I thought this was a done deal but looks like Kang Ha Neul is juggling his full plate nicely without double booking. The award winning actor was offered the male lead in the 2021 scheduled sageuk Cut to the Heart with female lead Son Ye Jin which is about as high profile a pairing as you can get. Even the roles sound really perfect for each, she’s playing the ambitious Princess Pyeonggang who uses the love and devotion of the fool Ondal (of folklore) to help her win a kingdom. Sadly Kang Ha Neul will not be playing this iteration of Ondal as he’s turned down the role due to filming conflicting with his filming for a movie. Now it’s back to the drawing board for the production, and hopefully the male lead cast will be a great fit with Son Ye Jin when all is said and done.

It is a damning indictment of the television industry that they haven't managed to uncover talented new actresses and are still chasing after the Son Ye Jins of the world to play characters who are in their teens. Even Kang Haneul is 30. Absurd! Incidentally, Kang Haneul will appear in the drama as On Dal's father.
ahhhh...Kim Nam Gil will be amazihg..cast him please..♥
You stole my comment. He is the first actor that came to mind.
Yea!I agree with you. Kim Nam-Gil is one of the good actors.
Son Ye Jin as princess? why not give the role to someone.who is young, can act and pretty. will she act all cutesy again? lol.
, I cringe.when she acted cutesy. (Ugggggggh) just like in CLOY. she too old to play a princess.
By the way, it's good that Kang Ha Neul declined the project. I dont want to see him in another noona romance again..
I dun even remember she act cutesy in cloy.. n what do u mean find someone who can act and pretty.. sonyejin is one of the pretty actress who can act well.. but 1 thing i do agree is she nt taking this job bcs the story is nt even interesting. She deserves sth better..
she (@joane) probably watched another drama, I could not remember her being cutesy as well.
Are you 12 or what ? Such a shallow comment. Looks is subjective but saying she can’t act is so stupid, her acting is great ...however , I do agree about the age, aren’t princesses really young usually ? Not older than 30 y/o... in modern times its different i know , but in the past wouldn’t a woman her age be a Queen/Empress ?
I'm with you Joane - the princess is supposed to be 18 years old. Son Ye Jin, for all her charms, would be visually soooo wrong for the role. It's a historical drama so it's not like they can really fiddle with her age either.
The one acting cutesy all the time is your favourite..
By her age YJ was already doing challenging roles..
While ur fave is still playing the same roles in every drama where she was casted as the adult lead role..
FYI Son Ye Jin starred in the blockbuster The Last Princess.. and played the character of a real princess without acting cutesy..She got lots of awards for that as well..
Kang ha neul pls act another drama or movie with Gong hyo jin. Both of look good together.
Love you Yong shik si and Dongbaek si
SYJ is one of the most awarded actress in Korea both for tv and movies. Where do you get the nerve to say such a ridiculous comment? She has been hailed recently as the most beautiful woman!
U obviously don't like SYJ. Ur comments r based on hate. Keep ro ur lane.
I would like to see lee jin wook in this,i though the story quite interesting
I know they are both big names but neither actually interests me at all. I actually hate hate hate her. The only time I've ever liked her was in Crash Landing on You. And as for him I can totally take him or leave him. I've watched some of his shows but if I'm not interested in the concept or love the actress I don't bother watching.
lol why are u here then? just to spread your hate? lmao!?
Yes, that's what you are, a hater. So no, your opinion about this drama don't count.
She's rejected it also it seems. Looks like casting will need to go through many more rounds to nail the the cast. Likely younger less known will end up being finalised. Why do production comoanies do such media play? Its cut throat in korean industry now with S leagues having dozens of scripts to choose from. Putting out such articles when cast don't confirm later is just embarrassing
Son ye jin, award winning actress.
Maybe, they are not destined to act together. Award winning actress versus award winning actor. I love Son ye Jin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
not a fan of this pairing, kinda odd to her with another younger actor and he with another older actress.good that he rejected!
I'm glad he rejected! It looks like it'll be a mess tbh because of the writer. He can now be picky when choosing scripts.
The character is the same with his prev drama. Yes better turn in down and pick something new
