Popular C-novel Silent Separation Getting K-drama Remake Along the Lines of C-drama My Sunshine

This is a project I’ve been expecting Korea to remake, and now the watch is on as rumors have started that popular Chinese novel Silent Separation will for sure be getting a K-drama adaptation. The Chinese market has already adapted to novel twice – the first time into the C-drama My Sunshine with Wallace Chung and Tang Yan, and subsequently into the movie You Are My Sunshine with Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi. I really enjoyed the C-drama even if it was a whole lot of minor angst stretched out into 40 episodes. Wallace made it all watchable while Tang Tang was just serviceable enough to carry her side of the load.

The story is about a pair of college lovers who are separated due to circumstances and misunderstandings, with each carrying a torch for the other which reignites again when they are reunited years later. The rumors claim the drama will air on MBC and star Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye, with the second leads being Krystal of f(x) and Jo In Sung. At this point the former is highly likely, while the latter will happen when pigs fly LOL. I’m sure the rumored casting choices are just wishful thinking, but it does get me excited about who could possibly play the charismatic and broody male lead He Yi Chen. Wallace was basically perfect casting in looks and acting aura, he’s going to be a high bar to match up to.

  • Oh boy...... knowing K-dramas, they'll add unnecessary drama into the story..... Birth secret, illness, and more misunderstandings.... Oh no...

    And I loved how the C-drama didn't give the couple too much misunderstanding except for the breakup.... I loved how understanding Wallace's character became after... He didn't believe the ex and the couple became happy and worked together to be happy....

    Oh man, oh man....

  • Jo In Sung as second lead to Lee Jong Seok??? LMFAO, that makes the whole casting rumor a load of bullshit. I'll wait for the real deal before caring.

    • I wonder who dreamed that up. Jo In Sung as second lead to LJS indeed...... I like LJS but I can recognise delusion when I see it.

  • why would they cast PSH and LJS so soon together after they've just headlined a drama together? i may be in the minority here but i am not a fan of re-pairing actors and actresses up so quickly. i like variety in my dramas and being pleasantly surprised by leads with sizzling (even better when it's unexpected) chemistry.

    • It was ok for Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum to do back to back dramas and both dramas were good

      but here there is no way LJS/PSH will do another drama together right after their dating rumours.

  • Another remake of some of my fave cdrama to kdramas. Urghh. Still getting migraine after the disappointing remake of In Time with you. They buthcered a perfectly good drama....

    And Jo In Sung as 2nd lead, not-bloody-likely! He will most likely play He yichen than be 2nd lead. But if they are gunning for same aura as Wallace Chung I pretty much can see Lee JungJae or his bestie Jung WooSung for that role. But I am crossing my fingers for Gong Yoo for casting, cause he really needs to come back to dramaland...
    and as for mosheng, i wish Jung Yumi for the role or yoon eunhye. They would be perfect for the role. If not them, then maybe hong soohyun or sohn yejin.

    Anyway I hope they get teenage actors to play the younger counter parts as opposed to getting just same actors playing themselves. And for kwak siyang and joo dayoung comes to mind for roles in college days...

    • I'd rather have Jo In Sung and Park Shin Hye lol...he can pull off the angst well..he won't even be offered this role I guess..
      Though I'd love to see Krystal again on screen.Loved her on heirs.

    • I think in time with you went wrong with the casting...I watched the original version and the guy was so much better...also the way he portrays his emotions ..it made sense why he held back..while lee jin wook was kind of unattainable/could not get behind that wall that his face is..expressionless kind of.Also it could be the problem of the writing.

      • It is mostly the writing. While i still think bolin chen is a better actor than lee jin wook, i still think LJW would have been able to do the role well, his acting chops in Nine and INR2 can attest that he can act.
        The major flaw was the change is story and character, and for me that sole points rest solely on the writers. They made HJW's character childish, strong and non-modern female as opposed to the taiwan version. While they made LJW's character as solely lacking drive and depth as opposed to how DaRen was. It was a pain to watch, the korean version. And as much as i love HJW, i could not take how irritating she was making her character out to be. Dropped it at episode 4 and picked up at episode 15 to see how they will get the besties together. And man it was still disappointing beyond belief. It did not have the same emotional punch as the Taiwan version. So yup the writing sucked. Big time!!!

  • If Cha Taehyun can play second lead to Kim Soohyun, Kim Raewon to Lee Minho, then why not Jo Insung to Lee Jongsuk?

    • Jo in sung is very big star and one of nation's most handsome men, not like CTH and KRW. LJS is nowhere near JIS. I know it is just rumour.

      • And both of the aforementioned actors had meaty roles - not your typical nice guy second lead. The thought of Jo In Sung playing second fiddle to Lee Jong Suk is the funniest thing I've read on the internet all year.

    • .....child, do you even know how huge a star Jo In Sung is? Because then you would know why the notion is so preposterous.

    • Jesus Christ! What an attitude! Is that what we should expect from now on? Think again and more carefully please! CTH was far from second lead in Producers ( the writer just fooled tne young and the naive, that's all) and KRW did all the acting in LMH's first movie (and that's why he was there, imo)
      But JIS is super-star in both acting and looks and has lasted through time. New fans should learn how to behave. This comment is so rude and at the same time uber ignorant. You didn't even think it through before posting it, right? :-(

  • I like the drama though one of major drawback everytime i watched Cdramas was they never clarified problems/clear the misunderstandings. Do we have to assume they explain things but just behind the scene or something. I meant about the kids and why she got married, did he finally understand the reason why? or he just dont want to listen to her and accept it no matter what? I know there's one time when they finally talked but i dont think they talked about his first marriage. There's many cdramas i've watched that skip stuff like explanation unlike kdramas. Do we have just to assumed they cleared the misunderstanding or they just accept each other even though they still have misunderstanding?

  • Lol, this casting rumour is so funny. How can they call JIS as LJS's second lead? And I'm sure that LJS and PSH can't do a drama together again for a while. I heard that JIS is doing a movie called The king. Is it true?

      • They want them in everything and always bash others if they disagree with them ,makes it hard to like them

      • As one of their shipper they don't want their reunite after that saesang article from dispatch cause they know these kind of things affect their relationship badly..... And they are sure both of them never accept to work in another drama or movie toghther at least for a long time!

      • @Shade - considering the number of times I have seen you bash people for liking certain actors' performances or speaking positively of them, that is VERY rich coming from you.

        And judging by what I've seen, even the most ardent LJS/PSH shippers accept that there is no way they'll ever do another acting project in the wake of their dating rumours.
