One big name leading man is passing but another one has thrown his name in the mix. Hit drama screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung‘s upcoming 2020 drama about people working for an overseas NGO initially had her reuniting with former male lead Jo In Sung after working together twice already with That Winter, the Wind Blows and It’s Okay, It’s Love. Unfortunately it won’t be a threepeat (yet) and Jo In Sung has passed on this next drama due to scheduling conflicts. Top movie actor Lee Byung Hun is now in serious talks for the role and if he accepts will work with confirmed leading ladies Han Ji Min and Shin Mina, and also young actor Nam Joo Hyuk. Both ladies worked with Lee Byung Hun as the start of their careers – Han Ji Min was the younger Song Hye Kyo in gambling drama All In while Shin Mina played Lee Byung Hun’s little sister in Beautiful Days. No matter what any Noh Hee Kyung written drama will get plenty of interest from viewers but this big name cast will certainly add to the excitement.

I like both female leads and NJH. Too bad the very tall JIS is traded in for the very short Lee Santa. Hope he will pass... Visually speaking, I would prefer another tall actor. Hmmm... how about Cha Seung Won? hee hee :-)
Why not Gongyoo? I skip mr sunshine because of LBH, dont make me skip this too.
Oooo, I like GY too. There is no shortage of tall actors in K-drama. I skipped Mr S too bcoz of LBH. Can't stand this creep!
Disappointing news, I will skip this drama if he accepts. I still can’t get over the image of what a bad guy he is due to how he treated his wife. That’s the primary reason why I never watched Mr. sunshine despite the positive reception. It makes me sad because I like the other actors.
Too bad, i will pass . The way he treated his wife is a private matter,even if i hate this kind of behavior. But i can't stand the fact that some still working in big projects when others are outcasted for less important scandals. Especially women.
Two beautiful ladies with this lee santa. Please no!
Oh I'm happy to see LBH confirmed because I like him as an actor. I grew up watching a lot of his works and he's an amazing actor. I hope he did great along with the other casting. Sign me on. I miss Han Ji Min already. Waiting for this drama and another movie of her with NJH.
why he is so lucky?iii?i
Cos he is a bankable movie star, an A+ list actor in Chungmuro. Not to mention all his dramas from All In, IRIS to the recent Mr.Sunshine are all highest rated.
I get that he is a huge star and a good actor (though he unfairly robbed Lee Seon Kyun the best actor award at Baeksang. Still bitter about it) but can we please get a fresh faced actor? Enough of LBH already. There are plenty of good looking talented actors out there who could play this role, they just didn't have the chance to shine.
Somehow, Noh Hee Kyung always collaborated with PD Kim Kyung Tae and this PD had worked with LBH in IRIS. I got a feeling he will accept this drama.
Noh hee kyung never goes for fresh faced actors. She has her set of faves and she sticks with them. If nam joo hyuk managed to get cast in this drama I'm willing to bet it was due to a very high recommendation from, jo in sung who her worked with in a movie, han ji min and maybe even jung yumi since he's currently working with those to actresses and noh hee kyung adores both these actresses. He must also have been put through an audition.
Because he’s a great actor.
Because he knows powerful people in the Industry.
Finally, a drama to look forward to. LBH never dissappoints and I can always trust in his choices. The actress on the other hand *sigh not super excited about. Its been a while since ive seen Shin Min Ah so should come back with an impressive perfomance. Looking forward to It!!!!
I remember when Gong Yoo turned down Mr. Sunshine and LBH signed up for the lead, everyone cried horror and it turned out to be one of the best dramas of the year. To each his own!
I look forward to this drama because I love Han Ji Min and her acting.
Han Ji Min is the only Korean actor I like from the Korean Entertainment so I'm very excited to see her again on the small screen. Please let this drama be a good one.
I didn’t manage to finish Mr Sunshine so this might be my first LBH drama after awhile.
