Even though the two male leads of SBS sageuk drama Jackpot (Daebak) are exactly 10 years apart, with Jang Geun Seok born in 1987 and Yeo Jin Gu in 1997, I have a good feeling the age gap won’t be a distraction onscreen when they play rivals. The production released two official drama posters each featuring the up close face of the male leads – Jang Geun Seok is seriously channeling his character in Hong Gil Dong and I’m not saying this just because both are sageuk roles, while Yeo Jin Gu looks like he could now be playing the adult version of the childhood character role he did so memorably in The Moon Embraces the Sun. The production touted this as the Joseon version of revenge gambling drama All In, and if that’s really true then both male leads need to hold their own to really sell the constant one ups-manship. I’m liking the intensity from both in the previews, especially in the contrasting looks where Jang Geun Seok is the pretty flower boy while Yeo Jin Gu channels the manly rugged features.
Yeo Jin Gu!! Looking so FINE!! 😀
So excited for Jang Geun Suk’s comeback! I hope the drama lives up to its title.
Yeo Jin Gu is going to out act him.
I hate to say it…but I agree.
It’s good that Jang Keun Suk back to act in a serious drama and with all the excellent cast. It’s a good experience for Yeo Jin Gu too to learn from all the senior cast in the said drama even though I heard he has a natural talent for acting. A successful drama is a team work and a little bit of luck. I wish good luck for both of them and not forgetting all the cast and crew.
Yeo Jin Gu is going to be big one day. there’s no argument about talent wise.. he can pulled off almost any character given
i hope this will click, for JGS sake.
yeo jin goo looks so hot here
