Kang Ha Neul in Talks for the Male Lead of K-drama Camellia Blooms Opposite Gong Hyo Jin

I wrote about the current and coming K-actor military discharges and now there’s another news about a casting already lined up for a talented male lead. Kang Ha Neul has been offered the male lead role in warm and mysterious drama Camellia Blooms which has been linked to Gong Hyo Jin as the female lead. There’s actually three male leads – a good guy, a bad guy, and a petty guy – who all fall for the female lead who is a single mom running a bar called Camellia. Directing is the PD of Uncontrollably Fond and Are You Human, Too, with the script penned by the writer of Fight For My Way (Third Rate My Way). Kang Ha Neul totally reminds me of a younger Jo Jung Seok with the multi-talented acting and musical singing and he had great chemistry with Gong Hyo Jin in Incarnation of Jealousy so I’ll keep my mind open if the casting for Camellia Blooms ends up being this proposed pairing.

  • Passed I’ve moved on from Camellia. Next. However any news of casting offers for Ji Chang Wook and Kim Soo Hyun. They’re my last hope. Please one of them score well; storyline and female lead.

  • Musical actors are really great like Jo Jung Seok, Cho Seung Woo, Lee Kyu Hyung and Kang Ha Neul. I want to seem him in lead role for once! He's so good, he deserves it :)

  • Sorry but Gong Hyo Jin is average at best they should pick a very beautiful actress if they want us to believe all three male leads fell for her...

    • Kang Ha Neu is a respectable talented actor. It’ll be great if we had more info on the three male characters. Like what are the dynamics on relationships between the four. GHJ is one of the older actresses and she does look her age. And I’m not a fan of her acting. So based on the little info we have and looking at this paring, I’m NOT excited for this drama.

    • And yet between a drama starring her or a drama starring a gorgeous idol like Suzy, I’d pick Gong Hyo Jin’s any time. She’s an amazing actor and builds fantastic chemistry with all her costars. And she is quite pretty, she just doesn’t look surgically altered like so many other K-stars.

      • people usually comment when they enjoy what they read; so I repeat - why are you here if you don't like the casting news? I'm not a bully, you are.

      • People are free to share their opinion as long as it is not pure hate. An opinion can be positive or negative. There is nowhere where it says that a comment should only be positive. Some people could be excited for one of the actors but not a fan of the other and they are free to express their worries or thoughts. The world is not pink and saying you don’t enjoy someone’s acting doesn’t make you a bully.

      • @Daloula, yes everyone has a right to comment, but making derogatory remarks like she not beautiful at all and people will not fall for her since she's not beautiful, and cause she looks her age, that is shocking and we 'need' to talk about it. At this time and era, where everyone is vocal about inner strength and positivity, and loving someone for who they are, 'not the artificial or fake ones', it's shocking that people think a picture perfect modelesque face is needed to make people fall for someone lol. What about her character, integrity or inner beauty which is what actually matters and not the prettiness? These type of shallow behavior screams of what's wrong in today's society and where many are focused. Naturally, it's prettiness which is all they care about and not the personality or a person's character.

    • @merix - I think you are the annoying one! Just let all others express their opinions. What's with you? Do you think you own this site?? LOL. Why am I here? Coz I am everywhere. Hahaha...

    • Their are some people have emptiness in their lives so they act as judges not a real critic .
      And about about respect opinions ha ...! When they respect the others in their comments we can accept or respect their high and mighty opinions.

      • Hey Nile Rose can you just please leave us here to ‘express’ ourselves as we have done so freely and respectfully; to agree and to disagree. We don’t have emptiness in our lives so stop judging us. Same reason as to why you’re here offering your ten cents worth of opinion. Gosh if it wasn’t for the likes of feedback this place would’ve as boring as watching beans grow.

      • @ginger I am replying @merix not you and if you feel that comment offend you just ignore it .
        And for the main article I didn't watch the drama to give my opinion .

  • I'm curious why older actresses get much younger actors while the younger actresses get much older actors. Is there a rule against casting similar age people?

    • Why does age matter in casting? These actors won’t be playing as themselves, so why always bring the age gap?

      • Because how can you sell a love story if the pairing is not convincing?? Drama’s all about selling the chemistry.

        Perhaps if the payed more attention into casting right leads for the roles, ratings would improve .

      • Seriously I really don’t how old are you the most commenters here that many think dramas are real. They are actors. They can play as same characters even if they are 10 years apart. Certainly Kang Ha Nuel look more mature than his age or can make himself look older than he actually is... and be can be paired up either younger or older actresses.

  • What with Kang ha neul fans? GHJ is not bad, she killed every character she's in, her drama always get so many attention. Yes she is not that pretty, but she have another charm who take her to her position right now, and if we look at Kang ha neul, damn that guy always bad at picking project. He's not in GhJ's level. He's the lucky one here.
