New weekend drama alert!! MBC is bringing Hong Soo Hyun, Lee Sang Yeob and Seo Ji Seok together for its weekend show Will You Love And Give It Away. Yeah, it’s a pretty long title. Hong Soo Hyun and Lee Sang Yeob are reuniting after they did the sageuk Jang Ok Jung this very same year, although they didn’t have a romantic storyline there. I liked Lee Sang Yeob in Nice Guy and he was quite appealing in it, but haven’t seen any of the other leads’ shows.
Will You Love And Give It Away is a story of family members from the second marriage of an older couple. It’s about two elderly people falling in love, played by Park Geun Hyung (The King of Dramas) and Cha Hwa Yeon (Hundred Year Inheritance). He is a retired prosecutor and she runs a restaurant. Well, that sounds sweet so far. The problem: our heroine is the woman’s daughter while the hero is the man’s son. That is going to create a very big problem in their love line. Maybe they’ll sacrifice their love for the parents. Either way, that will be disappointing and sad. Hong Soo Hyun stars as a bank employee and Lee Sang Yeob plays a jobless but sincere man. They surely look adorable together in the stills. Seo Ji Seok was last seen in High Kick 3 which was very long ago and his fans can cheer for him as he plays Mr. Perfect which might not mean a second lead for a change, as I don’t see a bed of roses for the other pairing as far as getting together is concerned. Seo Ji Suk stars as a chaebol.
The weekender will be directed by the PD of Queen Of Reversals and the writer wrote Just Be Like Today and Definitely Neighbours. Touted as a family weekend show, one can expect multitude of episodes. After diving in headfirst for You’re The Best Lee Soon Shin (a family weekend show), I’ve concluded that this particular variety of dramas is not my cup of tea. Check out the script reading pictures and stills from the drama.
Will You Love And Give It Away follows currently airing I Summon You, Gold! and premieres in September.

Wow, I feel like this is going to become another messy Love Rain, except much more dragged out since it’s a (presumably long) family drama.
Hong Soohyun and Lee Sangyeob are looking good though. If it’s not brainlessly aggravating like YTBLSS, then maybe I’ll give it a try?
Oh yeah….totally forgot about Love Rain having the similar setup 😀
Hong Soohyun and Lee Sangyeob are looking great…you can watch only their scenes instead of tolerating the whole drama 😉
HSH and LSY~~~! I ship them since JOJ and they’re truly looking good in the stills, but the premise of weekend drama makes me weary of it. Uh, let’s see what happens, maybe I’ll just check out their scenes from time to time…
I know….everyone is tired of the boring stuff that weekend shows bring along with them….it’s a good idea to just watch the OTP 😉
Well…there is always the option of leaving the country. I’m thinking that’s what’s gonna happen on the crazy, I Summon You, Gold front. However, I am a huge Seo Ji Seok fan…so I always want him to get the girl–even if he’s the second lead. :_)
Aww…I haven’t seen any of his shows….but I can understand the biased nature for our favorites 🙂
That led me to root for Kim Ji Hoon in FBND even when I knew he won’t get the girl…..
I was just looking about new dramas that start in October and remembered that one and came back to re-read your post. I haven’t watched any family dramas so far,nor watched one with a lot of episodes(only I Can Hear your Voice which had 30ep) but I find this one interesting. Maybe I should start my journey with family dramas with this one? 🙂
Actually I’m quite wary of long, family shows as they tend to go boring, annoying, etc. At least, this is what I learned after watching You’re The Best LSS as it started cute but then became irritating and I dropped it.
But still, there are certain good ones like Ojagkyo Brothers. You can watch that one!!
I do get that when a drama has a lot of episodes they sometimes tend to drag that’s why I haven’t watched any so far. I was kind of afraid haha.. As for Ojagkyo Brothers I’m quite spoilesabout the ending so I’m not sure.. We’ll see.. 🙂
