Upcoming drama news - good, good, and...weird.
1. Teaser for Rain's Runaway is out and it did leave me rather breathless. Seeing that Runaway is brought to us by the same PD/writer team who gave us Slave Hunters, a.k.a. not just the best drama of 2010 (IMO) but also a drama that ended up in my Top 10, and that I am a Rain fangirl, I am VERY excited for this, especially after such an excellent teaser (to be honest, I liked the teaser better than Athena's, even though I liked the latter too).
2. Park Shi Hoo, who can do no wrong in my eyes, has joined the cast of upcoming Queen of Reversals. Yup, it's a sort of sequel to Queen of Housewives (with an AU story and a different cast except for the leading lady. Not really a sequel at all, thankfully). Between him and Jung Joon Ho as the leading man, I am not sure whether I will be able to concentrate due to all the heart palpitations. (Much as I love JJH and want him to get Kim Nam Joo, please don't leave poor Park Shi Hoo out in the cold, drama).
3. The latest for My Princess, the upcoming romcom starring Song Seung Heon and Kim Tae Hee (the drama henceforth to be known as "the prettiest drama ever") is that it's set for premiere in early 2011 - January, I believe. YES. KTH is a hidden princess who ends up taking over SSH's inheritance (his grandfather decides to leave everything to her for some reason) and SSH, not too happy about it, has to tutor her in the ways of the polite world. One word - YUM.
4. And now for the weird. Remember the upcoming Secret Garden, the fantasy/melodrama about bodyswaps and what not, from the writer of Lovers dramas/On Air/City Hall and which was set to star Jang Hyuk, Ha Ji Won, and Yoon Sang Hyun. Well, the drama is still on, only now Jang Hyik is out and Hyun Bin is in. I am completely torn over these news. On one hand, Hyun Bin is probably my favorite kdrama actor (after Snow Queen, Worlds Within and Friends, he can do no wrong in my eyes. Ironically I dislike his name-making Kim Sam Soon). And the fact that he will be able to squeeze in a high-profile drama before his military service is certainly a cause of joy. OTOH, Jang Hyuk! I love Jang Hyuk to a ridiculous degree, and after his amazing performance in Slave Hunters, he certainly earned another high-profile project (also, it would heal the wounds left by Hunters - just because I shipped Lee Da Hae with Oh Ji Ho, didn't mean I was impervious to Jang Hyuk's incredible angst). More importantly, it does not seem to be his choice - he had no say in the matter and it's a reuslt of his agency playing bizarre games with the production, trying to get its newest hot idol singer a role. Which is just appalling.
So yes, torn.
