K-news Reports on Ha Ji Won Possibly Reuniting with Jo In Sung for Upcoming Drama The King

I try to avoid posting about casting rumors, unless it’s something too good to be true and I need to squeal about it here otherwise I might go insane. K-news have been reporting today that THE ultimate chemistry-filled onscreen pairing might be reunited for another go around. Hopefully this time nowhere near Bali. Jo In Sung and Ha Ji Won have been in discussions for an upcoming Wed-Thurs MBC drama premiering in March 2012 called The King. My brain short circuited somewhere between the words Sung and Ha. I don’t ship these two in real life and am certain they are just good friends, but ZOMG the chemistry between them onscreen can melt your panties plus the rest of your lingerie in the drawer. YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN KOREA!

As much as I love Binnie (way more than I love Jo In Sung), but his chemistry with Ha Ji Won in Secret Garden was like a pale imitation of what she had with Jo In Sung in What Happened in Bali. If Jae Min and Soo Jung went to hell, I was right there alongside them for the ride. The King will be helmed by the PD for Damo and written by the screenwriter for Beethoven Virus. Supposedly Jo In Sung’s post-MS comeback project, the movie Fist, has been shelved after running into funding difficulties. Ha Ji Won just wrapped the ping pong movie Korea with Bae Doo Na. I think this is the drama gods way of clearing the schedule for these two beautiful people to reunite and make me (and a good majority of Korea) happy.

OMG!!!!!! OMG!!!!!
I’m actually really glad Jo In Sung’s movie has been put on hold. Just the synopsis alone made me feel sad that it was really gonna be his comeback project. BUT THIS! OMG. AAAAAH! I can’t squeal about this enough. Will this be a saguek? EVEN BETTER. Jo In Sung sporting long locks = DAEBAK! Ah Frozen Flower memories ~ LOL. I love Ha Ji Won. I love Jo In Sung ;). Please let this happen. I hope this time he doesn’t kill the girl. Hahaha.

Personally, I think that Jo In Sung is way more awesome than Binnie and I am beyond ecstatic that JIS & HJW will pair up again! “What happened in Bali” got me hooked on Korean dramas and I have since never looked back. Oh pleaaaaasssse DRAMA GODS, let it come true!!!!!!!!

Freaking awesomeness!! My mom will be happy to hear this good news… She loves HJW and JIS in bali although she’s not a big korean drama follower these two are exceptional. And I have to admit HJW and JIS taught me what screen chemistry is all about… Thanks Ms. K for the loud beep… So its going to be a Period drama??? I really hope its modern drama…

My daughter will be deliriously ecstatic if this pairing again of Zo In Sung and Ha Ji Won will push through. We feel poignantly nostalgic everytime we listen to the two songs from What Happened In Bali in her Ipod which is connected in her car when we travel. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.

The Directoro of Damo and the pairing of Bali…considering how both of those dramas ended if they do reunite why do I feel it’s going to be another tragedy

OH MY GOD PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE.

I have dreamed of their reuniting since Bali (the chemistry was insane), to say nothing of seeing JIS on the small screen. TPTB, if you do this, I promise to build an altar out of my kdrama DVDs and sacrifice emo secondary males and evil secondary girls on it forever.

Now you must excuse me, I am off to rewatch parts of Bali.

Does anyone know if The King supposed to be a modern or historical series?

  Modern. The synopsis from Hancinema says “A black comic and mellow drama about a man and a woman from the greatest families in the North and South, building their love over prejudice against each other and obstacles in life.”

ZOMG if this happens for reals, I really, really hope that they have a something not like WHIB. Months later, that drama still messes with my head.

  You also have a valid point there.
  We would almost be guaranteed a happy ending, or the citizens would storm the MBC castle.
  
  I would also hope to see lots of little nods to WHIB throughout.
  I may go back and ~~suffer through~~ watch Bali again.

What happened in Bali was one addicting drama ride. Jo In Sung and Ha Ji Won’s chemistry in that drama was hotter than hell. I hope this rumor is true because its about time the two pair up again and I’m getting on that ship whether it floats or sink.

On Ha Ji Won’s Soompi forum they are saying that “The King” is a rom-com and is been written by the Hong sisters.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please Don’t do this to me!!!!!!!!

I always have night mare only to read WHIB’s title. That was really sad & madness story. I don’t want that kind of drama again, especially when the director was Damo’s director(that’s a good drama but made me cry a lot in the end) and then BV’s writer………..BIG NO NO NO!!!!!!
I still hope to see Ha and Binnie together even though Ha and Binnie’s chemistry was a pale imitation ( I miss Joo Won & Ra Im)
However, if JIS and Ha will be work together again, i hope it will be happy ending story.
