When I heard Kim Soo Hyun was going to star in this show I was already hooked. I love his acting and I was ready to board on ship.

But then there were casting changes and Jung Il Woo became the second lead. My first reaction was "Am I going to see him in another show so soon?" 

But now... Wow, I'm so freaking torn now I really adore Soo Hyun and I merely have second lead syndrome, I'm a lead couple shipper most of time. On the other hand I have to say I adore Il Woo a little bit more right now, so I think I'm going to suffer from second lead after all

Both Il Woo and Soo Hyun are very likeable to watch and both are ranked among most talented young Korean actors. So I think they will motivate and inspire each other to bring out the best in them. That means we're going to see terrific performances!!

I haven't watched any show with Han Ga In  so I can't judge, but I do think she looks more mature than Soo Hyun. Il Woo might look a little bit more compatible with her since he had a great chemistry with Lee Yo Won who's even older than Ga In. But well, let's just wait and see! Hope we'll be proven wrong about Soo Hyun/Ga In pairing.

But I have to say my heart already hurts because of Il Woo right now :'(

“As for Jung’s character, he is set to play Kim’s half-older brother who has a crush on the female shaman at the same time as his younger brother. Because of his affection towards his brother, he gives up both love and throne. He even pretends to appear as a playboyish to prevent people back him up politically which may put his brother in danger.”

So I hope Jung Il Woo will at least look like this to ease second lead syndrome

Now this one reminds me so much of an SKKS character >.< my heart this writer and her affinity to such 2nd lead characters.

I like Han Ga In but i have to say i havent seen her on a Saeguk drama before to judge if she fits the role or not. True that she's way older than her male leads but that is something id like to see how the make up team would pull off. Maybe they'd be adding some sparkly cinematography?lol ok just ignore that stupid comment.

Thanks for the Book Club link of the novel, will surely read this.

I just talked to my friends over twitter and we are insanely excited for this drama as we feel the whole SKKS atmosphere again.lol...cant wait for more updates

DramaOk thanks a bunch and Yeohweping for the photos and for starting this thread.
