well, not technically, but this was the first time the cast officially sat together for the script reading last week:

I am rabid for this drama already and it hasn't even started! I hope that it lives up to my high expectations.

I'm kind of worried that they haven't started filming yet. I know that it starts in September but since they've tacked on this overseas shoot I'm worried that they're going to go into live shooting.

There's going to be live shooting eventually anyway, you know how it is with k-dramas, it's just a matter of when. But the SJK and MCW fans who're following this closely are not fretting about the filming schedule so it doesn't look like it's cause for concern. As I understand, the location shoot in Japan will take place early August (probably in time for the Aomori Nebuta festival, according to MCW's fans), but that doesn't mean they're not going ahead with the filming in Korea. It's also not a sageuk so it's much easier on the cast & crew (vs. Song Joong Ki's experience with SKKS and Tree With Deep Roots, which began filming in the summer).

I feel so much better when you put it like that.

I just hope they keep it as high quality as they can. I have a feeling that this can be a really good drama. And the angst sounds so good!

There is so many details that I want to know. Like how does MCW lose her memory? How does SJK manipulate her? And how exactly is he going to use MCW for revenge?

Some of the latest info. may carry some clues, like the articles reporting on the casting of Kim Young-Chul as MCW's father: [Spoiler (click to open)]his character's described as a widower who's deeply depressed and shamed by his late wife's betrayal, gets involved with Park Si-Yeon's character who knows about it and uses it to approach him, and marries her when she becomes pg. Doesn't tell us a thing about SJK and MCW's characters but at least we have some context. Also, Kim Young-Chul's only slated to appear up to ep. 6 or so, so begs the question of 'where does that leave Park Si-Yeon?' and will the SJK-MCW-PSY triangle be a big focus after that.

Either way, I don't think any of these actors would have signed onto this project if it didn't really grab them. We just have to find out what it is :) and hope that it appeals to us as well.
