New Year's presents have come early for yours truly - Daemul is back on! There are actually not enough exclamation marks in the world. For those who haven't been on my flist that long, Daemul was an upcoming drama a couple of years back I was preliminarily obsessed about - based on a popular manhwa, it was about a high-price gigolo hired to seduce and ruin the first female President of Korea. Are you freaking kidding me? I was all over that so fast it was not funny. It was slated to star the awesome Go Hyun Jung (lately seen as the villanous, drama-stealing Mishil in Queen Seon Deok) and the totally sexy Kwon Sang Woo. Then production wackiness happened and the project was scrapped. Only. Now it is back on. And still with Go Hyun Jung in the lead. OMG, my heart cannot take it.

And speaking of QSD, Le Yo Won and Kim Nam Gil (i.e. Seon Deok and Bidam) won best couple award at MBC awards. Yay.

I just heard about it too! But, um, just in case, I taking this with a grain of salt. I was so excited about this when it was first announced and it totally crushed me to see it canceled, so...

Oh! But I do hope it works out. I haven't been this excited about an upcoming drama since I first head about Coffee Prince and that one turned out to be one of my absolute favorites.

Wow, I'm kind of a killjoy, aren't I?

Not at all - I am highly nervous about this myself.

I am so excited. Now, who would they cast for the male lead. KSW would be perfect - he was cast earlier, he's buff and hot, he's younger than GHJ and he (to me) always has a faintly sleazy vibe.

Hmmm, who else. Gong Yoo is just out of the army. Mmmm. Or Song Seung Heon - if they are looking for sex on legs. Or Joo Jin Mo.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AGREE.

And do not even give me ideas about Gong Yoo because I would die a very happy death if he took this up. I love Joo Jin Mo but I don't know if he'd work for this part. Son Seung Heon...hmmm, he does look like he could play a gigolo, doesn't he? Hee.

Hyun Bin seems a little too sweet to play the part but I think he could work it. So Ji Sub?

SSH could totally play a gigolo - I would certainly hire him :)

Re: JJM. Yeah, he usually has a somewhat more serious vibe. Still, tall dark and handsome :)

Hyun Bin - he was totally believable as this brutal thug in Friends so I now believe he can pull anything off, but are we getting into a 'too young' territory? The guy's what - 27? I know the gigolo is supposed to be younger than the President, but I am not sure if they will want to go for that much younger.

SJS could work but he has his own huge drama coming up mid-year (Road No 1) so I don't think he'd be available.

I adore Gong Yoo but hmmm - he's not classically good-looking enough? He doesn't look professionally chiselled, if you know what I mean. Plus he always comes across as very sweet. Though, after looking at this:

Oh yeah, baby!

I think someone like Jang Hyuk could be perfect (his niche IS bastards with a heart after all, not to mention he already played a gigolo once, quite well) but he is only a couple years younger than GHJ so not sure if that's an issue. Plus, he has his own drama so...

You know who might be fun for a total change of pace (for him) - Song Il Gook. He plays off strong women very well. But he has his own upcoming drama and I think he's the same age as GHJ.

Hmmm.

If Hyun Bin looks too young then so does Gong Yoo. I have no idea how old the latter is but I don't think he's over 30. Speaking about ages, you can bet your ass that somewhere in Soompi someone's going to suggest Lee Min Ho, which is just...no.

Song Il Gook is good looking enough to fit the part, but I wouldn't buy him as someone's boytoy (can't believe I just wrote that word).

If he wasn't in the army I'd say Eric. He's doesn't have the classically handsome looks, but after Que Sera Sera he totally won me over.

Gong Yoo is over 30 - he just finished his army service and Hyun Bin didn't even go in yet. Lee Min Ho? Oh God.

SIG - yeah, can't imagine mighty Jumong as a boytoy - maybe that's why I am interested.

Eric would have been PERFECT.
