My thoughts: Well, I really was looking forward to Cha Seung Won returning to drama land. So there is disappointment as well as excitement. I loved Dae Jang Geum! It made me a fan of Ji Jin Hee instantly! As far as casting, I hope they don't disappoint and choose some actors that can act. I would hate to see them do the original Jae Jang Geum a disservice. I will definitely be looking forward to this.
