Wow, this is like the most substantive news I’ve heard around Won Bin and any potential acting comeback project in 10 years. K-ent is reporting that Won Bin will not be making his return to the screen with the K-drama Immortal, a big budget 40 billion won affair that has all the hall marks of high profile even without his involvement. Won Bin reportedly seriously considered the offer, delved into the script about an immortal man who cannot die and the woman he lives who has been reincarnated countless times in 600 years and retains her memories. I mean, this is basically Goblin (awesome) and Born Again (awful) smushed together lol.
Thankfully the production team is top notch with the PD Jung second chair in Mr. Sunshine and directed Search: WWW and the screenwriter of the terrifying horror thriller The Guest. The team has resumed its search for a male lead and it’s definitely an A-lister considering Won Bin was up for it, and in terms of budget 40 billion won is insane just for comparison recent huge budget dramas include Mr. Sunshine was 40 billion won, The King: Eternal Monarch a little over 30 billion won, Arthdal Chronicles 54 billion won, and Vagabond 25 billion won.

Nope. I don't ever think Won Bin will do drama. If he is to make a comeback, I am sure it will be with a movie.
It’ll probably go to Song JoongKi lol
It sounded like Black Knight. Won Bin better just do CF. The script would probably have holes the size of moon crates.
Whoever takes this role would need to be prepared for the comparison and criticism.
Perhaps he knew he's not as good as more recent actors in the acting game to take a pass. Its been 10 years since he's been in anything. Or maybe he's trying to find something like Parasite...he could be a bit late. Unless Bong Joon Ho can recreate 2019 magic.
Won Bon! Lol
Lmao, i was so shocked reading the title.. and needed to take a look at the picture.
Aigooo... but since he didnt want to comeback to big or small screen, let him be wonbon for awhile. Lols
More he waits more the pressure to find a good role will grow up and more it will be difficult for him to come back.
Just 2 years of army and actors already have a lot of pressure for their comeback role with 10 years of CF, I can't imagine :p
Wishing For Park Seo Joon ?
He gives me Won Bin vibes, so i am sure the character fits him. Plus he is the most popular actor nowadays.
Btw the plot reminds me of Nanatsu No Taizai anime (Seven Deadly Sins), if it was executed properly, it would be Epic! Hoping PSJ gets offered the part.
Cast gongyoo please!!!
Won Bin should never call himself an actor. He should just rebrand himself as a model.
With so little works throughout the years, I'm not sure if he is lazy or what.
No respect for someone like him. Those working hard will earn fans respect.
I agree honestly, I mean a true actor would never quit acting because he doesnt find a role good enough. There is no perfect role, plus there were many memorable, critically acclaimed roles over the past years taken by others, how come they weren't good enough for him?!
Obviously he is happy making money out of CFs and just doesn't bother pick an acting project. Another thing is that he set the bar so high for himself, anything he picks up will definitely disappoint.
He is no longer a star. Non relevant anymore.
Don't use "unable to find the perfect role" to justify his laziness. A true actor should learn to take on versatile roles and learn from each roles to perfect his skills. If all actors are like him, then no films can be made.
If he thinks no roles or stories are good enough, why don't he try to be script writers to write a role for himself? He is just plain lazy. Just be a model forever, he can still make easy money out of it.
We should give those actors who really work hard applause. Not this Won Bin. He isn't a star anymore, stop calling him top star. It's insulting to other actors.
Does Won Bin call himself an actor or This blogger does? Get your comprehension straight I hope. WB is a celebrity. When time comes, he may be in an international movie. Never say never. He can act based on all his previous works and awards won including in international film festivals. Agree with Alexa that K-drama is probably not a good career choice at his stage now.
haha so funny. i mean, the actor should decide for himself whether he wants to act or not.it doesn't matter 1 drama every year or every 20 years.True actors doesn't act in any drama just to stay popular. they act because they want to be part of something that they believe.true fans doesn't mind coz the wait will be paid off when their fav actors finally come to screen with great drama
