dangermousieAs per drama beans.
I sincerely hope it is based on the manga I adore and not the jdrama which I hate. Seeing that they want to cast Kim Ha Neul, it's probably the latter though. Add in the fact that kdrama adaptations of manga usually suck (BOF, *shudder*) and there is no way they will be able to deal with "heroine orders a sexbot" thing on MBC (I was cracking up at jb and gf, neither of whom is familiar with the manga, wondering if It could be a sexbot and deciding not).
I think I will just wait for the twdrama.

Date: 2011-10-18 12:31 pm (UTC)The other big news on DC today was the Beethoven Virus PD/writers (the other Hong sisters) re-teaming for The King, which is described as a black comedy/romance about a marriage of convenience btw a North Korean prince and South Korean princess. Apparently the PD's close to Lee Byung-Hyun and desperately wanted him as the lead, but it's impossible with Lee's schedule so they're looking at other big names.
Looks like that's for early spring 2012, and before that is the adaptation of the new romance novel from the Sungkyunkwan Scandal author due Jan 2012 or so, but no word on casting yet. It's not the SKKS sequel, but an entirely new story, set in the Joseon era but purely fictional, of a doomed romance between a king and a shaman.

Date: 2011-10-19 04:41 am (UTC)ETA. Forgot add the writer & PD behind, um, how does it translate, 'The Moon That Embraced The Sun'? Anyhow they've got the Capital Scandal writer and Royal Family PD on board, hence the high expectations on DCgall.

Date: 2011-10-19 07:14 am (UTC)Regarding the story, you referred to it as a doomed romance, so I take it that it'll veer into much more serious/darker territory than Sungkyunkwan Scandal?

Date: 2011-10-19 11:39 pm (UTC)Oh, that NK/SK drama sounds like it has a possibility, but mentioning LBH and then saying he can't do it is just plain mean :)
Yay for the SKKS-not-really thing.

Date: 2011-10-20 12:29 am (UTC)My feelings exactly, and it happened twice this week-- the NK/SK drama, and Kim Eun-Sook(Secret Garden)'s new project. I'm sure he's at the top of the list of every possible project out there, and I know he'd rather do a film than television, but would be nice if he could do a drama every 2-3 years or so.

Why not Jung So Min and Jung Il Woo? Age-appropriate. Or if JIW is too busy with that prettyboy cable thing, LMH.

Date: 2011-10-20 12:53 am (UTC)LMH would be AWESOME as the hot sexbot, LOL. I reckon Ha Suk Jin would be awesome too, but perhaps not enough name recognition there... Hell, if they're aiming to rope in younger fangirls/bank on idol fame, wouldn't a better choice be Jaejoong? Can you imagine a more perfect face for your perfect sexbot?

Date: 2011-10-20 12:08 am (UTC)I think for this I'd watch if it was Moon Geun Young/Jang Geun Suk lolol. Or maybe even her and Kim Jae Wook? He did have that dorky-albeit-stoic-sometimes-robotic-ness to him.
