I love K-drama casting rumors and speculations, so much fun to muse over the possibilities, and also to wonder what happened if it didn’t pan out. Were the rumors off, or did something behind the scenes scuttle the signing. A leaked compilation of upcoming dramas and in discussion leads is making the rounds and generating lots of buzz. No way to know it’s veracity until the newspapers later reporting on official casting offers, but those who like getting early dibs ought to be interested in checking this out.
The four photogenic male leads above are reportedly all coming back with dramas in late 2015/early 2016 so here goes: Lee Min Ho may be in talks for the revived drama adaptation of webtoon Let’s Have Dinner Together (Will You Have Dinner With Me); upcoming 50-episode MBC long drama Tyrant is reportedly courting Joo Won, Lee Jong Seok is considering a C-drama next, and Jang Geun Seok may stick with Japan in his drama return by doing a web drama called Boyfriend. Whew, this is a lot to digest even on possibility alone.
Joo Won aside, since he just finished Yongpal, the other three guys are due for a drama land comeback, especially Jang Geuk Seok who has been missing from television the longest. These casting possibilities are also quite plausible – Lee Min Ho doing a rom-com feels like the safest choice before he enlists in the military, Joo Won doing an intense period long drama is a big challenge in his growing resume, Lee Jong Seok may strike while the China iron is hot and follow many of his colleagues over there to do a C-drama, and it was always a long shot for Jang Geun Seok to do a K-drama since he’s still not as loved domestically as he is in Japan.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…

Ockoala, Jang Keun Suk may surprise you! :)
I think JGS is definitely coming back to dramas/movies in Korea. He has been reading scripts recently and I doubt it's just for a web drama. Most likely he'd want to do something Korean too before enlisting; which he started by holding a concert in Seoul recently. I'm really only excited for LMH and his return and I hope they are both cast in good dramas.
Omo my jang geun suk !! The hell he'll do a web drama ...no way just wait and see kola he'll come back strong .. i miss him so much
I dont really care about the 4 others kkkk
I think Lee Minho and the k-drama(Will You Have Dinner With Me) could work. And Joo Won is currently in the middle of filming a C-drama, but if it doesn't clash with his schedule, I can see him doing 'Tyrant' right before going to the military. But, yeah, I agree with Rand that I doubt Jang Geun Suk would do a web drama. I think Jang Geun Suk is still 'big enough' to get a k-drama lead role. For some reason, it seems doubtful that LJS will do a C-drama, because he's hot enough in korea and he's not going to the military anytime soon where he needs the extra income.
Jang Geun Seok should stay away from role that portray him as a vain, pretty face. Korean love a humble man and he need to act in drama that showcase his acting skills. I love his older dramas and movies, but not a fan of his last drama.
I wonder where you get this news from.Joo Won has in fact,started filming Chinese drama already.Not sure he will do the MBC drama or not.Not in anytime soon.He might come back to K-land by early 2016 through..
JGS should do a full fledged drama,not a web drama.Wasn't there news about him doing a kdrama soon?
Yes he will do a korean comback this is old news
yes, new of miss koalas is only rumor, joo won never choose 50ep drama.
i prefer reading in dramabeans, soompi...
Just by the title itself "Tyrant" there is a big possibility that Joo Won might consider it, besides he likes to challenge different roles...btw, Ojakgyo Brothers has 48 episodes
yes, new of miss koalas is only rumor, joo won never choose 50ep drama.
i prefer reading in dramabeans, soompi... and writer of Will you have dinner with me Go yoon hee drop it and write contract marriaged
Uh...Koala prefaced this post by saying this was all rumor, so take it for what it's worth. Why do you have to bring dramabeans, who waits until everything is inked, or soompi, that focuses on fan reactions, into this discussion? Every site brings something a little different to the table, so I think we are lucky to have the variety of sites that we do for drama news. Koala is being honest about rumors, so perhaps you should be honest about your biases as well. I just don't get the smear posts about koala lately.
I agree about the dissing comments lately.
Don't read her posts just to leave negative comments or just take a CHILL PILL
joo won already doing intense period drama bridal mask/ gaksital, i like him but for tyrant i think it need older actor, my choice will be joo jin mo
I agree
+3.
+4
+5
6+
+1
Well i hope the news about joo won not true. 50 ep. drama is too long and he needs to rest after the tiring yongpal and he filmed a film not too long ago. if it ever will happen i hope he'll get a normal female lead, not noona and not some rookie actress who is pretty (ahm gaksital).
about lee jong suk. i thought he'll probably do page turner? it will be waste if he dissappear to china..
JGS really needs a korean comeback and yeah better to be some complicated role which gain the netizens love.
lastly. LMH..i wouldn't object to him doing a light rom-com. he didn't do a one for ages (i don't consider heirs) and personal taste was very nice one.
Is there any rumor that LJS will do page turner or it is just a guess???
A rumors since the writer is the same who wrote IHYV and Pinocchio so probably he will offered the main role. but it is not sure.
Pearl286@ thank u so much for ur reply.
