I'm still upset her character was killed off in SKY Castle. I wanted her to sow chaos and win 😩

I wonder how this drama is gonna go
Aren't they also eyeing Jaejoong for the male lead?

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

yes they are! and afaik bora hasn't confirmed yet (nor has jaejoong)? or she might have idk

This drama could potentially touch upon a number of taboo topics in SK culture in a positive way, it would be nice if they go there.

JtV was an absolutely fantastic show for its first three series, but the past two have been.... less than good. I recently dropped it officially and it still saddens me I'm not with all these characters till the end but I couldn't sit through more of that nonsense.

That's the CW effect
Every show ends up being a mess at some point

Crazy EX-Girlfriend escaped that curse somehow

True which is why I am glad the show is officially ending with series 5

I watched a couple of seasons and I remember really liking it, then I paused because I think I got secondhand embarrassment lol sometimes if I get too embarrassed I just stop watching a show... And then Gina started saying dumb things so I didn't feel like going back lol but I would watch this.

I could see myself tuning in for this because I did like JtV for a while until it got more ridiculous than I could tolerate, so let's see how this one turns out. I'm realizing that we're getting so many remakes of american tv shows these days but it feels like the ones they choose are so random lol XD

i remember watching part of venezuelan soap opera "Juana la virgen" on my nana house and plot was ridiculously dramatic, pretty much like any soap opera out there lol



but then when i watched a couple of episodes from USA remake i found out they censured and white washed some topics ... i wonder if korea will stick to original plot, USA plot or their own plot

i wonder if they'll keep the lesbian scenes from the American version...also I wonder if they'll make her and her family catholic or do something else

a Korean version of Jane the Virgin? but they'd *gasp* have to show a woman at a gynaecologist's office!

I like her and think she could fit in this role, but not liking the potential Jaejoong casting with her. And while I was not a Rafael fan in the 3 seasons I watched the show, the character description for his equivalent is just making him a typical drama asshole hotel heir. I am really curious how they’re going to adapt this to a Korean story.
