About an age difference between the leads:
@Charlie-54, sara-60, etc:
The classic (worst) case of an actress looking older than her co-starring actor was in The Legend, aka The Story of the First King’s 4 Gods, aka Tai Wang Sa Shin Gi, starring Bae Yong Joon (1972) and Moon So Ri (1974). Once costumed and coiffered, she looked like his mother, not his wife, as netizens were posting all over Korea. They were MAD. It got so bad that she went on TV to specify than she was actually 2 years younger than BYJ. She said at most she looked like “yeemo” to BYJ’s “joka”, and was hurt that ppl said she looked like his mom! Ha ha ha. Do you see the irony in it?
As far as I’m concerned, she single-handedly ruined that series for me. Who wants to see the leading man romancing his yeemo or his mom! Argh, gross!
But I don’t think Kim HS and Lee MH has that problem. She looks this side of 30 to me. In some cases, age is just a no., if they don’t look their age, right?

Give me a break! This is am exact copy to Dr Jin!
July 31st, 2012 at 6:46 am
@ Summerlin: Maybe the premise is close but they don’t use the same era. Plus the hero here is a warrior, not a surgeon. Also, the fantasy element is more important here (see the trailers).
One thing is sure, it can’t be worst than Jin quality wise (script, special effects and acting).
July 31st, 2012 at 2:18 pm
the female actress is too old to be matched with lee min ho
July 31st, 2012 at 2:37 pm
