Whenever I hear of projects courting actress-idol Suzy I’m always impressed that her mostly limited acting range still gets her so many top tier offers. Case in point, she was reportedly offered the leading lady role for upcoming Joseon era zombie movie Outbreak (Rampant), which has on deck two A-list leading men in Hyun Bin and Jang Dong Gun. This zombies in Joseon take has the hitmaking potential of Train to Busan stamped all over it so perhaps not having Suzy onboard is better for quality sakes but she would have aided in generating buzz with her name recognition. As such her agency JYP says she turned it down due to scheduling conflicts and is looking at other projects. Filming is now complete for SBS drama While You Were Sleeping with Lee Jong Seok which premieres in early fall 2017.

You read my thoughts exactly. :P
+1000 :D
The simplest, get right to the point comment ever!
I'm so thankful that she rejected this ...hooray hooray
It's a lie that she only turned it down because of busy schedule.JYP or Suzy herself could already forsee the negative public backlash she was going to go through with this. Thanks Suzy for turning this down.Can she also start rejecting drama offers now?
Glad to heart this yep
Koala's leniency towards Suzy is reaching to the level of rediculseness.

Hmm, I'm a little apprehensive. Somehow it just feels like this movie is chasing Train to Busan but changing it juuuuust enough to say they are not chasing it. Regardless, with these stars it feels like an automatic hit.
Also, are Hyun Bin and Jang Dong-gun still besties? Will the real life bromance translate to the screen? Hopefully!
First offer was to Seolhyun fromAOA though, makes you wonder what kind of character the lead is.
What is wrong with the the people in charge of casting? Have they lost their minds?! I'm guessing they will keep up with the trend of casting idols then...yikes.
It's really sad that theyre selecting idol actresses when there are plenty of young actresses out there who are really talented and deserves this kind of role.
I like Suzy as a person and she's gorgeous, but man...acting is just not for her. I want to like her, but she's been underwhelming in all her roles. I applaud her for trying though. But, I think if she's really serious about acting, she really needs to take a break and practice some more before accepting any more offers.
I honestly don't think she likes acting at all. It really seems to be something she does only because, like someone said, an 'actress image' fetches higher endorsement fees than being an idol.
