Lol how it was mentioned about the stereotypical lead... another chaebol... sigh an idea which is frankly getting oooolllldddd

yayyy!!!! I'm excited. Can't wait!!

I'm looking forward to it. I know there are folks who don't like Kim Eun Sook's works, and I myself have vascillated between ultimate love (City Hall) to okay (On Air, Lovers in Paris).

But Jang Hyuk I will check out in anything, and I'm doubly excited because I heard Yoon Sang Hyun joined as the second male lead. And I adore YSH, his eyes can make me cry like JH's can.

I am worried that Hyukie may be headed towards exhaustion if he keeps this pace up. Frankly, after the go-for-broke performance in Chuno, if I were need, I'd need to take a 6 month vacation just to return to real life.

yep....I'm happy about this one!!!!! Jang Hyuk!!!!! And it's SBS replacing Life is Beautiful so I hope it means it will air here in Hawaii on KBFD which airs SBS dramas!!!! Woooohoooo...... :-)

Thanks for the news javabeans!
But the main female lead isn't Kim Sa Rang. The CF director character that Kim Sa Rang will play is the second female lead role.
The drama is still casting its female lead. The female lead character's name will be Gil Ra Im.

And for those who are thinking that it'll be another streotypical drama..there's a big catch...Jang Hyuk and the stuntwoman female lead will change bodies...and this drama is also set in both the game world and real world..yup it sure sounds crazy hehehehe.

Wasn't his second song born like a few months ago?? He must barely see his family! And poor JH's wife will be a busy busy woman!

Also: #5, what do you mean they will change bodies?? like... he will become the stunt woman??

I'm not a fangirl of this writer! :(

but this looks pure fluff and JH showing us his inner lady...me want, kinda.

Kim Sarang's very underrated as an actress. I wish she got a shot at a proper lead in a drama.

"Jang Hyuk and the stuntwoman female lead will change bodies…and this drama is also set in both the game world and real world"

Ahh. So it's Freaky Friday-meets-the Matrix. And instead of the pill, Jang Hyuk have to choose between Kim Sa Rang or "Actress B."

I like it already.

As long as Jaebeom (ex-2PM member) doesn't join like it's rumored, it'll stay on my to-watch list.

i love jang hyuk! so i'm gonna try to watch this~

For my love of City Hall, I'll watch the next drama written by Kim Eun-sook. Then Jang Hyuk plus Yoon Sang-hyun, I am in.

@ Lucille
Yes, JH wasn't appealing to me when he was young (as in Windstruck and A Bright Girl's Success Story) but he is ageing to greatness now! He is surely one busy man as having a couple of big projects currently. A friend saw him a few days ago in the Sydney airport but wasn't fast enough (or too star-struck) to get an autograph!

Jang Hyuk sure is busy this year....does he ever take a break?

Though, as far as drama filming goes, Chinese series tend to be done filming and editing before it airs, so Hyuk has already finished filming the chinese remake of All About Eve, even if the show doesn't air until next year.

So I think he's only occupied with Secret Garden in Sept. Still...it's a lot of work. 3 dramas (as the lead) and a bunch of CFs in one year...is he a machine?

"Yes, JH wasn’t appealing to me when he was young (as in Windstruck and A Bright Girl’s Success Story) but he is ageing to greatness now! "

Here here both in terms of looks and acting. I never cared two figs (I've had figs on my mind all day due to delish fig dinner previous night) for him before "Thank You" and after TY I was like. "Whoa who is this smexy". Military service was good for JH.

I definitely would check this drama out just JH..:)) I love him in Chuno...

@ 15

even if jaebum does join, it'll most likely be a tiny tiny supporting role so i don't think that would affect the drama as a whole in any way..

que bien que jang hyuk siga trabajando y sacando nuevos proyectos es un gran actor ojala que le vaya relmente bien a este dramaaaaaaaaa

Oh, dammit! Was so hoping Jang Hyuk would somehow wind up playing the missing Lee sibling in Giant. Oh well, back to the guessing game again I guess.

*jots 'Secret Garden' down on 'shows I'm anticipating' list*

"Jang Hyuk and the stuntwoman female lead will change bodies"

Last time I watched anything to do with body exchange was 'Please Come Back, Soon-Ae', which I thought was a very entertaining drama but unfortunately isn't discussed very often.

"and this drama is also set in both the game world and real world."

What do you mean by game world? As in the virtual world of an online video game? If that's the case then that would be very interesting, and not too surprising, considering Korea's gaming culture.

"Kim Sarang’s very underrated as an actress"

Yes, I think most guys will attest to the fact that Miss Sarang was indeed very underrated in the 2006 comedy 'Who slept with her? (aka Sexy teacher)' :D

yay the tireless jang hyuk..
love it..

hmm.. seem looks like sidushq project.
sidusHq announced joined sidusHq lately

I only know Kim Sarang as that actress in the movie Hot For Teacher.... I hope she won't be one of those actresses who frequently act as risque characters. And Jang Hyuk's Penthouse Elephant was just terrible. I find it hard to like Jang Hyuk in his movies and dramas... But I am curious enough to see Kim Sarang onscreen again.

I'm actually looking forward more to Princess.....is that a sin? lol
