Go Yoon-jung (Alchemy of Souls 2) is in talks to join Seo In-gook (Cafe Minamdang) and Park So-dam (Record of Youth) in JTBC’s new fantasy Death’s Game. Still in the planning stages, the webtoon adaptation is set to start filming this month once casting has been finalized. [News]

The cute Halloween vibe continues in the newest posters for ENA’s Delivery Man, featuring our ghost-seeing taxi driver Yoon Chan-young (All of Us Are Dead) along with his new ghost business partner Minah (My Absolute Boyfriend). The paranormal investigative drama will be coming to our screens on the first of March. [News1]

In tvN’s newest poster, the layers of Pandora’s portrait is being peeled back to reveal the real truth about Lee Jia’s (Penthouse 3) fabricated life. Her revenge story begins on March 11, airing weekends, along with Lee Sang-yoon (One the Woman), Jang Hee-jin (The Red Sleeve Cuff), Park Ki-woong (The King’s Affection), and Bong Tae-kyu (Shooting Stars).

You have done well, and romantic guest house look promising. However I hope the youthful era of You have done well has a Reply 1988 style percentage of the drama air time rather than 50/50 split.

Aww, it's heartwarming to see Park Hae-joon go from "I Haven’t Done My Best Yet" to "You Have Done Well." That's something we all want to hear.

I always look forward to SeoIn-Guk's dramas, although they never seem to do well, but I'm a fan. I don't know, maybe it's his face or maybe it's his voice. Haven't seen any of Park So-Dam's dramas, although I find her charming, who knows, maybe I give this one a go. Go Yoon-Jung found a special place in my heart after Law School, so in general, I like the cast, hope the story be worth it.

1. I will watch to the bitter end, even if it is garbage because of my love of SIG, however I hope it is good because I am PSD fan as well.

2. IU. I know I am in the minority here but PBG doesn't do it for me and he doesn't ever have chemistry with his FLs, so I am not holding out hope for this pairing, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

4.Romantic guest house seems interesting

5. Pandora looks like makjang personified, so why not.

6. Will definitely watch Call it love.

1. Dream casting if it happens, and Soompi and MDL are reporting that Kim Jae-wook also may have a main role and Lee Jae-wook, Choi Si-won, Jang Seung-jo, and Sung Hoon might have cameos as SIG's various reincarnations. Who knows if this is anything more than a PR agent's fantasy for now - but that's quite the fantasy!

3. Cute, but I still don't understand why ghosts need taxis.

Very true about the ghosts and taxis. That is why I didn't comment. I think it is simply a no for me.

I'm looking forward to everything except Pandora (no offense, Pandora). Seo In-guk fantasy? Sounds good to me. Period romance with IU and Park Bo-geom? Where do I watch please? Cute, ghosty love/shenanigans? Definitely. Romance sageuk insurance against Our Blooming Youth being bad? Always welcome. Angsty forbidden love? I won't be able to watch live anyway, but I'm excited to read what I'm sure will be wild weecaps.
