Woo hoo, this is such great news! A new romance sageuk is headed our way in 2020, with SBS picking up the K-drama adaptation of the latest novel by writer Jung Eun Gwol who also wrote The Moon Embraces the Sun and Sungkyunkwan Scandal. She’s like the Tong Hua of Korean period romance novels and her prior two novel adaptations were big hits on Korea, especially The Moon Embraces the Sun which was the career establishing hit for Kim Soo Hyun and Sungkyunkwan also was the career starting points for Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In. The new novel is titled Hong Cheong Gi which is also the name of the female lead. She’s Joseon’s first female painter and the drama is a love triangle with a blind but capable astrologist who works for the royal family and also the dashing playboy crown prince. The drama will be directed by the PD of Wanted and Secret Mother.

This would be the perfect comeback project for Kim Taehee. Somehow I can see her in this role. If I were to dream cast it would be Kim Taehee and Kim Soohyun together. The visual explosion would be amazing.
Since we are just throwing in names how about Kang So Ra? She'd be a better match for Kim Soo Hyun. Other than him how about Ji Chang Wook?
Oh Kang Sora, where has she been? haven't seen her in a drama for quite sometime.
I agree about the return of Kim Soo Hyun for this drama!
KTH! Yes! ❤️
KTH, yess! Miss her so much!
That pd though..why..?? ?
Moon Chae-Won is the perfect person for this role, plzzz dramagods cast her!!! ?
PARK MIN YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!
What is this plot? Generic
I would really love pmy to play this. Together with ljk as astrologist and yai as playful prince. Please let it happen!
Can we have Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won, please? This is totally their genre. Or with Seo Ye Ji again? She's good in sageuk.
Yes Im with you @Alexa on that pairing- MCW and SYJ would be perfect. Either way both would be a treat if cast. Sorry Kim Tae Hee is expecting so nope she’ll be with baby by the time this rolls around. As PMY nope again she’s with Seo Kang Joon but definitely Kang Do Ra if she is available. I’m excited for this drama for sure.
This drama comes out at the end of 2020 while kim tae hee will have her baby in a few weeks time. How will she be with baby? Even if you take in the 6 month break after a child is born she still has plenty of time to do this drama.
So I’m all for Mums to get back on screen but Kim Tae Hee reminds me of Han Ga In when it comes to acting. Really pretty, visually stunning but a bit lacklustre in the acting department. I wouldn’t want to watch KTH in a sageuk as it would be rather tough. I would rather see PMY and that’s saying lots. KTH for a nice fluffy rom com is my preference if she was to return and a male lead such as Jang Hyuk and @Utah she will be with baby actually 2 of them in 2020.
Seems like a low budget drama
I have to say I didn’t like either those dramas whatsoever. But i also need to admit it’s gonna be a big project for whoever does it. I like the names being thrown. Tho really, Kim Soo Hyun being cast means the love triangle is already lopsided to the point of non existent. He’s getting the girl, lol. Star power is too high.
Moon Chae Won used to be so popular and had such high rated dramas. I’d love to see her come back to the A-lister drama actors honestly. Because TPM is still the best sageuk I’ve seen to date.
Yoon Eun Hye and Yoo Yeon Seok!!!!!!!
