Production of Chuno begins filming
by javabeans
Here’s the first still released of Chuno [or Pursuing Servants, aka 추노], the new action sageuk drama on KBS. The production began filming on August 13 in Suwon with Oh Ji-ho; main lead Jang Hyuk began filming the following day.
Jang Hyuk plays a man who was originally of high birth, but a slave sets fire to his house and escapes, ruining his name and his family’s. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge, he dedicates himself to apprehending the runaway slave and gives chase.
Oh Ji-ho plays that slave on the run who, prior to his fall from grace, had been a military officer and good friends with the crown prince. His character becomes a scapegoat in a political move and is made into a slave serving government officials. He decides to make a break for it and, following his escape, fights against an immense conspiracy plot. Apparently Oh has been so busy with physical training and martial arts practice that his body (which has always been known for being well-built) is now only 2% body fat.
The grand-scale drama boasts “splendid visuals” and is written by Level 7 Civil Servant‘s Chun Sung-il, and directed by Conspiracy in the Court‘s Kwak Jung-hwan.

The day I have 2% body fat or less is the day I'm lying six feet underneath the ground in my coffin, bones and all.

2% Quite amazing! Way below even the top fit olympic athletes! But seriouslys isn't anything below 10% not healthy even if one is fit?

This plot attract me so incontrovertible (in the second instance, I am eager to once again appreciate the acting of Jang Hyuk, wonderful actor).
I will try to find time to watch it.

2% body fat is insane. Even professional body builders don't have it that low. How does he manage to stay healthy like that? Or does he?

That sounds insane really o__0
And yeah, is Lee Da Hae the female lead or what? She probably is, since there has been no news to contra that though I do think it's weird how it is on that front...

KBS website listed Lee Da Hae as the female lead, but her side never confirmed it. I guess it's her if KBS listed her as one.
she gets with both Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji Ho. busy slave she is.

2% body fat is hard to believe.
I was around 3-4% when I trained for crew and that was when I was a young buck in college and not a thirty-something that OJH is; even top professional athletes don't get down to 2% body fat.
