There we go, I knew there had to be more leads that were cast.

I'm liking the period attire on Kyuhyun.

the far and away best part of the drama was the child actors and that whole arc - I hope they keep that for the stage version

I watched the drama up to the point they grew up and then after a few episode's worth of wooden acting I just gave up on it.

I don't know how they'll deal with the childhood scenes in this but I have wondered about it too.

I agree. After they grew up it really became repetitive and boring

Seo looks so pretty in that picture, can't wait to see how she does!

Wow at first I was like damn Lina looks like she aged 10 years in that photo, then I realized she actually did age 10 years....

That is a gorgeous picture of Seo . . . and a not so great one of Lina. She doesn't even really look old, it's just a weird expression. It's weird to think that she's almost 30 though.

OMG, Lina looked so different! Is that really her?
