Kang Ji Hwan, one of the few K-stars I have made a valient effort to be a completist of his works because I adore him so much, is currently burning up the small screen with Yoon Eun Hye in Lie to Me. The drama doesn’t wrap until the end of June, but Ji Hwan has already lined up his next project.
He’s headed back to Chungmuro and doing a movie which starts filming in August. It’s called Tomorrow’s News, and is based on a popular manhwa about a pair of siblings who find a radio that can report tomorrow’s news. The siblings initially find the magical radio entertaining, but gradually begin to want to change the future.
The movie will modernize the original manhwa setting from the 80s to today. Rumor has it that his leading lady will be someone who starred in a Spring drama, which pretty much means a handful of potential co-stars. I’m so obsessed with his Hyun Ki Joon right now I can barely imagine him playing another character, especially acting opposite a leading lady that is not Eun Hye.
Nevertheless, I’m thrilled at his busy schedule since his contract dispute really stalled his projects for the past 2 years. You know, if Faith keeps getting delayed, Ji Hwan can end up doing the drama again. Though what would be most amusing is if Faith gets delayed so long its original star Lee Junki gets out of the military and returns to the drama he had to drop out when the army poached him from us all.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…
Oh what a great surprise! This drama was announced two years ago and I've long…

I hope he's taking Yoon Eun Hye with him. At least her number. But sanely speaking: sounds cool. Good for him!!
Ji Hwan puts Eun Hye in his pocket wherever he goes from now on. He's taking yet another cue from Samshik - you are so cute like Thumbelina, I want to put you in my pocket and take you with me......
I can Live with that. After all Samshik is definitely a man who goes for what he wants.
OH Em Gee, it literally freaks me out how much im shipping for YEH and KJH. Then I take back my shipping because of what I went through with Ariel and Joe. Tsk tsk, they rained cold hard logic on me! They ruined my shippy heart with their logical reason in the game of love.
I really hope it's with YEH too. plleeeeaaaassseeee!!!!! That would be amazing.
wait, the story talks abt two siblings here.
You can see that Ji Hwan and Eun Hye get along great offscreen but with the case of Joe and Ariel although I think they are a great couple in ISWAK, in reality/offscreen, I don't think they were compatible. Even in interviews you could see that their personalities didn't match. But with Jiwan and Eun Hye even their interviews are hot!!!
Heeeee! KJH news is always welcome! :)
And lol, imagine if Lee Jun-ki comes back and he can really do Faith again? That would be hilarious but idk, I'm so happy about KJH atm that the more project he is in, the happier I am. Even if I do like LJK a lot.
Did you know Ji Hwan and Kim Hee Sun filmed some promos for Faith with the director. It looked AWESOME.
I can't play favorites between Junki and Ji Hwan, no no no, refuse. Junki got the lead before he was taken to the gulag for 2 years, so if he can do it again that would be good karma. But I want, need, nay, am dying for Ji Hwan in another sageuk. I prefer Junki in modern fare.
I did! I even watched it! Iirc I even saw a few stills with Lee Philip as well? Er, I might be mixing up things now. XD
It's been so long so he started his MS. He's going to be out soon, yeah? Awesome! But yeah, I'm in full KJH fever so atm I think I'm a liiiiiiiiiiiittle more biased in his favor. *hides* What can I say, I'm fickle!
This movie won't require him dancing right?? Yaayyy to his new project n him not dancing...
*I adore him oh-so-very-much, but my heart can't take it when I see him dancing tho'.
Leading lady? YEH I hope... Let them burn the big screen as well.. /winks
Mhahahaha!!! He doesn't dance!! We know that!! He only shake his hips, a little!!! LOL
lolz... agree with u.. also hope he dun dance.. coz its freakin my nerves when he shake his bon2.. i dun like it dowh... All his charismatics gone by second..
. ngahahaha..
Rarely do I EVER say, hope or wish that an on screen pairing be together in real life. It is 99.9% never true and certainly the reality of the "very rare" pairing, if it happens, is never going to end up like a drama.... (coughhyunbin&songhyegocough)
But Damn those two would be pretty together wouldn't they? Bummer that they probably will never be.
so glad another project is coming from him ~ Kang Ji Hwan...I'd watch you in anything! Loved him in Rough Cut.
Thanks Koala for keeping us updated on Ji Hwan! Alway love to hear about this sweetie! Keep up the great work!
i love his eyes =D
Haha though I like their pairing but Kang Ji Hwan with someone makes me run back to my mom and cry (I didn't even cry on my last guy). But since they said love unselfishly I am wiling to share him to someone who loves him..lol
Good for him!
He became my favorite actor after LTM.
I couldn't not picture him with anyone except YEH, but life must go on....
Miss Koala Unni, you keep feeding the masses!! LOL, the Lie To Me Anonymous, are getting stronger everyday, not in a rehab kind of way. Which is ironic, because, we as junkies need to get the drug addiction out of our systems. But, at the same time, LTM is an addiction that we all not willing to let go!!!! Oh crap, this is gonna get ugly!!
Why am I here? OMG the LTMA 12 steps program strikes again!!! I'm hopeless>>> there I admit it.
KHJ>>>> beware my eyes are on you (add very big owl eyes here) if you so flirt with your new gurl in that movie like you did with YEH you will get it >>> BIGTIME!
Mhahahaha!!! This Unnis are fearsome!!! LOL
