Pick Up Sun-jae and Run : I'm so happy to see Kim Hye-Yoon in a new drama! Her neck will suffer with Byun Woo-seok too. Poor girl, she acts only with very tall actors : Rowoon, Lee Jae-Wook, Taecyeon and now BWS :p W
The Moon that Rises in the Day : so 2023 is the year of reincarnation! I'm not sure if the leads can sell me a romance.
In Your Brilliant Season : After the Blue Dragon Serie awards, I need Han Hyo-joo and Jung Hae-In in a melo :p

1. Why do they keep putting Kim Hye Yoon with men far and away too tall for her. The poor girl has to stay in heels.
2. This looks interesting and the pairing is age appropriate.
3. I love fashion designer dramas. They are always so fun and usually have interesting PPL, plus Han Hyo Joo!!
4. Kim Ah Joong, haven't seen her in a minute. Teacher dramas are always interesting.
5. Superhero, another one. We shall see if they are any good.
6. I still am not sure how I feel about the butt touching.

I am at least tentatively interested in all of these things, which is fun. And a time-slip drama where the woman is the time traveler? Awesome!
Does anyone know if Suho can act? I doubt his part is a heavy lift, but I've never seen him in anything. Other than music videos, I guess.

I watched Rich Man with him and neither the drama nor him were any good. The stuff I sat through in my early years of drama watching 😖.

Hmm, thanks for the insight. Maybe he’ll be able to lean on his costars a bit. Or maybe the drama will be so wild I won’t want to watch it anyway hahaha! I really feel like it could be amazing or terrible but might be hard for it to be in between.

Why did you assume (!) it was a butt drama?😂😂😂. You have a kinky mind!😂😂😂. Not every ‘behind’ is about a ‘behind’!😂😂😂

True, but this one definitely is! She learns about people/animals by touching their bums! Hard to get more butt-drama-y than that! I think @mayhemf has labeled this correctly.

I wonder too. They casted Han Ji-Min and Lee Min-Ki and then Suho... in term of acting and career, it's not the same level...

@Blue (mayhemf): I beg your pardon. I stand corrected. It is indeed the butt drama!

THIS IS NEVER GOING TO GET OLD!!!1! I have literally zero interest in seeing this drama except that it has Lee Min-ki in it, so I will have to. However, it will be absolutly no problem whatsoever to pay frickin' RAPT attention to every Dramabeans comment about it because people are just gonna have to say "butt" a lot.
I have the sense of humor of a seven-year-old who doesn't get out much.

You are not alone. ‘Butt’ is always funny. 7 year olds are not always wrong!

I love Lee Min-ki and veterinarian leads (so many scenes with cute animals) so I'm in, weird premise aside

I loved “Happiness” so much because of the pairing of Han Hyojoo and Park Hyunshik. I would so love to see them back together again in a quality drama with a slow burn but with a good payoff relationship.

I feel very meh about all of these up-and-comers. Maybe something will start sounding more appealing the closer it gets. I usually like Han Ji-Min and Lee Min-ki, I just think the butt touching is weird, idk.
