This is an unfortunate situation all around but the replacement feels like a boon for the production and viewers. SBS Fri-Sat drama Delayed Justice has been fraught with so many problems from Kwon Sang Woo getting injured to COVID-19 shut downs and the most recent was the other male lead Bae Sung Woo getting fired from the show after his DUI arrest a month ago. It would be difficult to write the character out of the show so the production went to re-cast and landed basically a unicorn – top movie star Jung Woo Sung will step in for the role in the final 4 episodes. It must be a favor to good friend Kwon Sang Woo or he’s worked with the PD/writer before, whatever the reason it makes me want to tune in now. His new stills are out and he definitely looks the character of a scruffy reporter, and I love how intently he’s studying the script in the BTS still.
FYI, Jung Woo Sung is co-ceo of his talent agency where Lee Jung Jae is also co-ceo of. Basically, his star Bae Sung Woo is also in the agency. So, in a way, he’s trying to save faces through starring in the show to salvage it, and also someone in his agency. Jung Woo Sung is a smart guy.
Oh, that explains why during the initial talk, lee jung jae was supposed to replace bae sung woo. Which i thought was really random.
I am simply amazed at random information when I read the comments.
I was wondering why the big movie stars got involved.
BSW is a long-time pal of both CEOs
Now I actually want to watch it, hope I can find it on VIU
