There apparently an either/or situation brewing behind the casting scenes for upcoming KBS drama Third Rate My Way. Right after news came out that Chun Woo Hee was in talks for the drama leading lady role, marking her first prime time leading drama appearance as she’s been active only in movies these past years, now comes the followup news that Kim Ji Won is also considering the same role. I hope this tactic doesn’t backfire on KBS and both ladies end up bailing on the drama. Kim Ji Won hit it big last year with Descendants of the Sun even playing just the second female lead so it’s no surprise that she’s being courted for leading lady roles. I like her a lot but so far it’s 0-1 in terms of DotS alums next acting projects with Jin Goo‘s post DotS drama Night Light being a ratings dud.
If either leading lady accepts I’m cool with that, and the leading man in discussion for this drama remains Park Seo Joon as far as I’m aware. I can see the drama getting more youth buzz if Kim Ji Won is cast but movie award winning Chun Woo Hee has her own brand of charisma and charm that would be a breath of fresh air to see on TV.
She reminds me of the actress that played Blair Waldorf on Gossip girl.
lol how?
She just has that classy mean girl that you can’t hate feel to her. The sophisticated, chic, sharp mouth/wittiness mixed with vulnerabilities her character on DoTS had just gives me those vibes.
Her and Kim Woo Bin’s characters in Heirs gave me strong Blair – Chuck vibes and yes I am bummed that this ship never sails and their talents are wasted.
I was on that shop too…I was hoping he wouldn’t fall for Park Shin Hye or get over her and go for Rachel.
Hahaha now that you mention it… I see it
She has that Waldorf pout.
I suppose its on the angle of her face in the top photo. Leighton Meester features can be seen somewhat.
And also the fact that she played a Blair-esque role in The Heirs.
Both sound reject offer.
