I have a strong feeling So yeon will play an immortal (a gumiho or other creature) in this drama. Or maybe is wishful thinking. LOL I wish she will play a grey character, not good, not bad, something in between. Even if she will be the main villain, I hope it is a likable villain. One of my favorite characters are the villains but not the one dimentional ones.
I also have a feeling that her charcter will have a tragic ending. I am alright with that.
We know nothing about this season. I wish they will release more information, about the other cast, about the plot.

I am sure I don`t know many things about season 1. I will watch season 2 if So yeon will appear in this drama so I hope I will understand the mystical things without seeing the first season,
I know that Lee Yeon spent lot of time searching for his first love reincarnation but that`s his whole purpose in life along with his official job? I expect more from an immortal creature.
Acording to the first season he is still searching for his lover but I don`t have to see that. Everyone knows that and it was shown in the plot of first season. If they won`t show how he is searching for her lover`s soul in season 2 doesn`t mean it is not true. I expect to see other aspects of the imortal life/mystical world.
I don`t have great expectations but It is possible that he met another friend or a foe in this past life, actively participated in various human life's events, show more things about gumiho family. I don`t know.
I wonder if the colonial set up is just that (and the imortals will face other imortals) or we`ll see the story of them involved with common people and their events.

I know that in season 1 the gumiho brothers were at odds but each other at first and then they have clarified their misunderstandings.
I am thinking that the writer will want to make a situation where the brothers (being to the odds with each other) will collaborate. Or I doubt they will reuse the same plot from the fist season. In the hundreds of years of existence, they could have had multiple encounters and perhaps there is one or several other another situation that made them be estranged. That doesn`t negate the story of season 1 (how they explain the situation between them) they could bring different aspects. What it will be the same IMO is the love for each other (I assumed there was one), how the younger brother wants the aproval/recognition/ love from his older brother even if he accepts it to himself or not. .

Why pointless? I don`t see it what way.
About romance. I did not watch the drama but I read some comments and reviews. I kind of know what happened. I know that there were people who loved the romance and others that were not fond of the romance. IMO, it is nothing wrong with the romance but what is important for me is the story as a whole.
Now, they could bring a romance partner for Lee Rang. That is new and they could explore a different aspect of his life. I know that he had a friendship with a female gumiho in season 1 and people loved it.
Lee Yeon could have the same kind of friendship or even he could have another romance and it won`t negate the love story of season 1. I know people (who loved the couple in season 1) are very protective of their feelings. The fact that Lee yeon might have another love interest, doesn`t negate his great love story with Ji Ah. It is my opinion. Love comes in different time or aspects in a lifetime and not always has to be the greatest love. As I`ve already mentioned, it is hard for me to imagine a man, living like a monk for hundreds of years, denying any closeness to someone of the opposite sex just because he was inlove with another woman who doesn`t even know if he will meet again. He still can search for the reincarnation of his lover and still could like someone else, or form a friendship or even have some romantic feelings. It could be a friendship, a light romance, just people enjoying spending time together.
Because of the first season, the love story (if there is one) will be just a moment in someone`s life and probably a tragic one.
I feel sorry for the actress playing the love interest for the older brother, if there is one. People already don`t like romance at all (who did not like it in season 1 either) and others who dislike the idea of another love interest for him. It sucks to be between rock and a hard place. I hope is not So yeon in this place. LOL Let her play the villain. Everyone expects her to play a strong character.

I still don`t want to see So yeon in this drama but she always tries different roles/ genre so if she accepts this drama, she probably find something interesting in the script. I will trust her choice.
I want to see her playing a complexed character, even a villain or an antiheroine but I am aware I could not get what I want. I am not a fan of the supernatural thing, so I am cautious of thinking how this drama will be.
I am curious about the plot and the other characters. We`ll know more about this drama when we`ll have information.

No, they have not finalized the casting yet.

No, she has not confirmed. So yeon wants to try different genre and she has not done an action fantasy drama yet. If she will sign with this drama I really hope the drama will be good and her character will be well written.

The second season is confirmed. They want to do the third season but that`s not sure yet.

We all want that.

I don`t mind being more focused on politics of that era. LOL I hope the lead characters are involved in the story that showed the events of that times. I prefer that than endless physical fights.

About the gumiho brothers. Did they specifically show when/how the relationship between the brothers deteriorated? In the second season they could show the events that lead to the bad blood between them . I don`t think they will repeat the story from the first season. Perhaps they will concentrate more to develop the story of the younger brother. To be estranged and form a relationship to defeat a common enemy can be an opportunity to show character development in this season also.
Nice to talk to you. i hope I did not bother you with all those thoughts.

I don`t a mind a complicated plot, but I am not a fan of stories about the creatures transformed in humans.
Yes, I will ask if something is not clear. Thanks again for enlightening me a little about the concept of this drama.
Another question: What do you think, the gumiho brothers will have a good relationship in the prequel? Or they will be antagonists once again? I have a feeling that they will work together against a common enemy.

Thanks for the answers. It looks like it is complicated. Mostly the action is between the bad creatures versus the good ones. I can`t say it is interesting to me but maybe it could be fun.
I look up about imoogi. Some people were talking that So yeon can play one in this drama. We`ll see. LOL

I will not watch the first season but I am curious about something.
- If a gumiho is a creature who lives forever who can kill it? I heard that Kim Bum`s character died.
- What was the purpose of the gumiho brothers in life? (Beside looking for the first love.)
- The enemies were gumihos or other creatures?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

And some people are identifying Kim So Yeon with Cheon Seo Jin? It looks like they will protect their oppas from Cheon Seo Jin? LOL

Exactly. I can understand that some viewers are attached to the original couple. Others may not like her as an actress. It happens. But it's not her fault that Jo Bo Ah decided not to appear in the other seasons. Jo Bo Ah`s character is the fated first love . Nobody is taking that.
I don`t understand why they decided to make another seasons either (I read that the story is finished satisfactory and the drama was not that good) but that`s it.
It is logically to bring something new to the story. A new villain, a new love story, another development in brother`s relationship.OK. A great first love is only one but don`t tell me that he can`t have in hundreds of years of life a new emotional conection. Maybe So Yeon`s role is a gumiho who will challenge the brothers. Yeah, we don`t know what role she will play.

You don`t like her with Lee Dong wook because she played a villan in another drama? That`s odd but somehow funny.

Damsel in distress is not what I want to see her play. I agree with you on that. Let`s hope the writer knows that she looks the best when she plays strong characters. I wished to see her play in a drama with Japanese colonial set up. She played in movie Gabi but it was not enough for me. But I did not want to be this drama. Because of the supernatural powers of the male lead, it is obvious that he will get opportunities to show those powers, and they tend to make the female needing protection but they could still make a good role for her. Perhaps she will play a gumiho or an antiheroine. We don`t know anything about the role yet. I still want her to decline this drama but whatever will be will be.

Why she is not suited for the role? You don`t even know what kind of role they have offered her. I really really want her to decline this offer but not because she is not suited for the role. She will do just fine if the script is good. Reading about underwhelming reviews for the first season, I really doubt it could be any better. Plus, I am not fan of reincarnation or gumiho or other fantastic creatures plot devices. But If she will accept the role I will suport her.

I hope she has other drama projects and she will choose the better one.

It looks like So Yeon has another drama offer. She was offered a lead role in `Tale of the Nine-Tailed` season 2. Well, I like the cast and the colonial period setting but I don`t like reincarnation or gumiho thing. Plus, I read underwelming reviews for the first season as well.
