Yoo Ah-in up for king role in new drama

115 January 4, 2013June 5, 2017

by javabeans

If you wanna see Yoo Ah-in (~~Fashion King~~, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, The Man Who Can’t Marry, Antique Bakery) back on your television screens (or, let’s be real, computer monitors), start the rain-dancing and bargaining-with-gods now: He’s in talks to take the role of Kim Tae-hee’s leading man in the SBS drama Jang Ok-jung. This comes with the usual caveats—it’s not final, he’s still just considering, he hasn’t committed yet, blah blah blah.

If you don’t immediately recognize the name Jang Ok-jung, perhaps you’ll know the infamous concubine-turned-queen’s other moniker: Jang heebin, aka the scheming temptress oft-portrayed as a murderous villainess for usurping Queen In-hyun’s place, only to be usurped right back after King Sukjong regretted dethroning his first wife.

Only, this drama purports to take a twist on the usual telling of the tale. It’ll reinterpret the familiar story and characters by incorporating a “modern flair”—it’ll still be sageuk, but Kim Tae-hee’s version of Jang heebin has previously been described as a Joseon fashion designer. And since she’s the heroine, who knows how they’ll reimagine Queen In-hyun, always portrayed as kind-hearted and meek to a fault. Will she be the villain?

The role Yoo Ah-in has been offered is of King Sukjong and he is the main lead, so we’re definitely going to be taking some liberties with history as we know it. (SPOILER ALERT? It IS history, but in case you don’t wanna know…) After Queen In-hyun died, Sukjong suspected Jang heebin of having a hand in it, and she was executed by poisoning. So… maybe we can expect just a little bit of melo here.

On the upside: Welcome back, Sageuk Hair. Rawr. On the downside: We’ll just have to imagine the mane’s glory from our glimpses of neat royal topknot. Aw man. Can the king at least get a shower scene? Maybe a fight sequence where a sword slices open his robes and his hair tie, juuuust as a jug of water flies overhead, overturning to douse him?

It’s a drama. Drama is fiction. IT COULD HAPPEN.

Jang Ok-jung will follow Yawang, which puts its premiere in the vicinity of March.

I'm still iffy on this drama since KTH can't act but I want to see YAI on my computer monitor soon since I last saw him in punch and had skipped Fashion King.

I wonder does he get jealous that SJK is the toast of the k-drama and k-film town instead of him?

Was there a time in that show (which shall remain struck through and nameless) where he wasn't dressed like a pimp or being a jerk? Sometimes you'd get one and not the other, but honestly, even at the even when he's simply talking on the phone, he's wearing a muppet pelt.

Cant count on KTH but as YAI is here thats enough for me to add a show in my watch-list.

And being in Saeguk is good thing....can we expect some of Moon Jae Shin's antics here (those hiccups are still making ROFL), untidy hair (just as u described in last para), his deep eyes *hyperventilating*....

Too excited for this show....not sure how i'll wait for 3 (THREE) monthsssssss........

I don't think she's as bad as people say, but she's definitely not one of the best actresses in Korea. I've only seen her in My Princess though, and that was a rom com, so I don't know how she is in darker/melo fare.

She's more famous for being beautiful. I think she's considered one of the most beautiful actresses in Korea. Probably right along with Han Ga In, which is funny since they're both so popular, but not the greatest actresses. Lol.

Okay, I am honestly scratching my head each time when people call KTH, or Han Ga In for that matter, the most beautiful women in Korea - I don't see the breathtaking beauty there in either one of them. They can be at best called "very pretty" but that's about it for me.
However, I am totally in awe of SHG's mesmerizing beauty - that kind of beauty comes by maybe once in a few good decades. And I can completely understand the fuss over Jeon Ji-hyun - her looks are unique and she definitely possesses an air that demands attention.

Same here - Kim Tae-hee and Han Ga-in are both really pretty, and I can even see how others might consider them beauties - it's just that KTH's looks are too perfect, imo and I find that a bit...boring? lol

I hope by 're-interpreting' doesn't mean the heroine will turn out a good person. I'd like her to remain (little) evil , she's still human and makes mistakes. I want to see more heroine with double faces rather than simply a good-hearted/pitiful woman who gets misunderstood by the world.

oops, i'm goin ot. I really miss YAI back on screen. so yea I don't mind him doing sageuk again, just hope his role is interesting enough.

I don't think even with taking liberties with history as they will, that they can change the actual historical story of her being executed for treason. So, maybe she starts off good... and it's story of her descent into the land of evil. Power corrupts people. That would be an interesting watch, though maybe not so happy. Lol.

Alex

January 4, 2013 at 5:34 PM

That's the only way I see this working...they can't take too many liberties with the character since Jang/Ok Hee Bin is rather iconic in a sense and has been played so many times by a variety of actresses. I would prefer a straight-out saguek rather than a modern twist take. She would be more suited to playing a Queen In Hyun character rather than playing Jang Hee Bin. I'm interested in seeing how they pull this off.

I dunno, man. Fashion King was horrible but tolerable because the acting was so darn amazing. And I want Yoo Ah In to be in a really good drama as much as the next person but visualizing him out-acting and carrying Kim Tae Hee for 20 episodes or so is giving me hives...

So, in my mind is like "Yeah! Gooo Yoo Ah In!" but my heart is like "Run awaaaaaaay~ *hissssss*".

It's not even like Kim Tae Hee is awful but she's lacking a lot. She'll start off good and then pitter down as episodes go on. That happened in Iris. That happened in My Princess--like the more comfortable she gets the less talent she uses. It's weird.

January 4, 2013 at 9:14 AM

I will be watching this for the lulz. There's got to be a reason why lots of other actors turned down this role (and no, TOP was never actually in consideration. His agency was just putting out bs for publicity but none of it was ever corroborated by the production). The two possibilities are: the male lead's role is insignificant or the script just sucks. For the former, it may very well be true but I think the latter is simply more likely.

Re: the age gap, it's 6 years. Not huge and in real life King Sejong was 2 years younger than Jang heebin. Plus, it always helps that Kim Tae Hee does not look her age at all. I seriously thought she was 18 when I was watching the first episode of My Princess (one of my first Kdramas, so I wasn't familiar with many actors and actresses). Now if only she could act...

January 4, 2013 at 9:36 AM

Nah, it wasn't TOP's agency actually, it was the production that said he was pretty much locked while in reality he was just thinking about it. They did want him and did offer the role to him.

All the news that I read quoted the production as simply stating that they were indeed looking for a male actor. Do you have a link? I'm not trying to be obtuse; it just boggles my mind that any drama team would be so reckless as to consider casting TOP.

There was also an interview that was translated (I read it on tumblr) that asked him if he had any new job offers and he answered that he was thinking about this role.

Casting a idol in a male lead role isn't crazy though. Especially since TOP is actually pretty good and has tons of potential/improves with each project. He's busy now though. Big Bang is always busy & he's starring and shooting a movie right now.

January 4, 2013 at 10:33 AM

Again, this is all from TOP's people. The director or screenwriter would be a different story. But what do I know, it may very well be true. Thanks for the link to that website - I hadn't heard of it before.

And yes, I think it's pretty crazy to cast an idol as a lead role in any sageuk production. I find it a little hokey that some people on this site are willing to give male idols a pass for things that female idols would be skewered. Imagine the uproar if someone like Sulli who probably has more acting experience than TOP had been cast as the female lead instead.

canxi

January 4, 2013 at 11:25 AM

I don't think you're completely right on that, Annie. Lots of people here skewer ANY idol in a drama regardless of gender. Yunho just got cast in something and the groans were everywhere--it's not just that it's an idol getting a lead role it's the fact that it's someone who can't act that is getting a lead role. Many of the female idols that get cast are really not that great. I've only seen Sulli in one thing and I can't see I felt much for her performance and I don't think that script or even that drama was completely to blame. If she gets something else, I wouldn't be opposed to giving her another shot, though, and even if she was offered a lead role in this I wouldn't be opposed to that either.

No one is giving T.O.P a pass, whether or not he was offered this role, I do think he's actually good at acting (as I stated before) so you can't just bypass an opinion to call something hokey. When you do that you're not taking my opinion as an individual and just lumping me in some sort of generalization based on what you think. It's OK if it's your opinion that it's crazy to cast an idol as a lead, I understand that, but what I was trying to say is that's it's not unheard of and has happened before and in saeguks as well.

Annie

January 4, 2013 at 12:16 PM

@ canxi, I wasn't referring to you actually since you did mention TOP being a decent actor in your opinion. Sorry if it came across that way.

January 4, 2013 at 12:40 PM

@Annie -- It's alright. I do know how you feel and I have noticed that trend with male idol actors vs female idol actors (on some threads more than others). So, I hope you don't think me getting a bit upset was out of the blue. I'm sorry too.

On the other hand I guess the facts on whether TOP got the offer or not will be a Dramaland Mystery. I don't find it too hard to believe since both him and YAI are both velvety-voiced & seemingly cool/calm/collected (public image wise). So at least it seems like they're going for a certain type, if anything.

I like.
That is if KTH can dump her angelic image for a change. I mean, with Rain as an acknowledged boyfriend, can't she finally go all sexy?

I get the impresssion that YAI is very smart and incredibly coachable. If the writing and directing are good, he will be great.

Can they be hot together? So depends on the director.
Saguek "sex" if done right, can be very very hot. Standing close and not touching, or barely touching.
All directors should be forced to have a coaching lesson from John Malkavich - Dangerous Liasons - on how it's done.
Saguek sex if done wrong is called The Great Seer, and you want to hurl watching...

No, the other guy did - Lee In Im played by Jo Min ki with the mystical lady in the bed behind the sheers, remember?

It was so bad you blocked it.

OH no, I remembered that. It was GROSS. It was just so long ago I thought maybe someone did the deed again, and now that the boys and girls are grown...

Didn't she already go all sexy with Lee Byung Hun in IRIS?? Was it not sexy enough?? lol

I'm not sure if I can see any lady matching YAI's sexy output just yet.

I didn't. Was it sexy? Was she able to be believable?

Lol, well there was a bed scene in a hotel room and I think it was snowing outside and Lee Byung Hun's shirt came off...? It was pretty believable as far as kissing goes--it's one of her stronger points that she doesn't shy away from that lol.

Ooh! That is hopeful then.
She was kissing on THT in MP, but it was more sweet than salty.

Immediately flashed back to that scene where his massive arm is bigger than her entire stupid head.

She is so lucky.

Um. I loved Yoo Ah In in SKKS and want him to do well, but he keeps picking these projects that...really are awful, awful ideas. This one sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. But who knows, maybe a miracle will happen...

oh no, i'm a bit worried bc i don't think he fits to be king...
(well he did do Fashion KING, nevermind that)
But idk, i hope there's other offers too but it's not like i totally dislike this idea (kim tae hee and yoo ah in? yay.) but then again the age thingy... *sigh*
anyways just glad there's finally some movement and talks about her new drama!

Actually with Hulu and a supporting game system, people can see K-dramas on TV screens.

Oooh, interesting. But the fact that Kim Tae Hee is going to be the female lead is a bit... -_- And her role is Jang Hee Bin, so there's gonna be lotsa glaring here and there?

thanks JB :) Really excited for this drama, although Yoo Ah In did such a fantastic job in Sungkyunkwan Scandal as the rebel I can't imagine him being the king...all regal and authoritative...

I prefer his character in SKKS, his mane of glory and totally badass attitude. But King Sukjong? sounds really boring. His character could be more exciting as a warrior/scholar/bodyguard etc, kind of like Kim Boong Do in QIHM.

BWAHAHAHA @ "Can the king at least get a shower scene? Maybe a fight sequence where a sword slices open his robes and his hair tie, juuuust as a jug of water flies overhead, overturning to douse him?"

I ripped my face mask laughing so hard imaging that scenario actually happening...LOL I'd love to see that! ^_^
Thanks Javabeans!

Whenever they introduce "joseon fashion designer" I sigh. It sounds like it will be a shallow sageuk. I want some more "Tree with deep roots", "chuno", and "princess's man" quality sageuks!!!
