Title My Country: The New Age
Although it's probably the drama I'm waiting for the most, I have some serious doubts about it. Firstly, the male lead. While Woo Do Hwan has a really strong scenic presence and high dramatic abilities, Yang Se Jong doesn't distinguish for any of these characteristics. To tell the truth, the boy seems more like an extra, so how he will be capable of creating a counterbalance to the prepotent Woo Do Hwan? Another thing is this love triangle and first love: sincerely, it's too cliché: even from the trailer it's easy to tell that the girl is a typical 'goodie' and keeps her first love from the childhood like a relic (it's one of the most annoying and typical situations of the history dramas). However, the dramatic force of the setting and, of course, Woo Do Hwan and Jang Hyuk's presence seem to me a good sign.
