Jang Dong-gun, Park Hyung-shik team up for remake of Suits
by girlfriday
Wow, that’s one hell of a leading cast. Jang Dong-gun (VIP) is coming back to dramaland five years after his last drama, A Gentleman’s Dignity, in the new KBS drama remake of the popular American series Suits. And the happy news doesn’t stop there: Rising star Park Hyung-shik (Strong Woman Do Bong-soon) will be the other half of the two-top drama, about a hotshot lawyer and the young genius he (illegally) takes under his wing.
Suits, which has been on for seven seasons on cable network USA, is a slick, fast-talking legal drama about New York City’s best closer (Harvey Specter), and the down-on-his-luck legal genius (Mike Ross) he hires as his associate… even though he’s never gone to law school. Mike is a college dropout who illegally takes the bar exam for other people to make money, so he’s a walking encyclopedia of legal knowledge, especially since he’s a genius who never forgets something he reads once. He ends up crashing a job interview for Harvey’s new associate position, and Harvey is so impressed that he hires him, and thus begins their risky partnership.
Jang Dong-gun has signed on to play Harvey’s counterpart, charismatic lawyer Choi Kyung-seo, a legend at the top law firm in Korea. Harvey’s character oozes charm and confidence, so Jang Dong-gun is pitch-perfect for the role, and a huge get for the remake. Park Hyung-shik has been confirmed to play the young genius associate, Go Yeon-woo, who learns the ropes under his new mentor’s tutelage. I’ve been impressed with Park Hyung-shik in all of his roles thus far, and I’m excited to see him try a different genre and character (say, not a chaebol).
Fingers are crossed for the remake to retain the same fast-paced, energetic feel of the original series. The writer, Kim Jung-min, is unknown, but I have high hopes for PD Kim Jin-woo, who directed the moody, visually strong Mystery Queen earlier this year (and was also the second PD on Healer). KBS Media (Seven Day Queen, The Best Hit) and Monster Union (Dreamcide) will collaborate on the production of the remake, which is being planned for a 2018 broadcast on KBS.

Of course there will be Donna for sure. I am sure there will also be a Rachel. What I am worried is that since this is a K-drama there might focus in love line more than necessary. Atleast Mike and Rachel are really together but I don't want them to suddenly create this K-dramaland love story for Harvey and Donna because I prefer them as friends like in Suits. But I really feel like because this is K-drama we will get the 2 love lines story more than necessary. I hope not. They should focus on Harvey-Mike camaraderie and the cases they solve together.

I really can't trust K-drama not to include love lines because 99% of K-dramas that I have watch have love lines. Even my favorite legal/thriller drama Signal have love line between the leads even if it wasn't the central story. So yeah I am already preparing myself for the love lines but I just hope it was just a side story and the focus remain on Harvey-Mike bromance and them solving cases. Plus Donna is a kick-ass girl. She's amazing and is a great help to the boys so they better not downgrade her to a love interest or I'll drop this drama even if I love Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Shik.

Yay! - Park Hyung Sik in a new drama role. As a lawyer, no less! :D
Nay! - Remake of American Show. Suits, at that.
I'm wary of remakes after Criminal Minds and Entourage. As a practicing lawyer (advocate, in my jurisdiction) myself, I've found Suits to be ridiculously removed from reality. The ruthless destruction of all possible rules of procedure really put me off, as did the slick "lawyers". Eeks. I'm hoping the Korean take on it will remind me why I love K-dramas and no longer watch American TV - because Park Hyung Sik. ^^

Aww, as a trainee-lawyer myself in Europe, I did like Suits. I just make myself believe it probably makes sense in the States, even though a lot of stuff definitely wouldn't fly over here.
But the show is fast-paced and funny, and there are some bits that definitely feel true to life - the corporate lawyer life.

Excited to see Park Hyun-shik inhabiting his next role as a legal genius, instead of a medical genius or a time-traveling genius (or a time-traveling genius surgeon who helps the cops to fight against all the corruption in the world).
Especially excited for the possible fast talking and snappy repartee with Hyun-shik's sexy nasal voice. Even though not particularly as impressed with his singing, I found myself really drawn to the tenor of his voice ever since watching him for the first time in High Society,.

It's been four months since Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and finally, a drama news for Park Hyung Sik. And now I get to see him in suits and more suits? Sign me up! :D
I take it as a positive sign that this drama secured its leads so quickly without going through the "so-and-so has been offered the lead role", "so-and-so has turned down the lead role". That must mean something right?
Also, I can already see the bromance between these two - the mentor and the protege. I have faith that this will be good. K-netz are already positive and hopeful with the cast and director on board so far, so I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

Yeah and also they secured Jang Dong Gun!! He turned down lots of dramas. He haven't been on dramaland since A Gentleman Dignity more than 5 years ago. And even for that drama Kim Eun Sook work so hard to get him to sign on. So it must mean the script impress him to finally made his dramaland comeback right?!
Also Hyungshik have said he is really picky for his next drama after SWDBS success so he must have thought this drama is a great follow up for him.

Mike (the role PHS will be portraying) do have illegal activities though. He take bar exams for others to earn money. That's illegal. Also because he needed money for his grandma he once agreed to deliver drugs for his drug-dealer friend for money. This all happen before he was taken under Harvey. And even him working as Harvey's associate is also illegal because he never had a law degree so they have to lie and deceive people. So yeah I think that falls under the 'baddie' category Hyungshik wants to play.

I wonder who'll get cast as Rachel, Donna, Louis, and Jessica.
I think the actors/actresses below would somewhat fit
Donna
How about Chae Rim? Just because I'm feeling nostalgic and would like to see the "All About Eve" pairing once again.
other possible choices:
Choi Ji Woo
Lee Mi Yeon
Lee Min Jung
Jung Ryeo Won (not happening since she's already working on a drama)
Rachel - Lee Sung Kyung
other possible choices:
Han Hyo Joo
Park Se Young
Go Ara (just because I'm curious how the chemistry would fare if they were paired off this time. i really thought that they looked really good together in hwarang)
Jessica - Kim Hee Ae
Louis - ?

If they didn't change any character description from the US version, my dream cast would be:
Donna : Chae Jung-ahn (Man to man), Kim Heesun (I doubt bcs they already snatched big names)
Rachel : Park Seyoung (OMG we all know how she slayed being a lawyer and being confident in Whisper) or Seo Jihye because I've been dying to see her in something good tbh
Louis : Choi Wonyoung or anyone else that could make us see Louis as someone with flaws, not someone annoying (Like how Rick Hoffman perfectly done)
As for Jessica, I could not think any name (probs bcs I'm not familiar with older actress) that could pass as a mentor to Jang Donggun tbh.

Donna is Harvey's secretary but she's everybody's person in a sassy and elegant way.
Rachel is Mike's fiancee (currently) she's a very smart lawyer but she was stucked as a paralegal for years before finally being able to take the LSATs. Well, mediocre girlfriend character to the main guy, I guess.
Jessica is Harvey's boss and mentor. Her relationship with Harvey more or less mirrors Harvey and Mike's.
While Louis is a very complicated character and very hard to explain HAH. He's a guy who loves everyone but not always shows it in the right way. Probably why he could come out very annoying if it weren't for the actor

Remake is never ever a good idea unless it is a remake of some lousy shows (which ofc nobody would want to remake).

I was just yesterday checking to see if there's any casting news and all I find is his supposed crush on Park Bo-young. Which brings me to my next freak-out: is it too much to for a Park Bo-Young appearance/lead role/anything to cure my Strong Woman Bong Soon withdrawals? Pretty please! 😔
The remake of the Good Wife, also a legal drama, turned out so well with the veteran actors that I'm inclined to have high expectations for Korean Suits. Wohoo

Although the main charm of Suits is Harvey and Mike camaraderie and chemistry. They have an amazing rapport. I hope JDG and PHS pulls it off. Their chemistry together will be one of the most important factor for this drama to work. The other one would be the script, I really really hope the writer will make a script. I hope they take past real life cases in Korea and use it in the drama. I really this will be more like Signal. Writer-nim I am giving you all my trust.

Original: Paper thin characters. Really bad acting. Pretentious writing. Substitutes sex for heart. It's really not worth wasting time on.

I mean, in the original she is so full of charm, presence and a sensational woman and I simply love her, the best presence of leader women in the show. I faithfully hope they don't change the gender of her character.

Dang, I was waiting for this post last night, but I had to go to bed. LOL
I’m not familiar with Suits, but my sister watches it. She watches American TV shows whereas I watch kdramas. I can’t wait to tell her about this though. xD
I really want to see Park Hyung Sik in a strong, meaty role. But a remake? UGHHHH those dramas often disappoint. Still bummed over Korean Criminal Minds and still haven’t finished it yet.

I hope it will be just as good as The Good Wife remake! I can totally see Park Hyungshik as the alter-Mike. Hopefully they cast the ladies and Louis right too! The chemistry of the ensemble is key!

OH YESH YESH YESSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Suits is definitely one of my most favorite American TV series. Honestly, the legal probs are a bit meh because they just recycled it again and again (with different characters as "enemy") though with a tad different closure from Harvey but what I love the best from Suits are the slick and savage dialogues between those characters. I mean who doesn't agree that one of the reason they watches suits is for Harvey being such a badass?? I'm I could totally see Jang Donggun in that. Though, I don't know about Hyungshik's Mike but I'm more than ready to see a messy Hyungshik! YESH! But though, please don't go entourage way pls don't go entourage way please don't go entourage way.
PS. If they would ignore those loveline (which I doubt) can they just ignore Mike's loveline instead of Harvey's because if we would not even get Darvey in a Korean Drama we won't get it anywhere else.

I'm with you on ignoring Mike's loveline. (I don't really think it's a loveline btw, it looked more like pure lust to me.) The girl was really the character that made me drop the show when she started to take up more screen time. I disliked her acting and also the character.

I am not familiar with Suits. I've heard of it, but have never watched it, nor do I have any idea that it was about a lawyer and his illegal protege. But I like both of these actors, so it I'll be looking forward to this. I just hope it's a better remake than Criminal Minds is turning out to be.

Super look forward to this, even if the role isn't a chaebol's I'm sure Park Hyung Shik will be great. If I remember correctly, Mike is kind of a straight man to Harvey in way, so after his turn in SWDBS, I'm looking forward to this.

Super excited about this! I really like the cast! Please drama god, let this be a good one! I had watched maybe the first two seasons of suits before I dropped it but I can definitely see a good Korean version remake. If it turns out to be another Criminal Minds, I will probably curse KBS for wasting such good ensembles.

But the acting in the original is so baaaaaad! Who watches that thing?
Let's hope the Korean version is a stronger offering.

A remake of Suits? Hmm, I'm kinda iffy about K-drama remakes of US shows. Especially since I actually watched Suits and I think it would be pretty hard to capture the magic of characters like Louis and Donna.
Can't think of who to cast for Louis but I kind of see Kim Hyun Joo as a good candidate for Donna. Her character in What Happens to My Family was a sassy secretary and I think she could pull of the Donna sass and sophisticated, sultry vibe.

Also, I can picture having Kim Seo Hyung (Empress Ki, The Good Wife) as Jessica. She has the necessary kickass, no nonsense vibe to me.
