I want to say please be good, but I've kind of given up, I will probably watch anyway though.

I think we have to accept that after Healer, nearly everything's been a miss. I can't stop myself from watching more wookie though 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The premise sounds interesting enough for me and I haven't watched anything of Wookie since "Suspicious Partner", so maybe I'll give it a try!
And in another news, Jang Dong Yoon is probably going to make a return to drama land as a cupid so that's exciting!! 😁

This actually sounds really interesting, but I've given up on JCW doing anything I'll like.

Ji Chang-wook, sigh.

Sigh again.

I had a lot of goodwill toward you after Healer, but it is all used up. You will have to get really good reviews before I take another peek at one of your dramas.

I will definitely can an eye on this project. On the plus side Ji Chang-wook, as part of a strong ensemble cast (think PRISON PLAYBOOK) of established character actors, could be terrific. He would not have to carry the whole load. One the minus side I can’t find out anything about Writer Jo Ryun-soo. The only thing I have seen of Director Kim Yong-wan is the film CHAMPION (2018) (Viki US) with Ma Dong-seok and Kwon Yul. You know what you are getting with MDS but I was totally unprepared for a comic Kwon Yul in CHAMPION. Before this film I had only seen KY in two dramas: WHISPER (2017) and VOICE 2 (2018) where he was anything but comedic. Subsequently in HAECHI I was not surprised at KY’s comedic acting. Sorry for the diversion.

JCW is part of the cast of the film HARD HIT/RESTRICTED CALL which was released on June 23, 2021 and has done very well in the box office.
Lee Jae-in who plays Se-Yoon in RACKET BOYS is also part of the cast of RESTRICTED CALL.

I am looking forward to JCW’s upcoming drama on Netflix THE SOUND OF MAGIC which is being directed by the director of ITAEWON CLASS Kim Sung-yoon.

The premise is interesting, but this would be so easy to do badly - even with the best of intentions.

The premise of this drama could be, well, interesting, but JCW has had a bad bad bad run of dramas so, yeah.

What I want to know is what the heck does his shirt collar say?

The premise sounds interesting, but I’ve been burned by Ji Chang-wook one too many times. Or maybe this will be his triumphant comeback? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Wow, he will have the role of a patient and not a doctor? That's a big surprise for me, but I could be interesting.
He could challenge himself with playing a normal person (typically with trauma,, yes, I know), and not a know-it-all... 🙄
Nevertheless, he doesn't know how to pick a good drama.
On the other hand, I think I understood this is the writer of prison playbook?
In which case, possibly the drama will be good no matter what....

I will also wait for the reviews first.... 🤓

ah… pls dont go the melting me softly route. ill still watch tho anything with jcw in it

Excpet Melting Softly, that was badly written and I couldn't finish, I really liked him in his last roles. In Backstreet Rookie, he really acted the most ordinary guy but he made him shine and I liked his character in Lovestruck City, the beginning wasn't top, but the second part was pretty good. It's funny because usually I like the part when the couple is happy and doesn't like when they have broken up. But for this drama, it was the opposite.

Not a fan of the premise, but I have much respect for the writer of Prison Playbook (if this is indeed written by the same writer) so hopefully this breaks the chain of the bad dramas JCW has been choosing. I just want to be captivated by him again. Ive fallen out of love..... woo me back, JCW!

Oh ye of little faith. Just because Wook may (or may not, since this is not a done deal yet) take on this role that is outside -your- comfort level, he does not deserve to be ripped a new one over any script deliberations. If he doesn't feel like being typecast as a rom-com lead or injure himself again in an action production, why can't he be respected for his choices?

Case in point: Taking the role of Jin-woo in "Hard Hit," even though you only hear his voice and his face is not seen until the end of the movie. Not typical of certain drama actors who would demand on being cast in a lead role, right? I respect the fact that Wook refuses to be locked inside a box, expected to repeat the same roles over and over in different projects.

That was then, and this is now. If you people still think "Healer" was his benchmark drama and everything else was crap since then, you really need to broaden your horizons. You may surprise yourselves in the end. 😉

I guess I'm not as picky as others. I first saw Ji Chang Wook in Healer, and loved him, and the drama. He became a favorite from then on. I haven't liked all his projects, but that's true of every actor. I think he's acted well in every drama I have watched: Suspicious Partner, Backstreet Rookie, K2, and Lovestruck. I want to see him in more dramas, not fewer. (I'll just skip the dramas that I don't like, after giving them at least a chance. !!!Melting!!)

Can't wait to see Ji Chang Wook to take up this role. Being a versatile actor, this role is perfect for him!👍

Ji Chang Wook is a superb actor. One of the best I've seen. Every drama & movie, he nails the emotions & character traits perfectly. He always seems to want to improve himself, & learn from each role.

I love that he always tries something different & challenging. He is not one of these actors that plays the same type of role over & over, which gets very boring. JCW will never be stereotyped, like some. He is being very smart & broadening his chances of a long career, by showing his skills in different elements.

I for one am excited to see this unique role, & if he does take it on, it will be a chance for him to push the bar even further.

Always support and love JCW💪🏻

JCW is a great and talented actor. I’ll always support him.

Whatever role he chose, he is gonna nail it. I just hope the script will not waste his over pouring talent. Fighting Wookie.

Interesting. This news seems to bringing out a lot of beanie's first comments.

I am a new fan of Wookie since Lovestruck. I actually went back to watch all his previous drama.

I am delighted to see his progression in acting and I appreciated his diverse range of portrayals instead of being typecasted into certain roles. Keep Fighting! 💪

I respect and applaud his professional assessment and decisions to expand his craft and challenge himself rather than do what’s easy, convenient or popular. As with all masters, they recognize the herd doesn’t know what’s best and need to follow their own passion. The depth of emotions he evokes with each character he portrays is honest, thought provoking and highlights the human condition. I’ve watched and rewatched all of his works and will join the millions all around the world who support him no matter what he does because of his sincerity and unwavering work ethic to always do his absolute best.

Oooooohhh.... can't wait for JCW to show this psychological side of portraying this character. I know 100% that JCW will pull this off perfectly just like he's been doing so far..... whether it be Romcom, action, comedy or as a antagonist.....JCW can play any role really perfectly when he sets his mind to it❤️❤️❤️ Hopefully this drama will air on Netflix New Zealand as well🤗🥰

Ji Chang-Wook is wonderful, great actor with heart warm acting!!
As his actor, he wants to act more better.Fans also believe.
I want to support the new drama, the challenge of the work of the medical story!! Ji Chang-wook can do it!!

To walk out from a popular fame image is not easy but Ji Chang Wook did it, successfully. He tried various characters without bringing any track of previous acting roles. He will let you feel that he were the character in the script. This was resulted from all his efforts and hardworking to build all his acting role lively. Recently he even played a supporting role with a very different appearance. He has demonstrated his devotion to be an all-rounded actor. On the other hand, he is a good singer and played in a stage musical. Needless to say, he is a good son loves his mom. He deserves our support and I give him all my applauses.
