Kim Sun Ho Courted for Male Lead of Late Summer 2021 Fantasy Drama Link with Rumored Female Lead Kim Ji Won

The understandable love for Han Ji Pyeong is so strong it’s no surprise male lead Kim Sun Ho has punched his own ticket to headlining a prime time drama. He’s being courted as the male lead for the tvN fantasy romance Link, currently landing around August 2021 premiere based on tvN’s preliminary scheduling for next year. The drama is about a chef who opens a restaurant in the same small town his twin sister disappeared twenty years ago. After moving to the town, he begins to exhibit strong emotional reactions including bursting into tears and extreme happiness. He discovers he’s linked to a woman and can feel her emotions. I’m guessing said woman is the female lead character and DC Inside has it that Kim Ji Won will be the female lead of the drama. So there you have it! Let’s hope this drama is a gem for tvN in 2021 to not waste these two.

  • Ooh. Both from the same agency too. That being said, I wanted to see him be paired up with an older or similar age actress. But, KJW is very talented and gorgeous. Seo Hyun Jin was another name that was being floated, but she just chose another drama. Hope whoever the FL is, its a talented actress in his age group!

    • I think KJW can actually make a really good leading lady with him, her acting style looks like it would match with his and her look tends to work well with slightly older actors too (Jin Gu, Song Joong Ki, even Park Seo Joon). Also 6 years isn't a large age gap, I would have loved to see Seo Hyun Jin too but KJW is great.

      • I know, but I wish it was someone outside of his agency. He and Son Ye Jin would be amazing together. Or even Seo Ye Ji. Someone who can bring out his charms even more, and give him a nice push and pull ;) What's going to make this drama is hot/amazing chemistry with his leading lady. We need some IOTNBO type of sexual chemistry ahaha. Hoping, that an established actress like them come into the fold!!!

      • I don't think there's anything wrong with their being from the same agency, but if KJW does get cast I would be all in favour of it - been watching her since 2013 and she has great chemistry with all her costars so at least that shouldn't be a problem.

  • Liked him very much since the drama u drive me crazy
    in that drama he was really good but was not able to know why he is not successful

    Anyways now happy to see he got what he deserved, better late than never
    All the best for his future success

    • Hi, his kiss scene in you drive me crazy got 12 million view on youtube (he didn't know about this, recently 2 days 1 night crew told him). Think the drama is successful as it provided the next step for him.

  • I like both, but i hope her new drama is female centric ?? Look at her character in FFMY, DOTS, and The Heir, i think she will slay it.

    But whatever she choice, i will support her.

  • I am happy for them..But is it confirmed??..
    Because anyone can make any rumour in DC Inside forum..
    It reminded me of that rumoured Lee Jong Suk , Song Hye Kyo drama...which wasn't reported by kmedia but somehow reached twitter..And now no news about casting from either of them..

    I will try to search for a reliable source for this one.

    • It's not confirmed. It's just a rumor. Just how Seo Hyun Jin being rumored to be the FL in Link was. I also believe DC Inside also said the same thing. The drama is rumored for late July or August, so there's still time to choose a FL.

  • Great, is it confirmed? KSH will guest in Amazing Saturday Dec 26, and he will also co-host MBC music festival dec 31 - will watch it. Hope he can attend KBS Entertainment award...he will be so happy if he wins an award, cos 2 days 1 night is like family to him.

  • I just need him in a new drama ASAP :p As a lead of course!

    He was good in Waikiki 2 and Catch the Ghost!

  • this is just my opinionn Kim Ji Wons acting is all same in her drama DOTS and FFMW. THATS WHY HER career stagnated. Her contemporary Park Shin Hye is miles miles ahead of her.

    Hope that this is just a rumor. I want to watch kim seon hos drama but not with Kim Ji Won - there are better actresses than her.

      • Both of you are wrong for putting down one actress to elevate your fave. Btw, Taste is relative. I like PSH’s acting more over some actresses plus she has this amazing screen presence which explains her being more popular than others.

    • You are not the one who always criticizes and offends PSH in many, many publications? So to take down KJW you use PSH, let's ignore this comment and do not allow this user to create a war, just ignore it and do not fall for this game.
      Postscript: Both are so pretty and talented.

    • "Kim Ji Wons acting is all same in her drama DOTS and FFMW"

      lol Joane you liar, that sentence is how I know there's no freaking way you actually watched both dramas.

      You sound like the type who thinks they're an expert on acting from watching gifs ?? I feel secondhand embarrassment for you, really.

    • @joane Oh please, how is her acting in DOTS the same as in FFMW? I watched DOTS first, and when I watched FFMW, I didn't even realize until later that it was the same actress! She's a versatile actress, she even pulled off the bitchy role in Heirs! lmao you're ridiculous.

      “There are better actresses than her” You mean, your girl? ?

      And stop with the super fake praise of PSH, we all know you had bashed her on previous articles on this site.

      KJW fans, please don't bash PSH, both are good actresses, and it's not PSH's fault that there's a troll here trying to create fanwars by trying to put down one actress to elevate another.

      • ^Exactly. Nothing about her characters OR her acting is the same between DOTS and FFMW....or any of her other dramas.

        but as we can see, joane doesn't let facts get in the way of an opportunity to say nasty things.

  • Oh No..No to KIM JI WON. shes a trying hard actress. Kim Seon Ho derseves better Female Lead. Kim Ji won is Boring ,bland actress

    • @joanne
      I know u r liable to express ur opinion but can u plz do it without demeaning the other actress
      For u except yoojung all r bad why bother with their dramas then
      Stop nickpicking on other actress
      Had some peace in the last two post so thought u improved even thought of thanking u for being considerate but guess i was wrong

      Ur demeaning other actress will bring 10 times worse demeaning words towards our girl so if not for cofandom plz at least b considerate to yoojung becoz has an idol even she will not want her fan to do this
