A Hundred Million Stars Falling From the Sky remake confirms Seo In-gook, Jung So-min
by javabeans
Seo In-gook, Jung So-min, Park Sung-woong
The main cast is officially confirmed for tvN’s upcoming drama A Hundred Million Stars Falling From the Sky, a remake of the hit Japanese drama from 2002 starring Kimura Takyua and bearing the same name. (Sort of. Many translations call it A Million Stars Falling From the Sky, but technically, the title gives us a hundred million stars. In case you were counting.) The cast will be led by Seo In-gook (Shopping King Louis) and Jung So-min (Because This Life Is Our First), with Park Sung-woong (Life on Mars, Man to Man) currently in talks to join them.
The drama was announced over a year ago, and recently name-dropped Seo In-gook and Jung So-min as casting possibilities. Park Sung-woong is the newest name to join the mix of this project helmed by director Yoo Je-won of rollicking rom-com dramas Oh My Ghostess and High School King of Savvy, and written by Song Hye-jin of the movies My Wife Got Married and Love, Lies.
The original series was a mystery-thriller-romance drama that kicks off with a suspicious death and a police detective suspecting that our main character, a mysterious sous chef, knows more than he lets on. In this updated remake, Seo In-gook’s character is the main assistant in a craft brewery who seems indifferent on the surface but has an unexpected innocent side. Which is exactly how I would describe Seo In-gook’s personal appeal, so that casting seems spot-on.
Jung So-min plays an advertising designer, Yoo Jin-kang, who lost her parents in an accident when she was young and was raised by her older brother and underwent a whole host of diverse growing pains. She meets the mysterious Kim Mu-young in an encounter described as both sudden and curious, after which she experiences huge changes in her life. She becomes swept up in him “as though he’s a black hole” and their ensuing love story is described as fatal and fate-challenging.
Park Sung-woong is up to play the detective investigating the case who is also Jung So-min’s brother. Ah, of course. It wouldn’t be a K-drama if all three characters weren’t tied up in fate’s knot and thrown around to feel some good-old-fashioned melo paiiinnnnn.
A Hundred Million Stars Falling From the Sky will air on tvN later this year.

The story seems like it would be right up SIG's alley... I can't wait for it to air already!

The fact that it's written by Javabeans is bigger news than the news itself ^^' . Glad to read news again on DB :) . Regarding the drama, I'll give it a try for Seo In Guk. About Jung So Min I loved "My father is strange" and watched "Because this is our first life" but she hasn't convinced me yet, her acting is good but not on a wow level ^^', guess SIG will save the day ^^'.

I feel the same as you do, regarding Jung So min. I don't actively dislike her in a drama but I could always think of someone else I'd prefer. I never ever feel passion from her acting. Even when she cries, it just comes across as 'little girl forced to confront the harsh world' and not 'adult facing tough times, making difficult decisions and feeling very deeply'. I like her in cute romcoms, but melo? We'll see.
Thank God SIG is back baby!!!

I'm so excited! Seo In Guk in a new drama! The director really favors him, haha.
I only worry a little bit about how the Korean audience will react to this, after SIG got an exemption from military service March 2017. Ideally, this drama would start in the first half of 2019.

I agree. YEH has a more confident and mature aura, JSM has a more innocent and girly aura, and her face features are more eye-catching. But they are very similar.

How I miss these DB news. (Hopefully it'll be a regular post again just like old times. Google translating news from korean sites just isn't the same.) And it's so great to see you writing again, javabeans. The drama sounds intriguing, and I like all the cast too. Let's see if I'll be in the mood for melo-thriller when it's finally airing.

And it's in English! I did what you did.. went to Korean news sites for a while every day and Google translated everything. It's just too tiring especially since Korean newspapers don't post every single drama and movie tidbit like we're used too

I wonder if k-drama will have the same shocking ending as Japanese original.
I can’t imagine Korean audience would stomach such an ending.

at the same time, it would be super DUMB if they changed the ending, don't you think?
i'm actually not happy SIG is playing the role... but they changed the character from "dangerous" to "innocent"??
hmmm....

JB! A news post!!!! It's been so long!!! I could cry. I wanted to post how something was sorely missing on this site but I didn't want to complain, lol.
Anyway, I am super excited about this one! I'm not sure about the changes. Will our lead guy still be dark and mysterious? Is the innocence just a front? I'm so curious though!

Yay, SIG is back! I want nothing but good things for him and it saddens me how much flack he has been getting for not serving in the military, even though he tried his best and it wasn’t his fault.
This drama sounds like it has shades of I Remember You, which is a great thing. I’d love to once again see mysterious SIG in a tense war of wits against an older character actor, while navigating a scorching romance with a sassy leading lady. Can we throw in an adorable dongsaeng please?

Luckily it sounds interesting (I haven't seen the original). And I love craft brew so seeing Seo In Guk making beer is something I didn't know I needed in life.
I AM EXCITED. Seo In Guk back on my screen this year!!!

OMG I just read up on the original show's "twist" because I don't care for spoilers when it comes to remakes and hmmm... my guess is that tvN will tone it down considerably and probably change stuff to better suit Korean audiences. Because yikes, that's some taboo content with no HEA I can foresee...

Not sure about the story but my favorite dramas this year have been ones that didn't sound like my kind of thing so drama gods, let this one continue the trend.
I LOVE SIG though and like Jung So Min.
I read about the Japanese version, and I can't imagine they won't make some changes (or one big change, at least) for the Korean audience. I liked the PD's rom-coms; I hope he can give us something dark and compelling.
