Well, they keep casting people for Age of Feeling so I'll stick with 'not canceled, just postponed'. But if I had my way, of Kim Hyun Joong or Jang Geun Seok, I'd choose: NEITHER.

I choose neither too.

But Age of Feeling already has A LOT of its cast lined up tho while I haven't seen a peep about Pretty Man besides Jang Geun Suk and rumors of a couple of leading ladies.

kim hyun joong just cant get a show to stick that poor boy hopefully this one doesn't get cancelled also cause even if his acting sucks he sure is purrrttyyy to look at for 20 hrs

I want more of So Ji Sub too!

'More on that in the next post. Just give us, like, 15 minutes.'

You guys are so cute.

I lurve the JB/GF newsbusting duo!

hasn't age of feeling kinda been in production hell for a while, though? or does that impression mostly come from the fact that they've changed lead actors a few times?

anyway, international shoots are expensive and tricky – I'm not surprised that this is turning out to be a difficult drama to produce. I'm still interested in the basic concept though, so if it's ever on air, I'll watch it.

Good, I won't have to sit through another Kim Hyun Joong drama...not that I was gonna in the first place. At least we won't have to hear about it.

'Another one bites the dust' ... :)

Is Jang Guen Seok going to do a drama that will show his acting talent? I mean the guy can actually act.

KBS the flip flopper. No wonder all their drama has low ratings.

Poor oppa ! He has some curse ! Lool

Lol The other show has like 2 people cast while this one has 100, but still get shelved. I wonder how many of them will stick around.

I think it's just for rating competition in wed-thurs drama

Kim Hyun Joong can't act for shit but AOF sounds SO much more interesting than Pretty Man. You know the latter will just be Jang Geun Suk looking for ways to look like a fucking weirdo. I'm so over him as an actor.

City Conquest was said to have "international location sites" too...would there be any difference? I couldn't help but think the drama might be too ambitious, for the other actors who were previously offered the role to accept it. There must be some other reason why they rejected this drama, doubts included.

I just hope some KHJ fans won't blame JGS's drama for this. Regardless of his acting, I'd like HJ to have another major solo drama again, something that wouldn't just bank on his looks/appearance, but another drama good enough to put on his resume. He doesn't have to be the main lead of a "grand"drama that has several location sites or whatever -- a significant role in a relatively challenging drama would be nice.

JGS -- I think he's a good actor, with or without ratings.

Gimme Heirs and moar So Ji Sub romantic comedies, that's all the pretty I need to last me a lifetime. I wasn't really excited for any drama with KHJ but I heard Kim So Eun was in it and that got me excited since I love her from Boys Over Flowers. May I see the day that she can be lead with the other F4 member.. Kim Bum for a romantic comedy?

Bumpy road for this drama. It looks to me that if it's an ambitious/expensive project, KBS has always a hard time managing it (CQ, IRIS2, and now AOF).
Also, AOF airing against Heirs? Oulalala...

lol. i couldn't really care less about kim hyun joong's acting but it kinda sucks how wherever he goes bad luck follows. In k-dramas, that is.

Heh, this kind of news always makes me imagine Anthony Kim running around frantically in the background, trying to patch new deals... ;-)

(I have entirely chosen to forget the whole blind/radio/failure thing, because that was ridiculous and clearly the opposite of the character and the show, so as far as I'm concerned he's still actively making horrible decisions for the sake of drama.)

Kim Hyun-joong is unlucky man of 2013. he has no luck for this year. first is his drama cancelled, a drama which kim seung woo will be his daddy, it got cancel becoz politic thing (i forgot the name for that drama)

second, his variety show (barefoot friend) has a lowest rating on korea and did not has any concept at all, BFF is a totally an ugly variety show for 2013

and now his new drama, age of feeling loses timeslot. ckckckck

poor KHJ, it will be a sad journey for him on 2013.

nothing works for him right now.

I wonder, why did Kim Hyung Joong agree to do this drama. Surprised that his big boss Yonsama agrees.

It's during the Japanese occupation, this drama is sensitive. He's like one of the biggest Hallyu star in Japan.

I know Joo Won and the masterpiece Bridal Mask got cut down during the big award shows like Baeksang, Korean Drama Awards etc because of the sensitive issue even though the drama is so good and the acting from most of the cast are top notch. Even during his promotion in Japan, the J-media never mentioned about this drama. Luckily, he still well accepted there.

And for KHJ, I guess IF.. IF he do this drama, he will still popular in Japan.

Preety Man, hmmm.. I want to see my old JGS.

Lol that analogy makes me sound like a terrible friend.

Anthony suddenly pops up in my head.

I always thought Pretty man was supposed to be an MBC drama

Who is Kim Hyun Joong?
upsss. I almost forget about him.
A long time ago, he was popular, but lack of acting skill and when he become a new and singer with different style and image, make me not longer interesting.
you must pick another gold chance, oppa, to make your luck shine again

Pretty Man is the cheaper and obvious choice to compete against the last episodes of Heirs and then is going full against Man from the Stars, which is getting way lot of attention. Age of Feeling is a high budget drama with overseas shootings so it's a no brainer move by the network to hold that one and throw Pretty Man to the lions. Also JGS latest dramas had bad ratings. For me it's looks like the real winner is Age of Feeling because the time slot change could mean that the netwotk thinks that the AOF has more chance for sucess than Pretty Man.

At first I was so confused - could have sworn that was Kim Jae Won in the photo (from Scandal). I'd watch it with him :)

Kim Hyun-joong plays Jihu in Boys Over Flowers, which is currently airing in San Francisco.

Question: What is the term that Jandi keeps calling him? It sounds like sahm-beh, or tohm-beh, or ton-beh, or something like that. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

what the hell is wrong with kbs, if i were hyun joong id drop that drama off. Ive seen city conquest though there is only bits of it and its so damn hard to find. I found him already warming up to the drama camera. tsk.tsk. I hope they will air this soon or else!

Well i think its either its because of prod or the planning hasnt been up to its furnishings. or maybe the actor is too busy with his carreer since he just had his comeback.,.. Whatever it is, if its kim hyun joong then imma put it on my list..,

I have mixed feelings for KHJ. I adore him in WGM, but then got frustrated seeing him in BOF. What was that?? Acting is definetely not on his skill list, he should stick for variety and his music. But then, he joined the aimless BFF variety and developed the ridiculous image of Justin Bieber wanna be. Good God!
Get rid of that stupid cap already *facepalm*
I want to like you again Hyunjoong-ah, please wisely choose your projects and images.

Whoaaa, i keep looking news on Pretty Man and was wondering what happened since the first announcement on June. I also could not find any certain news on female lead. One for heroin, one for that ex wife of chaebol, and 10 other females role.

I like JGS' acting capacity than KHJ. Hopefully, the good production (group eight) and eligible scrip writer could make this drama shows its quality.

For KHJ I m kinda of desperate reading on his failed drama: city conquest? And now postponed? I m so sorry to hear that KHJ .. :(

I don't want either/or, I want it all in kdramaland!

I like Kim Hyun Joong better than Jang Geun Suk. But acting wise I have to give it to JGS. I've seen everything that he's been on and except for My Pet (really horrendous), he has proven himself as an actor with great depth. Please watch re-watch all his shows with no biases and you'd understand what I mean. I know he'd been behaving weirdly lately but as an actor, you can't fault his acting.

I feel so sad for ma oppa, really loved him BOF and playful kiss(even though his acting sucks). I never liked JGS, I really hated him in the drama 'you're beautiful'. I'm from Nigeria and I'm a very huge fan of KHJ. All I can say to KHJ is FIGHTING!
