:ahmagah: LOVED YOUR POST! Welcome, welcome~~~ Please visit here more often! It shouldn't be long now until our second lead is revealed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my... really?! I can't remember where I read it, but I read that it's set to air March/April apparently. I don't mind if it's May/June but July/August is too far away  :rlytearpls:

 

Well seeing as they may be potentially heading overseas for some of the scenes, I guess I'm not all too surprised.

 

Looking at recently pre produced dramas:

 

Descendants of the Sun: Filmed from July - December (6 months). Aired: February. (2 months later)

Scarlet Heart: Ryeo: Filmed from January - June (6 months). Aired: August. (2 months later)

 

Just like you said...

 

 

So for this drama: Film from December - May (6 months). To air: July (2 months later)

 

:cry: NOOOOO. I don't want to wait this long to see Yoona on my screen again!

Well her movie is coming out early next year so there is that lol. :hurr:

hmm... Another popular prediction for Rin  by some knetizens is Ryu Jun Yeol. Quite a few think that its Ryu Jun Yeol.

I have not watch any of his drama, so I can't really judge his acting skills, but his visual and aura  does not match with Yoona and Im Siwan.  If this is true, it will be a very weird casting overall.  :unsure:

I don't think he's a bad choice. I won't mind if it's him. He's really charming on screen. But i heard he's busy tho.

WARNING! While this post is spoiler free, I wrote it thinking everyone here has at least read the brief synopsis that was released with the initial press release. If you haven’t, please go to [/size]dramabeans[/size] and read it first.[/size]

 

So after having read the books and stewing over them for a while, here are my thoughts. The book [/size]isn’t your traditional romance story, there’s much more to it than just that. While San and Rin are both fictional characters, many of the supporting cast and events that push the story forward are based on historical facts. Won, in particular, is very accurately portrayed so you can expect there will be a fair share of political talk in it as well. I expect the drama to pull back on some of the political aspects of the novel and pursue the romance and friendship aspect between our three main protagonist more, but I still expect it to have a bit more politics than say... "Moon Embracing the Sun" and it's honestly pretty interesting. With Goryeo (Korea) being ruled over by Mongolia (Yuan) at the time, this is a pretty touchy period of history for many Koreans so adhering to historical facts will be imperative to how well this drama is received. I remember "Empress Ki" receiving a huge backlash in Korea for how much it distorted history. Luckily for us, one of the books major selling points is it's historical accuracy so I don't expect that to become an issue here.

 

Our three main protagonist Won, San, and Rin are all very well fleshed out characters. But I think Siwan and Yoona fans in particular will be very happy with the range of emotions their characters will be able to play. It’s honestly a little crazy. On the other hand, Rin’s character is much more of a stoic character so I think even bringing on a more novice actor would be an okay choice there too. I should also mention that Rin is NOT a “third wheel†in this story. He is just as important to the story as Won and San are.[/size]

 

All in all, it was a very impressive book to read. From a fanboy standpoint, there were moments I was getting giddy just imagining Yoona acting some of the scenes out. From a literary standpoint, the sheer scope of the writing impressed me. The characters travel all over the Yuan Empire and while I'm not sure how much of it will be translated into the drama, one of the pro's of being a pre-produced drama is that we actually have the time to go overseas and film some of these scenes[/size] (I know for a fact that “Empress Kiâ€, another MBC drama, filmed a few scenes in China as well so I know that it’s possible).[/size]

 

A few users have been asking me to explain the relationship between Won, Rin and San a bit more so I decided to also post what I shared with them here in spoiler tags. And while I do foreshadow a few events, as a whole, I think it’s pretty spoiler free.[/size]

 

 

1. Won and Rin[/size]

So Won definitely wears the pants in this relationship. He's constantly nagging on Rin for being so stiff around him and pressures him to speak informally when it's just the two of them, often to no avail. Rin is described almost as an extension of Won himself, always standing by his side and willing to do anything the prince asks of him. Rin and Won share the same dream of making Goryeo a better place to live, for the people, and both help each other towards that goal.[/size]

 

2. Won and San[/size]

Won instantly falls for San, not romantically I mind you, but because a) her looks and b) her selfless nature. San, unlike Rin, is more than willing to talk down to Won, and Won loves her even more for that. At one point in the novel, he mentions that San was the only person he's ever met that didn't treat him as royalty. [/size]

 

3. Rin and San[/size]

Initially, Rin is very wary of San because she refuses to tell him her true identity. They constantly butt heads with each other and if it weren’t for Won they’d never get along. Nevertheless, Rin is very protective of San and is often the one to save her when she bites off more than she can chew.

I hate to say this, cause I feel like I'm going to break your heart... Choi Tae Joon is set to star in "Missing 9" so he's off the list too. :rlytearpls:

 

And I hope everyone here knows that this drama isn't going to air till July/August of next year. Pre-production takes 5-6 months and then they spend another 2 months editing and making deals for foreign broadcast. :rlytearpls: :rlytearpls:

I just read it on Twitter this morning and like what you said, it farking broke my heart! I went to sleep happily thinking about siwan-yoona-tae joon and woke up wanting to go on twitter and just spazz there about the possibility of tae joon as Rin but fark the news of him casted in Missing 9 greeted me. FML ã… ã…¡ã…  They don't want me to be happy!

 

Also Hi Konjo-nim! ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Thanks for making TKL twitter! And thanks for the welcome as well as to others who welcomed me/us 💕

 

And I was also expecting some news today bec the anticipation is killing me! Who will Yoong kiss again omg reveal it now juseyo! ã… ã…¡ã…

Lee Won Geun confirmed for Rin?????

I see angry Yoona fan tweets mentioned his name

 

Nope, can't find a single article mentioning him. But I hope they'll announce him soon, the anticipation is suffocating. 

 

Why don't some Yoona's fans like him?  Wow, he is going to be Rin?

 

He was okay in the Good Wife. So, I am not sure why the animosity towards him. If there is one... :unsure:

I'm surprised too! He's a good actor, I loveee him! A few pages back we were discussing who we want to be Rin, he was someone I suggested.

The general consensus in Korea is that he did a poor job in "The Good Wife". But again, it's just a rumor going around and nothing has been confirmed.
