Various drama things...

[dangermousie]

1. Joo Won is rumored to be considering the lead role in the drama version of the hit movie about a man who finds out his girlfriend was a secret agent (after they break up and he becomes one himself). I am...torn. On one hand, more Joo Won in a drama is always a good thing. On the other, this would air barely a month after Bridal Mask ends, and since they will start filming before airing, this means no rest for him. Plus, Kim Nam Gil and Lee Dong Gun turned down the lead role, so I am wondering if there are problems - the makers are people behind Chuno, one of my all-time favorite dramas, but also behind Runaway - Plan B, one of the most useless monstrocities to ever grace dramaland. People's suggestions for female leads drive me insane as well - Son Ye Jin? Kim Tae Hee? I am not a big fan of the former, but more to the point, she looks almost old enough to be his mom and it's not that sort of a story. I love Kim Tae Hee, who has great chemistry with her co-stars despite her limited acting prowess, but once again, she's rather too old. I want an age-appropriate pairing, please.

2. Posters for May Queen are out and I want!!!



It's like my dream cast, pretty much. Though how they expect to resolve the romantic rivalry between Jae Hee and Kim Jae Won, whom I adore equally and who have equal leading man status, I have no idea. Never has the word 'threesome' been more appropriate.









3. Posters are out for Five Fingers as well. My favorite is this, because it looks like Joo Ji Hoon and Eunjung are about to do something X-rated on the piano as soon as the photoshoot is over...



The women look amazing but the men are saddled with odd clothes and hairstyles. Still, I don't care. Because Joo Ji Hoon!!!



Our hero, who is trapped in 1999, it seems like.



Ji Chang Wook, who only probably went evil as a protest against his hideous wardrobe...



Their mother, who I think is supposed to be not in the running for the nicest Mom in the world.



Eunjung, looking like a million bucks. Preshipping her and JJH's character already.



General poster:



And to think, if it wasn't for the Olympics, this marvelousness would be starting next week! *shakes fist*

4. This amazing general Bridal Mask MV is probably my favorite yet. Spoilers for all the eps.

joo ji hoon's haaaaaaaaaaair WHY. :( eunjung looks great and i like her, but her voice becomes really grating after a while.

I'm a little worried about Five Fingers now. Eunjung is involved in a really big scandal right now and she's been accused as one of the people that bullied a member of her girl group. The girl who allegedly, I totally believe that she was though, got bullied has been kicked out of T-ARA. There's been a lot of backlash. It's gotten to the point where neitzens are asking for her to be removed from programs.

Personally I don't care about Eunjung but I would hate for something to ruin Joo Ji Hoon's comeback drama.

WILL ALWAYS WANT JOO WON IN A SPY SERIES BUT. Other than the questionable female leads and the cramped schedule, I'd love to see Joo Won playing a different side to him, you know?

I'm excited for five fingers tbh. I can't wait to see JJH again and I don't care about the eunjung scandal cause from all i've seen it's just hearsay and no actually evidence, so bring on the drama please hopefully it's good and doesn't suck cause JJH needs a win after his scandal and in addition to this one.

I think regarding the scandal if it's true that Eunjung is a bully she shouldn't be allowed to continue with this drama especially because it is JJH return to drama production. And as a victim of bullying myself who had to switch schools because "it was my own fault for being bullied" according to several teachers it's wrong to allow a bully to get a away with it.

I liked the movie version KJH and KJH had chemistry and it was a fun comedy action movie. A series would work but JW might need a break after doing bridal mask and not jump into another production that seems to be having problems. I adore Son Ye Jin, she's a fantastic actress but she's doing more film then tv work so I doubt she'd even have the time.
May queen hmmmm, I like the leads especially Jae Hee (he is fantastic in 3 iron) but I've never ever liked Han Hye Jin.

Ugh. Eunjung's scandal has gotten so bad to the point that i have a feeling it'll reflect negatively on JJH if he happens to get close/show any chemistry with her, which is of course essential for the headlining couple in a drama. The evidence has been pretty incriminating, so I doubt people will be able to think of anything else when watching her on screen, let alone be able to actively root for her as a protagonist.

Anyway I wonder how the PDs must feel at this point. The whole casting controversy with their male lead happened only a couple weeks ago and they barely decided to keep him in, and now there's a huge scandal/petition that calls for their female lead to be removed.
