Sageuk K-drama Asadal Confirms Leads Song Joong Ki, Kim Ji Won, Jang Dong Gun, and Kim Ok Bin

This is a huge K-drama confirmed casting but the impact has been tempered by the three leads names bandied about for some time in connection with this project. Upcoming ancient history sageuk Asadal has locked down leads Song Joong Ki, Kim Ji Won, Jang Dong Gun, and Kim Ok Bin. The four will front what is arguably the biggest K-drama announced so far for 2019, a story set in the beginning of the formation of the Korean historical kingdoms even earlier than Gorguyeo which was dramatized in Jumong. The drama will be directed by the PD of My Ahjusshi and Signal, with the screenwriter of Tree with Deep Roots, Queen Seondeok, and Six Flying Dragons. Consider be blown away impressed by the depth and breadth of the main cast and production team.

  • I will watch this because of the brilliant PD Kim and the impressive sageuk writing duo. Not so much on the casts, though.

  • Finally sjk is going to make a comeback. Was wondering what would be his next project post dots cause expectations were huge. Though the cast and team is top notch but I will keep my expectations low. Hope this doesn't disappoint.

  • Always looking forward to watching a drama from this writing team. Most excited for SJK's casting- his best performance is still tree with deep roots so I'm glad for this reunion.

  • Amazing cast amazing PD tvN is a good channel amazing writer this is a super good choice and will let SJK show off his acting skills and KJW and JDG are awesome costars.

    So both SHK and SJK picked tvN as their comeback channels lol

      • Will you stop it?, you are so immature and insecure stop dragging her and sjk and their personal life, and if am i not wrong you were one to say that sjk will be replace because his agency didn't confirm anything. Are you happy now to see your bubble burst
        ?.

  • Yay they finally confirmed! I'm looking forward to this, the production team, writer and cast are all solid.

  • The earlier news said that they are not confirmed yet. They are in the final stage of negotiation/ coordination.I am sure they all will sign for this drama.

  • so his wife is going to kiss his brother and sjk to pair with the 2nd lead - just funny casting

    im curious about the budget, since the cast alone is already expensive

  • Omg I'm super excited song joong ki's comeback. I'm still crossing finger that he'll get to pair up with the amazing ha ji won one day. She's a very talented actor so is Song Joong Ki. They'll make a great team.

  • The cast is good, only wished someone like Park Bo Young as the leading lady instead. KJW is okay at best but not on par with Song Joong Ki….

    • If KJW can synchronise with Jin Goo.She should have no problems doing the same with his buddy SJK.So long as they dont make her the annoying pretty, weeping, damsel in distress with no significant part in the plot.She's alright.

    • In fact, he should be thankful he got KJW rather than the regular recruits for this types of saeguk like Jin Se Yeon or Shin Se Kyung who I find very very wooden in their acting.

      • These two are universally called bad actors but their saeguks are always highly rated lol.

      • They are both very good in saeguk. I don't see the problem if either of them had been cast either.

    • I want PBY to receive a solid script from a highly rated writer as well. But maybe she is back to doing films.
      KJW is okay - she's pretty and decent in acting.

    • I agree with @RubyRed up there. KJW is probably one of the better candidates for a saeguk lead in her 20s, and I see no reason why she shouldn't match SJK - she's never failed to match with a costar before.

    • I agree PBY and SJK are on a higher level compared to KJW. I'm not saying KJW is bad; she is good, but not the same level with PBY and SJK.

      My opinion. :)

  • Best news that KJW and KOB cast as kick ass female leads and not some doe eyed cute wall flowers. Yep I’m happy with the casting. ?
