Park Hyung-shik, Seo Kang-joon, Nam Ji-hyun Called for What’s With This Family

Casting is underway for KBS’s newest weekend drama due out this summer, called What’s With This Family. Idol Park Hyung-shik (Heirs, Nine) of Ze:A has been offered the lead, and up-and-comer Seo Kang-joon (Sly and Single Again) and former child star Nam Ji-hyun (Angel Eyes, Hwa-yi) are in talks to join the cast as well. The series will be about a family going about their boisterous lives, and will focus on the family’s bond. Seo Kang-joon’s character is a bit confusing — he’s either the lead’s bestie, rival, or both, and it appears he may get caught up in a love triangle with Park Hyung-shik and Nam Ji-hyun from a little plot we know. A source at KBS was quick to caution that there is still a lot of time left before production begins,...

Jung Il Woo Confirms Gold Rainbow

A good news is when Jung Il Woo headlining a new drama. But to find out it will be a long weekend drama is pretty frustrated. At least for me. I've never been a fan for a 50 or more long episodes kind of drama. The last thing I had is Ojakkyo Brothers. Another good thing is we got Uee as a heroine, and she did great in Ojakkyo. Pairing with Il Woo could be promising. This series tilled by May Queen Pictures and we're certainly hope this one will not as boooored as May Queen. Uee stars as one of the seven orphans who band together as a family with Kim Sam Joong as their surrogate father.

Fresh names and even so many youngster I completely just knew arises. It's a good thing though. And by fresh, I mean not just physically, cause some of them are competent in dramaland. The writer is Kim Eun Seok, the person behind Gentleman's Dignity and Secret Garden. See? It should be hit. Please be it. As clearly as the title, Heirs revolves around super wealthy youth whom someday will inherit the riches. Yes, there'll be many chaebol....
