Lee Seon-kyun considers teaming with Awl director for JTBC drama

Lee Seon-kyun! After spending the past few years focusing on his film career (A Hard Day, The Advocate: A Missing Body, King’s Case Files), Lee Seon-kyun is eyeing a return to television with a JTBC drama titled This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair, which he is currently positively considering. The title sounds provocative, but I trust JTBC to take go with a classy approach over a salacious one, particularly with PD Kim Seok-yoon at the helm, who directed Awl last year for JTBC (which was such an awesomely well-directed show).

This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair is a remake of a Japanese drama of the same name (also known as My Wife’s Having an Affair this Week?!), and centers around a man who thinks he’s in a happy marriage, only to see a message on his wife’s phone that indicates she’s about to have an affair. He turns to the internet for advice, and what ensues is a heartwarming story as he works to repair his relationships and save his family. At least, that’s how the original series went; it’s not totally clear whether the JTBC remake will be a warm comedy too, or if it’ll take the more introspective, serious approach that characterizes many of their dramas.

Lee Seon-kyun is up to play the main character, a television PD who finds out about his wife’s affair and takes it online to social media, where he seeks help from anonymous strangers. There’s no official word on a timeslot, but This Week, My Wife Will Have an Affair is being planned as a Friday-Saturday drama on JTBC to air later this year.

Hahaha that premise where he posts anonymously reminds me of him and UTW playing around on each other's SNS: http://www.dramabeans.com/2011/03/uhm-tae-woong-lee-seon-kyuns-old-online-posts-resurface/

I love this story! I like that he asks help to woo her back. Reminds me of the real-life stuff we talk about on Open Thread.

But someone should tell him not to follow everything he reads about on the internet!

Also remember that Secret Love Affair was aired on JTBC. So yes I do trust them to do a good job. Though this show sounds significantly lighter in tone than SLA, and it's from the husband's perspective.

Man. LSK has aged since CP, but like Uhm-Force, has gotten more distinguished looking over the years.

It sounds really cute, him turning to the Internet for answers to woo his wife, but I hope that his wife didn't really mean to have an affair. I hope she just sent that as a threat to get him to work on their marriage or something.

Me too. When I read the top part of the post I was wondering how 'classy' and affair could be in the same sentence. But the premise does sound like it could be endearing.

This sounds a bit like All About My Wife, which I loved so no complaints here. Not too much to ask for a cool wife like Im Soo-jung.
Please let this be a comedy, the internet can ensue great hilarity.

This is so like Densha Otoko, where the guy get advice from internet about woman and love. So good LSG, who will be his leading lady.

In that note, why Korean not do remake on Densha Otoko yet...

I thought it's a remake of Konshu Tsuma ga Uwaki Shimasu. Or at least the description fits. I never watched a Japanese drama, only got this description from Asianwiki. Still hoping they take the comedy route with this adaptation.

Sounds interesting. I really like him. And I liked Awl, so I do have high hopes for this.

Yes!!! This return to TV is so overdue. I've been waiting forever it's not funny. I do hope this goes comedy instead of melo, though. It sounds like it could go either way. Who do you think would be a perfect leading lady? Who is not busy at the moment? Jung Yumi? Ha Ji-won? Han Ji-min?
