though he reaped fortune and fame, his talent was stolen from a once-promising young singer-songwriter played by Lee Seol. While Jung tries to keep his soul, he’ll be attempting to right the wrongs done to Lee Seol. Lee El will join the cast as the CEO of Jung Kyung-ho’s management company and his most trusted partner. Look forward to laughs and ruminations on the value of life.

Thank DramaGods, Jung Kyung-ho and Park Sung-woong are in a drama together to fill the void Search Query: WWW has left. I'm hoping this show will be good and JKH and PSW will have a comparable or even better chemistry than in Life on Mars (which is my favorite).

Finally! It is here. I'm sad that WWW had to end, but the sadness is soothed a little by the fact that its being replaced with a Jung Kyung-ho, Park Sung-woong reunion that involves Lee El being the boss of hopefully, everyone. :D This drama sounds really promising. Excitement.

Goethe’s Faust is such good material (at school we read Faust II, the 2nd part which is the slightly funnier part of the tragedy IMHO). Looking forward to the premier to see how it looks.

Years ago I wrote my bachelor thesis about Goethe's Faust and I always loved Goethe's works. So I'm eager to see this adaptation. And I'm even more excited since I like all the lead actors and actresses.
Please, please, please, don't disappoint us...

I have never heard of Lee Seol but I love Park Sung-woong, Jung Kyung-ho and Lee El. I truly hope this is a comedy as stated though. I am in dire need of a good comedy.

She debuted just last year in "Bad Detective/Less Than Evil" as antagonist to Shin Ha Kyun titular detective and was really good. I'm really amazed by all the great actors this drama cast, I hope the writers don't let them down.

Lol so you can look at the "Catch the Ghost" article for my comment on this drama hahahaha^^ I'm super excited, just hoping for not another Missing 9 Re-run. I loved that drama, but it was insane (do you remember when Jung Kyung Ho was wandering around in a trash-bag for a while? That was trippy^^). When the Devil Calls Your Name, fighting!!

To be Honest, i dont know the cast. I haven't watched any drama of theirs except lee el and i can't even remember the drama. I'm going into this drama with no expectations. The premise sounds fun

Pleasantly surprised. I just found out tonight that WTDCYN will be available on Viki. I don't remember ever seeing it on the "Coming Soon" list at Viki.
