Song Joong Ki Confirms Sageuk Asadal Ending Two Year Drama Hiatus

View Comments

• Good choice! I loved almost all the historical dramas by the writer.

• Wow!

• I know he would picked Asadal. The writing duo is sageuk heavyweight. I may not be a fan of his but he does have great eyes for good projects and not to mention that with his current status, he is inudated with a lot of great offers.

  And I love pre-Joseon sageuk simply for the warriors with the mane of glory. That led me to imagine how SJK would look like with that mane of glory? Top pick until now still Bidam and Wang So.

• Yaaaaasssss! I love Joongki in sageuks! And honestly, I'm loving how he didn't pick a trendy Hallyu drama for his comeback. No need to pander to the masses anymore. I really disliked DOTS for how underutilized Joongki's acting was there. With this upcoming project, he can shine again like he used to. :)

  • He did shine in DOTS though. It was in DOTS that made him Hallyu star and the abundance of CF offers in Korea, China and Thailand. Not to mention that his CF fee also skyrocketed.

    • He definitely shined in DOTS, but let's be real, the drama itself didn't demand much from his acting skills. That's what I missed about Song Joongki.

  • I dont think he will pick up a romance drama any time soon, because good luck to whoever will be his partner. SJK is still young and he can really act, he can just take meaty role.

• Yessss! Reunion with Kim Jin Won PD Nim... He will give his best here, right? Right?

• Kudos to him??!!!The production behind this drama is stellar.I want to see pre-DOTS actor Song Joong Ki again and this is the perfect project to bring that back.DOTS was good for his popularity and he found his life partner.But acting wise, it did nothing for him.Same with Battlefield movie.

  People are always saying idols have toxic fangirls but actor fans are just as delusional.I dare say maybe even worse because I would expect them to be a tad bit more mature since most of them are almost ahjumma age.Just go over to netizenbuzz and see some of the netizen reactions to his comeback.Tsk tsk.The summary was "he lost his charm since he got married, so they dont care anymore about his comeback".I dont even know where to begin with, to explain how pathetic that sounds.smh

  • More like salty nate fans lol

  • really ? hahaha maybe because his image after dots was like an idol? delulu fans..
    plenty actors got married. many J actors married in their 20s, and their career are fine even in romance drama (as romantic as jdrama can get :) )
    even in kdrama we have plenty married actors who can sell romance just fine.

• I'll be honest. As his fans who love his acting for real, for 5 years of not doing any meaty roles "exclude the battleship Island" is a torture for me. Imagining if he is doing a won bin, i don't know ehat i will do.

• Sounds like a good project. I want him to do well so that those ppl who said he lost his charm after getting married can eat their words. Hopefully SHK can also make a comeback..if she isn't pregnant ofc. Miss seeing her in dramas.

• The production team is great and he must have seen fsomething in this drama. So Mr Sunshine will be also anticipated drama, right? So these two dramas will dominate the headlines and ratings too

  • Didn't expect this drama will be hit like Mr. Sunshine cause fangirl and ahjumma lose interest with him after married.

    • Lol that what they will say now till the drama airs. And it only a few salty note girls that are pissed

    • There goes another one. Smh

    • lol no, if anything older women love him even more for being a good husband who is obviously in love with his wife. he did probably lose the fangirls, but it's not like they are loyal anyway

    • @lovewadaw It’s either married SJK who has a clean image, looks young and handsome or LBH with sex and cheating scandals, looks old and ugly. LBH acting maybe good, but drama viewers are ahjummas who want to live in fantasy so they would rather pick SJK if we’re judging only based on the male lead and not the other cast or plot of the drama.

    • I agree me! I think he actually gained more than what was said he lost. But then we’ll see how this drama will connect with the viewers. Acting wise, he is a good actor.

    • Nate is a hate sites you will barely see any positive comments on any articles. Fews comments from nate won't stop drama from being hit or flop. He has good public image and loyal fanbase so he has nothing to be worry about if this project is done right.

    • no no no... Saguek always gets higher ratings in SK. Why do you mention Mr Sunshine while these two dramas are of different genres and different airing dates? Ridiculous!

    • Eh, like they lost interest in Ji Sung, Jang Hyuk, Jang Dong Gun, etc.?

• For me I hope this drama will make him get rid of the flower boy image totally if possible just a little romance if there is need at all

  • These kind of drama don’t even need romance. The romance in SFD was so bothersome and would have been as good if Boon Yi and Lee Bang Won were only childhood friends. I’m not even expecting a full blown passionate romance.

    • Exactly very mild romance like jumong or none at all

  • No romance at all! Hahaha. Well, that’s just me being crazy; but as a fan, I really don’t mind the romance side. He’s an actor and needs to portray his roles convincingly. I’ve enjoyed SFD and Tree, so I guess I have expectations for this drama.
