Lee Seung-gi, Im Ji-yeon drop Kill Me, Heal Me
by girlfriday
What is going on with the casting drama in dramaland lately? Between Kill Me, Heal Me and Blood, it’ll be a miracle if half of the early 2015 dramas premiere on time. Both Lee Seung-gi (You’re All Surrounded) and Im Ji-yeon (Obsessed) were offered leading roles in MBC’s upcoming split-personality drama Kill Me, Heal Me, but they’ve both suddenly pulled out, citing schedule conflicts.
While it’s common for “considering favorably” casting announcements to be overturned, it’s of interest in the case of Kill Me, Heal Me, which has been struggling to cast a leading man for months, going back to Hyun Bin. He was in talks with them to possibly star, but ultimately turned the offer down and it curiously led to a petty press war between the production company and Hyun Bin’s management, over who dumped whom and why. Shortly after, Hyun Bin took the starring role in Jekyll and Me, the other split-personality rom-com due to air in the same timeslot at SBS.
Now with Lee Seung-gi walking away, they’re back to square one with no hero, and less than two months’ lead time. It raises red flags for sure, and makes me think there has to be a problem with the way the production is being run for them to have this much trouble locking down a lead cast. Because while playing a hero with seven split-personalities who dates his doctor is totally problematic, it’s not news to those considering the roles.
Im Ji-yeon stated that she couldn’t fit the drama into her schedule while shooting her movie The King’s Advisor (with Joo Ji-hoon), while Lee Seung-gi reportedly couldn’t fit the drama shoots into his promotional schedule for his movie Today’s Love (with Moon Chae-won). But… that movie’s already done filming, and neither project is new. They sound like obvious polite excuses to smooth over the fact that they’re dropping the show.
Kill Me, Heal Me is a rom-com about a man with seven personalities and the first-year resident who treats him and falls for him. It comes from the writer of The Moon That Embraces the Sun and the PD of Scandal, and is scheduled to follow Mr. Back on Wednesdays and Thursdays in January. We’ll see how that goes.

Really, I dropped it halfway through with the female lead pretending to be his ex and the mom feeding her till she practically burst. That was so stupid.
Maybe I'll give the drama another try because I really like LDW.

December 2, 2014 at 10:46 AM
Maybe that wouldn't be so bad.
I had no intention of watching Blade Man, but on Javabeans strong recommendation, gave it a shot and ended up loving it. LDW made a crazily written character stylish, likeable and compelling.
Likewise, I have absolutely no interest in spending precious time watching anything in the (what I find to be) abrasive psycho/romcom genre. But - based on Blade Man - I'd give it a shot just because he's in it.
Is it possible he could help the show more than it could hurt him?

Loooool same tbh blade man had kind of a split personality so I can see this happening. I don't think he should go for this though as the role is just too similar to the other split personality series and I think that has a better chance of succeeding than this one does.

I liked him in Blade Man (turns out he was a better actor than I thought; he'd bored me in Mandate). Yet after the last few episodes bombed, I want him to take a project where he isn't third choice.

In situations like this I always wonder why they just don't give up the idea. Just let it go.
Gosh, it sounds like a bad idea anyway. The chances that someone could actually do a good job portraying all those different personalities, that the story will be coherent enough (goodness knows they have enough problems usually one just one hero playing one hero) seems remote.

MBC isn't good at letting go.
I don't even believe the writer can write 7 well written personalities in the first place so I think any actor is going to have issue trying to do this role.

As a Med student myself in Mexico we've been working with patients since 2nd year (we have a 7 year program just to be a general physician) and our bosses are usually residents but even they are strictly supervised by the experienced doctors and would never have complete responsibility with a patient especially during their first year of residency, perhaps they'd have more leeway in their third year but not before that.

I'm soooo relieved. He's always made really smart career choices and this one was one I was seriously confused and worried about. The whole thing is so messy.
Though for him I do believe scheduling issues somewhat. He has to do movie promo, an album and concert in the near future. Plus fans weren't happy with him taking it, which is probably a big reason he didn't.
Not sure how this drama will happen in a matter of weeks, especially if it has to film overseas.

Regardless of how they turned out, both those dramas had impressive PDs and writers who had done wonderful dramas. YAAS had a great cast and I doubt he regrets getting to work with the great CSW. There's no reason he should question working with them. This drama brings nothing but the writer of one of most boring overrated dramas in recent memory and two newbie actors, one who hasn't ever done a drama before.

It would be rude and bridge-burning to say they're turning it down because "the script is terrible" or "this director has a bad track record". And it would probably sound disrespectful to say they have "creative differences" since I think the cast is supposed to subordinate their opinions to that of the writer and directors.

I know Hyun Bin's drama is most anticipated one. However, we don't know what would be happen. If the drama team is solid, well written, characters well developed and supported by great casts, it will win for sure. Everyone has their own taste and we can't expect the ratings. Take example some phenomenal dramas such as Reply 1994, Reply 1997, Misaeng or the old classic series Lovers in Paris (reached 43% ratings) with no big stars but huge success. Big stars don't guarantee anything though.

But… that movie’s already done filming, and neither project is new. They sound like obvious polite excuses to smooth over the fact that they’re dropping the show."
No, Lee Seunggi really has an album he has worked which was planned to release this year ending but due to the Today's Love filming several months ago, he had to push it back to early next year, this made his fans was disappointed a bit. Also the 10 anniversary concerts which he delayed this year too. If there had no change, those concerts will be held on January next year. And since he prepares almost everything about the concerts himself so it often makes him to take at least 2 weeks with all days and nights without a day of resting. So now with the news he dropped this drama, I can say that all of his fans, at least the Korean fans, are so happy with it now since they have to keep waiting for his comeback album for over 2 years and also over 1 years for the Hope concerts since his lastest ones.

As a fan of Seungi gi do you think you are doing him any favors by spreading this type of comment " he dropped the drama because his fans did not like the actress? If he operated by that standard he never would have got stuck with Suzy, and his last co star leaves a lot to be desired as well
I know you think you are defending him, but you are not and people may get the wrong impression and misunderstand him. If someone does not want to accept the reason his agency sited than so be it. Anyone who knows anything about him knows he is ALWAYS crazy busy and never lays his head to rest.
There very well may be more than one reason, but I am sure scheduling is at the top of the list.

Can't fault them since this did sound like a mess to begin with. I wonder how difficult it will be to find lead casts for a drama after it's been rejected by so many. Maybe it'll get shelved which is a relief since the lesser mentally challenged heroes, the better. I've had enough of them for a lifetime!
I do hope Seung-gi ends up doing a drama sometime this year. YAAS was worse than dull beans because I can't even remember what the plot was about. It would be a crying shame is that's his last drama before enlisting.

plus he is bussy. as mentioned before his annual concerts album all have been pushed back due to this drama and the movie today's love have promoting to do.
and about dropping out becoz of hyun bin, urmm he knew hyun bin will be doing sbs drama when accepted to consider it favrbly as they say. so it's NOT the reason why he dropped out now.
you'r argument is valid
a) he accepted but dropped out after hyun bin cofrimed
b) he rejected even considering out of fear of hyun bin.
since it's neither it's unlikely to be the reason why he didn't accept the role.

I don't blame them, maybe the script is not captivating enough to say I can challenge myself with this. I think if it was the case, they would long gone and beyond to actually flex their schedule and make time for it.
To be honest when you're reading the sypnosis on this story or drama, it doesnt really grab you like it should, there is a puzzle missing. If the writer cannot pull a hiher upper to bring life to this character.
I hate comparing, honest, but when I read the sypnosis of Jekyll and Me, I take note of what they are trying to say.

It's a pity Cha Seung Won has been cast elsewhere....now...that's someone who can give Hyun Bin a run for his money in the acting and looks department.
I would not mind Song Jae Rim either...we know he can be eccentric, boyish, outspoken, shy, inhibited, serious, badass....That's 7...right....I bet you he has more....the guy has no qualms letting it all out there...which I totally love.
Are you listening MBC?....he's right under your nose...just walk couple of steps at the WGM studios and seal the deal.

Does anyone else think that maybe Seung-gi or his agency got wind of the public's opinion on this drama and his potential casting? Because it seems that a lot of people thought this plot was crazy and were wondering if he could pull it off. Or maybe he actually had conflicts...Who knows. They may have trouble getting another actor to lead but maybe 3rd time is a charm lol..
I just hope that this doesn't turn into a train wreck because my baby Park Seo Joon is still in this ._.
let's see who is next!

I think the only one who can do this role is Jang Hyuk seriously it will be perfect competition between him and his twin Hyun bin I believe this role needs some one professional in acting .
7 personalities with crazy switches from one personality to another one need heavy actor .

I'm so glad Seung-gi dodged this bullet. It's been over two years since K2H happened and his last 2 works have been abysmal and/or okay. That said, PSJ's still in this... which is a shame since he's SO good! :/

wasn't LSG a good actor that could pull anything off ? Now he is backing up, huh. Well, glad because it was a good choice.
Now people can also stop talking about IJY... I read people saying she shouldn't drop the drama because she is a rookie, and shouldn't be picky, but funny thing the same people complained that because she IS a rookie she shouldn't accept the role and get minor roles (Can people decide, lol)

I'm dissapointed a bit, since many questionned SG's acting abilities, I wanted him to prove them wrong. Well, I was one of those who refused his casting (before LJY was thrown in so don't judge me) because I wanted the so awaited album. After LJY "confirmed" I actually was happy, because she studied acting and may help SG developping into a better actor since she has the technique.
Those claiming he refused due to Hyun Bin ... LooL, best joke of the day. I respect both and love both, but puting down puppy for Binnies shows what a slow move his 'fans' are doing. I won't compare anyone because after all, the plot that suit Ahjummas best wins the ratings battle (and it's so true because some laim dramas reached 20% but are a dissapoinetement to me, while for exemple, the King 2 Hearts which lost the ratings battle was AWESOME)
Anyway, I'm the only one seeing potentials in this drama, you'll eat your words later if it turns to my expectation (puting aside medical ethics cuz Hellllo it's called MAKJANG). Sigh, I'll imagine Seung Gi as the lead, 7 puppies, take care ... I really wanted to see yo *sob* *sneeze*
Annd for god sake stop saying Seung-jumma, I'm only 21 -_- (no offence to the unnies and ahjummas :P )

I pray that one day writers are requested to have a FULL script written for actors to see. Wasn't this the case with It's Okay, It's Love?
Also pray that the desire to alter a set plot to please the public is only done in extreme situations and even then, it would also make the script better.
Wishing, hoping and dreaming.

I get the sense this is going to be a full-blown train wreck now, though it's the potential spectacle that makes me want to watch, just to see how bad it can get. Maybe it will achieve what Blade Man failed to, which was kind of let down on the craptastic scale--before the last two nonsensical weeks it was genuinely enjoyable, and lovely in parts.
That said, maybe this has worked for the best? I like him, but I don't think LSG has the chops to play 7 different personalities...but the premise alone is so stupid and questionable on so many levels that I'm really glad he dodged the bullet anyway. I mean, if it makes something about a split personality chaebol romancing/terrorizing a circus troupe leader seem sane in comparison...yeah. And now they probably have nowhere left to go but down casting-wise, so whoever replaces him could well be even less suited for the role. Just give it up, MBC!

I know, me too. I miss Moon Junyoung so much since his indefinite hiatus. Out of all the ZE:A boys, he was my bias and most handsome looking. But I guess thanks to him, he gave other idols courage to open up about their agency's mistreatment. Just like thw most recent - B.A.P suing their agency. I must say as a fan I am proud of our Moon leader however, I wish he gets more exposed and recognition.

So thankful these actors turned down the role because after seeing them in other dramas, they couldn't have pulled off the lead character in Kill Me, Heal Me. Ji Sung has nailed this character. The other actors wouldn't have come close.
