I'm not sure if that is the reason, but it does make him look more appropriate for that role.

If you are asking about KHY and LCM...then...assuming that the writer remains true to the novel...the answer is yes...with the orphanage as the place that ties them together. But, if you would like to see them together on screen...then he'll have to take the "Paul Lennon" role.

Unless the writer decides to change the gender of the characters, here's what I think...
KHY... will play the role of the "the little dog" ... because she plays a major part in the novel.
LCM...will play the role of the "fish shop/musician" ... because it is, of all the stories, the most heartrending.
I can't figure who will play the "Paul Lennon" part...but hopefully someone is cast for this character because that will explain why Harumi Muto choose the name of "the little dog".

Edited/Added:
With MSM taking a main role and not a cameo/special appearance, I think he'll play the "Paul Lennon" role. This could explain why he's placed next to KHY in the Disney+ cast photo and not LCM.

Read the book...watched the Japanese film based on the novel...and here are my thoughts about who I think KHY will play as well as LCM.

Wait...I thought Moon Sang Min was doing a cameo? He's now a main lead? If that's true then I think we have the last main role filled.

I'm not familiar with the book, but I assume since the thieves are holed up in the store overnight...and assuming she is playing one of the thieves...her scenes will take place only in the store until they leave in the morning. With that said, I think it shouldn't be a problem for her to overlap it with "Good Partner 2" since the former is more an ensemble drama unlike GP2. I hope she accepts the offer for this drama because "Shota" is a perfect role for her.

Isn't Kang You Seok also cast one of the thieves?

1. "Geum Ho said Eun Ho had been crying to her for 10 years."
1. The statement is false. Eun Ho spent 8 years at the River of Three Crossings. On the 9th year, Eun Ho was back...whereby she spent that year crying to Guem Ho...and on the 10th year is where she met up with SY.

2. The statement is true. In episode 10, the deity said that both SY and WS were living the fates that they were born with, and Eun Ho...by granting WS's wish....was the one who switched their fates. The accident never played a part in SY and WS having their fates switched....which was confirmed by the reset when Eun Ho died. As for Eun Ho's first version...it was blurry...so it could have been either WS's or SY's fate she saw...but we found out later, from the deity, that the blurry vision was actually SY's fate all along.

3. Your answer is correct. It's the fear and pain of losing SY all over again that she distanced herself away from SY...not because she didn't love him.

Again, I thank you for replying to my post.

My original intent for asking for those 3 questions was more to see if anyone would answer them...which you did, and I thank you...than finding the answers to the questions. As I predicted...the post was buried under the drama reviews and about discussion about KHY. Anyways, my response to your answers are in the spoiler...

1. "Geum Ho said Eun Ho had been crying to her for 10 years." True or false? If false, then many years was it?

2. SY's and WS's original fates were switched when Eun Ho granted WS his wish and not because of the accident. True or false? And reasoning?

3. Why did Eun Ho did not make herself known to SY after she had returned?

To those that have watched all episodes of the drama, I have 3 questions...posted in the spoiler.

To make it clear...EunHo was not crying over SY for 10 years...the deity sent her back on the 9th year...so it was only one year that GeumHo was referring to.

With my assumption that you had watched the episode, I thought it was just a matter of refreshing your memory by scrolling to the scene where she saved him at the rooftop to find your answer. The whole scene was explanatory to the question why. And I'll make it easier for you by giving you the time... 36:38 of the episode 12 ...in which to start watching it.

First of all, your question is a spoiler for the series for people who have not seen the drama nor the episode...so, by default, any answers given will be considered a spoiler.

Well, you have to understand, EunHo has never loved anyone before...romantically that is...so it's all new to her. The emotions she had to go through...that when she finally accepted and gave love, she barely got use to those emotions before she got blindsided by overwhelming feelings of anguish and despair from losing SY. Think of her as a child...and being scared of going through that a second time. It takes time and life experiences to accept death as a fact of life...so for her...it will too.

I'm not sure why you doubt her love for him...is it because she doesn't want to become human? Or is it something else that makes you feel that way?

In the past, she did loved him...she showed it in many ways, but the most glaringly ones were...making sure that the 8-tailed fox was there to save SY from his fated death, and, before dying, even though she knew it would give him more pain, she wanted him to know that she did indeed loved him in return...that it was not one-sided.

During those 9 years she sat in the "hut" at the River of Three Crossings...the stormy weather not only stopped her from crossing, but it also reflected her refusal to move onto the afterlife and forgetting SY...until the deity took pity on her and let her return back to him.

Now, in present day...she still loves him...protected him during the year after she returned, but yet still didn't erase his memory of her as she promised before she died. Why? Because she didn't want him to forget her. Instead she spent that time crying and lamenting to poor GeumHo about missing him. But it all turned out great...they are now together and on their way to create a lifetime of wonderful memories, and for her to keep them when he's gone...like he promised her.

You were right. The deity sent Eun Ho back...the waters then calmed down. The boat man commented, "To take on her burden and defy the Heaven's will is to invite a far greater burden upon yourself." I think what the boat man is saying...by sending her back...knowing what could happen given her nature...the deity will not only bear the burden of sending her back, but, also, if anything goes wrong this second time around.

There was nothing implied that the "burden" is for the deity to give up his immortality.

The deity explained it all in episode 10.

She was sent back one year ago by the deity...as for the second question...she explained it clearly in episode 12 after she saved him from falling.

I am confused...what do you mean by "she changed their fates with the accident"? Fffwd it? I agree...and my statement..." Because the accident had set in motion the fruition of SY's destiny that he was born with"... is exactly what I meant...that SY's fate came in to play sooner rather than later with the accident.

What Lomon said about the drama is exactly one of the reasons why I loved it! He did a wonderful job in portraying his character SY and I thank him for it! I was glad that he and KHY did not outshone each other...that they were evenly matched in their visuals, their ability to emote their character's emotions clearly, their comedic timing, and to present an on-screen chemistry that was charming, warm, adorable, and not forced. Wish him well on his next projects.
