Production of Chuno begins filming
by | August 18, 2009 | 22 Comments

Here’s the first still released of Chuno [or Pursuing Servants, aka 추노], the new action sageuk drama on KBS. The production began filming on August 13 in Suwon with Oh Ji-ho; main lead Jang Hyuk began filming the following day.

Jang Hyuk plays a man who was originally of high birth, but a slave sets fire to his house and escapes, ruining his name and his family’s. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge, he dedicates himself to apprehending the runaway slave and gives chase.

Oh Ji-ho plays that slave on the run who, prior to his fall from grace, had been a military officer and good friends with the crown prince. His character becomes a scapegoat in a political move and is made into a slave serving government officials. He decides to make a break for it and, following his escape, fights against an immense conspiracy plot. Apparently Oh has been so busy with physical training and martial arts practice that his body (which has always been known for being well-built) is now only 2% body fat.

The grand-scale drama boasts “splendid visuals” and is written by Level 7 Civil Servant‘s Chun Sung-il, and directed by Conspiracy in the Court‘s Kwak Jung-hwan.

    2% body fat???
    Jang Hyuk’s number’s probably somewhere around there, too, I bet.
    Does this mean we’ll be seeing some awesome fight scenes? Woohoo!! :D
    Any news on Lee Jong Hyuk training? Come on, it wouldn’t be complete without a trifecta of shirtless hotness..hehe

  3. sophia

    wait, so was the female lead confirmed? is it Lee Da Hae? or are they just….starting to film without a female lead ._.

  4. Nokcha

    A ‘fit’ Ji-Ho? Um, better start that cold shower now…..

  5. pabo ceo reom

    The day I have 2% body fat or less is the day I’m lying six feet underneath the ground in my coffin, bones and all.

  6. rainbowbutterfly

    2% Quite amazing! Way below even the top fit olympic athletes! But seriouslys isn’t anything below 10% not healthy even if one is fit?

  7. asianromance

    2%, for real?!

    and lee da hae gets with jung hyuk in this one right?

  8. Bradamante

    Ahhh…
    This plot attract me so incontrovertible (in the second instance, I am eager to once again appreciate the acting of Jang Hyuk, wonderful actor).
    I will try to find time to watch it.

    Wow Oh Ji ho at 2% body fat .. I’m interested to see how he looks right now.

    2% body fat is insane. Even professional body builders don’t have it that low. How does he manage to stay healthy like that? Or does he?

  11. 11 vis

    That sounds insane really o__0

    And yeah, is Lee Da Hae the female lead or what? She probably is, since there has been no news to contra that though I do think it’s weird how it is on that front…

    2% body fat now? wow he’s extreme. He didnt even need to do ‘extra’ workout for the role, he’s already well buffed up. lol

  13. 13 Soobi

    This should be interesting. And I’m excited to see Jang Hyuk in sageuk!

    2% fat %$#&^$^* how in the world did that happen to him. Despite all my jogging and swimming effort, my body fat is still ….. T_T

    KBS website listed Lee Da Hae as the female lead, but her side never confirmed it. I guess it’s her if KBS listed her as one.

    she gets with both Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho. busy slave she is.

    I can’t wait to see this drama… I luv Mr. Hyuk.

    2% body fat is hard to believe.

    I was around 3-4% when I trained for crew and that was when I was a young buck in college and not a thirty-something that OJH is; even top professional athletes don’t get down to 2% body fat.

    lee da hae is boring so i rather not have her as the female lead… anyways, so is anybody going to be subbing this drama?

  19. 19 ...

    i love LDH I want her to be the leading

  20. 20 random

    guess you gotta skip the drama trav… she’s the female lead.

    Mr.X and WITHS2 are subbing Chuno.

    Yeah! Another Jang Hyuk drama??? Can’t wait to see him on screen again. Never get enough of his acting. He’s such a wonderful actor. Ganbate! Fighting! Jia You! Mr Jang Hyuk!
