Park Hae-jin eyes an immediate return to dramaland in JTBC’s Man to Man
by javabeans
Glad to see Park Hae-jin is ready to jump back to work after his last drama kind of imploded, and so far the fan reaction to this latest news is pretty much mine, in hoping he’ll have better luck this time.
He is currently considering a drama for JTBC called Man to Man, and it’ll be produced by the production company Drama House, which has a number of critically lauded projects to its name: Secret Love Affair, A Wife’s Credentials, Yoo-na’s Street (all of which were also on JTBC). It’s described as a story of a star actor and the bodyguard who is brought in to protect him, with Park Hae-jin up to play the bodyguard.
My first thought was that the star would be an actress and the two would fall in love, a la Bodyguard — not a bad setup, but a familiar one — but on second thought, it seems more likely to be a male actor. Aside from the title being Man to Man, there’s also mention of bromance, which I find encouraging.
In any case, this production company has proven itself more than capable of nuanced, thoughtful, and emotional material, so I’m expecting they’ll find a solid writer and director team… if only for their sakes, since there may be rioting if not. After the Great Cheese Controversy, public sentiment is overwhelmingly on Park’s side right now, and whether or not it’s accurate, the prevailing belief is that Park was wronged badly by the Powers In Charge of Cheese in the Trap, which has resulted in a very protective attitude toward him. Park’s involvement in Man to Man will likely bring it a lot of extra attention, and it’s probably great time to tackle a new project while there’s so much love being thrown his way.
Man to Man is looking to broadcast toward the end of the year on JTBC.

I love bodyguard story. But usually it involves a lady star and her bodyguard. Why not a lady bodyguard and a male star indeed. I think the one like that was drama Unformidable Rival.
I want Ma Dong Seok in it but he already confirmed in another drama. Is Jo Dong Hyuk busy?

Oh dear God make Jo Dong Hyuk the star! Why did you have to mention that fine looking man in connection with this drama? I mean, with those muscles he wouldn't need a bodyguard so of course it's just wishful thinking and quite frankly I'll be happy with anyone as long as there is a good bromance, but JO DONG HYUK! Why isn't he in more shows so I can look at him?

Since it's the production behind SLA, I am all for it. They better have a good PD and writing team as that drama.
In regards to Park Hae Jin, I don't think he was the victim at all. Actually, he was the smartest person in the room when he separated himself from the drama before it ended. He knew the last two episodes were going into the makjang territory. Looking back at it, the writers had no idea how to end the drama from the beginning. And that's what sucks considering it was pre-produced. So, don't victimize the actor. His "apology" was actually done to protect his image. If he didn't, he would have been crucified for that awful ending.
Still, he is still a darn good actor. I will watch this drama if he confirms.

But this is the way the real world works: There's always outtakes from productions. Some stuff always gets cut. And KDs are notorious for changing the story lines during the course of production.
I find it a little manipulative to suggest that it was a personal injustice. He's not entitled to whatever screen time he wants or to dictate how the network/PD decide to tell the story.
Now, if he said that he wouldn't have agreed to the role if he knew what they were ultimately going to do with the character...that'd be fair. But he didn't say that.

1. Only up to ep 4 was filmed so it wasn't pre-produced. PD changed the story mid-way and fans voiced their dissatisfaction then ratings started to tank.
2. "Don't victimize the actor".... Really? Reading the comments it's either PHJ scheming (because he's the real YJ)or SKJ's agency/sponsor. I doubt that SKJ's agency pulled strings behind the scenes, or that possible PHJ to planned this to make himself the victim. No one benefited from this situation I don't understand why people are either claim that SKJ has a sponsor or that PHJ is some mastermind. The hate both actors are getting make them both victims in my book. However at the end of the day one got more screen-time(CFs deals) and the other got the public's support.
3. I watched the show for SKJ, but it's obvious that PHJ was royally screwed. He was written off his show that's he's been promoting since last year (he is still promoting the show with 60+ interviews overseas). He filmed scenes, which were edited out completely or re-filmed using SKJ. He literally used to sell and promote the drama then completed written out. I don't understand why that's so difficult to understand?

Nobody benefitted? Hardly.
I don't think it was a grand conspiracy either way. Not on behalf of the network/PD and not on behalf of the actor or his agency. Rather, they all were seeking to profit from the production.
The 60+ interviews do nothing but benefit him. An actor's lifeblood is public interest and creating favorable public opinion. So the controversy hasn't done anything but help him. But again, that's mostly because he's been smart about how he's used it.
I'm sure he wasn't happy about having scenes cut. It had to have bruised his ego. But he's been the winner in the end.

Right there with you. People forget most of the "evidence" they're citing about what happened to CITT came from PHJ's own statements. Personally I don't buy the whole "they cut his scenes" story-- it's the same two scenes and one "leaked" page of the screenplay cited over and over. But ultimately does it matter anymore? The results are the results and nobody can argue he walked away the winner. It's sad it's blowing back to another actor and I think we should remember that the PD got convicted in the court of public opinion and might never work again, so there are real consequences here for other people. Personally, and as a huge fan of PHJ, I can't get over the fact that he started trash talking his own drama before it had finished its run.

I don't get the Conspiracy theory you guys are using for Haejin.
First of all, the reason he talks about his cutting scenes was mainly because due to the drama flow, it must appear in ep 10 -11. But then it was all the piano scenes. Fans, viewers and Haejin must be mad. But he just answered the media only once, explained everything included the rumor about the vacation. And remember how SKJ Company mediaplay to victimize SKJ as well, writing the article that way "PHJ is frustrated about his decreased screens, while at the same time, SKJ, who is wonderfully doing his share, is also hurt". That's terrible to write about Haejin that way. At least they must write about the frustration for Haejin in full context, not for his "less screentime due to SKJ, a wonderful actor".
Talking about the promotions, you must remember that when Haejin and Nam Joo Hyuk has the free-hug event, SKJ use the reason he was busy to hold his OWN event later with no one from the cast. And in the same time, BUSY was the reason the film crew use to exclude PHJ from their vacation. Same reason but different treatment.
Moreover, most of the events holders want to have PHJ, it is not like PHJ organized themselves. And it is due to the signed contract with tvN that PHJ has to attend. Because atm, he is overload with the preparation for his Fanmeeting.

No, just not so naive as to think that he isn't driven by business decisions too.
The thing I think people are entirely missing is that there is absolutely no correlation between his scenes being cut and damage to his public image. That was a fabrication of hyper-passionate fans and then capitalized on by his press release.
It's an immature and manipulative mindset that says "because you aren't showing oppa as much as I want to see him... because he's the best actor everrrrrrrr... you're harming him... and committing an injustice... and I hate you... and *&^% off... and you need to paaaaaaay for it." And that's just a small sampling of what I've seen.
SKJ was the one who was really harmed by this debacle. And he was cemented as the villain when PHJ began playing the victim. SKJ was just doing what they asked on set; and now he's being damaged by a ridiculous assertion.
Yes, art imitates life and life imitates art.

- no actor promotes a show which showcases another actor. It was his show as a lead but surprise, he was written out of his own show, which he found out when the episodes aired
- i'm not sure where you got the idea that he knew the last 2 episodes were crap since he never saw them. so when did he make his grand strategy to play the victim ? first viewers complained, then soonki, then finally PHJ.
- yes, characters/ actors get their screentime reduced on the editing table. but that is secondary characters. You can count on one hand the number of times of it has happened to a lead
- Calling PHJ supporters having " immature and manipulative mindset" while talking about about SKJ was victimised ... lol ... how? - he got the screentime, he got the visibility, he got CFs and a new show. He is the ONLY one who benefited while the show was butchered and the leads sidelined. Even seol's character arc came to a screeching halt. The 'ridiculous assertion' you speak of makes far far more sense than your theory on PHJ
- PHJ got a lot of public sympathy. But what is he going to do with that? he risked being ignored/ blacklisted by production houses and networks for speaking out in an industry that prefers everything to be swept under the rug. Its a mark of how angry/ hurt he must have been to be treated so cheaply. (Not just his role, his queries were unanswered, he wasn;t invited etc etc)
- Why shouldn't people speak out when they are wronged? . For you to say that it is manipulative is just ........... "Ah in" has an excellent reply to you on the next page.

March 4, 2016 at 5:28 PM
Wow. Just wow.
First of all no one woos a leading man as persistently as CJ E&M wooed him and not promise that he'd have ample screen time to develop his character.
Second, he said in one interview that his condition for accepting their offer was that they do right by Jung's character (i.e., give his character enough time to develop), which (as PHJ realized while live-watching the show) they didn't.
Thirdly, he filmed scenes that were crucial to said character development and the show's plot that were not shown AT ALL. It was obvious that the show's plot suffered in its second half due to gratuitous In-ho and repetitive scenes of his broody piano playing when at least half of it could have been used to air those cut Jung scenes.
I think PHJ may have been smart in making his stance clear in the middle of netizen rage against the drama, but that doesn't negate the fact that he took a huge, possible career damaging risk in speaking out the way he did. Speaking out against an established director like LYJ and a production company as influential as CJ E&M is no small thing. They could easily ruin him if they had any ammunition against him. Which they didn't, because PHJ was clearly an absolute professional who was well liked on set.
I think he saw this as a chance to publicly ask CJ E&M why they cut all those important scenes when they refused to answer him when he approached them about it.
SKJ is getting some backlash and (based on netizenbuzz) I think many Korean and Chinese netizens won't be ready to see him on their sceens anytime soon, but I think most of us know this isn't his fault. The issue lies with the production team and their insistence in keeping the people they work with (i.e. Soonkki and PHJ) in the dark about drastic changes to the work they've done.
So yeah, PHJ is the victim here along with Soonkki. He may have been smart in speaking up when public sentiment was (and still is) overwhelmingly in his favor, but this doesn't in any way negate the fact that this PD and production team did him wrong.

Loved your response.
It's not editing that fans are pissed off at... Scenes get cut, sure, but people want the leads of the drama to have more screen time than other characters. It's not just "Give oppa more scenes!!" but give your lead ample screen time to develop. And that's why he got wronged, he was promised that.
2nd: calling him manipulative is a bit harsh. He probably saw an opportunity to voice his opinion and got the public support. Yes, it's a smart move but that was his best move in the situation...

Wow. Just, wow..
This is by far the most ridiculous conclusion I've seen after all the evidence (released by news agencies, production or actors' companies), news articles and interviews (note, not just PHJ's interviews and some funny self-contradictory edits all documented by fans). It is SKJ's company that first came out to shamelessly admit the actor's screentime was significantly increased due to his so-called "popularity" and that audience wanted to see him more (proof please?), at the cost of the quality of the show. Now if SKJ is harmed by this shitty motive, who should take the very most responsibility?
You're not even understanding what fans have been complaining about. Go fact-checking before accusing people taking PHJ's side for being "immature and manipulative". Open your eyes and see for yourself: the audience are mad because the show was screwed. And PHJ did not victimize himself, he simply sided with the audience and demanded an explanation for the sudden and obvious turn that the show took which resulted in the sabotaged storyline. That's it.

Need more details, but a story than centers around a bromance could be interesting. I can enjoy the exploration of platonic relationships as much as I enjoy romantic ones. The words "nuanced", "thoughtful" and "emotional" are also encouraging. I would like to see another production put their faith in a story like that and the fact good, consistent storytelling is enough to keep viewers interested.

I think a good bromance drama will be very refreshing. Hope they don't put the cheesy cliché of a love triangle in there. It's fine of they put a romance in there, say like between the star and a girl, but don't let that be the focus of the drama. It's totally unnecessary for a great drama. Really, there's so much more than romance in dramas. For instance, I'm not watching Descendants of the Sun, but I'm way more interested in the bromance between Song Joong Ki and Lee Kwang Soo, and the strength of that friendship provides for them. Like put friendship before romance for once!

Lol reading the comments made me happier than reading the news. kkkkk.
Just give him a good writer, PDnim & of course his partner. And reading the jokes somewhere (actually it is more on prayer) asking him to decline the offer if it involves piano again. We all know what "piano" did to him in CITT. kkk.

HELL YEAH
I haven't watched Secret Love Affair, A Wife's Credentials, or Yoo-na's Street (not my cup of tea) but I know these are critically acclaimed shows so I'm so, so excited that PHJ will be able to work with this production company. Hopefully, this new project will be able to wash away the stink left by CitT.

I loved Yu Na's Street (It did flag somewhat in the last 10 episodes) so I'm mega happy about this.
If Man to Man is half as quirky or innovative as YNS... I'd be a very happy ajumma.

I know he's still finishing up another drama right now, but I'd love to see Park Hae-Jin in a film with Jung Kyung-ho. They're such amazing actors, and they both have excellent range.

So happy to hear this! Actually I think PHJ was not only wronged by the Powers In Charge of Cheese in the Trap but also by an actor whom he thought was a friend but back stabbed him by using dirty connections very much like Yoo Jung! Poor Hae Jin! I hope he finds better colleagues this time!
After watching DR stranger and Bad Guys and Cheese I realised he has a talent in portraying mysterious characters.
Park Hae Jin Fighting!

I thought I was the only one thinking that it might be more than the regular bromance. I blame that track record(ok, just SLA) lol. But that's not possible(right?).
And some part of me thought that it might be a love triangle with the two friends competing. It was the angst lover in me.
I hope they treat him well if he confirms. And I hope we get see him with Kim Go-eun again(in a movie!)

I initially thought it was a Chinese drama, and thought 'so JB even covers PHJ's Chinese drama news ...' Lol.
Yeay, it's PHJ againnnn! I can't wait! But haven't we learnt the lesson of signing in before the PD and writer has yet to confirm..?

As long as PHJ do not get shafted again. Love bromances but a gal is gonna topple that isn't it? Can't imagine if there are no female leads cos kdramas always love triangles.
