Yoon Sang-hyun storms the Lady Castle
by javabeans
Ohhhhhh! This was not expected! Queen of Housewives hottie Yoon Sang-hyun (the “thirtysomething Gu Jun-pyo”) has scored big with his follow-up project: acting opposite Yoon Eun-hye in the upcoming romantic comedy series Lady Castle.
A lot of name actors had been mentioned as possibilities for this role — I’d heard murmurs of Kang Dong-won and Won Bin, as well as Lee Dong-gun or Kim Rae-won — but in the end it’s a fresher face (although he’s the oldest out of the bunch). I’m actually really pleased with this — Yoon Sang-hyun isn’t just a pretty face, he can do both comedy and drama, and although he’s a relatively green actor, he’s got tons of charisma.
Yoon Sang-hyun is a last-minute hire; he met with producers on June 23 and after coming to an agreement, they are heading into final contract negotiations. As soon as those are finalized, he’ll enter into filming immediately. He had actually been a strong contender to head Magazine Allo — which would have also been hunky-dory with me — but because of the plagiarism accusations and subsequent scheduling delays, he chose Lady Castle. (Maybe that’s why Magazine Allo producers were particularly peeved with Style for ruining their production.)
The story of Lady Castle situates Yoon Eun-hye as as the “princess-like” middle daughter in a rich household. She crosses paths with a poor man who becomes the household manager (who secretly aims to get at the family’s hidden slush fund), and is involved in a love triangle with him and a rich man from an aristocratic family. Yoon Sang-hyun is currently in discussions over which of these two characters he will play. (Just as long as he doesn’t pull a Kwon Sang-woo and play them both!)
Writers are Yoon Eun-kyung and Kim Eun-hee (When Night Comes, Winter Sonata — meh); director is PD Ji Young-soo (Flowers For My Life — yes!).
Lady Castle will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays on KBS after Partner ends at the end of August.

Ehhh... I don't like him for her. He's older than her, and I don't think he's a good match. Hopefully he doesn't pick to be the leading man. I heard he's still thinking about whether he will take the leading role, or act as the butler. BUTLER PLS!

For those who've never seen him in a drama. You need to watch Queen of Housewives. He was so unexpectedly charming, charismatic and good-looking.. I initially saw him in "3 Daddies and One Mommy" but he was only in it briefly in the beginning because he dies. I'm looking forward to this drama. I also like Yoon Eun Hye after watching Goong, Coffee Prince and Vineyard Man.

Yoon Eun Hye ever mentioned she don't mind if the rating is low.
Maybe the role she had chosen is out of her comfort zone ?

^^^ You know, I loved that character in 3 daddies but I didn't recognize him at all, I thought he was adorable but with the glasses and the lack of facial hair I didn't make the connection. Good to know, he's the adorable dad!
I think he would make a better rich guy because it seems like the poor one is going to end up being the bad guy. I'd want him to be the rich one.

Even though I have never seen him before, I'd like to see him with YEH as soon as I saw them together. This is one drama that I'd look forward to see. YEH always manage to have awesome chemistry with her leading men. I think they gonna be really good together. Please be the leading man of Lady Castle!

"Yoon Eun Hye ever mentioned she don’t mind if the rating is low.

kween, YEH said that statement not because her role in LC is out of her comfort zone, but because she doesn't want to feel burden by her previous dramas who had high rating. If the role is out of her comfort zone, why she's waiting this drama to be broadcasted although the production co. has problem with the law (Korean drama board banned them for giving Park Shin Yang too high salary). And for that, she has turned down many dramas offer. YEH is known in Korean entertainment industry as an actress who's good at picking her next project. So aside from the "cheesy" storyline, I think YEH see some potential in this drama.

I've actually only seen Exhibition of Fireworks and One Mom and Three Dads with Yoon Sang Hyun in it.... and to be honest I ABSOLUTELY HATED Yoon Sang Hyun AND his character in Exhibition of Fireworks...but then again I hated the drama itself... and since his screen time in One Mom was so minimal, his character never really grew on me.... It sounds like I should watch Queen of Housewives to see a new side of him?

I am so happy that yoon eun hye will star in a new drama "Lady Castle" but felt sad knowing the actor who will act opposite her. of the many actors being eyed on the role why should it be him. the way i see it, they won't look good together, the actor has no charm at all. I hope the production team will changed him

I am very happy that Yoon Sang Hyun will be playing the butler in Lady Castle. It's about time he got a leading role. He was the best thing in Marrying a Millionaire and is role in Queen of Housewives was a breakthrough (we even got to hear him sing). Love his brilliant eyes and total charisma. I am sure he will have great chemistry with Yoon Eun Hye since he had it with Kim Nam Joo in QOH.
The age difference shouldn't be an issue. There are thousands (if not millions) of couples in the world with a ten-year or older age difference (e i Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones), so why are people so shocked or disgusted? I am sure this will work nicely for this comedy.

i agree with you javabeans Yoon sang ssi got tons of charisma! i've liked countless Korean actors since i came to get addicted to K dramas but after seeing Yoon sang ssi in Queen of Housewives, i just can't explain the feeling how much i like him now. When i saw him first in 3 Dads then followed by Marrying a Millionaire --- in 3 Dads i didn't really know him so i wasn't paying much attention, then in Marrying...i started liking him and with QOH....the rest is history! He's got an unexplainable charisma compared to other Korean actors i like! I'll surely support all his projects without a doubt! He's super cute & his acting in Queen...is just super funny & cute! Love his moustache, it suits him...I know some people commented that he shld shave it off but I think not! More power to you Yoon Sang ssi & keep up the good work! Thnx javabeans for posting so many good articles & photos!

@bao bei -- i agree with you 101% he's perfect for the role....forget about the age gap...it doesn't matter...look at Yoon in Queen of Housewives i agree...and you'll see why we're rooting for him! oh he's so adorable, yes and cute smiles...he was good in Tae bong role being so frivolous & all that! I also can't wait to see this drama series cause i like Eun also.

Yoon Sang hyeon definitely oozing with charisma, funny, cute, handsome, can really act....Queen of Housewives did it for him and I cldn't be more happier for him as he deserves it! Yeyyyy if I can only give him a hug right now I would fly to Korea in a jiffy! This actor is sooooooooo charming, moustache and w/o it suits him what can I say? I think this is a good year for Yoon! In 3 Dads i didn't really get to see much of him as his character dies but in QOH....I just think he hits it BIG TIME! Just like others here, i'm so looking f/ward to seeing Lady Castle or My Fair Lady which by the way this title already was used in a Go Soo & Kim hye sun drama a few yrs ago so I don't know why they'd choose same title. Lady Castle did sound ok and/or appropriate! More power to you Yoon Sang! Aja

truthfully, i've never seen this guy acts in any drama before. however, after watching LC, i have to say that i love his acting skills. and..he's sooooooooooooo cute and sexy! i think i'm gonna check this queen of housewives drama.
and, who the heck gives a hoot about him being old?? 32 is old? no way. methinks those who complained about his age are still in high school!

YSH is a real hottie in My Fair Lady ! The rest of the boys, inspite of their pretty faces and youth, pale in comparison to this new rising star !! Yoon Sang Hyun has that inexplicable 'it' factor that the camera manages to capture,,,,,, way to go !
This drama is very enjoyable and YSH definately sizzles with Yoon Eun Hae and i couldn't wait for the next episode. The only negative comment is that clothes, especially worn by YEH could be more tasteful and less garish and loud.
But overall, this drama is very watchable and the chemistry between the two is pushing the rating higher with each episode. Well done.

I have watched many famous and great Korean Dramas before but none of actors/actresses' acting made me spend time searching for their name except Yoon Sang Hyun. He might not be as young or as handsome as other K-drama stars but believe me, he has an irresistible charm that no famous beauty faces have. His attraction does not simply comes from his outside but deep inside him and shines to make all other younger, cutier faces blur.
His acting is "NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE" since it is not acting, but making a character become a real person with real and deep feelings. The character becomes so real that I can not see him in another series since to me, he is Seo Dong Chan and I cannot accept him to be not. I cannot see him kissing other actress that is not Yoon Eun Hye. Of course, it is not good for him at all as I should be a real fan and watch all his dramas instead of refusing them just because I am in love too much with the buttler Seo that he created.
But, yes, for the first time, I found such a great actor who make me want to know "who he is", "how he is going" and I always wish all the best for him.
