I was keeping an eye out for SBS’s Giant when the potential lead actor was Kim Myung-min, but the drama has announced a different lead actor, Lee Beom-soo. This will mark Lee’s return to television two years after his last drama wrapped, SBS’s On Air.
The story of Giant is set against the urban development and economic growth period of the 1970s and depicts “one man’s ambition and love.” The series will have 50 episodes and has also cast Hwang Jung-eum (currently enjoying popularity for the sitcom High Kick Through the Roof) as Lee’s younger sister. The main female lead has not yet been finalized. Giant will replace Jejoongwon on Mondays and Tuesdays and will begin filming in April.
The story doesn’t seem like my kind of drama but I’d been curious when Kim Myung-min was eyeing the role. However, though I generally like Lee Beom-soo, he isn’t on my must-see list, so my interest in Giant will stay pretty low for the time being.

Thanks java. Thanks.
Whoever that woman in that picture is will give me nightmares for the rest of the week. Look at those eyes, that smile… This woman clearly feasts on babies and ponies to satiate her murderous cravings.
What a bummer!!! Choi Chul Ho name has been mentioned from some web sites as the potential lead…
Not a fan of Lee Beom Soo so I will skip this one…
@This Is Me Posting: LOL!
I wonder why KMM decided against this project?
@pongs,
KMM bailed on account of those eyes too.
@This Is Me Posting: Aww, I think that’s just a bad picture of her. HJE is such a cheerful, funny, and adorable person. Though a little whiny, but she’s not that bad – I think it must be the photo!
Honestly, she does look like LBM’s sister to me -_-.
While I’m not toooo excited anymore, I like LBM and HJE… so I’ll definitely keep the drama on my radar.
I usually resist my lower impulsions to comment about people’s appearances but they have unsettled me.
It’s either too much surgery OR not enough food; these two will star in the tightest-faced drama ever seen on K-tv.
I looked at the lady first and I was O.O Then I looked at the guy and I’m “……….”
I kid, I kid. I’m sure these two just had bad angles in those photos
LBS and KMM have different types! I just can’t image how will they be paring together.
Don’t fancy these two actors, sorry.
Lol @ This is me posting..my first thought was the same..wow, her look is creepy here…
