Omodramaland's 'Can't Contain The Feels' Corner - My Hopes/Expectations for 2016

If I had a say in dramaland 2016....




2016 has really started off with a boom, at least for me. I have so many dramas I want to watch I think I'll have to turn into a cat that has 9 lives just so I can end up finishing all of them X_x oh the life of a drama-fan is so hard D'x
But that aside, despite the fact that we've already gotten stellar casts in both airing and upcoming dramas, I decided that it'd be a fun to write about what actors and actresses I'd like to see do something in 2016 (especially since there are a handful of people that we haven't seen in A. VERY. LONG. TIME. -sigh- yes, I'm looking at you Yoon Eun Hye <_< I think it's time to get out of your cave now...no? Okay T_T). With that said, this is purely my own opinion, so the things I'll write below are in no way confirmed as real or based off of any kind of fact. I'm just playing around with the thought that "if I had a say in this, I'd make xxx return to dramaland in..." 
I guess this can be seen as a bit of a fan-casting too. Well, I hope you'll enjoy x'D

[UPDATE] [NEWS] Park Ki Woong Chooses Monster as his Return Drama


CHECK UPDATE DOWN BELOW!
That's right ladies and gentleman, my husband is back! -cough- okay, he's not technically my husband (obviously)...we're not married yet, just engaged XD, (Don't worry, we can share ~) 
For those of you who don't know Park Ki Woong rose to fame through Bridal Mask, alongside Joo Won, sadly he was already in his late 20's when the drama aired so he had to leave for the mandatory military service a year or so after. However, now he is finally back and I can't even begin to express how happy I am! He is not the first "kdrama hubby" that I've watched leave and return from the army (Lee Tae Sung was the first), so I guess his absence didn't hit me AS hard as I thought it would, but nevertheless I started to wonder what his next project would be upon return and turns out, the next project is already settled xD this man doesn't seem to know what the word "vacation" means as he's stil not officially discharged from the military and he's already jumped on-board MBC's upcoming melodrama Monster
The drama will a 50-episodes melodrama about a man who sets out to get revenge on societies elite. As the drama was formerly known as "Tyrant" I'm guessing some dark, corrupted shit to go down in this one. Park Ki Woong's character is probably the one who caught my attention the most: According to Dramabeans he will be playing a character who is cast aside by his family because he’s born to a concubine (er, I suppose that just means non-wife in this day and age, but chaebol clans do tend to mimic royalty), and he grows up with his mother in America. He comes back and successfully reclaims his position, evicting the opposition that had cut him out, and then transforms into a cold-hearted, dissipated tyrant. Hm, so perhaps he’s the one the former title Tyrant referred to, though it’s entirely possible that with so many corrupt chaebols running around, it could be any of a number of them.
Starring Kang Ji Hwan, Jo Boa and now Park Ki Woong, Monster has quickly become one of my most anticipated dramas thus far! *_* I mean, if the amazing cast-list doesn't ring a "OMG THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE AMAZEBALLS-bell", then the fact that the script-writers are the guys who wrote Empress Ki, Incarnation of Money and History of a Salaryman, certainly will! Random sidenote, but I love it when scriptwriters decide to cast the same actors in their dramas, apparently they were also impressed by Kang Ji Hwan's acting in Incarnation of Money <3 
Monster has yet to cast the leading lady, but I doubt they'll mess it up with a stellar cast thus far! (But never say never I guess...I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Yoon Eun Hye, because you know....she hasn't done anything since 2013...it might be time to come back....hm? <_<) 
Anyways, this is definitely Park Ki Woong's grand return so you can be sure I'll spam more posts about this drama when more information comes out mwahaha.

UPDATE: Sung Yuri will be playing the main female. Hell yes!! Another grand return since her last drama, which aired in 2013. What else can I say? The cast-list blows my mind! *_*

[NEWS] Dramaland News 16th-24th january

What's new in dramaland?


Seeing how a ton of information have come out in dramaland recently, I decided that, instead of doing everything separately I'll write down the biggest headlines in one blogpost and talk a little about each one of them.


On the 16th of january, Mainland China announced that they'd be doing a sequel to the very popular historical drama Legend of Zhen Huan 後宮甄嬛傳. The drama will be named  Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace <后宮如懿傳, It's based on the novel by author Liu Lianzi who also wrote the novel that was used for the adaption of Legend of Zhen Huan. The drama will be set during the Qing Dynasty and will tell the story of Lady Ulanara, who was originally a concubine of the Qianlong Emperor, but who eventually got promoted to Empress after the death of his first empress. Besides Zhou Xun, who will be playing Empress Ulanara, the cast-list is still up in the air. 
I've seen Legend of Zhen Huan, so I think it'll be interesting to see a sequel, and find out about this Lady Ulanara, I've seen a few chinese historicals and one thing I can say is that it seems like China knows what they're doing when it comes to historicals, With that said, I'm anticipating more information about this drama xP

Another big headline was that Lee Min Ho got an offer to star in the new romance comedy drama, written by the the author of My love from Another Star. YES. IT ALREADY SOUNDS AMAZING. To make it even better, the guy who made City Hunter will direct the drama. YES. DOUBLE COMBO! Not much is known about the plot, and it seems like this drama won't air before summer, so we still have time to find out about all the juicy details, but this is definitely to be considered a good start. I hope Lee Min Ho accepts the offer. Honestly, it would be dumb not to, but yeah. He needs to do another drama before his army enlistment! That's all I'm saying.

-Drools- how can SIG be so good looking? It's a freaking crime! Dx
Last but not least, Seo In Guk and Girls Generation's Soo Young got cast for OCN's upcoming comedy police-detective drama titled 38 Police Squad. The drama will be about 'the joining of Seoul City Hall's special task force and con artists. They will use their skills of deception in order to catch cheating taxpayers' of their delinquent taxes'. Hm, personally, the story sounds kind of meh, but if Seo In Guk is in it...I guess I'll have to check it out (lolz). I do hope he accepts the role, espeically since he is also due to enlist this year -sob- and I like Soo Young, I've seen her act before and I can actually see the two of them play alongside each other. I'm curious to see who else they'll cast, so I'll definitely update this as more information comes out xP

Are you guys excited for any of these dramas, or perhaps all three of them? xP Leave a comment down below and let me know! :)

[UPDATE2] [NEWS] Ji Soo and IU confirmed for Bu Bu Jing Xin's K-drama Remake 'Moon Lovers'

The cast is slowly but finally getting confirmed ~



UPDATE(S) DOWN BELOW!
Yes, It seems like the cast for the very anticipated Korean remake of the popular Chinese historical Bu Bu Jing Xin is finally getting confirmed. It has been revealed that IU (Producers) has accepted the role of the female lead, and Ji Soo (Angry Mom, Sassy Go Go) is also confirmed for one of the main roles. Hong Jong Hyun, Kang Ha Neul, Nam Joo Hyuk and Byun Baek Hyun (EXO) however, are still considering their offers.
Some people have noticed that Lee Joon Gi has been removed from the cast-list on Mydramalist, which has caused a bit of commotion on the website, as people are starting to wonder if he's rejected the offer or if he was removed by mistake. I'm kind of worried about whether or not Lee Joon Gi will accept the role, now that IU is confirmed as the main lead. Nothing against IU, but I just don't like her acting and I just don't see her in a drama with Lee Joon Gi. I know she was in the producers alongside a famous name like Kim Soo Hyun, but ...I just can't.., so in a way I'm kind of unsure how I feel about this entire thing. But I won't draw any conclusions just yet, since nothing about Lee Joon Gi has been confirmed, and especially since there is still plenty of time for changes, as the drama is scheduled to start filming in February, and the airing date is set for September. I am still very, very excited about the story and that Ji Soo will be in it! *_* So will IU prevent me from checking it out? No way! But I will keep my fingers crossed that she won't make me head-desk too often through-out the drama. Then again, the producer team were the guys that made That, Winter the Wind Blows, and that drama was amazing.... hm...I guess my feels are a mess at the moment xD

UPDATE: Lee Joon Gi is confirmed as the main lead alongside IU. Filming will start on the 20th of this month, so it's only a matter of days before the rest of the cast is confirmed as well.
UPDATE2: Aaaaand I was right. Less than 24 hours after Lee Joon Gi was confirmed to the cast-list, it got announced that the entire cast has been set and here are the results:
Lee Joon Gi, IU, Kang Ha Neul, Ji Soo, Nam Joo Hyuk, Hong Jong Hyun and EXO's Byun Baekhyun! According to Allkpop, the roles have already been announced as well, Kang Ha Neul will play the role of "Wang Wook", the 8th prince. Hong Jong Hyun will play "Wang Yo", the 3rd prince, and Baek hyun will be "Wang Eun", the 10th prince. Nam Joo Hyuk, will play as "Wang Ook", the 13th prince, Ji Soo will be "Wang Jung", the 14th prince and last but not least, Lee Joon Gi, will be playing the 4th prince. Phew that's a lot of princes, but I'm so excited for this drama! (Yes, not even IU can ruin the hype for me) xD I have yet to watch Bu Bu Jing Xin but I'll definitely make sure to finish it before 'Moon Lovers' starts airing.

Are you guys excited about the final cast? Have you seen the original Chinese drama, or will you check out the korean remake first? :)

[NEWS] My top 6 new dramas (January Edition)

My top 6 new dramas (January Edition)



It's January, one of the months I've looked forward to the most in dramaland. There are tons of new dramas to look out for this month, and because we've now officially started 2016, I've decided to count down my top 6 dramas this time :)
Well, then ~ let's see what the start of 2016 has to offer, shall we?

[NEWS] Park Seo Joon, Go Ara and Park Hyung Shik Are Offered Roles In New Historical Drama! (UPDATED!)

New historical drama Hwarang in the making!



CHECK ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR UPDATED INFORMATION! 
Earlier today it was revealed that Park Seo Joon, Go Ara and Park Hyung Shik have gotten offers to starr in a new sageuk drama named Hwarang which will be a drama about the young and beautiful Hwarang warriors of the Silla dynasty (57 BC – 935 AD).
Park Hyung Shik has been offered the role of King Jinheung, who ruled Silla from 540 to 576 during the Three Kingdoms period. He took the throne at 15 and became one of Silla’s greatest kings, responsible for vastly expanding its territory and establishing the basis for the later unification of the kingdoms.

This drama seems to have some connection to Kdrama Queen Seon Duk, as Lady Mishil (from Queen Seon Duk) was one of King Jinheung's consorts, and the king himself was the greatgrandfather of queen Seon Duk. Although nothing else has been confirmed so we'll have to wait and see how much the two dramas will touch story-wise. Nothing on Go Ara's and Park Seo Joon's characters have been revealed either.
The production will be the in hands of the Oh Boy Pictures, the people who were behind tvN's Flower Boy dramas (Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Shut Up: Flower Boy Band and Flower Boy Next Door).

The new drama comes from Oh Boy Pictures, the production company behind the Flower Boy dramas on tvN (Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, Flower Boy Next Door). This time it seems that the production team will do something in the flower-boy theme again, but in a historical setting as the Hwarang were an elite group of highly educated young aristocratic warriors founded in the 6th century who were known for their beauty. Their name translates to: hwa = flower, rang = boy. Which basically makes them the original flower boys.

Not much else has been revealed, the airing time is still up in the air as well, but according to rumours the drama is set to start filming in december for an perhaps early janaury premier.
More information will come later on when I find out more about the plot and who has/hasn't accepted the role.

Are you guys exicted for a new "Flower Boy" series? :D I think it sounds very fresh and interesting and I hope all three of the actors will accept the roles >_< it'd be awesome! On a sidenote, woah, Park Seo Joon sure is on a roll ~ he's getting offers left and right. Go, go Park Seo Joon! xD

UPDATE: Park Hyung Shik has accepted the role while Park Seo Joon and Go Ara are still considering!

[NEWS] Joo Won Confirmed as Main Lead in a Chinese Drama

One role after the other - Joo Won is going hardcore in 2015


That's right guys! Yong Pal ended just a month ago and Joo Won is already confirmed for a new project, This time he'll take on the lead role as Cheon Xi in the Chinese upcoming drama Love Express.
Nothing has been confirmed about the plot other than that it will be filmed in Shanghai among other places and that it'll star Deng JiajiaZhenyun QiaoShiu Hung Hui, and Monica Mu.

Are you looking forward to more Joo Won before the year ends? :)
I love this actor to death, he's really super talented, but I'm kind of worried that he might be over-working himself. I remember that he did an interview while he was filming Yong Pal and that he confessed that he couldn't sleep and felt extreme pressure for the drama to get good ratings and therefor I would've rather had him rest a bit before taking on a new project this quickly. However, I do understand that he is running out of time before his army enlistment, which is super depressing but it can't be avoided :/ But honestly, I don't really think he should be that worried. He's already claimed a spot in people's top actor list, he's famous in both Korea and Worldwide, especially after his hit drama Bridal Mask. But yeah, kdramaland is getting tougher and tougher competition, especially with new rising actors showing up left and right. So yeah, I'm a bit torn how I feel about this new project. I do want to see him in more dramas but I also don't want him to be dead before the military service even starts T_T Am I the only one who feels this way? Perhaps I'm just being over dramatic, I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a grown up and mature man, he can take care of himself! >_< anyhow, hwaiting on your new drama Joo Won! :D

[NEWS] Korean Drama Madame Antoine Reveals Cast and Plot Details!

Marie Antoinette in a psychological setting?



Upcoming Kdrama Madame Antoine has finally revelaed it's main cast! It'll be Sung Joon (Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, High Society) and Han Ye Seul (Birth of a Beauty) playing the two main leads in this new psychological romance drama.

A quick synopsis:
Ko Hye-Rim (Han Ye-Seul) is a famous fortune-teller. She is known as "Madame Antoine" and insists that she is spiritually connected to Marie Antoinette, but that part is a lie. She is able to see through people's stories due to her intelligence and keen sense. She dreams of having love in a romantic film. Ko Hye-Rim then takes part in a psychological test project conducted by psychotherapist Choi Soo-Hyun (Sung Joon). His goal is to prove that true love does not exist. Coincidentally, the name for his psychological treatment center is Madame Antoine. - Mydramalist

The drama is set to start airing on November 27th.

I've been following Sung Joon's drama for quite some time now and even if this plot doesn't sound super original, it kind of feels like it'll still be a fun ride, so I will check it out. What about you guys? Are you exited for Sung Joon's and Han Ye Seul's new project?

[NEWS] The Result of Omodramaland's Drama Poll (October Edition)

Poll Results Yo ~

Hellu guys ~
It's already been a month since the last result post, and this time, it seems like the results will be a tiny bit different. The reason for that is because it turned out that right after I put up the poll, the kdrama Descendant of the Sun got postponed from its October-November schedule to february-March 2016...sigh....and that wouldn't have been so important if it hadn't been for the fact that that drama won this month. But worry not, I've decided to just put it on the side for now, and then once it does start airing I'll ask you guys whether you want me to recap or review it.

Since that turned out to be the case, I've decided to focus on the other drama that came in second place, with 30% of the votes, which was Six Flying Dragons!!! 


Yaaay XD Thanks for voting for this drama! I'm personally very happy this drama came second, since I'm already watching it and I'm hooked! I FREAKING LOVE it to death (Yes capslock was needed! *_*). So far it's one of my favorites of 2015, if not THE favorite drama of 2015 xD  It is awesome, the OST blows my mind, the characters are super complex, the story is gripping, the action scenes are among the best I've seen in my life (Ddang Sae has a freaking sword dance going on and gaaaah feeels <3) it's psychological, it's sad, it's funny, it's just.....amazing you guys, you have to check it out! I'll definitely do my best to spamm it enough and hopefully convince you all to check out this Saeguk Greatness! Mwahahaha XD In order to do that, and because I just have so much I want to talk about, analyze and fangirl over (especially the complex anti-hero main character.  My wish came true guy! Lee Bang Won not a nice guy! He has a pretty twisted mind, ...he does some questionable things) but I won't get into that now, you'll have enough time to read about it in my future posts, as I've decided that I'll, instead of recaps or reviews, I'll do analysis-posts of every episode. That way, you guys will be able to join the discussion if you wish, and I'll just fangirl and rant about what I liked and disliked etc. It will contain spoilers, just so you know. So it would be good if those of you who want to join the discussion have watched the episode before reading every post, but it's your choice xP Since the drama is so long and so much stuff happens in every single episode I thought that a first impression post wouldn't do it justice, neither would a review. It would either be too short and I'd not be able to ay everything I want, or it'd be too long and I'll still not be able to write downe everything I feel like needs to be said about the characters and the story. I already have so much I want to say and it's only the 5th episode...so yeah.. xD 
Does that sound like a good idea? I could do a final review of it too if you guys wish that. So yeah, do let me know in a comment below xP. Once again, thank you all for voting for your favorites, and I'll see you guys next time ~

I'M BACK ~ !!!! (Updates and News)


EXAMS ARE OVER! AND I'M ALIVE AND WELL ~ somehow ._.




(UPDATE On Yoo Seung Ho's Kdrama 'Imaginary Cat' down below!)

YES! I made it guys! I survived the tough exams X_X Law is seriously hell! Hell! Sorry if any one of you is a law-student but law made me go through mental breakdowns. It's seriously difficult as....fudge! (Gotta minimize the swearing here, I'm an adult so ...yeah...<_<...Fudge!) But I managed to survive, so it's all good. Now that we have that boring stuff out of the way, let's talk about the goodie goodies that I've missed out on ~
I won't go into too much detail about everything and every news that I've missed, so I've decided to just briefly mention some of the major headline news that I consider awesome that happened while I was away. But before I do that I just have to say that I finished Oh My Ghost! and Yong Pal, so reviews on those two will be up in the begining of next week ~ look forward to that ;) and now on to the juicy news ~


The first 2015 Korean Drama Awards were announce and the winner of the big daesang award (basically the biggest award you can win as an actor) was Kim Soo Hyun (Producers)
To name a few thers: Yong Pal won best script, EXO's Chanyeol (EXO Next Door) won the new actor award, Lee Joon (Heard it through the grapevine) won excellent actor award (YES BABY!!!) and the drama OST award went to the OST for Kill Me Heal Me. Now I saw a lot of comments about how people were very disappointed and angry at the fact that Kim Soo Hyun won the daesang award and not Ji Sung (Kill Me Heal Me), and while I have to say, I'm also very sad about that, I think Ji Sung did an outstanding job with his role (roles!!!) and Kill Me Heal Me is one of my favorite dramas of 2015, but I honestly felt very bad for Kim Soo Hyun when I read all those comments. Some people just expressed their disappointment but others were plain rude O_o I got shocked! I can understand that people feel salty that the award didn't go to the person they hoped for, but shouldn't we still respect the winner? Why hate the actor? It's not like Kim Soo Hyun voted for himself.
While Producers wasn't really my favorite cup of tea of this year, I still don't see why some people feel the need to bash the actor for winng. I was sad too, but this is not the end you guys! SBS and KBS will have their award shows too, so let's keep your fingers crossed that Ji Sung will win "best actor" award there! As for Yong Pal winning best script...hm...well, I won't go into too much detail on my opinions here, I'll save it for the review xD haha. Now you'll have to read that one to figure out how I felt! HAH! xD I'm so evil. I'm making you guys read multiple blog posts >:D As for Chanyeol winning best new actor award, hm...I'm not really surprised since the mini/webdrama did well, and while I haven't personally seen it, people have said the EXO members did a great job so yeah, congrats Chanyeol! xD Source: Koreaboo

UPDATE: Imaginary Cat will be an eight episodes long drama and will start airing in late November on MBC Every1. It means that Yoo Seung Ho has accepted both the role in Imaginary Cat and in Remember! He will start filming for Remember as soon as Imaginary Cat ends!
The next big news (and my personal favorite)Is that smexy child...NO now he's officially an Adult Actor- Yoo Seung Ho is back in dramaland! After finishing his military service he's filmed two movies and is now finally getting ready to step back on to the small screen as he's been offered two very interesting, yet very different roles in the dramas: Imaginary Cat and Remember. In Imaginary Cat
He'll be playing the role of a young man named Hyun Jong-Hyun, a webtoon writer and part-time seller at a bookstore. He's always dreamed of working as a webtoon writer, but has stumbles upon various difficulties due to his stubborn and self-centered personality. He also has a cat named Boggil. He first met his cat on the street on a rainy day. Since then, they have lived together and Hyun Jong-Hyun only opens his mind to Boggil. The first impression I got was that it sounds like a very odd yet fresh plot. I'm very curious! I like cats and I like Yoo Seung Ho so we shall see how this will work out xD
As for Remember, it is a law, political, psychology, drama about a man named Seo Woo Bin who has the condition of hyperthymesia, which allows him to remember almost every day in perfect detail. To prove the innocence of his father, Woo Bin becomes a lawyer. He struggles to prove his father's innocence, but he begins to lose his memory due to Alzheimer’s.
This story is kind of the exact opposite of the cute cat one o_o I really like that he went for two very different dramas. I'm very excited for both of them! I'm leaning more towards Remember, I'm just a sucker for angsty and dark plots xD Source: Mydramalist

Next up:
We all remember the smexy talented actor Ji Chang Wook right? Whether you're a new fan who discovered this glorious man in Healer or Empress Ki, or if you've known him since his early Warrior Baek Dong Soo days, there is no exaggeration in my tone when I say that this guy, rocked the past few drama years and he keeps surprising me with every new project he picks up. The saying "Everything he touches turns to gold" applies for this man - literally! And I'm very excited to announce that he has touched yet another project! He will be starring in the upcoming chinese-korean drama My Male God. Aside from the name and that he'll be filming in both China and South Korea, we don't really know anything about the plot. Which makes me a bit sad, I want to have at least a sentece about the plot xD Give me something...anything!!! Oww well ._. guess it's too early guys. I'll write a new post on this one as well as soon as I find confirmed information about the plot. For now, it seems like the plot is left up for our imagination haha xD Source: Allkpop

Last but not least, Lee Joon Gi, who just recently wrapped up the drama The Scholar Who Walks At Night has picked up another project, and this time it's a Hollywood movie! YES! That is correct! He's been offered a role alongside Milla Jovovich to starr in the movie 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' and judging by the actress comment that she uploaded along with a picture of herself and the actor, he's been impressing and stealing hearts of women left and right. Milla Jovovich has commented "Working for the last few nights with the incredible 3rd Dan Tae Kwon Do master and actor Joon Gi @actor_jg has been insanely fun and so inspiring. Makes me want to go back to class and brush up on my martial arts skills!"
Isn't that adorable? <3 I don't really know if Lee Joon Gi has a big role in the movie, maybe he's just a supporting role hm.., either way, I'm looking forward to seeing Lee Joon Gi kick ass in Hollywood *_* I hope the movie will be shown in cinemas! Woop woop!
http://www.allkpop.com/article/2015/10/lee-jun-ki-to-make-his-hollywood-debut-in-resident-evil-the-final-chapter (link for anyone who wants to see the picture and the original comment Milla made ^^*)

Hm..I think that's it. I'm very happy to be back and I hope I hope you're ready to get spammed by reviews, recaps and more news xD Let me know in the comments below on what you think or feel about these news?

Remember keeps adding up famous names to its starring list!



It has been revealed that Park Min Young (Healer, City Hunter) and Park Sung Woong (Hidden Identity) are the next big names to join Yoo Seung Ho for the exciting kdrama psychological thriller Remember.
Park Sung Woong will play a man who becomes a lawyer for loan shark mobsters in order to escape a life of extreme poverty. But he later rises above that life and becomes a lawyer at a law firm that saves people’s lives. He’s a dogged, resourceful character who always accomplishes what he sets out to do, and is a survivor with animal instincts.
He and Yoo Seung Ho's character will meet while working on the main character's father's case, and will both get swept up in the larger conspiracy at play. Park Sung Woong's character is also carrying a secret that Yoo Seung Ho doesn’t know, which will greatly affect the case.
Park Min Young will also play the role of a lawyer, someone who gradually grows as a person and becomes mature.

[NEWS] Korean Remake of Chinese Hit Drama 'Scarlet Heart ' is in the Making!

New High Budget TimeTraveling drama to hit Kdramaland!

That's right guys! Chinese Classic Scarlet Heart is getting a Korean remake! From China to Japan, from South Korea to Taiwan, and so on, remakes are happening left and right but who can complain? Great stories are great stories! This time, the situation is even better since Hollywood's Universal Studios has been reported to have invested a lot of money into the production of this upcoming Korean Drama. This is quite unusual but with the popularity of kdrama My love From Another Star it seems like Hollywood has taken an interest in the Asian drama world. Worry not, they've just invested money into the project, but the production will be in the exellent hands of director Kim Kyu Tae, who directed the dramas 'It's Okay, That's Love, IRIS and That Winter the Wind Blows. It's epic isn't it? And the budget has been estimated to be almost 13 million US dollars! Woah, high quality drama indeed!

For those of you who are not familiar with Scarlet Heart (Also known as 'Startling By Each Step' or Bu Bu Jing Xin), It's a timetraveling historical drama about a woman from the 21st century who due to unexplainable turn of events ends up traveling back in time to the Qing Dynasty China, where she gets involved in the royal palace political and romance intrigues. The Korean remake is said to take place in the Joseon era but nothing else about the plot has been revealed. The drama will be named Moon Lovers, also reported as Lovers of the Moon and is set to start filming sometime next year.

Ahhh ~ a new time traveling historical drama :'3 I'm a sucker for those. Are you guys excited? Have you seen 'Scarlet Heart'? I have, and it was pretty good, I think my biggest issue with that one was the budget or what seemed like a low budget production, so I'm very happy that the story, which was quite interesting, is now getting a high budget remake! Also, do you have a dreamcast in mind? I'm kind of hoping that someone cute like Baek Jin Hee or Park Shin Hye gets cast as the female lead. I think, unless they change the character, they would fit the role pretty well ^^
