I'm re-posting Cora's answer abt this drama here, thank you Cora
Btw please respect the author and don't repost it, because we're not orginal author.
Thank you !
I am not the representative of Korean fans.
However, as I know as possible, most Korean fans don't want her to participate that drama.
There are several reasons....
The relationship with group 8 and Shin Hye seems good, but last year, the company used Shin Hye's name to promote the drama and they rejected her.
(I feel like Shinhye is just used for promotion of the drama of group 8 for several times).
If ShinHye participate the drama, that also would be some pressure for her.
And the third reason is the rating.
In Korea, the rating is really important.
At the same time that the drama of 'it started with a kiss' will be aired, there are powerful rivals.
One of them is now on air, and it's rating is really really high, about 35%...
And the other one is written by the writers of 'YAB' and Lee, Seung-Ki will participate.
So it would be really hard to get high rating.
Till now, Shin Hye didn't participated in the high-rated drama in Korea.
We wish her drama would be really popular.
The last reason is that there are many similarities between the character of 'YAB' and 'It started with a kiss'.
We want to see her new images because we believe she acts very well!!!!
I wish you understand what I mean.
We also know that international fans want to see her in that drama.
The decision is up to Shin-Hye. So if she decides to do, we are willing to support her.
Even if we don't like her to work with group 8......
