Yoo Joon-sang considers My Spring Day

Actor Yoo Joon-sang (The Target, Birth Secret) is considering the lead in MBC’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama My Spring Day (or the more literal translation: Spring Day in My Life), which is currently in contention to air in September after Fated to Love You.

My Spring Day centers around a woman with a terminal illness who is acutely aware her days are numbered, until she receives a heart transplant and is able to start her life anew. Yoo Joon-sang has been commissioned to play the man who falls in love with the leading lady, who has yet to be cast. (Sohn Ye-jin was courted for it, but ultimately turned down the role.) With the way things are going in dramaland, we could guess they might cast Sung Yu-ri for another reunion, but that would probably be too familiar, too soon.

Yoo Joon-sang’s rep confirmed the actor received the proposal and is seriously considering it. I’m happy to see the actor, who already is a movie vet, steadily take on leading drama roles after he charmed as Kim Nam-joo’s husband in You Who Rolled in Unexpectedly. My Spring Day will be directed by Lee Jae-dong (I Miss You) and written by Park Ji-sook (Hero — the MBC, not OCN, version).

Oh this looks lovely, but yet another melo for Joonsang-ssi? Granted, if anyone can pull it off, it's this guy! And PD-nim, with his glorious voice, let him warble a tune or two for the OST, pleeeeeeeeease?

And am I one of the few on DB that actually enjoyed MBC's "Hero"? I'm rewatching it again for the third time -- a bit raw around the edges and slightly uneven with its pacing, but the cast was adept with what they were given to work with. Me still likey!

But "My Spring Day" potentially going up against "Mr. Baek"? OH THE HUMANITY. :P

The summer dramas are not even starting yet and fall dramas seem promising already. Mr.Baek, Secret Door, and now My Spring Day.

Aww, I thought Son Ye Jin just said that it's one of the roles she's reviewing... didn't realize she had already turned it down. Hope it goes to Han Ji Min!
