Wow, with a cast like this, my interest is piqued: Ha Jung-woo (The Chaser), Park Hee-soon (A Barefoot Dream), and Jang Hyuk (Chuno, pictured above) have all been cast in a suspense thriller film called The Client.
Ha Jung-woo plays a lawyer struggling to prove his client’s innocence of a murder charge. Jang plays the suspect who is accused of killing his wife, and “holds the key to the truth.” His lawyer goes up against the public prosecutor in a fierce battle of wits and wills; the latter will be played by Park Hee-soon.
Sure, we’ve seen this story explored in movies before, but with this trio of actors, I’m anticipating lots of intensity, suspense, and (um, to be shallow — I am only human) hotness. All are actors with screen presence and loads of charisma, not to mention acting talent. This ought to be fun.
The Client is currently in the final stages of pre-production and is scheduled to begin shooting at the end of November.

yes, anticipating hotness…XD
I do like the 1994 US version of The Client.
Sigh… Jang Hyuk is the client?. I would prefer to see him as the badass lawyer for the bad guys. Oh well…
I like The Client too. So I’m tootallly stoaked to be able to see those 3 play in it. I have a feeling of awesome in the making!!!!
i like the client US version too.. That’s why i love Brad Renfro since i was a kid.. **sigh..**
The last guy was hot.
Jang Hyuk AND Park Hee-soon? SO. EXCITED.
I haven’t had any experience with Ha Jung-woo, but I’ll be taking your word about his acting skills, Javabeans.
Heh. I do like to paddle in the shallow end myself. That is an AWESOME pic of Jang Hyuk. The combination of long (YUM) hair and nerdy glasses…oh Lordy, I just want to muss him up even more.
Thanks JB!
“I’m anticipating lots of intensity, suspense, and (um, to be shallow — I am only human) hotness”
…i thought you’re some kind of goddess?
but yes, this sounds, and looks good.
Whaaaat?! So you’re a shallow person, jb?
Don’t worry hun, we are all right there with ya
….Jank Hyuk (“Thank you” drama)…. definitely looking forward to see him again!!
Agree with Kiara… much better the lawyer role for him?
We love you, Jank Hyuk!!
I love Jang Hyuk and I enjoyed Chuno… but I have to say- I definitely prefered his shorter hair phase (i.e. Thank you) over this. Still… can’t deny he’s hot either way.
I have to disagree, I love the longer hair
On these Korean men Yes lol.
I love Park Hee Son… he’s such a great actor… I’ve seen most of his films and have enjoyed his performance immensely… looking forward to this. Thanks for the heads up, JB
Me, too! He has charisma–way more than some of the really pretty faces out there.
Same here! He is my favorite Korean actor! I liked him in EIA (my first encounter with him) and then I pretty much saw 70% of all the movies he’s been in and love him. @obivia: I totally agree. He has charisma. He can play from psychopath to heartbroken loser to high profile mobster and rock in all of them.
I’ll be waiting in anticipation for this movie. Not only does it have my fave PHS but an additional HJW + JH = EPIC x 1,000,000,000!
Fan of the mane of glory here. If they really have JH signed on the dotted line, I’m SO looking forward to this.
Ummm, yeah and the shallow end of the pool makes easier to paddle your float to the side and get drinks from the cabana boy.
omg jang hyuk and ha jung woo in the same movie?! WANT. (hotness indeed!)
I know right, I loved Ha Jung Woo in Never Forever and Jang Hyuk in Chuno (it always goes back to Chuno).
Ha Jung-woo is the first one of my best K-actors list with his charisma and also acting skill. look forward to^^
Wow…definitely looking forward to this! Seriously that is one talented cast!
Oh my favorite actor Jang Hyuk! Plus HJW and PHS! I am sooooooo looking forward to this movie. The lawyer role for Jang Hyuk? That would be awesome, but I find, casting Jang Hyuk as a suspect rather than a lawyer or a prosecutor, makes this more exciting. I am becoming hyped as imagining how he would portray the suspect in the movie.
Yes…hotness overload
This is something to look out for
This sounds so good! I will definitely look forward this watching this drama.
I’m looking forward for this movie. I love all three actors especially Ha Jung Woo. He was so great in The Chaser as serial killer. All three of them has load of charisma and acting skill more than just a preety face.
*____*
This is definitely a must-see. *nods*
*stares at all the pics*
wow!
yes … i absolutely agree. they are all great actors!! i can’t wait.
Is this going to be based off of John Grisham’s book of the same name? I believe the 1994 US movie of the same title is an adaption of the book.
John Grisham is a magnificent writer.
that is such a great photo of jang hyuk. i’m sure the hair will give way to something else soon, so in the meanwhile i’m drinking it in.
