I want SIG to play every one of his reincarnations but alas. What a waste. Sigh.
And, once an actor catches ‘fire’, they seem to be everywhere. Exhibit one: Chae Jonghyop. Reminds me of how a few years ago, seemingly a movie couldn’t be made without Jessica Chastain being cast in it.

Good for Ahn Eunjin. Loved her in Possessed and Hospital Playlist.

Namgoong Min with Ahn Eun-jin in a saeguk is something to look foward to!

I read Death’s Game and it was an extremely frustrating experiences. I read till the end, it was like a car crash that you don't want to watch but can not take your eyes off. I hated the main lead, I hated the death and I hated the plot. Everything about that webtoon was unlikable and at its core it was extremely hopeless.

At this point, I am convinced SIG is hell bent on choosing dramas I would not like.

1. Will watch SIG in anything even if it is trash, and he has had stinkers. I also happen to enjoy PSD.

2. NGM and AEJ, what an unexpected pairing. Will watch.

3. AEJ and RMR, will try.

4. KJH, he disappears, gets super busy, and then disappears again.

5.CJH has one of the best smiles in dramaland. Plus PEB, who will say no to that. Plus the premise somewhat reminds me of Shopping King Louis, in that one lead doesn't know anything, so the other lead has to take care of her.

Dr. Chu Chu is busy :)

Park Hyung-shik blue dragon is visually appealing.

I love Park Eun Bin. I love Chae Jong Hyeop. I love Park Hye Ryun. And 3 of them potentially in one drama. I must be careful I don’t want to jinx it.

No. 1. I wish SIG and PSD all the luck with DEATH’S GAME. With the right casting it might be an opportunity for some unknown actors to shine.

I hope SIG’s sageuk HANDWRITTEN (based on the novel of the same title) is still in the works. I can’t find out too much about HANDWRITTEN but I have seen it described as a sort of THE BOURNE IDENTITY set in JOSEON with SIG taking the Jason Bourne character.

No. 2. I am also looking forward to NGM and AEJ in the sageuk LOVERS.
NO. 7. OUR BLOOMING YOUTH is on Viki US’s “ Coming Soon” list so no availability angst and I will definitely be there.
It looks like 2023 will be a fairly good year for fusion type sageuks rather than straight historical sageuks like last year’s KING OF TEARS.

1. Seo In-gook AND Park So-dam?? Sign me up. The rotating list of actors can be interesting, but can the other incarnations keep up with SIG? I’d have him play every version, but with slight changes; however, I recognize that’s my fangirl brain speaking.

2. Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin casting news can only be a good thing. While a part me will always grumble about the oversaturation of Joseon-set sageuks, there’s no way I’m missing this one. Namgoong Min back in his romance era!

3. As much as I want to cheer for Ahn Eun-jin and Lee Do-hyun, my real excitement is for the collaboration of Ra Mi-ran and Beyond Evil PD Shin Na-yeon. Now that’s a power duo.

4. It’s good to see him be so in demand. Kim Jung-hyun’s incredibly talented and it was a damn shame that ‘scandal’ hit him right as his popularity was soaring. I hope he gets that momentum back.

5. The writing will piss me off a hundred different ways, but man that will have some top notch acting with gorgeous visuals to match.

6. Kim Yo-han has yet to impress me in any of his dramas, so to see him keep getting high-profile roles is a bit baffling. Especially alongside an actress as prestigious as Han Ye-ri. Maybe he’ll finally break out of his bad acting shell? I certainly hope so because his stiffness and general lack of facial movement is unbearable.

7. I really want this to be good and more entirely carried by its YA vibes. Please have a good story!

It would be nice to see Park So-dam again. Death's Game was offered to Kang Ha-neul. I guess he passed on it. I'm not familiar with the webtoon but the storyline sounds like Netflix's Russian Doll. It sounds interesting, though.

1 - Seo Inguk has no luck whatsoever with fantasy dramas, so I'd rather see him doing something else. Esp with 7 more actors for the same role - good luck with making viewers care, because I really doubt such format would work in a drama AT ALL.

4 - would've been better if we know at least something about this drama offer other than just the fact that it was made, but anyway I'm so happy that he keeps getting scripts again (and his long-awaited comeback show didn't even air yet).

5 - absurd premise was fun initially, but actor does nothing for me and I could never fathom what people like about this writer.

7 - so that annoying arrow did cause some real harm after all. This particular pics would've stir WAY more interest if he was shirtless btw - what a missed opportunity))) Another very pretty hanbok on FL. She doesn't look all that convincing as a boy, but then again, when k-actresses did...
