The likely first confirmed casualty of the Chinese government unofficial crackdown on K-ent in terms of drama and star appearances is Yoo In Na. Except I don’t think she’s terribly hard pressed considering where she landed afterwards. Yoo In Na has reportedly been dropped as the female lead in the upcoming Chinese-Korean joint production C-drama Shuttle Love Millennium, the sorta sequel to Love Through the Millennium with Zheng Shuang and Jin Bo Ran, which was itself the C-version of time-traveling K-drama Queen In Hyun’s Man.
Yoo In Na’s casting as the C-version sequel felt like a cute deja vu and a nice way for her to branch into C-ent, except for the timing. Despite shooting the drama promo poster (above), news broke this week that Yoo In Na’s role will now be played by TW-actress Puff Guo. On the flip side, Yoo In Na is heading into production for the Kim Eun Sook fantasy drama Goblin with Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and Kim Go Eun. I think she’ll be just fine, other than a bit of bruised ego over sovereign sparring she has no control over.
Shuttle Love Millennium will now star Wei Da Xun, Wen Yong Shan, Li Zhi Feng, and Puff Guo. Time to reshoot the cast posters stat, which is has time to do as the drama now may be pushed back from its 2016 airing into early 2017.
I’m sorry for Yoo In Na but I’m really happy for Puff! I’m so excited that she is going to be the lead in a drama! Yay!
Loved her and Aaron Yan in Just You but haven’t watched Pleasantly Surprised. Can anyone advise if Pleasantly Surprised is worth the watch?
I stopped watching PS half way. Love the cast but not with the story. Boring. Sorry not sorry but hey, preference. You should give it a try, who knows you’ll love it 😀
But yay, she’s been out from entertainment for more than a year. She’s no where in 2015-half 2016. Happy for her. Fighting Puff!
I think it depends, I love love love pleasently surprised. It was so cute and fluffy and I loved the main lead (puff guo) ‘s character, the story became stupid towards the end but I’ll just close one eye
PS was very boring to me from the get go. But that’s my personal preference. I don’t like slow paced drama even chemistry between the cast is good.
Thanks everyone! I’ll put it on my list of “maybe” dramas if I have time. Haha. This new drama sounds more exciting though so I may just wait for this to be out to see Puff again ?
I feel sad for Yoo In Na she already started to shoot this drama and stayed in shanghai all her effort and work gone to drain and waste but its ok this drama Shuttle Love Millennium is not for her due to politics conflict of China anyway its a remake of her drama Queen In Hyun’s Man she is still the original one. She will have more better drama in Korea than in China. Hopefully her incoming drama Goblins will be a hits like Descendant of the sun its the same writer.
yes, it’s worth to watch..just give it a try and i’m sure you’ll like it too
In a way, I guess this is good news for both of them. I always prefer Korean actors & actresses not to act in Chinese dramas anyway because of the dubbing which somehow makes their speech look/sound awkward and it kind of distracts me when I’m watching.
And I really love that qipao, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Give Pleasantly Surprised a shot. While it was slow, I enjoyed it as a filler drama. Glad to see Puff Guo finally back in action. I never did finish LTtM, but I guess there’s still time.
Finally we get to see Puff again!! Super excited
Yay for Puff! Adore her. Talented and pretty. Yahoo!
sorry but puff is second role??!!
Is puff the first or second female lead?
Excited to see Puff back in a Drama, hope it goes well for her
I FEEL SAD FOR YOO IN NA BECAUSE OF POLITICS CONFLICT SHE IS FORCE TO STEP DOWN TO A DRAMA SHE ALREADY STARTED TO SHOOT. SHE IS VERY TALENTED ACTRESS SHE WILL DO BETTER IN DRAMA GOBLINS GODLESS HER INCOMING DRAMA HOPE IT WILL BE A HITS. THE WRITER OF GOBLINS IS VERY POPULAR WRITER KIM EUN SOOK SHE WROTE THE POPULAR DRAMA LOVERS IN PARIS, SECRET GARDEN, AND DESCENDANT OF THE SUN.
I like this drama. I am fond of watching fantasy drama which include this kind of stories. With regards to Yoo Inna, I dont like her ever since she broke up with her elading man in Quuen Inyungs Man.
