I repeat.
Oh. MY. GOD.
I literally let out a (quickly stifled) noise when I read this.
Some of you might remember talks, some months ago, about an upcoming Korean drama, Triple, set in the world of figure-skating and starring nobody I ever heard of before or was interested in, but which I was going to watch because...I love figure-skating.
Well, some time ago the male lead (whose name escapes me, I think he was a newbie) left, for whatever reason.
Then.
I knew some time after that they got Lee Seon-Kyun (the guy with the sexiest voice ever, the Other Guy in Coffee Prince) in that drama and I got a bit excited. I like him a lot. If I ever watch Sweet Seoul, it will basically be because of him.
So the fact that he was cast got me a bit excited. I won't automatically watch a drama because he is in it, but it is definitely a plus.
Then.
A few weeks ago, I read they got Yoon Kye-Sang (male lead of Crazy for You, Who are You, Sister-in-Law is 19) to also be in that drama.
Now, I got even more excited. I really really like YKS. He is sexy, masculine, and a pretty damn good actor to boot.
So I was already predisposed to be quite enthusiastic about Triple. One actor I like, one actor I like A LOT, and figure-skating.
THEN.
I randomly opened my browser to dramabeans' blog as I do fairly regularly, and what I saw made me seriously hyperventilate.
In addition to the two above (both playing ad execs) NOW THEY HAVE KANG JI HWAN AS THE LEAD.
I repeat. Kang Ji Hwan. Who happens to be the male lead of two of my all-time favorite kdramas, Capital Scandal and Hong Gil Dong, and who is, bar none, my favorite kdrama actor ever.
Oh. My. GOD.
All this and figure-skating.
At this point, I don't even care if this thing has a plot or who the female lead is (she is an actress I am not familiar with at all, Min Hyo-Rin).
Because...
GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.
I just might die.
(It is totally awesome that the gals at dramabeans are as ecstatic over this as I am!)
Also, this is by the PD of Coffee Prince. Whoa.
If this goes the way of Daemul (i.e. scrapped because of production issues) I just might kill something.
yoon kye sang,
kang ji hwan,
