Now this is what I legit call a truly bizarre casting choice other than for the buzz. Suzy has been offered the role of Ha Jung Woo‘s wife in upcoming Korean thriller movie Mount Paektu (Paektu Mountain). Forget their twenty plus age difference in real life, in the movie it would only narratively make sense that Ha Jung Woo is married to Suzy if she were his child bride. This isn’t a substantive role though as the movie involves three male leads Ha Jung Woo as a South Korean agent, Lee Byung Hun as a North Korean agent, and Ma Dong Seok as a scientist working together to prevent a catastrophic eruption of Mount Paektu which straddles the North Korea/China border. It’s a disaster flick combined with North/South Korean political intrigue and with three top actors onboard a guaranteed box office hit. Suzy may just smile winningly and join for the ride.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Wow
Any suggestion of Suzy dramas or film that are interesting to watch? I knew a few but haven't try to watch....it's going to be long break for me this year end. want to watch as many drama as I can...LOLZ...
I actually liked her in The sound of a flower; Architecture 101 and Uncontrollably Fond and have supported her since then. However I feel that she has a long way to go acting wise and should work at her craft more.
Suzy cannot act. Why do you want to watch her? Just curious. It will be a waste of time imo ?
You comment as if you're a better actor. You judge her as if you're an expert lol. That's your opinion that she can't act, sure, but that's just yours alone. Don't expect you'll influence others' opinion of her by leaving negative comments in all of the posts about Suzy. Why are you even wasting time and effort if you despise her acting that much lol don't you have better things to do, my friend?
You’re joking right? Oh you’re not joking. Okay I’ll reserve judgment because Suzy as the wife of HJW somewhat has me scratching my head. Why Suzy? Is this a hoax or did some creative genius dream up this mismatch of the century. Korean acting fraternity should be questioning Suzy being cast in this film. How can we take this action packed film seriously. It’s not the age difference it’s the lack of acting calibre that Suzy doesn’t quite have. Also the maturity and depth of her acting will be extremely obvious.
I don't think this is a very important role. She probably won't have much screentime. Her fans would be truly shameless if they claim the success of the film to be hers. Just hope JYP won't make the situation worse by buying her a Best Supporting Actress award or something.
Wow Suzy gets another free ride!
By the way koala true mismatch is not in terms of their age(which is 15 years not 20) but their acting capability. HJW is one of the most talented, charismatic and successful actor in Korea while Suzy is an acting black hole.
Hope her role is just blink and miss!
Suzy' role in this movie is as a rescue team. I am anticipating this movie since Suzy is Ha Jungwoo's friend in real life and the director of this movie is same with the one who directed along with the God.
lulz, Suzy's casting is an endless stream of entertainment. I'm sure she will be terrific in everything she does. Maybe her role would make the very first victim of the volcano eruption and she can emote as a corpse, preferably face down. Fabulous!!!
Just don't understand how come Suzy still get casted ? She's a killer, even 'kill' her co-male actors including the top male actors! Already been in acting line for so long and yet she still can't act!
it's all about the influence
See how JYP already mediaplayed about this casting offer? ’’It is true that she has been offered this role, but this is one of the MANY roles Suzy is considering’’. Never seen anyone so shameless who goes around mediaplaying how they got offered this or that and how she’s in a position of declining roles. Sucks for actual actresses though. For instance, luckily Suzie turned Cheese in the Trap down because she wouldn’t have done justice to Hong Seol like Kim Go Eun did. Imagine if she had taken it. Her foot acting would have ruined the drama even more than the shittie director.
Lol. Every agency always says it's one of the offers they're considering. IU did it, Park Bo Gum did it, so did Song Joong Ki. That's literally the first and most common response every celebrity gives. But sure, call it "media play" because it's Suzy. And for the record, it's not media play if it's true. How many projects has she already declined this year? These are only the ones we know of.
Cheese in the Trap wasn't that great as well tbh so I'm glad she turned it down. Probably got turned off by the script lol
I can't tell if people are seriously delusional or just trolling when they blame Suzy for Kim Woo Bin's illness. I'm glad he's recovering but you've gotta be super twisted to blame a coworker and friend for someone else's poor habits and life decisions, i.e. smoking.
Wonderful news. So much choice.Cant wait to hear more about this one.?
I just cannot see Suzy with these A-list veterans. She doesn't have the acting chops.
