Seems like it will be on Disney+ in some territories, such as Japan.

It's possible. I don't see a reason why they would age the characters more than necessary, when they're both in their 20s IRL.

Actors in their 30s play high school students all the time, so I'm sure the other way around will be fine too. But I don't understand why they need to jump 16 years though. It's not how the story goes in the webtoon. Just say 8-10 years later instead? Strange decision.

The script reading for this drama took place today. Filming underway soon! 😁

Now officially confirmed as ML in Black Salt Dragon, production underway, release first half of 2025. Based on the description it sounds like it'll be really funny and a perfect role for Hyunwook where he gets to use his "irresistible charm as a chic boss and a free spirit who lives life following his heart."

Casting of the leads has been officially confirmed, broadcast on tvN first half of 2025. 🥳

Cha Kang Yoon from Midnight Romance in Hagwon has been cast in a main role for this. 🥳

The majority of people who spend time in comment sections focusing on what they don't like are miserable people, and they're always gonna be around. Nothing new, unfortunately.

They'd be silly not to have Hyunwook do a cameo, even if its a flashback while Shieun is visiting Suho at the hospital or just thinking about him or something. They know everyone's hoping for it. We'll see!

You're free to split hairs about phrasing if you like.

Yes, and that is fair, because romance is a bigger aspect of Itaewon Class than Gyeongseong Creature. But when people speak of "romance dramas" genre-wise, they generally mean dramas where the main plot is centered around the romance of the two main leads. Which is something PSJ has not done since WWWSK.

I don't care if it comes out August 7 or August 14, just give us a date already 😭

Romance is not the main focus of the drama. Which is why the synopsis on Netflix does not mention anything about romance, nor does Netflix list romance as one of its genres (which they do with all of PSJ's actual romance dramas).

You are free to make things up if you want to, but neither Netflix nor MDL categorize it as a romance drama, because it isn't one. And that's why this article is written the way that it is. It's based on facts, and not your personal feelings.

Clearly this person has no idea what they're talking about. His last conventional romance drama was WWWSK. Itaewon Class had a romantic storyline (even a triangle of sorts), but it was nowhere near the main focus. Gyeongseong Creature was an action/thriller drama with slight romance. This would be PSJ's first classic romance drama in a long time.

Gyeongseong Creature still wasn't a romance drama, though? Not sure what's confusing. Most dramas with ML/FL have some element of romance, but that doesn't make it a romance drama.

GC was very obviously not a romance drama, despite the leads getting together.

Would love to see this.

To be fair, KTL was widely watched and loved, and any issues people had seemed to be based on the writing, not the direction.

Pretty sure Wi Ha Joon is not in Gyeongseong Creature 2.
