javabeans: Oh holy WHAAAAATTTTT now? Jung Il-woo is replacing Joo-won in Moonsunraincloud.
girlfriday: WUT?
javabeans: Okay okay, that fantasy-sageuk romance The Moon That Embraces the Sun or whatever. You know, Moonrainbowhippiemountain.
girlfriday: Am suddenly very interested in joining this hippie commune.
javabeans: Apparently Joo-won just can’t manage to juggle it with Ojakkyo Brothers. So Jung Il-woo is now playing the older brother to Kim Soo-hyun. Eeep, who to root for now?
girlfriday: Oh I’m Jung Il-woo all the way!
javabeans: But Kim Soo-hyun is the king! And the lead!
girlfriday: But Jung Il-woo is hotter!
javabeans: Hmm, I dunno about that. They have different kinds of hotnesses. Kim Soo-hyun is more straight-up intense and introverted. He smolders like nobody’s business.
girlfriday: Ok, fine, hotter to ME!
javabeans: On the other hand, Jung Il-woo plays his hyung who purposely acts like a frivolous playboy because he doesn’t want people to back him politically and endanger his dongseng.
girlfriday: Or… he’s just a frivolous playboy?
javabeans: Ha. He’s using that cover as a cover for his cover?
girlfriday: Works for everyone.
javabeans: The thing is, Jung Il-woo is amazingly good at the show-two-sides double-identity sort of thing. Like the spoiled manchild who also feels (for the first time ever, maybe). Or the commoner by day, the masked avenger by night.
girlfriday: I STILL swoon at the memory of him as Iljimae.
javabeans: Omg. The mane of glory….
girlfriday: *GASP* Best mane of glory ever!
javabeans: He’s the OG, yo.
girlfriday: Long live the pedigree of the glorious mane of glory.

i haven’t even read the article but O.M.G!! So excited for JIW!! yaayyyyyyyy….
oh, he’s not the lead.
I should really check out Dream High….hearing soo many good things abt KSH!!
Do it do it do it…began watching it Thursday and am on episode 13 or 14 now. SO good.
oh you will never regret it… you’ll miss half of your life if you did not watch Dream High!

Joo Won turned down MBC’s MoonSun because He wanted to be a single top male lead, and he is the male lead candidate of another drama – KBS’s ‘각시탈‘(bride mask?) based on cartoon.
if what you wrote is right Joo won is not very smart. Park Shi Hoo made a career at being the second lead in dramas and stealing the show from underneath the lead. I am sure Jung Il Woo is eyeing the same strategy. I know am will be tuning in to this drama for Jung Il Woo not the other guy whomever he may be. So Jung Il Woo wins here.
looking back now. joo won made the right decison
HAHAHA I was thinking about that too. Slow news day?
Why are we backreading last year’s posts AND comments? O_O
That first picture –omomo is to swoon for
HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!!! jUNG iL WOOO RULES!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I completely approve.
Jung Il Woo and Kim Soo Hyun in the same drama! I am definitely watching this drama now.
Me, too! I hope we get some double Mane of Glory action sometime during the show’s run….
life is complete
indeed
amen
Agreed! They are both SO hot, and excellent actors! What more could I want from a drama? Even if the plot sucks, I’d watch it just to see what these actors do with what theyr’e given.
Oh my gosh!
)
JUNG IL WOO!!
Im going to watch Return Of Iljimae all over again! (For the nth time?
My head is going to explode! Two hot dudes THAT CAN ACT?! who do I choose?!
Ohhhh my goodness… I’m pretty thrilled about the lineup right now. When does it start airing again? I need to stock up my fridge and liquor cabinet… I have a feeling that I won’t be leaving my couch for a few weeks in 2012.
Too much to watch! I have to start training my eyes, or buy glasses.
Jung Il Woo and Kim Soo Hyun in saguek hair…This drama is gonna be so HOT!
Yep, can’t cope with all the hotness. This better not be one of those casting fakeouts – cos that would depress me!
now they need to change the lead girl…someone younger,
This needs awesome rookie Jung So Min. That girl has been MIA for so long!
How I wished he was the lead! With more screen time to smoulder up my screen.
You guys always make my day! LOL Love the glorious mane of glory!!
javabeans: Ha. He’s using that cover as a cover for his cover? —–> way to use the word cover in a sentence and 3 at that!!!hehehe:D
Jung Il-woo AND Kim Soo-hyun? Yeah, totally checkin’ this one out.
OMGOMGOMG, who to root for?!?
I was anticipating Joowon’s acting in a sageuk, but definitely don’t want him to be overworked trying to juggle Ojakgyo with this drama!
Anyhow, Jung Ilwoo… wow.
A lot of people are going to catch the second lead syndrome!
DEFINITELY GOING TO WATCH THIS, KIM SOO HYUN & JUNG IL WOO, HOTNESS OVERLOADDD.
On top of that, same novelist as Sungkyunkwan Scandal? THIS DRAMA IS GOING TO BE AMAZING.
This is super exciting!!!
Yay manes of glory – I think Jung Il Woo looks better in his mane of glory than in his current look for FBRS..
I cannot wait to have Kim Soo Hyun on my screen again
*goes to re-watch Dream High in the mean time*
OMGGG kim soo hyun AND jung il woo??????? all the more reason to watch this drama now
DDDD i havent watched jung in anything yet, so i’m automatically biased toward my soo-hyunie. i think the amt of hot, smoldering, angsty gazes in this drama will be too much to handle gahh!!
you don’t know how badly i wish jung il woo was hot to me, but, since he’s not, KIM SOO HYUUUNNN!!! yessssss.
even though the drama hasn’t aired yet, my mind’s had kim soo hyun and joo won battling it out in my head since the joo won news. it’s too bad he’s not in this! but, i’m sure the drama will still soar.
only downside i hope becomes an upside: why….. han.. ga….. in…. ???
grrrrr. thinking of all the ladies who could’ve played opposite the two men and i am not happy. i’m really rooting for some show of awesome from han ga in, i really am, but still.. sigh… gonna do some hating and wish for a replacement. heh. no, i want han ga in to do well because i want to LOVE this drama, but… buuuut…… :’(
such sorrow thinking of all the younger, wide eyed actresses that would fit the role of weird shaman girl.
I knoooooow. Damn, I cannot stop wishing they had casted Moon Geun-young instead of her…
But whatever, I am SO watching it. We have two young angst masters (in the good way) and this is going to be one HELL of a bromance !!!
crazedlu, OMG I thought I was the only one!! I can’t find JIW hot for the life of me, even though I’m trying my damnedest to see what everyone else sees…sigh…but STILL KIM SOO HYUN!!!!
Also, I’m not too excited about Han Ga-in, but here’s hoping she’ll blow us all away with hitherto unsuspected acting skills.
I SWOON NAO. <3333
Oh crap, this really is a dilemma. Darn you FBRS for making me a Jung Il-woo fangirl!
Gahhhhh…too..much…hotness!!! Everything seems perfect except for Han Ga In. Her acting is so-so, and I can’t imagine her in any romantic scenes with these boys >.<.
ugh yeah… if they can replace her, i’d be completely onboard with this drama. pleassssse drama gods.
Noooooooo!! I really wanted to see joo won in this!
Me too!!!!
I want Joo Won in here!!!!!!
no offence to JIW fans….between those two..I prefer Joo Won!!!
Me Three!!! I was so looking forward to seeing Joo Won. I like JIL but I LURVE Joo Won.
woooowww!! so excited for this drama!!
OMFG YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I have no words!! Gah, the pretty in this drama.
Also, this means Jung Ilwoo effectively never really sleeps this year. Boy is on a revenge for being too lax last year, or what?
and the roles that he’s been taking are very… not conventional male lead too. I’m very happy haha.
Revenge with a vengeance indeed
Kim Soo-hyun AND Jung Il-woo in the same drama?
…
Mind. Blown.
But…now I’m even more dissatisfied about Han Ga-in. I feel like these two will completely eclipse her.
Oh yeah. Now I’m reminded there’s a female lead that I don’t feel excited about. *shrugs* It could’ve been worse. Just happy it’s not an…idol from SME.
*gasp!* Yes, let’s thank the drama gods for that. lol
I don’t know anything about this actress, or how good/bad she is. It seems that they can get what they need out of a lesser actress in a saguek because apparently, you are not able to show your true feelings. Very Jane Austen -ish.
Unless, that is, you are the bad guy(girl), or maybe a cross-dresser, then you are allowed. Ha!
yea i figured Joo Won wouldn;t be able to handle both since it doesn’t look like OB would be over anytime soon…but good God if this isn’t a dilemma!…also a little surprised that Jung Il Woo would take on a second lead role to Kim Soo Hyun when he’s more like the sunbae here….hmmmmm…that said I’m soooo excited for this!! and damn if Jung Il Woo isn;t on fire this year…it’s been like one project after another with barely 2 months of gap in between each…i hope he takes care of his health
Which shows how smart JIW is.
He seems to be building up his resume, rather than looking for first lead roles only.
I can’t say “roles that don’t spotlight him” because even as The Scheduler, a non OTP character, he held our attention every second he was on screen.
Playing a second lead to KSH? Omo, this is going to be so tough to ship consistently, I’ll need a water taxi.
He seems to be building up his resume, rather than looking for first lead roles only.
Agreed
Am I in heaven?
Ummhh…Jung Il Woo…Kim Soo Hyun…mane of glory..Yup! Heaven it is.
Oh my, this is going to hurt real bad…Chwa and Samdong-aahhh
AHHH! I can’t even. Omg. Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*jumps up and down*
I don’t know who I love more this website or JIW or the fact that you show love for all things JIW. So looking forward to JIW sageuk mane of glory.
I have to say MATH proves this.
We have 2 leads in the story, and 4 photos.
Photos of KSH= 0
Photos of JIW = 4
That means there are like 367% more photos of JIW, or something.
What? Heeheeheehee…Now, all it needs is Yoo Ah-in, then I can die happy.
Kim Soo-hyun! Jung Il-woo!
Though I’m a little sad that Joo Won’s not gonna be in it, JIW is a great replacement. BTW, has anyone seen ep.36 of Ojakgyo? *giggles* Finally, right?
OMG I just watched it. And the last scene twice. *swoons* I can’t wait for next week!
WhaaTT??? throw Yoo Ah-In in the mix? Yup, that would be a great recipe to kill fan girls all over the world by heart attack.
why did he choose to be a second lead again?!!
i’m remembering Iljimae too!
i was addicted to that series!!
The drama is based off a novel, so at least he knows he’s not going to get shafted like he was in My Fair Lady. It’s probably a meaty second role. This novel’s written by the Sungkyungkwan Scandal writer- and everyone was more obsessed with the second leads, Moon Jae Shin Gu Yong Ha, than with Lee Sun Joon.
Can’t wait!
LOLed at “meaty second role.”
How true that is.
OMG! i shudder at the memory of what had become of his character in My Fair Lady… plus the crazy perm they gave him around the middle third of the drama. totally to make him less pretty and not to outshine the male lead pus his character was written to be very bland.
Well, not “everyone”..I seem to be one of the only ones that liked Lee Sun Joon much more than Moon Jae Shin… he was just so different from the stereotypical “mean, overly arrogant, can’t deal with people lower than him rich guy” I always see in dramas… sigh…
But maybe it’s good that Jung Il-Woo is the second lead, it gives him less pressure and a little more break after he finishes with his current drama…
I’m glad that Joo Won is out. I’m so tired of seeing the poor guy NEVER get the girl. He deserves the lead and the chick!
On the other hand, best casting ever!!
Can’t wait to watch my hubby Kim Soo Hyun SMOLDER.
you should check out ojakyo brothers then ;D absolutely adorable
When didn’t he get the girl?
are they trying to kill us or what?
HOTNESS JUNG IL WOO. to dramagods be the GLORY!!
First, 6Pack.
And now, this. They’re just trying to kill us all, aren’t they!?
Death by Hotness, Abs & Cuteness. At least we’ll be smiling when we’re discovered.
Smiling and dehydrated from all the drooling…
I’d have to say the best mane of glory belongs to Park Shi-hoo in the Princess’s Man! I know this post is about Jung Il-woo but I have to defend my man!!
Pardon me. 24 year old going fan girl crazy here.
Yay! Nice to meet you. I am a PSH fan too! He’s special. I only have 2 favorite actors. The other one is Kim Nam Gil.
Kim Nam-gil. How I loved his hair in Queen Seon-deok. Well I love PSH but I also like a lot more…cuties…out there. I can’t resist, you know. They’re all so cute! And hot without me realizing it until I watched them being uber sexy (Jung Il-woo
)
Kim Nam Gil forever. 220 more days till he gets out of the army.
I love Park Shi-hoo too (love him more in QoR) but imo his mane of glory in PM seems too neat, one would think that the rebel has a comb in his pocket somewhere. I said this with all the love that I have to PSH tho ^^
Whereas Jung Il-woo mane of glory in ROI *sigh*
http://greatimg.com/img1/1/e2/1e2428e758118a23.jpg
the wind makes love with it. It IS the best ever, second place Moon Jae Shin’s.
“the wind makes love with it” LMAO Awesome way to describe the sexiness of the mane.
I agree with your ranking, too. MAN, Moon Jae Shin was freaking hot!
Haha, that’s true. But he isn’t devil may care sort of rebel so I think the quite mane fits his character of a quite assassin.
My vote is for PSH’s mane of glory too!
omg.am excited.
a little sad to not see joo won in another drama but probably a better idea for him to rest up and continue being as awesome as he has been doing in ojakyo brothers
i’m sure many of the JIW fangirls are happy esp seeing as how he’s gotten new followers from FBRS but hope he rests up! busy man
I think this hippie commune is gonna be heavily populated by Beanies! “Moonsunraincloud” reminds me of Soleil Moon Frye.
Super psyched to see KSH and JIW together. I have yet to watch RoI (I’m saving it for a rainy day) but I find it hard to believe that there exists a mane more glorious than Guh Ro’s.
Aww, am I the only one who wanted to see some Baker Tak Gu rehash?
I’m actually loving Joo Won after seeing him appear in quite a few variety shows. He and Jung Il Woo have different types of handsome (as does KSH)… so I’m not upset…
just sad for the role lost for Maa Jun
I feel like it could have been an interesting marker in his career.
All the better for Jung Il Woo, and his mane of glory, I suppose…. I’m excited. I think I’m going to end up rooting for the older brother. Such a sucker for people who put on a happy facade despite their troubles
Sooooo much hotter than broody broody heroes.
I wanted to see Joo Won on this too. I’m kind of sad… but then I’m not because is Jung Il Woo!!!
SO totally not relevant….expect for the fact that Jung Il Woo and Kim Bum are besties….
Padam Padam trailer is out now AND ab scenes. Of both Jung Woo Sung and Kim Bum….TOGETHER.

Studying for finals, I SO needed that. My oozing brain thanks you.
Jung Il-woo’s Return of Iljimae hair… *swoons*
Heart attack.
Right now I can’t think any of word to describe my feeling.
I had goosebumps reading this news…
2 hot boys, oh my…
and with costume and hair!
can’t wait!!!!!!
Jung Il-woo all the effing way!
o well joo won needs the free time to date uee. his crush on her is too apparent.
yayy to jung il woo
nyehh to han ga-in.
But. . but. . I’ve been waiting to see Joo Won in sageuk drama. . *sigh*..

This is happy news!
That is exactly how I feel. I mean i love Kim Soo-Hyun, but (and its a BIG BUT) JUNG IL WOO!!!
Its going to be so difficult rooting for KSH with HIM around. Im going to want him to get the girl! But It’ll be so awesome seeing him with his Sageuk hair again. MANE OF GLORY FTW!
UGH. WHAT TO DO? They are both sooo cute. But Jung Il Woo is cuter…….
ugh. ugh. ugh.
*grinning while reading the posts here
*..
Well,I’m a fan of PSH and heard some rumors that he will be the main lead in this drama. After the excitement, it turns out to be Joo Won,who had caught my interest in Baker King. Buuut, now it turns out to be Jung Il Woo..
Well, it’s still okay. He’s gorgeous in Iljimae. . *I still prefer PSH or Joo Won, though*
,ok Han Ga in is one lucky woman. Aside from being married to Mr. Vampire Prosecutor, she is now to be wooed by KHS and JIW? *green with envy*..
Okay you can’t have both guys rock the Mane of Glory.
Are they trying to kill us and they can both act. In fact they all act and the writer is great.OMG
* spaced out now* from the news.
—KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……faint…….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HOMAYGAAAAAAD.
yes! i like kim soo hyun.. but for me jung il woo is way more hotter! ready for second lead syndrome like yoo ah in aka moon jae shin did to me in sungkyunkwan scandal ^_^
What if he is not playing second role? What if his role is like Ko Hyun Jung role in Queen Seon Deok? He is just gonna be awesome on his own…both of them can be awesome
I don’t watch sageuks, but for Il-Woo I can watch anything
Too bad I’m not that in Sageuk drama *sigh*. Call me crazy but with long hair IMHO JIW resembles BYJ just add a lot hotness factor.
Ok, I’m breathless right now. I loved Kim Soo Hyun in Dream High and I was hooked by his new drama I was going to watch it anyway. But now that Jung Il Woo is joining… Ottoke! I fell hardcore for him. His Iljimae still haunts me in dream
The problem is that I never fall for the second lead. Like never. Even Yoo Ah In didn’t woo me and he was pretty a good second lead. I always root root for a lead guy. So what now? Am I going to root for second lead for the first time??? Or am I still be rooting fot main lead? I can already predict a war between Il Woo and Hyun Soo fans
