Hhhhmmm, this is rather odd non-casting news. Earlier this week it was announced that K-actor Son Seok Gu was in talks to join the cast of upcoming Kim Eun Seok penned drama The King: Eternal Sovereign. He was up for what I call the protector type supporting male lead role, as a cop in one of the two parallel universes. I thought this was a lock and he’s a great choice thanks to being so versatile and charismatic. Sadly days later he’s turned down the role so it’s up to the production to find another smexy tall talented supporting male lead to join Lee Min Ho, Kim Go Eun, and Woo Do Hwan.
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…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

I wonder what his body of work is. I don’t recall seeing him in anything. He would have benefited from the popularity boost starring in a KES drama would’ve given him. Perhaps he had other jobs lined up that he felt would be more fulfilling and had scheduling conflicts and the like. If so, more power to him for sticking with his convictions.
oh.. I am sad he declined. He is such a terrific actor.
I first saw him in "Mother" aka "Call Me Mother" with Lee Bo-Young. What a powerful drama it was.
After that I saw him in "Suits."
I look forward to seeing him in "Designated Survivor: 60 Days."
He was the love interest of Bae Donna in Sense8. He was scene stealer in that series. And he got popularity in Korea for his villain role in Mother. Yeah, he is charismatic on screen.
I tried to Google his name but this is like the only article that came up. Does he really exist, lol?
lol because koala spelled his name wrongly. its Seok-gu not seon-gu.
That's because the name was misspelled. It's Son Seok-gu of Best Divorce and My Mister.
Oh ok. Thanks for clearing it up.
He is lead material, great in Sense8.
Unpopular opinion but I am glad he didn't pick up a supporting role for that KES drama. He can still strive without KES drama in his resume.
Agree. I think he is very smart not to sign up as supporting in KES usual cheeses. Once tainted as cheez, he will always be a mouse attraction like LMH.
Smart move.
The only thing I saw about him when I searched him up was bae Donna denying that they are not dating.....@candy cane how is LMH a mouse attraction just because u don't like him does not make him that and also heirs is not only his drama
What's wrong with being a mouse attraction? Have you ever been to Disneyland? A lot of people like the mouse.
Ooooohhhh I really like this guy in Sense8. He was very charismatic there. Handsome too!
I really like him! It was good in Sense8 and he was the only character I liked in Matrimonial Chaos. He was so weird and funny in the same time.
It will be nice if he continues to have an international career.
Him or KDW, in both cases, KMH can't compet in term of charisma.
Dónde puedo ver "matrimonial chaos" en Netflix argentina-south america, no está-Muchas gracias
