It appears the drama adaptation of webtoon Will You Have Dinner with Me (Let’s Have Dinner Together) is completely dead in the water, first losing the time slot at SBS to upcoming drama Yongpal, and later losing leading lady Shin Mina to rival network KBS with the drama Oh My God costarring So Ji Sub. The drama to follow Yongpal was earlier reported to be 32-episode Blooming in Tears, from the writer of hit weekend makjang dramas Wang’s Family, Live in Style, and Three Brothers. Now there is a new contender in the running for the post-Yongpal time slot and it’s a plausible rival to land the airing.
Lee Kim Productions, most notable in recent years for producing dramas and then having a hard time paying its cast and crew, is working on the drama adaptation of old school manhwa Goodbye Mr. Black. The short synopsis is that the male lead gets betrayed by his beloved and best friend and exiled to Australia. He eventually escapes to England and plots his revenge after becoming rich. Did the author of this manhwa lift the Count of Monte Cristo and expect no one to realize it? I’m assuming there are significant differences but it’s clearly a revenge story of a wrongly imprisoned man, and lordy are those intense on the pathos and hard to do right.
Aside from the source material being the manhwa Goodbye Mr. Black, the drama adaptation will be directed by the PD of Birth of a Beauty, and writing will be the screenwriter of Glorious Day, Missing You, and Can You Hear My Heart.
This one sounds really good for an adaptation. But I doubt the script writer and PD.
Sounds like a show for Kim Nam Gil…… hehe
good choice. revenge is his food now. lols.. but since the production house has problems in paying its cast and crew, i doubt senior actor will take this role. maybe the newbie will. who knows. 😀
Kim Nam Gil Died Enough I want Him In Romance Comedy Drama Now
i like the synonsis,but sadly,i dont like the PD
The writer of “Glorious Day,” “Can you Hear My Heart” for sure catches my attention. But PD of “Birth of a Beauty” – not really exciting to me.
I love Lee Jin Wook but maybe.. LEE JOON GI can make this drama work.. I dunno. I’m just shocked to read this news.
