Ha Ji Won Accepts Action Thriller Drama Prometheus While Joo Ji Hoon Declines

It’s a one in and one out in K-drama casting news today so let’s start with the news that gives drama fans something to look forward to. K-actress Ha Ji Won has confirmed her casting for upcoming big budget political action thriller drama Prometheus. It’s the story about a plan to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and the intelligence agents trying to stop a global spanning conspiracy to scuttle it. It’s pretty apropos in terms of timing to real world events going on right now, plus Ha Ji Won definitely fits an capable South Korean intelligence agent role. But while she’s onboard, hours later came the news that K-actor Joo Ji Hoon has declined to be the male lead for Prometheus, the role of a North Korean defector agent, so the search continues to fill the lead duo. Korean-American actor Ki Hong Lee remains in talks for the other male lead role.

  • welcome back queen!!! I do really hope that she will have a decent leading man this time.

      • I couldn’t think of any than Lee Jun Ki but he just wraps up a drama so it is quite impossible.

        And knowing HJW’s current leading men lately, she’s not that lucky of her pairing which were so much younger than her :( I hope it won’t be the case here.

      • Lee Joon Gi’s current body frame really fits for a North Korean man. He only needs to cut his hair short like in the military & his so ready for the role. It would be interesting to listen him speak in a North Korean accent all throught out the series.

  • Ouch. JJH declined the offer? The last I read, he was favorably considering the offer. Alas, he is thriving in Chungmuro, safe to say he has very good reason to decline. Curious to know who would be the male lead. Can we have Kim Nam Gil?

  • A good and a bad news! I'm happy to see HJW in a new drama but I wanted to see JJH in a drama too :(

    • Eric nam? The singer? Or Eric Moon from shinhwa (he was in Another Oh Hae Young).. Did Eric Nam act in dramas? I havent heard that.

  • Kim nam Gil would be soo sexy but saldly I think he signed on to be an angry priest for his upcoming drama :( HJW deserves a proper A-list leading man!!

      • He was offered the role of a former detective turned priest with temper problem. The tentative title of the drama is "Hot Blooded Priest" and billed as a comedy.

  • She would have matched well with Jo Ji Hoon.But good to see her back.How about a reunion with Jo In Sung?

  • I’m doing that face that lil Kevin does in Home Alone. Why???? Did JJH decline? Anyone know? I was looking forward to this but yeah nah the other half better be top notched for our HJW. Glad she accepted though. Hope the producers are sending out their calling cards to prospective leads. And no I do not want Jung Hae In in this action Jackson drama. I want someone rugged and mean. Oh JJH what happened???? We were all all rooting for you and now it was all build ups. Gosh I’m disappointed but dem are the breaks. ?

      • @SFE -Thank you for that reminder. Yep our JJH is in hot demand happy too that he’s on a roll with his career after his messed up ex Gain tried to trip him him up and throw him under the bus but hello she ended up in a heap! Got no sympathy from me whatsoever for her callousness.

  • Bummer would have love to see JJH working with HJW.

    Its been too long, want to see him back in dramaland but he is doing well in movies.

  • This one looks promising. Glad Ha Ji Won will be back with a good drama ( by the sound of it).

  • Song seon- hyeun would be perfect lead man for this type of role, he is a good actor and fit for action too and have a crush on Ha ji won ?
