Masked Prosecutor confirms leads, courts Ohn Joo-wan
by javabeans
Well, it’s nice to to have a drama these days being so straightforward with its casting news: Joo Sang-wook (Birth of a Beauty) and Kim Sun-ah (I Do, I Do) were previously considering KBS’s upcoming Masked Prosecutor, and now they have confirmed. Possibly joining them is Ohn Joo-wan, who’d be hopping from one prosecutor drama to another; his last was the SBS series Punch earlier this year.
Masked Prosecutor is about a prosecutor (Joo Sang-wook) who gets frustrated with cases he’s unable to solve while in his prosecutor guise, and decides to take care of those matters outside of the law. Kim Sun-ah’s character is a detective chief in the violent crimes unit, which should be fun — her job aligns with the hero’s daytime persona, but clashes with the vigilante secret identity.
The character Ohn Joo-wan is considering is an antagonist to the hero, a prosecutor who is a key member in a group of influential power players. He also happens to be the son of parents who betrayed Joo Sang-wook’s father… and he’s also Joo Sang-wook’s half-brother. I’m taking it the betrayal isn’t even referring to whatever kind of infidelity was involved in producing that twist in the family tree, but something bigger. Having risen to success quite quickly in his career, Ohn Joo-wan’s character has an unbending idea of justice, believing that the logic of those in power is right. Gack, that sounds like a headache. Can our vigilante hero knock some sense into him, please?
Masked Prosecutor follows current Wednesday-Thursday drama Unkind Women and premieres in mid-May.

I love Kim Sun ah so I'm excited to see her in this drama even though I'm not interested in the storyline.

Not complaining but genuinely curious why are there so many more casting news posts now and why do they change so rapidly? Has it always been like this or is this a new development in the kdrama industry?

I'm sooo excited abt Kim Sun-ah's return. Excuse me while I do my happy dance. *Insert rhythmless dance break here* Sang-wook in the mix makes it even better!
But . . . I can't say I'm excited abt Ohm Joo-wan in a villain role. I never like him in those roles. I think he's much better suited for the sweet and hapless but perhaps this drama will change my mind.
Either way, I look forward to it!

Didnt see him in The Five. I've only seen him in a few dramas, like the jerk-face ex-boyfriend in Twelve Men in a Year. When I saw him in Surplus Princess I finally liked him.
How was The Five, by the way? That's one of the movies I was really interested in during the promos but it took so long to make it to the States (if it's made it at all) I forgot to keep looking out for it.

Its a thriller movie and very dark, I barely watch the ending because of the violence, with Kim Sun Ah the protagonist being throw out and beaten, I can't stand it but overall its a good movie, Ohn Joo wan killing it, his as a crazy murderer.

Too old in comparison to whom or what? A newborn, a student, a mother or the Pyramides maybe... put all the almost 40 and (certainly!) the 40+ women out of their misery! Send them to a retirement home, now...they have gone wild by asking jobs and...OMG, an actual life!

Haha, @ Kalel, I have to agree. What is the deal with women in regards to age. JSW is 36 and she is 39 it is not that big of a stretch. We never hear about men being to old for parts. They can age gracefully with no worries and no ridicule. KSA is a wonderful actress and I would prefer to see a beautiful "old" women with true acting chops over a little doe eyed teen anyday. I am tired of seeing little girls in all the drama roles. I want to see real women who are able to portray life experience on screen. I am 34 so maybe I feel this way because I am almost at retirement myself. lol

Word! Incidentally, I'm the same age as you, which may account for our similar sentiments, haha. I am actually really happy with the casting of these 2 leads because I have confidence in their acting chops. Viewers who find either of the leads too old can just stay away from the drama.

also if they are supposed to be professionals who work together as equals it would also make no sense to cast a young actress. we can't have a maknae storyline in every drama that would be boring.

So excited for this one! Plot sounds good, and I love JSW, so I'll definitely be checking it out.
On another note, I wish all dramas would wait to give us their casting news until it's actually confirmed rather than publicly running through a list before they decide on anyone.
