Lee Jun Ki Considering tvN Legal Drama Lawless Lawyer

View Comments

• Happy Valentine's Day❤ Y'all!!!!

  Behold!!!One of the three "Nation's drama actor work horses" dubbed by me lol.The other two being Jang Hyuk and Ji Sung.Whether their projects pann out or not.We can always expect at least a drama or even two per year.That kind of work ethic I respect.To me, it shows that they act because they are passionate about what they do and they enjoy it so much.Not just for fame or money though both are not bad things to want.I can see Park Seo Joon and Yoo Seung Ho inheriting those position well too.

  Two, talking about the topic at hand.Its not a remake or adaptation..Phew!!!Therefore no comparisons with the originals.Its at TVN.Another sigh of relief.SBS makes good legal dramas but that mess with "Return" drama.Its best to stay away for now.

  Three TBDW PD reunion is perfect.That drama was badass and part of the credit goes to the PD for that.Now I wish the writer was the gal who did "two weeks".But anyways, I hope this writer writes an interesting script for ALL the cast.

  I just read Seo Ye Ji is being tapped for the female lead role.I hear she was in OCN drama "Save Me".I am not very familiar with her? is she good?In any case Lee Jun Ki is always welcome on my screen and am keeping my fingers crossed that everything work out fine.

  • Yes. Seo Yeji is good.
    Both haven't confirmed yet, but if they do, I really hope the PD & scriptwriter do them some justice.

  • Seo Ye Ji is good in Save Me, and she is ok in Hwarang. She has a pleasant face, her deep voice won't fair well in a cutesy role... Her voice & style kinda remind me of a younger Soo Ae. I think SYJ will be a good match in a legal drama with LJK :-)

    • Actually her negative role in nightwatchmans journal was really good. I was impressed by her bitch character portrayal there. She overshadowed all the female and male leads in terms of expressions there.she really looked like a obsessed lover. Im looking forward to her acting here

    • Actually she is a good actress her performance in nightwatchmans journal was very good.she actually gave the weibs of a silent and classy but possessive girl. Her bitchy expressions were very impressive. She overshadowed the leads in that drama. Time to get a good lead role girl

    • Ah then thats good.From her character's , I dont think they are aiming for cutesy role.Here is the summary for the female lead character description:

      "If Seo Ye Ji accept the offer, she will portray Hae Jae Yi who lived a "self-directed life" since she was a kindergartner.She becomes a great lawyer who fights for justice but gets demoted after attacking a judge and become a paralegal.Following her demotion, she meets the male character and they get tied together."

      I also read she was offered a supporting role for Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy drama.I wish her all the best with the decision she makes and if they both sign up for this.It will be interesting to see her performance.

    • I hope she will take this lead role over a supporting role for two talentless persons. She will outshine them, but it will be a waste of her time...

  • Soe ye ji is good. Her performance of a classy and obsessed high class lady in night watchman journal was admirable. She overshadowed the leads there. Time to get a good lead role girl

  • I did not like her in "Hwarang" but with a solid PD...she definitely can pull an impressive performance.. I have watched her in "The Throne" where she is good and memorable but it's her performance in "Rescue Me" that blew me away. As a legit LJK's fangirl, I am totally supporting this pairing.

  • These three surely are drama work horses. They even don't care about having a popular female co-star and are ready to suffer from a rating flop. I hope this time it's a good project for Lee Jun Ki. He desreves one after years of hard work. Waiting for announcement of Ji Sung's new drama too. Jang Hyuk is already looking for new work too.

• Finally, a solid pd.

• My Lee Jun Ki possibly teaming up with Seo Ye Ji.... What a lovely Valentine's gift ?.

  She is a good young actress (and pretty too) and I am super impressed by her acting in "Rescue Me".

  I pray to drama gods to please let this be a great drama worthy of his enarmous talent.

  I am super excited and I can't wait for this drama to finally come and meet us.

• Lee Jun ki deserve a rating hit drama and i hope this is it.this PD is encouraging with a solid leading actress,all hé needs now is for mother luck to be On his side.

• PD Kim is good n TBDW is one of LJK's great dramas.

  The writer is the one penning Remember:War of The Sons. I don't quite like his works but still ok and legal theme seems to be his forte.

  Seo Yea Ji is a promising actress and I am all game with her joining LJK.

  Overall and as much as I want him to break free from action genre, I still hope he will take this drama. I can't wait to have him back on my tv screen. LJK is just plain ❤️

• Seo Ye Ji is awesome in Save Me. She is one tough cookie and a promising actress. She is fluent in Spainish too not that it matters for this drama haha.

  I am looking forward to this pairing! Hope both will be confirmed while I can't wait for May to come.

• Wow finally.. his casting news is out. I hope he takes it.. Hope this is much much much better than his last one,of course if he confirmed it.

• He can only accept the drama that was offered to him. He is no longer an actor capable of choosing his own script.
  this character is similar to his old ones which are sad as I expecting a Melo or romcom after that snorefest aka Criminal mind and many of his dramas before that.
  Kdrama already flooded with lawyers and prosecutors and I have dropped so many so probably I'll skip this one as well.

  • I don't think he gets offered only ONE script but maybe they are all of the similar genre. It does seem weird how he has openly said he wanted a romcom, but has been taking up crime/action dramas since then.
    Really hope that this drama will be a huge hit so he gets more opportunities.

    • He said he wants to do rom-com but the script must be good or at least better than My Girl. He said that it is not that he is receiving rom-com but there is always one script that stands out that happens to be not in a rom-com genre. The regular rom-com dramas are good for newer actors anyway because it’s budget is usually not as big as the other genres. If LJG takes up rom-com, we would expect a newbie actress, newbie pd, newbie writer, newbie supporting casts.

      His last two dramas were actually good-Moon Lovers & Criminal Minds. He moved away from typical kdrama while doing these two projects. I look forward to this one.

      There is this one big budget spy drama. I hope he will do that do that too. He is a good fit for that one.

    • Decently budgeted rom-com is very rare. Good rom-com scripts don’t come often too.

  • As much as it hurts to read this (being a LJK fan), I agree that he does not have much choices. Offers mostly extended to younger and current "IT" like PBG, PSJ, PHS. He sure does wants to do rom-com but I think he does not get such offer. As much as I want LJK to do a light hearted drama and stay away from that action hero image (for now), my utmost wish right now is for him to get casted in a quality drama that is worthy of his talent. He is long overdue for a really good drama.

  • To be honest, looking at the quality and ratings performance of melos and rom coms last year.He is really missing out on nothing by not doing one.I mean look at how poorly Manhole, 20 century boy and girl, I am not a robot, secret romance, Tomorrow with You, Chicago Typewriter, Revolutionary Love etc.. did. Or mediocre ratings like Suspicious Partner, The King Loves, Seven Day Queen and many more.

    Of course they were hits like fight my way, goblin, strong woman dong soon, Go Back Couple..those are the ones I can think of...those were largely carried by the acting of the cast not because the scripts were earth shattering.Even Black Knight was overtaken by Return.Now compare with Defendant, Secret Forest, Mystery Queen, Voice, Witch's Court etc..

    Also I notice in korean dramaland.Actors get offers in the genres or roles where they have a track record of excelling in.Thats how we have rom com queens like JJS and GHJ.Melo Kings like JIS, SJS.Action Stars etc..So I see know problem with him sticking in his niche if that is where he gets the best offers.If he gets a good rom com or melo offer one day, he will do it.

    • Exactly.. you read my mind?

    • +10000

• I have soft spot for Seo Ye Ji & adore her so much.

• Hopefully,this one gonna be good and successful! He deserve it more than anyone tbh.
