Kang Ji-sub makes sageuk debut in The Duo

Another actor has been added to The Duo, MBC’s upcoming buzz project: Kang Ji-sub, who joins castmates Chun Jung-myung, Han Ji-hye, and Lee Sang-yoon in the switched-at-birth sageuk drama where boys born to a nobleman and a slave are swapped and grow up living each other’s lives.

Kang Ji-sub, the 29-year-old actor of Fine Windy Day and Women in the Sun, will play Chun-dong’s (Chun Jung-myung) only friend in the drama, and is also the leader of a gang that is dominant in the region. Described as extremely loyal, he’s a man who’ll risk his life for his friend.

Kang debuted in 2005’s Love In Heaven, and will be making his first foray into the sageuk genre with The Duo. He’s currently busy training in martial arts for what I anticipate will be many action scenes. Hmm, looks like there are a number of sageuk newbs in this drama, although that’s not automatically a bad thing…

The Duo will air in February, after the recently extended Queen of Reversals wraps.

I love historical dramas, but... ANOTHER switched-at-birth saguek?
Thats like the number one cliche in historical dramas. EVER.
Oh well... Can't judge a drama by its synopsis. I've learned that lesson already. :)

maybe with the lack of modern technology and record-keeping, getting switch at birth was a more common occurrence?? =D

Thanks for that mouth watering image. How the heck am I going to explain to my boss why I keep salivating at work? This will not do. It will not do at all. XD

He was adorable in FWD! So cute. I dunno how he'd fare in a sageuk, but I was planning on watching it anyway so I guess we'll see. :)

I like Kang Ji-sub. I thought he did well on Good Days When the Wind Blows (I only was able to get through 77 episodes) and the short lived HaHaMong Show.

Queen Seon Deok was due to KNG and the actress who play Mishil.. DY was good until the extended episode was not that great....

I mean that Queen Seon Deok was good due to KNG who played Bidam and the actress who is in Daemul who played Mishil......

Im glad they are not having chun playing BOTH of the men that were switched. That was annoying in Cinderella man (?...the one where kwon sang woo was in).
YAY!
looking forward to it!
