I was actually writing up So Ji Sub’s new movie (with Kang Ji Hwan!) and was looking to see what his next project was, and got wrapped up in trying to untangle THAT mess. (So Kang Ji Hwan will have to wait for the next post.) I’d been hearing about the high-profile drama Cain &... More »

At this point I think we’re all just better off writing off the series Daemul (Big Fish) as a no-go; that way, if it ever gets made, we can be pleasantly surprised.

First we’ll have KBS’s upcoming Blue House-centered drama, the Chae Rim vehicle Rivals, after which SBS’s Daemool premieres. I first mentioned the manhwa-based project back when SBS was courting Lee Young Ae for the lead role, but Lee Young Ae turned it down, and they’ve finally settled on another female to headline in a casting...

(Whenever I see distinguished actress Lee Young Ae, I think she looks so classy.) She’s deciding on her drama comeback next year (she’s been away from television for four years, last seen in her mega-hit series Dae Jang Geum aka Jewel in the Palace), which’ll come sometime in the first half of 2008, and SBS...
