Two characters in historical-style attire.

I really like this casting of the two young leads and feel like with the lack of liuliang baggage this could be a sleeper hit.

So this is a step up in all ways for me and I hope he accepts the role. Yeo Jin Gu is up for the male lead of K-drama Serenade (Saraenaedae) and if that drama title sounds familiar it’s the sageuk that was in talks with Jo Byung Gyu and he ended up not signing on for. It’s a lighter … Continue reading →
