Jang Geun-seok plays another musician in new drama

This information had come out earlier as a possibility, but now it’s confirmed: Jang Geun-seok will be returning to television in the KBS miniseries Mary Stayed Out All Night, which is based on a manhwa that was written by the same creator of the Full House manhwa.

Although the character was originally described as the vocalist of a death metal band, now he’s been tweaked to be a free-spirited hippie who’s the lead vocalist of an indie band. His rival in the love triangle is his complete opposite: a perfect type of guy with a good background and prestigious education. For 100 days, Mary will have an “imaginary marriage” (as in simulated) with both guys; the exact circumstances remain unclear but it intrigues me.

Jang Geun-seok said, “Because Mary Stayed Out All Night is about music, I felt more burden in choosing it. I thought that I might be fixing my image with musician roles. [But] I read the synopsis and script and found it so fun that I was strongly drawn to it. In particular, I grew more and more attached to the character of Mu-gyul, who lives a bohemian lifestyle. Living a non-mainstream life, he has pain from his childhood that he tries not to show on the outside, and I found him very human and appealing.”

For the lead role of Mary, rumors popped up recently that Moon Geun-young was considering it, but no decisions have been made. It would be lovely to see her in a romantic comedy, though.

Writing the drama will be Goong and Love & Marriage‘s In Eun-ah, while directing is Hong Seok-gu of last year’s lauded short drama Kyung-sook, Kyung-sook’s Father as well as the inaugural Drama Special episode, Red Candy.

Mary Stayed Out All Night is planning for a November premiere.

I am beyond happy with JGS' TV comeback! And the fact that MGY is being considered as the female lead is a sweet icing on the cake. The role of Mary will bring out another side of MGY. Her acting is definitely at par with JGS. And they look oh so lovely together when they presented an award at this year's Baeksang =D

"...free-spirited hippie who’s the lead vocalist of an indie band."

With that description, we should brace ourselves for some more 'unique' outfits and hair styles from him.

I can just imagine him jumping for joy about choosing his 'style' for the drama... hahahaha

Am I only the 2nd person who doesn't like her? And does this mean no guyliner? That might be a good thing, though I did learn to love it in YAB.

This is probably not the right thread for this, but may I put in a request for a special edition of a rotating header? The one that says, "I will have your tears for breakfast"- Can it be edited to remove "tears" and change "your" to "you"? It sounds so much better and I can hang it on my mirror to motivate me to get up and out of bed in the morning....pretty please???

If she joined I would watch this even if he was a country singer.

But, but! Indie music! Yeah, baby.

Thinking about it, I don't think typecasting him in a musician's role will be a problem, because the musical elements were never what was compelling about his previous roles anyway. Well, for me.

Death Metal band member sounds more provocative than an indie free spirited hippie. Sounds ho-hum,boring. Would have liked to see JGS playing that part instead. MGY I love, but can't see her as Mary, a romantic comedian? Will watch JGS in anything.

Well, it happened after all. Can't say I'm not worried, but no use worrying now. I also preferred the death metal band idea. It's more provocative and we'd have some metal music, which I do like, but that's a personal taste thing.

Plus, no metal might mean (please, let it mean that!) no guyliner! If I see guyliner on a hippie, I'm gonna be pissed beyond words...

I hope Moon accepts the role because I understand she is a well respected actress and not really idol material. She could bring some prestige to this because I don't think Keun Suk and his fanbase have any right now.

Don't get me wrong, he's a talented guy and I'm a big fan, but he doesn't exactly carry a mature audience with him.

The simulated marriage idea sounds interesting. I didn't get that in the manhwa, unless I missed something because it was in Korean. Sounds interesting enough. Kind of promiscuous and too "Big Love" for modern society and for my likes, but I guess they might deliver it in a less "wtf" way.

Let's see what they'll make out of this.

Based on the title of the manhwa, Mary is THE main character am I correct(title-role)? Because if not, I doubt it if MGY will play as a support(leading lady) to JGS.

And of course, for someone like MGY to take part on this drama, they need to have a well-respected director and writer.
