The K-drama remake of Goong (Princess Hours) which has been discussed for a new years now is for sure a go this year, with confirmed production in 2024. Perhaps it’s not a remake but another adaptation of the source manhwa itself so there definitely is room to do something unique rather than a beat-for-beat but updated for this current gen aesthetic redux. K-netizens sound super excited but its more for the casting clamor at this point, I can see excitement drop if the leads cast aren’t going to generate buzz. There are five actors and five actresses that are all excellent choices being discussed for the role of Crown Prince Lee Shin and high school Princess Bride Shin Chae Kyung. Lee Do Hyun and Kim Yoo Jung are trending highest in the discussion pool and they worked together in Clean with Passion for Now but as siblings haha. If they do get cast here it will be the second time Lee Do Hyun and his female lead went from onscreen siblings to OTP. Other stars the fans want are Lee Jae Wook, Cha Eun Woo, Kim Young Dae, and Moon Sang Min for the male lead and Kim So Hyun, Shin Ye Eun, Go Yoon Jung, and Kim Hye Yoon as the female lead.

Ji Sung’s unfortunate hairstyle in Protect the Boss is just that – unfortunate. What’s worse is that it’s completely unnecessary. Does that hairstyle actually enhance his character’s unique personality traits? Of course not. Ji Sung is owning the role of … Continue reading
