Park Bo Gum and Suzy Offered Leads for K-drama People of Incheon Airport

• Can anyone tell me what's the connection between these two drama titles. It's confusing me all the news about this drama

  • I think Fox Bride Star is a romance melodrama. But then the writer canceled the drama after Hyun Bin rejected the project. Then she decided to write this airport drama.
    I guess they are not related at all other than having the same writer? And both dramas also sent a offer to Park Shinhye.

  • PSH offered Fox Bride Star ---> Hyun Bin offered same project ---> Hyun Bin declined ---> Yang Sejong said to be offered but denied by agency ---> Scriptwriter change project to Incheon Airport People ---> Park Shinhye declined ---> Park Bogum and Suzy offered

    Yeah, that's about it LOL.

• I hope Lee Dong Wook will give Suzy some acting lessons in the interim. As much as I think having Suzy as the lead is a bad thing, this drama may likely win the rating game because of PBG and Suzy teflon-ess.

• An airport setting sounds interesting and most importantly Bogum as a pilot would be hot!

  • I think this drama is about the ground staff not the pilots or cabin crew. Could be wrong but that's the impression I got.

• I knew they would cast either Bogum or Yoo Seungho when they changed the plot. Since these two are the most high-profile famous actors in their 20s to star alongside PSH. But then PSH bailed lmao. Can she do both this and Alhambra? I don't want to see Suzy and her "acting" again. Or pull Kim Jiwon from that Venus writer's drama.

• Interesting....now if the writer can pen something dramatic like the recent airplane engine explosion and Captain Shults directing the plane to safety would be good rather then some healing drama.

  • Too expensive to execute..

• LOL... I bet HB and PSH will cry after seeing this drama hit 27% now that it has Bogum on board. Remember, RDTK had 2 times the ratings of W in 2016. Especially HB since he has no hit drama since 2010.

  • Lol I think PSH and hyun combo have a higher chance of being a ratings hit than bo gum and suzy

    • No I think any drama with Bogum has a hundred percent chance of being a major hit. I wouldn't surprised if this became a bigger hit than Mr Sunshine.

    • Lmao

    • To be a bigger hit than Mr Sunshine, I think it has to get at least 30% on SBS. With Suzy around? Close to impossible.

  • But RTDK featured a strong lineup of actors especially a respectable movie actor Han Suk Kyu headlining. And to mention Koreans' obsession with medical theme dramas in 2016. I think the rating will be fairly decent since PBG is extremely popular and Suzy is still a hot commodity in Korea. I think Alhambra will do well since it will be aired on cable tv.

    • King of Baking Kim Tak-goo hit 50% and Yoon Shiyoon was a total newbie at that time.

  • @A. Even when I’m nota fan of Hyun Bin or Park Shin Hye, I can tell you this for sure that they won’t cry. Why? Because this drama seems to demand more emotional acting from the fame lead in which Suzy sucks unless she starts taking acting lessons. You know what knetz think of that? No matter how pretty, they won’t be able to watch it. Just look waht happened to Uncontrollably Fond ratings lmao.
    And what does RDTK and W has to do this?

    • Ok idk why my comment didn't get through. But I was comparing the writers' previous dramas and their ratings. Its very obvious which drama has the higher rating. W had Han Hyo-joo return to the small screen after 6 years but it only hit 11%. The thing is, Song Jaejung does not have a ratings hit in her resume. Idk why people would think Hyun Bin and Park Shinhye would suddenly have a hit in their hand with THIS writer. Its more likely they will flop, considering HB tends to make bad drama choices.

  • Idk who will come out on top but Park Bogum is the only one that's going to cry. Irregardless of ratings, he is gonna have to hard carry the drama because of his incompetent female lead.

    • I thought Suzy was decent i WYWS. Maybe she'll be like Uee who does better with heavy subject matter like Hogu's Love & Marriage Contract.

    • Lol on the contrary, Suzy exceptionally sucks at heavy subject matter. Her visuals and acting skills is just enough to carry a light rom-com, but for some reason she tends to pick projects that require emotional acting.

  • Nah, things have changed since 2016 though.Even getting double digits is a feat on public channel these days.Cable(jtbc and tvn) is where the quality scripts are. PSH and HB are losing nothing by not signing to SBS. Especially Park Shin Hye needs a break from that station.Based on star power, both have potential of doing well.What matters is the script.The one which will resonate with the audience more will win in ratings.

  • ...Park Shin Hye's last drama cracked 20 percent multiple times despite being a sleeper hit, why should she cry? Her last two dramas before that were major hits too. She's backed up her popularity with actual ratings several times over, she got nothing to prove in tv.

• Wow suzy..always getting the famous and hallyu actors..

• Exciting news and hope Suzy takes the role...She seems to have a choice though with some film roles currently on offer too. Have to wait and see.

• There was a joke back then when she was offered to headline the MBC drama with his male equivalent, Nam Joo Hyuk that they are saving the drama world a torture from having to endure 2 dramas with bad acting and not getting a good actor suffering due to her lousy acting.

  But then, that's history and here comes the possibility that PBG will have to compensate her shortcoming. The writer is solid but Suzy has the tendency to suck out any good energy from a drama. Expect more screaming in this drama and not even PBG can save this impending horror.

• Shot! PBG and Suzy what a great pairing but I do hope the storyline and script benefits them both because set at an airport well umm yeah. Planes fly in and planes fly out. I really do not know where I am going with my post sorry. And yes I like them both but I won't put it on the drama calendar if they do confirm because it just doesn't excite me enough like...Lawlesss Lawyer; Wok of Love; ❤️

  • agree with your comment.. i really like this pairing.. but i dont know about the storyline. i hope so the storyline and the script can reach the expectation..
