Kim Rae Won is the Lead for Thousand Day Promise with Su Ae

Kim! Rae! Won! *incoherent screaming* The man with the million-watt smile is getting released from military service in early August, and I knew he’d be a hot commodity. What I didn’t know was exactly how hot – Kim Rae Won has been just confirmed as the male lead for the upcoming Kim Soo Hyun-penned weekday melodrama. Formerly called Forget Me Not, it’s title has apparently changed to Thousand Day Promise, and the female lead was confirmed two weeks ago as Su Ae. This was the drama that was in talks with Song Seung Heon, but my Heon oppa’s asking price was just too high so it was a no go (me sad), but I cannot wait to see Kim Rae Won back onscreen.

Kim Rae Won’s last drama was Gourmet back in 2008 with Nam Sang Mi. I liked it but didn’t love it. To be honest, I like Kim Rae Won way more than I have ever liked any of his projects. Hopefully that’ll change with him taking on a Kim Soo Hyun drama. He’s totally perfect for melodramas, don’t you guys agree? I hope he has great chemistry with Su Ae.

Kim Rae Won said he thought long and hard before accepting this drama, centering around a man’s deep love for a woman. He promises to show that love to the audience and touch their hearts. Thousand Day Promise will air on Mon-Tues on SBS after Warrior Baek Dong Soo on September 26, 2011.

    • I believe that was Love Story in Harvard with Kim Tae Hee...then there was Which Star Are You From....loved him in both dramas. This is a great news indeed! =)

  • OH MY GOD YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

    Kim Rae Won is definitely one of those actors almost every woman loves. He has this natural charm and charisma that simply exudes out of him in just about everything he does so I'm soooo excited for this. He tends to have good chemistry with his co-stars so I'm looking forward to seeing him and Su Ae together. xD

  • Sort of raised my eyebrow at the reason that SSH didn't take on this drama was because his asking price was too high. The man may be good-looking, but his acting still has a long ways to go, and it might have been a good move to take this drama, even it meant taking a pay cut, just so he could stretch his acting wings. Then again, I guess this means we can now look forward to a drama with excellent acting from both leads, yes?

    • That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Given that rom coms seem to be his forte and melodramas aren't this is probably for the best.

    • you're right, because if ssh only looked over the money part, he'll make it all back especially with a drama like that. I've learned that in the past there'll be times that you'll have to take that step back, but in the end, you'll be so much ahead of the game in more ways than one, won't see it right away but it'll be there. ssh may regret it, krw will be much remembered for a long time, his film record will reflect that. so i'm glad that he signed the deal for this drama, would love to see him, will cheer him on, good move.

  • O-MO-NA! (big squeal)
    I love KRW to death. I've been wondering when he'll be returning because it seems he's been in the military forever.

    i cannot wait to see this. I don't like to watch melodramas, but for him, I definitely will.

    thanks for this.
