I've never watched a daily drama that MBC has produced, but I must say (after watching 21 episodes) I'm enjoying watching. 120 episodes is a big commitment, but these are 30 minute episodes. So far the story hasn't (in my opinion) bogged down or gotten too complicated.
The first few seconds into episode 24....how cute. Hope the show keeps up the momentum with the humor without getting overly dramatic....show, please steer free of makjang elements.
AsianWiki announced a confirmation from Lee Joon on December 14, 2016. Looking forward to seeing Lee Joon in a role described as an egotistical, self-absorbed star.
A Dramabeans article states that Kim So-yeon (All's Well With a Happy Home) has also confirmed. I've linked the article which has more character descriptions included. Actor Kim Sang-kyung (What Happens to My Family, White Christmas) is considering a role opposite Kim So-yeon as her love interest.
Yoon Sang-hyun (Shopping King Louis) has been offered the lead opposite [the yet to be confirmed] lead actress. Update: December 29, 2016 ~ Yoon Sang-hyun and Go So-young (Blue Fish) have confirmed.
Read this post on Dramabeans yesterday, then searched and found the page here. Haven't read the manga or seen the movie but sounds like an interesting story. Will be following news and checking back here too.
Watching episode 14 at 20:32, looks like Jun Sang's (Lee Sun-ho) father is the CEO for PJ Group aka Papa John's pizza, lol . . . which is what I just happen to be eating right now.
Just recognized the tall doctor. He was No Min-woo's roommate in "Unfortunate Boyfriend", he looked familiar but I couldn't place him. He's giving great comic relief in his part ~ eye rolling moments.
Props to Wei Da Xun! It's so interesting how he manages to portrait two different characters with their own…
I've read up on the actor, and his first project was reportedly a Chinese drama from 2008. Found this site that lists information about his work. He is also the first actor of Chinese descent to sign with Korea's JYP Entertainment company. http://es.drama.wikia.com/wiki/Wei_Da_Xun
Watched the first episode and it looks very interesting. Was surprised to find out the lead actor Wei Da Xun is the first actor of Chinese descent to sign with Korea's JYP Entertainment.
Also read that Yoo Inna was originally scheduled to portray the role Puff Guo is in (but that's another story). Actually, perhaps it worked out for the best since Yoo Inna was cast in "Goblin".
Did anyone notice Lee Da-hae's cameo in the first episode (nightclub bowling scene)? I need to go back and watch to see her.
The actor is considering the lead in tvN thriller "Secret Forest" with Bae Doo-na (Gloria). The drama is scheduled to premiere some time during the first half of 2017.
