Ji Chang-wook eyes swift return to dramaland with Happiest Time of My Life
by javabeans
Back already? Not that I’m complaining about having Ji Chang-wook (The K2, Healer) in another drama, but it seems like The K2 just wrapped up and already he’s looking to jump into his next role. Chances are looking favorable that it’ll be a drama titled The Happiest Time of My Life, and while initial reports stated that Ji Chang-wook had confirmed the role, currently the official line from his reps is that he’s considering it positively.
Hardly any info has been given about the story, so for now we’ll just have to wait and see, though I would guess it’s another melodrama, given that it comes from writer Choi Ho-chul of twisted melodrama Secret and slightly less twisted, slightly less melo drama Mask. I’m thinking the title may ironic in some way — there may be happiness involved, but surely there will be a lot more pain, no? Just a hunch.
Even so, what I do like about writer Choi’s dramas is that they do have very angsty melo elements to them, but they tend to be fast-paced, dramatic, and full of plot twists. They’re exciting melos, not the slow, tedious kind that can feel nigh unbearable sometimes.
We do know that The Happiest Time of My Life will be a fully pre-produced drama, because somehow dramaland keeps trying. I do hope there’ll be a meaty story, because while I did enjoy The K2 despite its excesses and flaws, I didn’t really think Ji Chang-wook got much of a chance to do a lot, acting-wise, other than upgrade his stunt work and fight scene capabilities. Those weren’t nuthin’… just, I’d kind of wanted more of everything else from him, but the story just didn’t give him a shot.
Writer Choi is currently working on the scripts, and plans are to begin production in March.

I think most probably! He had stated that when working for K2 he was too tired out because of the many action scenes. For the Lotte webdrama/commercial during the press conference he said he was disappointed to get the agent role again because he'd rather have a more normal character :') I guess he would probably stay away from action in the near future, sadly.

Plus he did Whirlwind Girl 2, K2, and the lotte mini drama and he already had injuries and strains while doing K2.
I don't blame him, he's got to go to the army and he's already really banged-up. Look at what happened to Choi Jin-Hyuk, he want into active duty knowing he had a bad knee, blew it out and got a medical discharge and he's had to basically live in seclusion so that he doesn't get nailed about not serving his full duty.

I think he feels many regrets over The K2 and wants to show a better side of him by doing a new drama. He himself said he has many regrets over The K2, like his character and loveline flow with Yoona (not saying he's disappointed with the loveline, but the flow or the manner in which the loveline presented is a bit lacking in his opinion).
So I guess he doesn't want to get typecast as action star + do a better drama.

Lmao Changwookie just admit that you were disappointed you didn't have love line with Song Yoon Ah in K2 ???? hahahaha! #jk
But yes I agreed his character should be written better. He can offer more. I don't care about his complaints if he is just a mediocre actor.

I liked him in K2. I did not like Yoona in that role. It was thru K2 that I first was introduced to him and since then have watched about 4 of his other flicks, with Healer being the best and way more satisfying storyline-wise, casting, acting and chemistry. I wish there was a Healer 2 in fact. Hope this new show is a romantic show because he is so good in that capacity.

I think he just want a variation in the roles he wants to take. He's an actor who wants to continue to improve his craft. He is not contented and doesn't want to stop growing. He said that in one of his previous interviews. So, if an actor wants to grow and improve, he won't settle in one role or genre. If you will notice, he has done various kinds of roles and genre. Romcom, action, sageuk, melodrama..he also acted as a villain in Five Fingers. I hope a can see him in a fantasy drama when he gets out in the army.
I believe he will still do action dramas in the future. But not now. He needs to explore different roles.

im just so happy that he will stay away from action for a while. i want to see him in different light plus K2 almost drained his energy because of TOO MANY ACTION. he will go to army and the least thing he could do before he is about to worn out is to away from action. hah
he's so good in action but i think he have something up from his sleeve if he'll do melos or such. im positive!

Yessss please! I did mentioned before that I was imagining if MGY played Anna in K2, maybe the writing of Anna will be much better and the perfomance will be great.
MGY has been absent from kdramaland for long time, we need her back. Or if not MGY, a good actress who can be on par with Ji Chang Wook's acting, if not better. Moon Chae Won probably a great choice too :)

How would the writing of Anna be better if MGY played her? That's out of her hands. MGY is a good actress, but even she can't magically make a poorly written character good.

Probably it can. In my opinion, sometimes the way the writer write any character also depends on how he / she see the acting chop of that particular actor. If I were the writer, this factor probably will come into my consideration as well.
And yes of course good actor won't be able to save a poorly written character and plot. But at least the acting still shine. Good example Scholar Who Walks The Night.

Anna is poorly-written character, but a good actress could probably makes the character more interesting.
Let's consider this, for example, Jin Se Yeon playing the female lead in Doctor Stranger. Surely the character is written poorly, but if, say a better actress like Kang Sora (the 2nd lead) or Kim So Eun playing that character it might be more interesting. Conversely if Dae Jang Geum's character was played by less stellar actress than Lee Young Ae maybe we'll never know DJG.
So in my opinion, a good actress should be able to elevate a character, even tiniest bit and I always prefer a good actress over a popular one.

I think the last time Ji Chang Wook really had a chance to show his acting prowess was when he did Empress Ki. I did like Healer and K2 was ok, but he did not really do much acting wise. I can't wait for this new drama.

Indeed. Ta Hwa was not necessarily better than Jung Hoo as a character, but Empress Ki did showcase a plethora of Chang Wook's acting capabilities. From whiny, immature and playful prince to the lovestruck and sensual emperor and finally (SPOILERS!! I think...) deranged and hysterical (which I think he did best actually).
He is immensely talented and I really hope he will get the chance to unleash the full extent of his acting chops in this show.

I totally agree with you @kanz, for me TaHwan is his best performance ever as an actor! He is mindblowing there, he owns the character, he lived the character and I just had the immense respect for him in EK. I hope his character in drama will equal or even surpass Tahwan in his portrayal.

It's most likely will air on SBS after 'While Are You Sleeping' ends.

I thought the same thing. In fact, when I saw this article I thought I was mistaken and maybe he wasn't an '87-er, but I checked and he is!
I know Seo In-gook and someone else said they are going to enlist as soon as they are called to, but there are other '87 actors like Lee Min-ho who haven't said anything about enlisting yet as far as I know.
Dramaland sure will be strange these next couple of years without these guys.

Look at YAI he is a year older than him I think and still have not enlisted..

Is this like a last gift before he enlists? Omg, I thought The K2 will be his last one and now there is a possibility of melo? Yes, yes, yes! Don't get me wrong, I love him in action, but when drama is so overblown (the way The K2 was) acting gets lost and it's such a shame, since JCW is a very good actor. I am especially happy, because I watched Lotte's promotional drama (good laugh, I reccomend) and was swooning my heart out at his episode (so much bias for this guy... Though Park Hae-jin, damn his rolled up sleeves.). I will be praying for this to work!

I believe he wanted The K2 to be his last drama before his enlistment but when that didn't turn out that great, I guess he reconsidered. You know how actors like to leave for enlistment with a really really good drama so that the audience will still remember them when they return. I dunno, maybe that's just me.
Anyway, I hope they partner him with a great actress, one that could match his acting skills (please not an idol hehe)! Good luck, Wookie!

No, the "Only Son/One Family Breadwinner" rule was phased out because too many men that met such a description were taking advantage of the rule, and the military started suffering a steep decline in recruits. There are still exceptions granted upon severe family hardships and the like, but if you don't want to incur the seething wrath of the Korean public, you'd better suck it up and enlist anyway.

Long post warning: I never knew who JCW was until recently, when out of boredom, I decided to check out Healer since my youtube main page keeps recommending Healer OSTs. I liked Healer so I decided to lookup his other work and found Empress Ki. Wow, I totally fell in love with him as the emperor. In my humble opinion and limited Kdrama watching experience, his character in Empress Ki is one of the best-written characters I've ever seen (Asian or American dramas/movies). Complex and full of flaws. With a less skilled actor, he would be much hated but JCW elevated his role into someone you can root for and empathize with. His delivery is exceptionally nuanced and layered. It doesn't hurt that JCW looked so damn fine and truly exuded an "emperor-like" aura. This was truly the role of a life time for any actor.
I started watching the K2, purely just for JCW, but I could not get past episode 7. Gosh, I cannot stop staring at him, but even JCW's visuals can't overcome this poorly-written and poorly-directed drama. I don't like action movies/dramas. Usually, I fast forward all the action scenes, but I actually "watched" all of JCW's action sequences in K2 (up to episode 7, that is). I've been reading JCW's post K2 interviews where he reiterates how he regrets the development (or lack thereof) for JeHa and Anna's affection. First of all, I'm amazed that he is so honest and secondly, I cannot agree with him more. The K2 would be much more emotionally convincing (and probably get more viewership) if 1) Anna was given an iota of personality. The whole set up of a powerless and helpless girl yearning for daddy's affection is such an old, worn-out trope, especially in light of the strong female characters that we see recently in Kdrama land (Dr. Kang Mo Yoen in DOTS or Young Shin from Healer, as examples) AND 2) the drama provides more emotional development to JeHa's fascination and affection towards Anna. Their romance is completely un-natural and un-convincing. I keep wondering if maybe JCW could play JeHa better but I doubt he could do much with the terrible script and direction/editing. I still love him to pieces and hope to see his talent on display in his next project. Stay healthy, Oppa, with your reputation for action, you may yet slay the big screen in an action block buster in the future. But in the mean time, please hurry and give us some heart-fluttering, gut-wrenching, angsty romance.

I actually love action dramas, but K-2 ended up being a problem for me pretty much for the same reasons you mention. Given this writer's history, I think he should stay away from romance. The problem is it is almost a given that most K-dramas are going to have a romance element. This writer (who did Yong Pal) doesn't seem very inspired in the love department. Two Weeks (love it) with LJG is the rare k-drama with hardly any romance but then it got middle of the road ratings so there's that.
Regardless, it would be great if JCW could get another drama done before we say goodbye for 2 years.

I agree to you. The K2 makes me hates Im Yoon-ah more. She doesn't fits to the role. For me, healer is the best.

why would you hate her? o.o such an unnecessary and excessive reaction to someone not being a good actress.

Such a nice suprise,i was already preparing my heart to say goodbye for 2 years thinking he will now like to the army...I like the writer,her dramas are quite addicting,fast paced and with intretsing characters...now hope the cast will be indeed good with a good actress fir the leading lady

I loved both dramas of the writer, I had my take on Mask but I loved it anyway, so I'd be happy if he's confirmed!! he's a really talented actor and seing him in meety roles is always a pleasure and it would be good for him to rest his body a little from all the action he had to do in The K2, he was great but I felt really sorry for him as he was constantly in action with no break!!

I thought Ji Chang Wook was expected to enlist around March 2017? Yet the filming for this drama begins in March?
I'm so excited though!! Secret was AMAZING despite my constant frustrations with the traitor second male lead lmao. Although I think this means Ji Chang Wook couldn't find a good rom-com script so he'll challenge himself with a heavy melodrama haha

Wook was merely scheduled to receive his Notice to Enlist in either late February or March 2017; it's not a mandate to enlist at all. That Notice will tell him the where and when he must report for basic training.

Indeed happy news. although like many i consider empress ki like his best but i think acting wise healer is not less than that either. i mean just episode 14 proves that. in a way he has matured a lot. what really makes him special in acting is his body language and his eyes. he does the talking really without the talking

New Drama? Oh, I really can't wait! Ji Chang-wook please choose a great drama project. Who's the lead female?
hmm I think, would be very suitable if it Moon Chae-won. Or maybe, Park Min-young again?

Maybe he wants us to remember him in a meatier role compared to Jeha of K2. i felt that character was just a character- nothing layered. Just fight and keep flighting. In Healer at least the character was multi dimensional. so hope his next project is a better one and would challenge him the way he wanted

If him being the lead will become final, I hope the female will either be Park Min Young (again, for their over-the-charts chemistry!) or Moon Chae Won (coz I miss her). Oh please? :)

Regarding the article, i found it odd that you felt like he was leaping too quickly to another show. No sooner than DOTS finished, Song Joong Ki started filming the Battleship Island series with So Ji Sub. Gong Yoo had 4 shows in 2016: A Man and a Woman, Train to Busan, Age of Shadows and Goblin. I am thankful these actors that are so talented (and handsome) are serving us so swiftly with new shows because i miss the heck out of them after each show ends.

Wow this is indeed good news for all of us fans of JCW! He is a very versatile actor so I welcome any news of him for any future drama! I hope that he be team up with a very fine actress too!
More power JCW! And more projects to come in 2017 before you enlist!
