This drama just went from promising to potential hot mess with one casting, but then again she might surprise most everyone out there. Jin Se Yeon has just been cast in the titular lead role in acclaimed sageuk PD Lee Byung Hoon‘s 2016 weekend drama Prison Flower. This is the drama that would reunite Lee Byung Hoon, who directed Dae Jang Geum, Yi San, Dong Yi, and Horse Doctor, with the screenwriter Choi Wan Kyu who wrote All In, Jumong, Kingdom of the Wind, Swallow the Sun, and Triangle. Joining Jin Se Yeon will be veteran leading man Go Soo who hardly does any dramas these days. This will mark his drama return after Empire of Gold in 2013, but before that it was Will it Snow in Christmas way back in 2009. Prison Flower is slated for 50-episode and will air on MBC next year taking over for My Daughter Geum Sa Wol.
Prison Flower is a Joseon era sageuk and tells the life story of the leading lady, who was born in a prison cell. She grows up to fight for the downtrodden who come to the capital to seek justice.The drama will start filming in February of 2016.

Unlike most, I have no problem with JSY and I even thought she was super cute in the first teasers of that web-drama romcom she did. But it seems her agency is her biggest anti, they KNOW what the general opinion about her acting is, so putting her in these high profile projects it's just asking for trouble. Why not have her do light rom-coms, weekend and/or high school dramas? She'd get to show off her charms and maybe endear herself to the public.
I agree with you. She's neither the best actress nor the worst, but being in so many high profile projects that ended up being mediocre (like Dr. Stranger) has not helped. I think when she is cast appropriately (Gaksital) she is perfectly acceptable. However, she has pretty much been miscast since Gakshital.
Even in Gaksital, she was not perfectly acceptable. Her agency should know her limit. Watching her in High End Crush, she is cute in light weight roles.
She's ambitious. When will the Chinese call for her?
The Chinese already did. She is in a Korean-Chinese webdrama with Jung Il-Woo: High-End Crush
Why is she so popular?
She is not popular, lol
Even knetz say that she just has big sponsor for landing those important roles
Yes and then she accused the knets who spread that rumor. Fortunetly she still have nice heart and forgive them.
I thought the PD and writer have good reason to choose her. Rememberwhen Han Hyo Joo cast in Dong Yi. Theres so much negative comment. Most of them think that HHJ didnt fit in saeguk, because her performed in Illjimae not too good, but you all can see that shes bright in that dramas and the gap age between HHJ and JJH doesnt mention anymore.
She ever do saeguk MBC before and she looks good, so maybe that the reason why MBC still have faith to her.
Ugh this drama is so taylor made for Han Hyo joo it's too bad she doesn't do dramas for years. also she already did Dong Yi with the same PD and that could mark her big comeback along with co-starring with GS who she already did movie with (they were nice together).
So if she really confirmed i'll pass. not gonna sit through her 50 episodes. had enough with gaksital . sorry for GS since i heard he's one of the bast.
Yeah it would be nice to see GS & HHJ partnership in this drama.
But JSY?! Sorry, I am getting out.
I miss HHJ too. It has been almost 6 years that I didn't see her in dramas.
Maybe she is possibly for moon lovers?
I hope so. and thinking about it, it will be interesting to see her paired again with LJK after 8 years and see if this time they will have chemistry lol (of course she has improved so much since that time)
but i don't think she'll take that drama, she's kinda big star now in big screen and judging from the cast i don't think i want to see her there..
This girl is so lucky. And now, with Go Soo!
Now I want to know who will be the antagonist.I still have a bitter feeling on this, I just hope she will not be drowned because of the other amazing casts.
Hoping for the best but meh, don't know if I'll watch this one.
Personally, I do not think she is a lead material. But I'll be glad to see Go Soo again, and the PD team. I would have preferred a stronger actress, esp. for a 50 episode sageuk.
JSY, along with Han Ji Min, are the most active Korean celebs with social activities in emerging countries in Asia and Africa. Please respect her, don't talk only about her bad acting.
She is likeable as a person, and she has a pretty face. But it is known fact her acting is bad. Bad actress does not imply her as a bad person. No one talks about her bad attitude, mostly because of the acting. (But yes there are some ppl who go extreme by accusing her sleep with powerful man etc, I can never brain this. As much as I hate anyone, I won't accuse for things that are not the truth).
Her agency should play important role here. Rather than putting her in big scale project , find a suitable role that can make her shine. With a right role, she may properly become an actress.
One of the good example, Kim Tae Hee.
Yup, agree with you..bad acting doesn't mean bad personality, attitude, etc. Who doesn't like a person who loves to help people? We don't know her except from her acting on screen. So as viewers, I think fair enough to judge her acting. But saying that She sleeps with powerful man is just a disgusting words. We have no right to say those words.
Go Soo! OMG~ He is finally back in Kdrama land. He is just so handsome and edgy.
Err, is this casting 100% confirmed? I mean, since laat I heard is MBC denied and stated that it is still uncertain. But from her side, it said confirmed. Same think happened (where her agency released a statement but was refuted by the network last time but I forgot for which drama.
