i know that this drama is not showing yet, but i was wonder why Lee min ho was team wit a leading actress of age 35 instead of a younger one. i believed there are so many younger actress that is also very good.
i am also watching I do I do, the leading actor is so much younger than the actress!!
i have nothing against both actress except this is my view!! Sorry!!
July 20th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
It must be awesome while the two leading casts are famous, one is hee sun who is enperience actress and the other one is lee min ho whose acting is also marvellous through ‘city hunter’, both of them will make a good chemistry I suppose; as min ho did very good at city hunter. DAEBAK!!!!

@noona-#8,
If you haven’t noticed, there is a trend of older noona-dong san love affairs going on in KD in the last several years. And the trend gets more exaggerated as time goes on, i.e. the age gap becomes more pronounced. It could be becos the audience is mostly female, and often made up of ajummas, so production teams might want to cater to their secret fantasy of being desirable to hot young hunks, thereby making these non-age appropriate team ups.
In actual fact, I think that not only the young audience wants to see young hunks teamed with actresses of similar age. Some older female viewers also find some noona dong san pairing to be too unbelievable.
