Kang Haneul is back and signed up for post-military comeback drama
by stroopwafel
Kang Haneul (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo) completed his military service and was discharged from the army on May 23. An uneventful army discharge is always a happy occasion but I’m extra excited because he’s already confirmed his comeback project, KBS rom-com When Camellia Blooms.
This will be Kang Haneul’s first-ever leading role in a rom-com and he’ll be starring alongside Gong Hyo-jin (Hit-and-Run Squad). The drama will follow Gong Hyo-jin’s romantic relationships with three men: a good man, a bad man, and a petty man.
The cast looks amazing; the other confirmed actors so far are Kim Ji-suk (Top Star Yoo Baek), Sohn Dam-bi (Witch’s Court), and Go Du-shim (Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter). Go will play Kang Haneul’s mother and she’s described as the OG girl crush, and she’s worked hard to provide for her son.
Im Sang-choon (Fight My Way) and PD Cha Young-hoon (Are You Human Too) are attached to write and direct respectively. Though they’re still working on rounding out the cast, the drama is being scheduled to premiere this September on KBS.

Thats true! I love how people or interviewers love to tease him... and then he smiled and laughed a lot. I love HIM in "Youth Over Flowers' when the Hyungs sincerely love him.. :)

OMG... this is what I have been waiting for. A Kang Ha Neul first lead role in a rom-com.
I absolutely love this man, he is such a good actor with an effortless charm and a smile that can melt my ice-cold heart.
I just hope he gets the girl!

I need to go somewhere and scream from the bottom of my lungs!
Ok dear 8th prince, I cried blood for you! Now it’s time to make me laugh and fill my heart with joy!
Gong Hyo-jin is one of my top three and I’ve been commenting “ babe, please come back to the small screen” on her IG page for like ages😂😍
And omg, hope my unicorn blesses my eyes with his abs in another “invisible shirt” scene.

On one hand, a noona romance (not my favorite). On another hand, Kang Ha Neul (<3).

Man this is going to be interesting! I mean think about it. Kim Ji Suk and Kang Haneul used to be together in Angel Eyes, but the first being an adult role while the latter being a child role. Man how the time flies!

I like Kang Haneul. Gong Hyo-jin is one of my faves. I liked Fight My Way. Everything seems so promising I'm just going to go ahead and lower my expectations so as not to be disappointed.

Good plan, lower expectations first ... easier said than done :P
Gong Hyo Jin seems to pick good projects and I, too, liked Fight My Way. The writing was good tho I must say Park Seo Joon elevated that drama for me :D

Thanks for this great news, @stroopwafel. Kang Haneul is baaaack -- and has a drama in the works to boot. For that third dude, how about Shin Dong-wook to give KHN and Kim Ji-suk a run for the money?
I'm thrilled at the prospect of seeing Gong Hyo-jin and Go Du-shim, too. I've loved GHJ since seeing her fix delinquent Gong Yoo's wagon in BISCUIT TEACHER AND STAR CANDY, and forecast rainbows and unicorns for Hwa-Shin in JEALOUSY INCARNATE. Go Du-shim was terrific as Heo Joon's mom in GU AM HEO JOON, and ripped my heart to shreds with her performance in ALL ABOUT MY MOM.

Liked Kang Haneul in Moon Lovers a lot, and I am of the persuasion that Gong Hyo-jin can do no wrong. Expectations sky-high for this one.

So happy he's back! His discharge video is so cute, he kept giggling and almost saluting out of habit. Adorbs. I can't wait for this drama, the cast is already stellar!

But I also love Kim Ji Suk... Is he going to be the 2nd lead? :3
