evie7 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello @Go Seung Ji Thank you as always for starting this thread I thought Ji Sung had confirmed for this drama. I hope he says yes soon. This role sounds perfect for him. I'm excited that Kim Min Suk's going to be in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jongski Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Maybe a post would help. I hope Ji Sung chooses this one. I'd like to see that Ji Sung brilliance in gritty lawyer drama. Some fans probably would prefer him in the period drama but, I'd rather he choose this. I like the story and the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelleshawol Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 To be honest I was looking forward for this drama since the news about Ji Sung being cast as the lead came out. This is the kind of redemption he needs after Ddandara. He deserves this kind of drama where he can fully showcase again his versatile traits as an actor. And then the female lead is Yuri? No offense for her fans but Im worried if she can manage to pull off her acting skills especially her role is the defender here. I was really aiming for Lee Bo Young to pick the role but there's no luck for it to come true because she clearly stated that she will not be working with Ji Sung anymore. If ever Yuri is really the lead, I will just pray to drama Gods that she had improved her acting and can be a match for Ji Sung's incredible performance 14 minutes ago, Berou said: @chelleshawol nice to see you here ^^ . she confirmed it. Haha. Nice to see you here too. Woaw. No chance of declining it?? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJE and JS are my favorite kdrama OTP. I really really love their chemistry together. HJE is a great actress of her generation. She can do any genre including melo and romcom. I love to see them work together but I think it will be considered a miracle if it will happen because its very rare to pair up again with a former costar in korea. We got lucky in KMHM but I dont think we will get a miracle again for the third time. But who knows? The thing i was ranting about is Ji Sung is back in the industry after the epic fail Ddandara so I was really looking forward for this. At first they casted Han Ye Seul and I was like okay I've seen her perfomances and I guess she can give justice to the role but then she declined. Then Yuri casting was announced. Why did they have a step backward here? Sorry if im a bit overboard and Im not judging her but pls did ji sung commit a crime? He deserves someone better.

jongski Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I was thinking of posting below Tues 11/15 but I refrained because.. I don't want wanna say anything until Ji Sung confirms to star in Defendant. And now that we have confirmation...... You see....I thought it was the Yoo ri. The actress . The one from drama Heaven's Promise. cos I like her! But againi it's the other one. I'm not gonna lie. I don't like the leading lady. I must say I'm deflated with choice of female lead.... I think if I'm not mistaken, this is the female lead from.... OCN drama Local Hero (which I drop halfway!). I'm not sold on her acting. I'm gong to watch this drama for Ji Sung brilliance and acting skills. Female lead being kpop girl idol doesn't have anything to do with me not liking her. It's just.... This is gritty drama .. why not someone like..... Moon Chae Won? who can be feisty! But anyway.... I'm happy Ji Sung accepted Defendant. I've been keeping my fingers crossed that he accepts this more than the period drama so Yes, for him I'm in! the chance to see acting skills!.

Yeh, Ddandara epic fail?

Why SBS always gives him not matching partner? It is so frustrating.... If they can't get "big" name, I even think some actress who usually play as second lead but with top notch acting - Seo Ji hye, Kim Yoo ri, Kim Min seo or why don't casting Kim So yeon ? Or Kim A-joong or everyone as long as is not her! Ah I am really sorry... I am too disappointed.... frankly i will said, except the female lead, i am okay with the rest of the casts - Uhm Ki joon, Kim Min suk, Uhm Hyung kyung ... 6 hours ago, chelleshawol said: .....

Haha I will pray with you, please drama God. For me, among SNSD member, Sooyoung has the best acting skill. But, just like Yoona, they said her acting much better in her last drama (the k2), So i hope something like this from Yuri. Lets pray! Amen! ..... Haha... Is it possible? They have announced the casting, so if not "something big" happen, i think it will be final decision. Though I will be very happy if they change it.

evie7 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm so excited that Ji Sung finally accepted this roleThis just seems like a role just made for him. Nothing against Yuri but.......I have to admit the choice of female lead has me SMH. Are there no full time actress's available? 14 hours ago, chelleshawol said: The thing i was ranting about is Ji Sung is back in the industry after the epic fail Ddandara so I was really looking forward for this.

I don't think that's going overboard. I have to admit I'm very underwhelmed by the female leads casting also. He is such a brilliant actor. it would be nice if he could be matched with an actress who can keep up w/him talent wise. If he ever gets cast in a drama/movie w/ Soo Ae, I will be in heaven. But having said this I guess we will just have to focus on Ji Sung, he's going to be great in this role. @jongski @Berou @Mayyes Hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am too.... for Jisung, I have to check this drama... 2 months to go..... Ddandara was considered an epic fail drama of JS because of netizens reactions and its ratings. Han Ye Seul is a veteran actress and I bet she'll do good with the role if not as a match for JS, at least she's better than Yuri in acting beacuse she has much experience than her. So I was thinking its a waste that she declined the offer only to be given to Yuri. Lets pray to drama Gods that Yuri will turn down the offer although she already confirmed. Nothing is impossible. But if ever the casting was final, I hope she can do better than her past performances and not let Ji Sung alone carry the drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxbitter_divinexx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 seems like many are up against the female lead kekeke .. While others are concerned about the FL, I'm more anxious how the story goes and the camera anglings/how it shot, coz I feel like it has an impact on how I'd like a drama. I don't want to drop this but I'm certain I won't if it's not 20+ episodes, coz I have this habit of dropping a drama even if its really good but sometimes I continue after a while..... .Let's just not expect that much and let us be surprised if Yuri will do a good job *fingers crossed* I'm looking forward to the drama and to this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jongski Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm still not excited about the choice of female lead, but I've said already my piece on the previous page. A man on death row makes up for for gripping drama. I'll be watching this for Ji Sung, for the story for the acting. And just like chingu above, 16 episode drama is the most for me. I get bored afterwards. 20 is still ok. but I'd prolly marathon rest of episodes. I'm so used to jdramas 12 episodes fast pace. Ji Sung's last drama. I didn't like. Heh.
