Will it be a dimples contest? :p

Shin Min Ah!!!!!

This better be good!! If somebody manages to screw up with this casting, then......

By some weird dramaland coincidence, Shin Mina was also scheduled to work with Kim Sun Ho‘s Start-Up co-star Nam Joo Hyuk in another drama (https://mydramalist.com/48949-here), though a cruel twist of fate with Bae Sung Woo on DUI hiatus indicates that progress on that show will most likely be delayed. Even if she doesn’t work with both of them, she has yet another one in the works (https://mydramalist.com/30206-i-am-a-nurse-a-human)! 3 dramas in one year seems quite insane for an actress of her calibre and standing, so I predict that both male actors won’t get to act with her. I do know who I wish gets to though. (Clue: it’s the one I think has better acting skills)

Anyway, back to the show and off the meta: it just sounds boring. But then again I’ve been surprised before (am currently feeling so when watching Run On) so I’ll certainly wait for more details to drop before considering whether to pick it up. Being a remake of an old show, I hope the writer at least gets rid of all the dated drama trends.

The dentist thing is incredibly random and makes me nervous. I need KSH with a good script pleaseee.

Ooh I love them both so hope this pairing materialises!

It sounds like a same plot from the movie involved construction workers. I really like to see how KSH and SM will be having a construction/building skills (e.g. hammer time, sawing woods) and I'm ready to watch this.

BTW, I think it will be on Netflix.

I love them both. I haven't seen the movie, but a warm, humanistic healing drama set in a seaside village sounds good to me.

I swear if there was a handyman who looked like Kim Sun Ho, I would break everything in my house daily and say it was a sudden tornado

Christmas came early!!!! Thank you Drama Gods for even bringing up this pairing!! Genius/galaxy brained level of casting!!!

Seriously, I was hoping for him to work with The SMA!! But thought it was a pipe dream. So so elated tbh.

SMA isn't only a goddess, but she's utterly charming, sweet, and lovable. She's a really talented actress.

As for KSH, say no more lol!! Dude has proven his chops time and time again. He took the role in Start Up, & ran off with it in the end!! Their chemistry together is going to be electric and fire!!! She's very playful/flirty so that'll be a good way to off kilter his humorous side :)

Hoping Mr. Hong gets fast tracked so we can see this pairing!! And then possibly Link up next :)) One thing, I do love that SMA's character is a dentist (Someone self employed) and is financially and independently stable. Gong Hyo Jin said the reasons why her rom-coms work is b/c her character has a job she loves, so while she has that stability, she also laughs/cries about love too!!

DIMPLES COUPLE!

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shin Min Ah fits this role of the FL, even in real life. She is such a wonderful and kind lady! Beautiful inside and out : https://www.soompi.com/article/1444110wpp/shin-min-ah-revealed-to-have-helped-114-burn-patients-through-her-annual-donations-of-100-million-won

"Last year, it was revealed that Shin Min Ah has been making yearly donations of 100 million won (approximately $91,400) since 2015 to the Hallym Burn Foundation. It’s said that she decided to make donations to help patients with burn injuries when she found out that they receive less attention from society than other groups of people in need."

"Recently, it was shared that Shin Min Ah has now helped a total of 114 patients to be able to continue to receive treatment and surgeries. She has also personally visited hospitals to support and comfort the patients and their families."

"In addition, Shin Min Ah has paid medical expenses for children overseas in countries such as Mongolia and Cambodia to receive required treatment in Korea."

Hallym Burn Foundation’s chairperson Yoon Hyun Sook stated, “Patients with burn injuries in our country have received a great amount of courage and hope through Shin Min Ah, who has actively supported patients with burn injuries for a long time.”

I will watch it.

Yay Shin Mina.
Check out Chief of Staff 1&2 if you haven’t already.

Yayyy Shin Min-ah's back! I've loved all the roles shes played! This couple could be so great wow. Really a dimples overload!

I don't think anyone cares lol, but I saw the film and it was cute (but not overtly so) and the FL and ML were well written. One thing, his fighting skills were never utilized or seen in the film. I saw more singing scenes lol. The dentist friend of the FL was a riot! Funny and reminded me of JJS's character in Architecture 101.

As for plot, honestly I felt like it was thin. I think that if this were to serve as a K-drama, it might be perfect for the format? As in more backstory on the FL's background, more delving into the orphan past (Yes again another Orphan role), maybe introduce the Grandfather who raised him as a supporting role (?), more on the two leads relationship, and probably more emphasis on the village people too.

It might work if the show instead of being a straight up slice of life show, becomes an interesting pick of the genre show? As in, Mr. Hong does loads of things right, so they could like they did in their teaser trailer, go into the wacky by delving more into Mr. Hong's alternate lives//hobbies. What if he gets into crime (They might shoe horn that in so people are interested), as a result of his action/fighting skills?

There's an American show called Barry, which is brilliant btw. About a hitman turned actor, on paper it's a huh??, but it works out well. Mr. Hong could be brilliant if they utilize his many talents. "It seems like he lives in a world that is different from hers" from the film's synopsis could be interesting/not boring, if they played with format/genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi8RJIS7L5A If this is just a straight up slice of life/heartfelt show, it'll be boring (Since Noh Hee Kyung/Reply writers aren't writing it).

As for the Female role in the film, she was feisty and confident. If she saw something unjust, she would call them out. Even if it means getting arrested. She slept with Mr. Hong 3 times lol, and she was mature about the responses she would get. I love that the FL in this drama is a confident and fashionable woman, who gives back too. I think it's good to see a confident FL, and I also like that Mr. Hong is a cool guy. He doesn't lay out all his emotions, but he listens to the FL, bicker with her, but ultimately opens up his heart to her, as does she.

Mr. Hong was a cool/gruff guy. If KSH is playing Mr. Hong, I think he would do great. It's def. not a Yong-shik role (WTCB). His character is like the macho guy (surface level) whose has a past that makes him that way, it's only the FL who understands him, and eventually thaws his heart. I'm sure in a K-drama, it'll take like 10 or 12 episodes getting there.

The only thing is other than more on the FL/ML backstories/delving into their professions, what else can they add on to make it robust? I guess more of the villagers (They just popped in to shame the FL), and I guess her dentist friend? That's why delving more into Mr. Hong's skills (clerk man, delivery man, live bar singer, fighter, handy man)...
