Actually want Shin Min Ah to end up with Sang Yi here. This will be an interesting twist in the scenario, plus justice to the Sang Yi’s character from Hometown chachacha, plus, I just like this pair better visually, and plus I DON’T want Sang Yi to be sml again.

Oh god, absolutely tragic, I just can't believe it..
It's hard to imagine how crushed his family must feel right now, and how he felt under the pressure of the Korean cancel culture, the police and the media, who, based only on one-sided testimony and without waiting for evidence, immediately took a position against Sun Kyun and attributed guilt to him, and this didn’t change even a little bit after receiving negative drug tests, while after that the case should have been just simply closed. It's horrifying how important public opinion is in the community, in people's lives, that they take such a step.

I'm not making excuses for those who take drugs, because when we're talking about an adult who knows what it is and knows the consequences, it's mostly a conscious decision, but here is a different story ("I thought it was a sleeping pill. I didn't know it was drugs.") that hasn't even been investigated. And in any case, no matter how it happened, when it happened a person needs to be treated and supported, supported psychologically, and not given up on and crushed, as is done in Korean society, especially, while the charges are not even proven. As mentioned in the comment below: “This isn’t worth a human life. SK, shame on you!”

Rest in peace Sun Kyun and my sincere condolences to his family and friends. It’s just so frustrating…

wow! poster, so cute :>
therefore…excited! can’t wait!!

WOW, love it!
I hope they really came to the right consensus and don't mess up the script, but only did better to the project, upgraded it, cause the idea looks really interesting and promising, but it seems like it was because of these misunderstandings that the previous cast left the project.
Also, dear casting director! please! cast Moon Ka Young or Seo Ye Ji instead of So Hee - it will def be incredible! increadible dynamics and just an increadible duo;)

It's nothing, just my desire to see him with an actress of his age. They're both great actors and we don't know the details of the script - I wrote it right away, so I don't know what new you wanted to tell me. Of course, there are many instances and no one is against the age difference, even in the kdrama world, let's take “Tale of the Nine Tailed” - one of my favourite dramas and also with Dong Wook, but here I just wanted to see an actress of his age, at least because of the visual component and I just don't see Sung Kyung and him together in this particular case, and of course I'm not saying that it's clearly a bad choice - if she agrees, I sincerely hope that I will be convinced otherwise.

disappointed. even though it's unlikely to happen, I'm hoping that Sung Kyung will back out. I've loved Sung Kyung since "Weightlifting Fairy" as well as I'm really looking forward to this drama. However, I was hoping that in this project, Dong-wook would finally have a partner close to his own age, because even though we don't know the details of the script, I think it would be interesting, organic and appropriate here, so I can’t see Sung Kyung being the perfect match.

I actually heard that the main character has a sister/sisters, so it seems to me that Kim Yoon Hye could play Kim Tae Ri's sister, and Moon So Ri, who was originally listed as “members of the Women's National Theater Company”, but now her «status» has changed from a leading role to a guest role, will play her mother (but of course, this is purely a guess and like personal vision)

If I understood the description correctly, I saw a picture of the character "Mr.Go" and everyone (including me) wanted Kim Seo Hyung to play her, and speaking of Lee Jooyoung - yeess, that would be perfect.

And also, if I understood correctly who Ok Gyeong is, then I'm thinking of Kim Yoon Hye for her role as well. Yes, maybe for her this role as well as for Eunchae the role of Do Aeng will be quite different from the previous works, but, as for me, visually they are very suitable and they are very talented actresses who I think will be able to take on and masterfully play such even unusual roles for them, and then we can call it a cool transformation.

I haven't read the webtoon, but visually Jung Lael doesn't look to me like Bu Yong at all. Seunghee can be either Juran or Bu Yong. But actually I think Yoon Seo Ah would be the perfect Bu Yong, and Seunghee, as you said, would be the perfect Juran))
As for Eunchae, I had only one association right away and until now - Do Aeng. I couldn't find out who Mr.Go and Ok Gyeong are, so hard to speak about other actresses' roles. No one looks like Hyerang to me, but I think Shin Do Hyun, Kim Ji Eun, Jung Shin Hye or Choi Hee Jin, for example, would be perfect casting for her.

Still need Yeom Jung Ah, Kim Seo Hyung and Shin Do Hyun to be included!!😭
and maybe even just a cameo of Sojin, Jang Young Nam, Kang Mal Geum, Cha Chung Hwa, Lee Bong Ryun, Lee Joo Young,Choi Hee Jin, Kim Ju Yeon, Kim Yong Ji, Jeong Ha-Dam, Kang Na Eon, Yoo Da In, Kim Sang Ji, Seo Hye Won, Kim ji Eun, Chung Su Bin, Gong Min Jeong, Hong Ji Hee, Park Ye Young, Jeon Hee Jin(1988), Lee Eun Saem, Yeri, Lee Yeon, Jung Shin Hye, Yoon Seo Ah and Kwon Han Sol…

I think Kim Se Jeong or Han So hee would be good for HSY;

Jung Shin Hye, Seolhyun, Han So Hee, Seohyun, Krystal Jung, Choi Hee Jin, Kim Ji Eun for Lee SeolHwa;

Krystal Jung, Lee Soo Kyung, Shin Do Hyun, Kim Ji Eun, Esom, Lee SeoEl for Lee SooKyung.

Don’t you think, that So Hee also would be amazing as Lee Seolhwa? (already on my knees for blonde So Hee🙇‍♀️). And I believe, that Kim Se Jeong would be great in the role of the HSY.

As for me the casting is okayish, even great, but LMH.. just can’t see him matching the character, clearly too old for the role of YJH. And, I mean, we have Lee Jung Young, we have Gong Myung, Lee Jung Won, Choo Young Woo, Sehun, Lee Won Jung, Baek Sung Chul, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Soo Hyuk, Lee Tae Hwan, Jung Ha Joon, Lee Chae Min, Byeon Woo Seok, Kim Jae Won and a lot of other actors, yes, less popularity, but much more suitable for the character .

«I hate when this narrative comes from women or women see themselves in this way» - fuck, yeah! And it is this very patriarchal society that puts a woman in this position, in terms of the fact that her mother was raised with such narratives, her mother raised her with the same narratives, these narratives can be supported and picked up by her husband with patriarchal thinking, who was also brought up in this way, that a woman is something secondary, not deserving of special respect, a keeper of the household, a tool for the birth of my children - an incubator, their nanny, etc. (and, of course, I do not deny his duties and responsibilities in this family structure as a "breadwinner", "head of the family", etc.)

When I wrote that I did not understand the relevance of the topic, I meant that we are talking about cases of patriarchy at work, not about those families where the laws of patriarchy do not apply and women do not live in their patriarchal role. However, although I do not retract my words, thank you for the clarification, and I fully understand your point and agree that if we are talking about women and especially moms in patriarchy in general, and not specifically discussing the wording that caused me a negative impression and its situation and context, then yes, the topic is definitely relevant and the example is excellent.

If you like it and feel comfortable with it - that's again great and totally wonderfully amazing, and every family, every woman, every man should be able to easily choose the family role and position that is pleasant and comfortable for them. It can be an absolutely traditional family model, or it can be something antagonistic and opposite, where a woman will be the head of the family, bear responsibility and earn money, and a man will go on maternity leave and take care of the children, or there can be a story about absolute equality in all these aspects and many, many more different cases, when all of them will be clarify as totally normal and okayish.

Speaking of autonomy, even though it is a forced measure for you, it is actually incredible, because even though now it is almost a necessity, women who want and strive for it, finally have the opportunity to be autonomous, to be independent from a man and to build their life as they want(same as you), and for thousands of years women didn't have such an option and most didn't even dream of independence, cause they purely couldn't even visualize the world as we see it, think that it is possible at all, that it is possible not to be simply a willless appendage to a man, living in imaginary comfort (control)

my beloved SHS, tottaly exited, can’t wait!

woah! already in love with the vibe and atmosphere of the drama 😍

love the cast, but..
am i confused something or we already have one “Happy Boy” drama in process?
And the main cast seems to be selected according to quite different criteria, such as the age of the characters, although they seem to be based on the same webtoon...
so.. idk, need more information))

A woman is definitely not a tool or incubator, and this is definitely an unhealthy narrative, but it has been actively and positively functioning for thousands of years, and it still exists because patriarchy has not gone away, although both society and its consciousness are definitely evolving, changing and moving away from these unhealthy narratives.

I see the difference between "wanted" and "decided" and this, I think, played a role in my negative perception of the wording and my instant association with patriarchal narratives, as I explained above how it transmits them.

Speaking of situations where women hide their children from their husbands, I don't see how this is relevant to the topic of our discussion. When I say that there are patriarchal narratives, and I have the impression that this wording conveys this, I am not saying that all families live according to the canons of patriarchy, but there are some, just as there are some that do not.

And the idea of hiding children is a topic for a separate, large discussion. For example, the fact that some men raised by women - mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, etc. - believe that this is why we have a matriarchy, but do not think about the fact that in a patriarchy, it is not inherent in a man to be involved in raising a child, and raising children and household stuff may be the only area for women where they can have at least some power, even over children, but the head of the family is still a man, as in the whole structure of the world.

Speaking of your vision of family - it’s amazingly wonderful. This is exactly what I'm talking about, when a family has the opportunity to choose their roles in it as they feel comfortable, and anything is right when it is a conscious decision of the couple, not following any narratives and canons. And I hope you understand that your desire for financial autonomy from your husband would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to realise in a time of active, open and full-fledged patriarchy)

So, I absolutely agree with you) in my opinion, patriarchy really works this way in the context of the family in general, and of course it is not only about privileges for man, but in the context of childbirth, women are often seen as a tool, a kind of incubator, according to the patriarchal construction. This is not about some kind of forced insemination, but about a decision in which a woman does not feel worthy enough to object, to say that this is my body, that I don't want it, I'm not ready, and so on. And all of this, of course, in the most romanticised way, like "you are so beautiful, so I decided that I want a child like you" (which in another context can be really nice). Then the woman - the incubator - gives birth to HIS child, preferably a boy, raises HIS child (his, not the joint one). While the woman has to raise his children and be a housewife, the man is busy working at the factory (exaggeratedly), being the breadwinner of the family, a kind of "decision maker" - and this is definitely a burden. (In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I would like to clarify that this is by no means about our pair of actors and is just simply thoughts about the topic.)

So, I am leading to the fact that it should be about a joint decision, joint responsibility, about equality, equivalence. And speaking of the general removal of patriarchy - the opportunity for women and men to choose for themselves the roles they want. The possibility for women to provide for the family, while the man can go on maternity leave, or the woman can go on maternity leave, while the man can work (but according to the personal, conscious decision of the couple, not patriarchal constructions), or both can work, both can bear equally responsibility, accept together, sharing the common responsibilities, decisions, share household duties together, as the couple will be comfortable and pleasant and, of course, to give birth to joint children or not to give birth at all.

That's not what I meant, and I'm not going to write and repeat it in my second comment, just as I have the right to personal perception and expression, and I think I wrote about the subjectivity of this perception right away, because it's simply impossible otherwise. If you have this impression, I look forward to your expert definition of patriarchy ;)

"people like you." I’ve always been amazed by people like you, who “can read a person”, their motives and contexts, their life path and statements, just by one comment on the web. And most importantly, they are not ashamed to call people by their "expert opinion".
It's not about raping or forcing, it's about thinking, about the patriarchal thinking that has been shaped in us for thousands of years, it's about perception and understanding of positions in the family, the role of women and the role of men in the family, equality in making joint decisions, devaluing the torture of pregnancy and their romanticizing, and so on. And what does adoption have to do with it? Ridiculous. So, you purely didn't get what I meant.

I love jokes and joking, i can often be frivolous as well as vice versa, but in this particular situation i took it and reacted, as you say, seriously. But I don't have a need to be unserious all the time, for you to feel good and light-hearted and, God forbid, don't get offended. Just as I have every right to my personal feelings, perceptions and opinions, I have every right to express them, as long as they are not pure insult or just - an insult.
As for the comment about the five-year-old child... if you want to be so ironic and sarcastic, at least choose expressions appropriate to the situation and topic ;)
