Jo Jung Seok and IU Reportedly in Talks for Weekend Drama The Best Lee Soon Shin
The preliminary 2013 K-drama lists are out from the broadcast networks, with some dramas and castings confirmed and others toggling around from earlier rumors. For example, the period drama Flower and Sword that was rumored to be courting Kim Nam Gil has now switched over to courting Song Seung Heon. Oh boy to that one. The current KBS weekend drama My Daughter Seo Young with Lee Bo Young is doing solid ratings in its time slot and will run for a few more months to wrap up in early April. It’s follow up drama is called The Best Lee Soon Shin and was earlier back in November of 2012 said to be courting Kang Sora and Yoon Sang Hyun for the leads. Now that we’re into 2013, the names that are potentially attached to this drama have spiked my interested whereas before I had none. Jo Jung Seok and IU are said to be in talks as the leads of this weekend drama. It will be set in the entertainment world, with the leading lady a country bumpkin who comes to Seoul and becomes sponsored by a businessman to become a star while the leading man is an already established idol singer. I love this potential pairing so much already, especially since Jo Jung Seok is way overdue for a leading man role, not to mention I already can sense great chemistry between these two talented singer-actors. KBS, make this happen!
The originally rumored pairing of Kang Sora and Yoon Sang Hyun. I couldn’t picture this OTP in a million years. I adore Yoon Sang Hyun but he really shouldn’t be starring with leading ladies as young as Kang Sora. It was already a stretch when he did Take Care of the Young Lady with Yoon Eun Hye. It’s funny how IU was in Dream High while Kang Sora did the unfortunate Dream High 2.

woo this sounds exciting! i liked IU in dream high.....but i dunno...is she good enough for a leading role? lets hope so!
AND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE JO JUNG SEOK! I've been looking forward to see him back on the small screen, i've missed my favourite soldier bot :')
OMG, excuse me Ms Koala while I scream. * screams *
Now who would care ? Jomo,leah,Gaeina Can I tell you? I can, please?
As a drama viewer if this happens I would DIE from happiness. Everyone knows I am so in love with Jo Jung Seok. It's always best to work on dramas you love as you spend so many countless hours per episode including watching it at least 3-4 times.
Anyway since I am channel managing CDDA. Then I am on for Incarnation of money ( which has FINALLY confirmed Kang Ji Hwan ) then to have the manager I volunteer with for the last 2 years have this viki channel? I am ecstatic. Feb- Kang Ji Hwan. March- Golden Empire which has The Chaser PD/ writing team.April- Jo Jung Seok?
Me am a really happy contented drama fan now. Yippee doodah.:-)
Just give me a Hyun Bin and Lee Dong Wook drama in 2013 and I pretty much have no more wishes drama-wise this year.
Sorry everyone to go off into a tailspin for this. You can tell I am so excited. :-)
LOL!
I do understand and I hope you HB or LDW dreams come true!
Leah here, ck.
As soon as I saw Jo Jung Seok's name on the title, immediately thought of you. HAHA! You and your Eun Shi Yung feels. :)
Lol.Yeah you got my pm?You in?
Something about IU from Dream High really reminded me of Nam Gyu Ri.... I don't know if it's the acting or the way she spoke but she really reminds me of her...
Interesting pairing! Looking forward to this if it works out.
I've been seeing Sword and Flower over twitter but haven't found any article about it yet. Hmmm. Curious.
Jo Jung Seok....yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy :D
Oh the horror! SSH will be allowed to destroy another period drama as he destroyed JIN (its not all his fault but I blame him for his he chose to depict his character). Its beats me how he still gets roles when he has zero or very little acting ability.
I am excited for JJS! I wonder what tiein it will have the famous admiral YinSoon Shin.
*Yi Soon Shin
Seriously! I can get 1 mistake, but twice the same in a row? No. Please people, give work to people who can act. SSH can be just decent in rom-coms but if he does another sageuk, I'm going to start disliking him.
i wish they confirm those actors.
iu and jo jung seok here you come
,hmm, am I the only one wishing that they'd swap IU with Kang Sora instead?
I do!
Kang Sora can't really sing which is needed for the role.
no, you're not the only one. I'd consider it if it was Kang Sora. I like IU as a singer, but I just prefer seeing Kang Sora on screen :)
Oh wow, a pairing I did not forsee! But I see some awesome chemistry! :D We're in for a great OST. Jo Jung Seok has an amazing voice that brings chills to your spine. Too bad we didn't really hear it in King 2 Heart but I downloaded all his songs from What's Up. :))
From what I heard Yoon Sang Hyun is starring in I Love You Ahjussi, which is also centers on the entertainment world. He's like the lead of a band of older generation idols rivaling younger idol bands :D I think that's more age appropriate for him.
LOL
