Nam Sang-mi back in Life Is Beautiful
by javabeans
Nam Sang-mi, Yoo Min
Looks like the disagreement is at an end: actress Nam Sang-mi has officially signed back on to the upcoming drama Life Is Beautiful, only a week after dropping out due to a “difference of opinion” with producers that could not be resolved (at the time). The drama has also added another actress, Yoo Min, as well as being the drama (but not acting) debut of former Seeya singer Nam Gyuri.
Yoo Min is the stage name of Japanese actress Fueki Yuko, who has a number of Korean dramas to her credit, including Bad Housewife, Wuri’s Family, and All In. She also had a recent stint on IRIS portraying a Japanese spy. In Jeju Island-based Life is Beautiful, she plays a cheerful Korean woman who grew up in Japan, who falls for Song Chang-eui‘s character. Nam, meanwhile, plays a cute, mid-twentysomething young woman with an affectionate relationship with her doting parents and a lot of popularity with men.
The drama premieres on March 13 following SBS’s Smile.

A tiny bit confused. Is Nam Sang-mi in a different role or in the same one she had before she left?
Either way, I'll still be watching this.

Glad Nam Sang Mi is back. I was thinking about not watching it since she's out. I love her in these high spirit characters.
Man why do they make these so long. 30 is good..but 50...eck.. wonder if any groups will even sub this.

Nam Sang-mi's drama roles are always the same: cute, bubbly type of character.

Great news! Now I have two Jeju island based dramas to look forward to in March with this one and Paradise Ranch.
@ Anna
She wasn't really cute n bubbly in ToDaW, and has had a couple of serious roles in horror movies.

I'm always curious - do Japanese actresses in Korean dramas use primarily Japanese or Korean?

Nice to see Yoo Min back to doing more Korean dramas.
@Molly
Depends on the actor/actress, but most usually end up speaking primarily Korean.
Yoo Min is fluent in Korean so pretty much all her roles have her speaking Korean.

I think NSM is a good actress besides being pretty and cheerful. I didn't know about her until I watched "Taming of the Heir".
