(That’s what crossed my mind). Goes to show the showbiz industry is full of success but also equal amount of failures. Kim Seon Ho would be my choice here. Choi Min-sik ended 2019 with the success of “Forbidden Dream”. Why do people always blame KES for only casting big names when even the writer of Kingdom, W and Dear My Friends does the same. But the other issue is, how are you going to create new stars if they’re given the chances to do so? I said she could change. See I thought that too about LJK being a former A List star. These actors most likely fit the SBS mould (70% of KES associated public channel). He is well known for his act in the webtoon "Hero- Tundra Show" and "The 12 Deep Red Nights". Even the Korean articles I read only mentioned 4 names. Neither does he have any significant awards. KES tends to reuse her actors/actresses in her dramas as long as she likes them. Anyways, personally I find that Kim Eunsook drama would not be a good fit for Kim Seonho. So, KES may stick with top hallyu stars with flower boy look. But he’s still a big name, not to the extent of before tho. However her counterparts like you mentioned, I think they are more pressured to play different roles after getting married and becoming mothers. Lunar new year is coming soon! Thanks for the link. Not sure what “tvn/SBS fit” means lol. Of course, tv actors have a diff. Whew, I didn’t realize I was holding my breath but I totally was lol! K-actress Song Hye Kyo will be making her next drama return with the confirmed casting as the female lead in hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming project. This casting news feels like a light at end of the tunnel. 2) Kim Go Eun. I can’t believe she’s stuck on always making male lead more superior. I guess what I’m trying to say is SHK can still hold on to that desirable female actress image and play it safe. If I was already a top name in Korea my focus would be to gain attention with the western audience. I believe that he, himself, mentioned in an interview that he prefers and would love to be in a slice-of-life type of story. Jo Jung Suk, Kim Soo Hyun, Park Seo Joon would fit the tvN collaboration. ikemen Oct 20 2016 2:31 am Kim Hee Seon really is an actress without age.. As Jo kang Ja in Angry Mom, she made my heart melt for such an image of an ajumma in highschool girl uniform. KMHM helped give his career new life again. I don’t think many were given an opportunity to work with popular writers for their debut. I’d have more respect for SHK as an actress if she would branch out of her comfort zone and try another genre for a change than a romcom, or a melo. Mr. Hong seems like the slice of life show he wants? Kim’s first arrest was for a particularly dangerous type of brokering - helping North Koreans escape over the border into China - the very route that she and Jeon would go … And with a good script this time. So here we go ..KES did intend to cast one of her former stars again.. Well, all the Korean articles I read didn’t mention HB as one of the candidates. one of the best ‘new’ talents in dramas today. Of course there’s nothing stopping her if she herself wants to start playing more diverse roles. Dispatch New Year's Day Dating News Continues with 2021 Couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin Who Have Been Dating, Kim Soo Hyun Takes Home the Acting Category Daesang at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards with Lots of Popular Stars, Jung Eun Chae in Lovely Fall 2020 Pictorial and Reunites with Lee Min Ho in Upcoming K-drama Adaptation of Novel, C-actress Zheng Shuang Embroiled in Scandal of Discarding Surrogate Babies and Divorce with Ex-boyfriend Zhang Heng. An article focusing on news about various topics coming from Korea for the month of September 2020. I really hope it’s JJS because he’s such a great actor and would likely have great chemistry with SHK. Female version of tkem?. We don’t know if there’s a specific reason why KES only works with the actors she’s worked with in her previous dramas. I personally didn’t like DOTS but hope this project does well.. I want Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) to be good because I want to watch a good movie, I hope male lead Song Joong Ki returns to form with a successful project after the mega disappointment that was Arthdal Chronicles, and because it’s a win for all of Chungmuro to have its first big budget … Do films/tv, but don’t stick to one genre, and mix it up. 2) Kim Go Eun. KES is known for making the impossible possible. I wonder if he might be forced by SALT to do a romance show to maintain his current IT Guy status? The list is long. 5) Kim Sarang Secret Garden, and I believe she was offered a role in Goblin but she declined. Since KSH is a late bloomer on TV-land but with solid theatre background he may go the Yoo Ah In way. A-Listers people who consistently work in quality projects, won Daesang, and get Main’s. He is a member of the boy band SS501 and played roles in the Korean dramas Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss.. After debuting with SS501 in 2005, Kim released his first Korean solo album, Break Down, in 2011, and his first Japanese solo album, Unlimited, in 2012. Omg can the male lead be Gong Yoo, Won Bin, or So Ji Sub please. Even rookie writers prefer to only cast big names. Also, Kim Eun Sook should balance the characters. As the article i provided is from sbs itself..so i guess it must be true.. Although it feels it might do meh ratings wise. Working with LMH a second time was a bad idea…. That wasnt even in the last decade LOL. Maybe Gong Yoo? He’s probably at Park Hae Jin’s level tho the latter had just recently gotten a Daesang at the very least. I don’t deny that. Kim Ha Neul- On Air, Gentleman’s Dignity He’s nowhere near so many other actors his age. Only thing is, is SALT going to allow him to choose his next work, or make him choose something that’s fluffy/popular which would be a foolish thing to do for KSH’s career prospects long term. Ooh nice male actors you’ve chosen! It depends on how terrible or savvy they are in choosing their roles. Please let it not be this guy or any actor with itchy fans and shippers. Miss her so much. I really want to see SHK play a villain or anti heroine in a thriller at least once. BUT i dont think he will be given this role because lee joon gi and romcoms or even pure romance dont go well together. Sadly she also has delusional fans shippers like her Binkyo fans who always bring shame to her. Goblin, TKEM 3) Kim Ji Won. Both men who had better/bigger hits back in the day, but respected for their talents/still get work! I do think as @SYR said, he chooses more character focused works than romance focused, of course not sure if SALT might choose short term fame projects, hope not. Here's a full list of the 2020 SBS Drama Awards winners and nominees! @Kimchi Ajumma Hey! A lister for example : Kim Soo Hyun, Hyun Bin, after DOTS Song Joong Ki definitely become A lister, while LJK I dont see any memorable work from the past years, I dont see him in same category as KSH, HB, or SJK. NGM is also lower their A List. @Pam I don’t wanna sound harsh but it’s not really the big writers’ job to prepare a platform for less famous actors, is it? Y’all need to grow up man! Omg finally she’s back. The drama will definitely be on tvN. Joo Ji Hoon would be my next pick too. It went onto become a local hit, though I’m not sure it was very popular with international audiences. Wasn’t the last one like Iljimae with HHJ?! Hoping that the male lead will be same age actors like Hyun Bin, Gong Yoo, Won Bin and Kang Dong Won. ranking than film actors. As for A List, Ji Sung is absolutely A List lol. There’s no depth to her plots and they mostly revolve purely on romance. You know what works best for him than SALT does!? I personally liked only city hall and goblin (I didn’t watch mr.sunshine)… and that’s it haha. Hyun Bin was indeed offered the role of Yoo Shi Jin along with 4 other actors namely Gong Yoo , Kim Woo Bin, JIS and WB..There was an SBS article which stated sjk was the 6th choice. Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. So Ji Sub was originally offered ML in DoTS. As soon as I recognized that she had travel pass my childhood in Sad Love Song and My Fair Lady.. my respect for her grow stronger. TKEM could perform better if she cast ML who can emote properly. He was born in South Korea, he immigrated to the U.S. with his family at the age of 7 and arrived in Korea around the … 100% on Kim Seon Ho. Why why SHK, why did you choose this writer to come back, her female characters are always absurd and freaking my annoying!!! Super Junior Fandom Name: E.L.F (Ever Lasting Friends) Super Junior … Although he is an extremely talented baker and seemed destined to succeed his father as president, Goo In Jong's family plotted to rob him of his inheritance because he was born to In Jong's mistress. Heirs, DOTS, Mr. Sunshine Due to schedule conflicts. Regarding JCW, I’m also afraid too. More so their images went through transformations and they can no longer hold on to the image of being “first love”, “female actress you most want to spend the holidays with” or whatnot. This year, he will be featuring in two films, one of which is “To the Land of Happiness”, directed by Im Sang-soo. Goblin, TKEM Not to mention the risk that the newer drama may mirror the trajectory of TKEM (God forbid!) We can all agree to disagree in a fun mature way. the drama that song hye kyo and lee jung suk romoured to be act was from hong sister.so since she choose kes drama the hong sister will be pass tp another one .i really wish kes will pairs he wth someone around her ag.gong yoo or meby someone fit her age. The pretty boy exceptions being SJK in DOTS & LMH in Heirs. If you recalled a meta line Song Yi said in YFAS, she didn’t want to get married because she will no longer get offered good roles. Hope KSH doesn’t end up like JCW, he used to be on the verge of A-list stardom but just regressed over the years. A movie risks less damage even if it does flop. You would be busy catching up with today’s casting news. That drama propelled KSW into a regional Hallyu star status along with CJW. But I do like the idea of any of the other actors too – A lister or not. I hope she’s not forcing Kyo-sshi to take the drama. Hyunbin and shk in the same drama.. does it even make sense? I have looked all KES dramas from 2004-2020 and found most of her MLs have a certain type of image. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing. My, my. Soompi mentioned the name of the tvN show that discussed about it here.. https://www.soompi.com/article/864609wpp/4-stars-who-could-have-been-song-joong-kis-character-in-descendants-of-the-sun. Maybe he doesn’t like romance/dating rumors being attached to him, could be another reason why he focuses on character driven work thus far? Somehow I’m wrong because his shippers are still crying to compared her to him and his love story. And for the remaining actors, only SJS hasn’t done a cable drama. Thank you all for participating. I can see some A-List actors within the 34-42 age matching our queen visually and in acting chops. Lee Jae Hwan [Taegang Group's second son], HELP I can't remember this lakorn name :(, Which drama from the above user's 'Last List Updates' would you pick? The rumored drama of LJS and SHK is supposedly written by Hong Sisters. Dude is an amazing actor, prob. regrets that choice let’s be real.
