Yayyyyy for a new project but this just sounds weird!!!
But if JKY has accepted it, it has to be good, right?

A Korean Faust. Interesting. Jung Kyung-ho can definitely pull off this type of desperate anti-hero.

I loved all both of his last two projects. He really have a great eye in picking great dramas. Cant wait for this.

Later half of next year, so that would mean.....summer? Is this show going to be pre produced then.

So, I guess this is the reason he dropped the romcom with Yoo In-na and PD Park Joon-hwa. I trust you, Oppa, always.
You know, I honestly miss you in a sweet-heart-fluttering romance. But maybe, seeing you being desperate choosing between your precious life and some pitiful souls you belatedly realize how much you love them seems worth the wait. I will silently adore you in this, and wait patiently for your next sweet something romance.

Latter half of next year? That seems tooo long to wait for another JKH drama! Sounds like something he'll be brilliant at, as usual. At least now there's something to look forward to. In the meantime, perhaps another JKH marathon is in order.
BTW, he's at the top of my list as favorite actors ever.

"Jung Kyung-ho will play the star composer who has sold his soul to the devil." I wrote this on my wall already but this really reminds me of BTS's Yoongi's solo music + some of his lyrics in the groups songs. I'm instantly sold on this show.

Plus what with him being a composer, I'm hoping for a great OST, in addition to a story I hope to fall in love with.

" This drama is about a man who sold his soul to the devil ten years ago for youth and success. "

Ha, I had just looked at the photo and thought he always looks like he's 12, does the man never age?

Interesting, how very picture of Dorian Gray, I'm in.

I can totally see him being a prick one minute and then a crying baby for his soul the next lol Kinda reminds me of his role in "Falling for Soon Jung", which I love :)

The latter half of next year feels so far away. ;A;
I wanted to see Jung Kyung Ho sooner and in a rom-com, but this new drama stands out from the usual. Seems like a strong, challenging role too.

There is actually one retelling of the legend, Thomas Mann’s novel Doctor Faustus, in which the main Faust character is a composer. I don’t know how closely this will follow the novel if at all but if it does we might get a good bromance in this drama (Doctor Faustus is told from the point of view of the best friend character, not Faust/Leverkuhn himself).

Might I suggest Jang Hyuk as the devil? Or wait, better yet I would love to see an impish but hard-ass Kim Seul-gi play a devil collecting souls.

As much as I'm delighted in this casting news because I think JKH will do great with this part, I'm really curious about the direction the writing and casting of the devil role, and I hope they take it in an interesting and unconventional direction.

Y'know that description would've given me Faust or Dorian Gray vibes but I saw somewhere that it's the writer from Come Back, Ajusshi. So now I'm imagining Jung Kyung-ho as this wacky, unscrupulous guy tricking others into lending their souls to him even while planning to trick the Devil into letting them all go like Captain Jack Sparrow.

But anyway, he can do both extreme ends of the cool and crazy spectrum so either way it'll be fun to watch him.

YASSSSSSS

i was sooo pumped n sooo in until i read it will air next half of 2019 whyyy tourchering me Now with the wait..... The idea is sooo new... #the wait

I was all excited for JKH....but I don't think this is a project I'm interested in.

According to this HELLOKPOP article WHEN THE DEVIL CALLS YOUR NAME will be broadcast in the first half of 2019:
https://hellokpop.com/tv-movies/jung-kyung-ho-soul-devil-drama/
I am in a bit of Agent mode and trying to figure a way to get Jung Kyung-ho and Yoon Hyun-min (two of my favorites) back together in a drama. I think it is possible. YHM's next drama TALE OF GYERYONG FAIRY (also a tvN production) is pre-produced and scheduled to air beginning Nov. 5, 2018. YHM may be available for JKH's new drama. TvN please make it happen. You have both these guys under contract right now.

I would say 90% of the projects that he picks are absolutely great. I cant wait.

Oh man latter half of next year. Waiting for life on Mars was already long enough can’t this be sooner. Anyways Jung Kyung ho being pompous is something I know I love so I’m definitely going to watch this.

I miss him in romcoms like FFI and OMHE, but i'll settle with this. The title intrigues me.

I'll try to tune in for him. After LoM and PP, i think he has learned how to pick his dramas haha. Besides i manage to stick through nearly all his dramas (if not for plot, i stayed for him): Smile You, Heartless City, Missing 9, Falling for Innocence, One More Happy Ending , PP, LoM. The one i couldnt care less is Endless Love which i also tried to watch and jump to his scenes only. Thats how much i like JKH as an actor. Borderline obsessed 🤣.

Anyways, i look forward to see him as a composer and maybe hear him sing. He has a good singing voice as seen in When Love Meets Destiny 🎤 and some OSTs. And maybe he can play the sax too. Hahahaha

He can DEFINITELY pull off the anti-hero. Remember Missing nine? that show was a wreck but of couse he was brilliant in that role.

Anyone know who's gonna play the devil?

No romcom? Okay.. I like this offer more than the previous one 😃

Oppa, you can still do one romcom before this drama. Or maybe any short drama? Like 4 or 8 episodes. Second half of next year is.. still far away. We don't have patience to wait that long.

Waking up to this news. Jung Kyung-ho is already back and the premise sounds so interesting + The Circle PD.😍😍
Can totally imagine him already winning our hearts with this performance.😂😍

He can collect my soul if he so wished tbh I have nothing left to lose

Nihilism aside, I want to know what the other 3 did to sell their souls to the devil and who would actually be cast as the devil because yes yes yes give me an ahjumma devil (preferably Ra Miran or Lee Yoori) who would make his life a literal hell

Jung Kyung Ho again pick the interesting story. And I trust his choice.

I am in.

Oooh, this sounds much better than the drama he was offered before.

@peridot We should check this one out :)

Will there be crossroad demons and hellhounds too? 😁😁

love watching him in anything but I need him to be in another sageuk. NEED MORE OF PRINCE HODONG!

I'm really excited for this as I'm here just after completing life on Mars drama... Jung Kyung ho has a knack for choosing unique roles... But the plot seems somewhat similar to lovely horribly and that is what worries me.... Anyway I trust Jung Kyung ho
