his so cute!!!

i love you kim nam gil

"masculine but also sexy" -- lol. like those 2 things are at odds. ^^

photo-- love! looking forward to 나쁜남자. that's how i like my 남자 kekeke.

JB... happy bday perhaps???

Yes! I'm excited and can't wait for the drama~

I can't wait. I turned into a Kim Nam Gil fan-girl after his Bidam performance.

@ Reese

I haven't even watched QSD and I can tell why people are fangirling him left and right. He's got that aura and charisma that just shines through, even in stills.

This is awesome news, JB! A lead role, in an interesting project. Best of luck to KMG, I'm definitely going to check him out. I've got a soft spot for second lead baddies who steal the drama, it appears that these type of guys are much tastier than the vanilla lead character when done right.

I thought he was going to the army in March, guess not.

Anywho, I just finished watching his movie 'No Regrets' and I'm currently on a KNG high so you bet I'll be watching this.

I thought it`s still uncorfirmed whether he`ll take this drama or not..i guess he does! Yeyy! I looove this guy!!! I`m happy he finally got leading role in the drama..well he practically stole the lead role in Queen Seondeok...sorry for UTW fans...I love him even more when meeting him in person...Appa,saranghae!!

YES!!!! JB you have just made my night!!! I am so super happy, I don't know what to do with myself. Oh be still, my beating heart!

he's my man...<3

@Quidam,

thanks for mentioning "No Regret." cool film. worth another look. ^^

Awesome...and I had thought he was going to have to do his mandatory service soon. Will definitely be tuning in! KNG FTW :)

I hope he will act with lee yo won again..

Bidam!! <3 Yay for KNG! And a leading role too! I don't usually express my inner fangirl very much but this guy definitely deserves it. Thank you Lee MinHo for not taking this one since I believe KNG is able to pull off the "masculine but sexy" look.

yeyyyy..Bidam is back lol...Hope this year turns out to be good one for dramas. I'm looking forward to Bad Guy and Personal Taste and hopefully a drama from Bi (Pleaaasee!!) lol

I'm glad it worked out that way. Lee Min-ho sounds more suitable for the other drama and Kim Nam-gil this.

Weeeee! I'm so happy to hear that! Kim Nam-gil also won me over thanks to his awesome Bidam performance <3 He was definitely a breath of fresh air when he entered that show.

I haven't seen any of his modern dramas, but from the pics I've seen I have to say that I rather dislikes the modern hairstyles he's had. His long hairstyle in Queen Seonduk suits him the best! Too bad he probably won't keep it for Bad Guy (gosh I sound so superficial, but there you have it... I still love the actor!)

Definitely keeping an eye on this one :)

btw, a question... What is "chaebol"? I feel like I should know this term already, but I can't recall the translation...

'Masculine but sexy' - he doesn't even need to do anything. He already fulfills the role. Why are there so many hotties in the korean entertainment industry - this is why i always end up watching so many kdramas

JB,

So the story change? From your previous news, http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/11/lee-min-ho-considers-new-drama-role/ ,
i quote "Contrasting with his ridiculously rich and pampered Gu Jun-pyo character in the drama that made him famous, Boys Before Flowers, this drama’s hero grew up poor and becomes an action school stuntman. Bad Guy is aiming to hit broadcast airwaves next spring." This one doesn`t look interesting. Although the new one kinda typical, but it`s more promising, and with KNG it`ll be more interesting...

I'm currently obsessed with him! Finishing QSD soon and still can't get enough of him. I'm glad that his popularity is rising.

POOR BIDAM!!!! :( :( :(

(And, yes, I think I'm going to keep doing this until Kim Nam Gil's show arrives. I'm still seriously haunted by Episode 62. :( :( :( )

Turns out Kim Nam Gil's military date is around fall 2010, so he's going to get his well-deserved shot at Hallyu stardom (thanks to his film No Regret, he's already had a Japanese fanmeeting.)

Having said that, I'm not especially happy that he opted to do a melodrama (well, hey, it's the director of MiSa, Snow Queen, Sang Do, and partially of Winter Sonata.) I've seen KNG in other parts prior to Queen Seon Duk, and he never really stood out because he was always cast as a serious guy. (And KNG tends to have a melancholy aura about him, as such.) I never knew he had a panache for comedy or "you so crazy I wanna have your baby!" sexiness until his star-turn as (Poor) Bidam.

All the same, I'm glad he's finally gotten his shot at being a lead. And if they're crazy(like a fox?) enough to cast Lee Yo Won, I'll go nuts. (I mean, hey, if Don Yi is doing it, why not Bad Guy?)
