This sounds interesting and I’m all for it, but I wonder if they’ll change the setting like they tend to do: from (what I assume based on the names is) a medieval or baroque Europe-inspired historical fantasy setting to a Goreyo or Joseon-inspired historical fantasy setting..?
Like how the ML is kind of like a parallel to the FL’s mother. He said that he even let his girlfriend cheat on him for a year, he’s “patient like that” and FL said earlier that her mother would disapprove revenge and try to forget it because she is “too patient”. [I took that phrases quite out of context to present a point, but there were a lot of other things said alongside them, so they’re not as they might seem just reading this comment. Overall both leads were quite sympathetic while sharing these things, and it were “I regret, but what can I do?” kind of moments too.] The FL kinda resents that fact about her mother, now she has met the FL who is alike her in character in that aspect, it’s kind of poetic, in the way that life sometimes is.
Anyway, both leads are strong AND pathetic in their own way, I really like that though.
I’m very interested in Kim Minha after “Pachinko” she seems like a good actress, and the premise of this new series seems like a good background for her performance ❤️ Can’t wait!
Currently being filmed and is expected to finish filming around mid-Decemberhttps://www.filmmakers.co.kr/proCrewRecruiting/26365093
Thanks for information! Wait, it’s not going to release in December then? The release date written in mdl is December 2025, but it’s impossible to be released so soon after the end of filming, right?
Yeah, I’m thinking the same… it seems like a new trend nowadays. It’s true that quite a lot of kdramas in the past could do without the 16 episodes (and have 14 or 12 instead), but now it’s the opposite issue, they’re forcibly shortening kdramas to be 12-6 episodes to fit in with the trend…
The actor’s age gap isn’t an issue to be honest (isn’t his character younger than Yumi in the webtoon anyway? Of course probably not 10 years, but it’s not something that you can notice visually - besides Kim Goeun looks very youthful - , so it’s not very important, it’s just acting anyway), they both look young and pretty. The thing is that the actor doesn’t seem to be that experienced, and from what I’ve seen of him he’s not that good, which would probably show when paired against Kim Goeun, who is experienced and is a good actress. I’m afraid that they won’t have good chemistry, and that their performance will look mismatched… (On the other hand I do wish to feel positive towards the actor and cheer for him, everyone starts somewhere and who knows? Maybe he’ll be really good in this role. I don’t want to be overly negative “just because”, but so far it doesn’t look promising…)
Not the ending I hoped for, and was really looking forward to seeing Ahn Bo Hyun in Yumi's Cells again. I thought…
Well, I like Woong too but this series is based on a webtoon, and although they made some changes, I’m pretty sure she’s going to end up with the same “end game” ML like in the webtoon.
Yesss Lee Jun Hyuk as a priest/pastor :3 I hope there won’t be romance though (as it seems that he’s playing a grown man and the FL is a high school student), and more like a mentor-mentee relationship.
Yes, you may be right! We’ll let’s see how it turns out.
Nooo don’t die your so sexy aha
