This project has been ongoing since 2007 and, I think, even before War of Money (both War and Daemul were manhwa from the same author.) It’s, on paper, one of the greatest non-sageuk female star vehicles ever put together — it’s a well-regarded manhwa, it is a What-If about the first would-be woman leader of their beloved nation, implicitly whoever plays the female president is reasserting her claim as queen among drama queens, etc.

Which is why SBS has long tried to land the uber-list for this role. Before Go Hyun Jung, SBS were trying to get Lee Young Ae (for years!!) or Kim Hee Ae, both who can bring big fanbases by reputation alone. I think they were even flirting with the idea of going younger with the female lead, and casting a Kim Sun Ah or even a Yoon Eun Hye. Daemul was and is literally the “big fish” SBS has been trying to land.

I’m bringing that up, because on most other circumstances, this project would be dead already.

this really bites! The production team should just scrap this drama and plan for a new one. And how long can it take to cast someone?

There seems to be more drama off air then on air… hopefully this happen…

Go Hyun Jung a great actress… like to see what she will bring to the role…

And if Kwon Sang Woo is still on… man that guy have a lot to proof after this recent fiasco….

Crossing fingers…

GHJ has to be careful with this Production co. Yigim is the one behind the messy of pre production of YEH latest drama “My Fair Lady”. They’re also having problem before with Park Shin Yang that cause him been banned from Korean drama. So after these fiasco I’m confuse at why top star like GHJ & KSW still want to work with them…

what makes me rather confused was, why all the problem is related to her?
I thought KSW’s current state is more worrying, since he got some criticism after his hit and run accident, and I read somewhere even the polices who was on the job when it happened got punishment.

Anyway, I hope this drama will able to live the premise, because the story is interesting, and I really want to see GHJ again – I skipped Queen Seonduk.
