@sara

July 24th, 2012 at 5:18 am

10 year age diff to me is not noona-donng sang, it’s more like yeemo-joka. Why the production team is willing to bend this much! For the rating? What if most viewers are grannies? Then the age gap is going to go up more? Scary.
July 24th, 2012 at 7:44 am
ill waiting for this drama.good luck
July 24th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
10 years gap is no big deal for me…as long as they can relate with each other and have a good chemistry, that would suffice…
July 24th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
I think Min Ho is a great actor….. never mind that he will play with older or younger partner, he can be blended with his couple, as in bbf and personal taste…. quite a different girl cast, but he doing well in that film as well more mature in City hunter, you wll be a great actor for quite a long period… like SSH and JJH…
Like kim hee sun too… she is the same age like me…. she still pretty ( like me…. ha ha… ( ^_^ ) getting old is not a problem at all, as long as we caring our selves. Hee sun was a great actress… first see her in bichunmoo and than the myth… really appreciated her willing to speak mandarin in that movie….. go hee sun….!!
July 24th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
at first when looking at the photographs/poster in this page idon;t think they’re well matched.but after i saw the trailer i changed my mind,i think it would be great
kim hee sun looks so mysterious,smart,charismatic and beautiful of course ^^ the drama itself looks epic so i guess viewer would look into special effect/fighting scene or general storyline so about the age issue we’d kinda forget about it hehehe 
July 24th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
if there’s someone said that Kim Hee Sun isn’t match with Lee Min Ho, and Lee Min Ho should get another co-actress, then it should be Lee Min Ho the one who’s remove from drama Faith,
because Kim Hee Sun already sign contract since 2010 along with Junki as her co-actor for Faith that time. -_-

@Charlie
I don’t think the only reason is viewers age. I’m 28 and don’t care about their age gap at all. I’m sure Korean youths think the same. Most of the people want good acting rather than mere beauty. For example, PMY is a so-so actress. Her facial expression from SKKS to CH is the same. So her being young is not a benefit at all, the same with KTH. I don’t want to see them pair up with any of my fave actors. Sometime youth dramas like Dream high2 make you sick, coz you can’t see anyone with a bit of acting talent. So there’s no need to make the age gap bigger coz the viewers are grannies. But look at other reasons. Acting skills. I don’t know this actress at all. Even i don’t like LMH. But as long as the actress is great, beautiful and looks younger than her age, age gap is okay. Again, like the Queen HJW. I wish to see her with all Korean young great actors.
July 24th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
OMG!!!!just watched the trailer….i got so excited!!!!i love LMH & KHS!!!!
July 25th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
I will view the show b’coz of Kim Hee Sun.
July 25th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
I want to watch Lee Min Ho act in sageuk drama then I can say hes a great actor…..I wasnt impressed yet with his acting…I also want to see him act multiple roles in one drama:)but I like him in Personal Taste:)for sure Faith will showcase his acting skills!I want to see him in melodrama
mostly his roles its either hes a rich kid!but I admit hes hawt!
July 25th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
The most awaiting drama during this 2012…I just can’t wait to see this drama. Lee Min Ho was an awesome actor. He really did a good act. only once a year to see his drama it can proved that he was great at all. Kim Hee Sun also a great actress. What a great collaboration. FIGHTING!!!
이민호씨 사랑해요 오빠 ^_^
July 26th, 2012 at 5:05 am
10 years is a big age difference. KHS is pretty but LMH is at his prime. I love them both but I’d hate to watch a drama which male lead is so much better looking than the female. Particularly when they’re in the same scene. Not very convincing. I hope the writer will find a way to fix that.
July 26th, 2012 at 5:16 am
i cant wait for this drama to start but i feel that because of the age gap the chemistry might not be too great and it might ruine the show , well thats just my thinking i hope the lead actress, does not hold back , i guess i will just have to sit and watch what happens
July 26th, 2012 at 6:41 am
what’s going on in Korea??? why is all the dramas having almost the same theme these days??? Rooftop Prince, Queen InHyun’s Man, Dr. Jin & now Faith, which is almost similar to Jin???
July 26th, 2012 at 7:05 am
@sara 60,
The age gap doesn’t bother you, I think it’s because you don’t like LMH. On the other hand, I love LMH, so it will be difficult for me to swallow love scenes between him and an ajooma who’s 10 years older, married with a kid, let alone acting skills.
July 26th, 2012 at 8:06 am
..also have a doubt about the pairing but let see if there’s an on screen chemistry bet them..not also satisfied on his acting but dunno why i enjoyed all his dramas.
July 26th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
I am really excited to watch his new tv series faith. Its fine with me whoever his leading lady is I believe in Lee min ho’s acting ability, he will give justice to any role assigned to him….. go lmh……!!!
July 26th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
oh time travel again it become a trend in the kdrama world LOL.. will see it might be a good drama
July 26th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
@Charlie
I’m okay with age gap-It has its limit though- even if i love the actor. Like Lee Seung gi and HJW. I love him so much but I was okay with HJW, coz she is great. But i do have problem with this actress being married and having a child. It seems they get very cautious when one of the actors is married. Look at AGD and JDG-KH relationship. They are very cautious. I just hope they don’t ruin the drama with closed lip kiss scenes, fake hugs and conservative dialogues.
July 26th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
i think LMH & KHS are both professionals…..they will surely do their best for this drama so i’m hoping they can pull it off….it will surely break my heart if it doesn’t turn out good….anyway, i’ve watched the trailer and i am satisfied so far…really excited to watch this!!!!
July 27th, 2012 at 7:22 am
wowww…. can’t wait for this drama…. another epic & time travel again…
very excited to see Lee Min Ho in here… for the 1st time he’s acting in epic drama… more handsome!!! :p saranghae LMH…
“faith” fighting!! hope the storyline will be great,fun & hot from the beginning till the end…. ^___^
