CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa in Talks for New tvN Drama “The Three Musketeers”

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

CNBLUE member and actor Jung Yong Hwa may possibly join the cast of new tvN mini series titled “The Three Musketeers.”

On May 23, a representative of the drama revealed the current situation, stating that Jung Yong Hwa has not officially confirmed his casting in the mini series.

The production company of “The Three Musketeers,” JS Pictures stated, “It is true that there was a meeting with Jung Yong Hwa to discuss the casting. However, because he is a Hallyu star, there are many adjustments to be made with his schedule. It is too early to say that anything has been confirmed.”

The mini series is written by Song Jae Jung, the scriptwriter of “Queen In Hyun’s Man” as well as “Nine,” and will be directed by Kim Byung Soo. “The Three Musketeers” is a historical drama, set during the Joseon Dynasty. It is drawing attention, as it is expected to be a big-scale project with a reported investment of 10 billion KRW (~$10 million USD) in production costs.

They can try...

It's good if you're ok with the re-telling. I'd say it's the actors that make up for the weird plotlines.

We got married cameo?

If they cast SeoHyun from SNSD (girls' generation) this would be an instant hit. I secretly want to see him and her together.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

yeah naaaaaaaahhhhhh

this could be really fun but they gotta get the casting right and yonghwa is just not gonna do it for me.

Yess even though his acting is idk but I wanna see him in historically incorrect leather pants, and a sexy mustache.

Nine + Queen Inhyun's Man are certainly 2 of my favourite dramas. And tvN in general is always pretty spot on!
Apparently this project is meant for 3 years (3 seasons), each with 12 episodes.
I hope he takes it, I need some weekly Yonghwa dose.

wow, i wonder who in korea is able to commit themselves for such a project. tho tvn is doing like the 13th season of rude miss youngjae so probably they'll be able to handle it and get some decent actors

i like younghwa but is he able to pull it off?

[marsinblue.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised at the format but apparently it's part of tvN's strategy for higher quality shows or so. Probably also a healthier way of filming for staff and cast.

I'm a bit hesitant since on one side YH has quite a busy sched and on another I'm not sure his acting chops will be able to pull him through in terms of public opinion. I however will definitely enjoy watching him lol (there's a reason it's called a *bias*).

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

I admire tvN honestly, I watch every drama their air, even daily sitcoms haha.

I hope he's not the lead then. I will enjoy him too! I enjoy watching my favorite people in dramas even if they suck, just for the pretty ;)

I think Lee Jin Wook (yay!) is lead. Also hoping Kim Ji Suk confirms his casting. Since acting is not his forte, I always feel YH would be better off doing a comic relief side character since he is so playful by nature. Maybe this will be it. Till now he always seems to have gone for the angsty/emo/serious roles otl.

Watching Yonghwa's dramas for the pretty is not even a joke, he somehow manages to look 10 times more dashing and charismatic when in-character. The small screen lenses love him.

apparently they're also casting lee jinwook and kim ji suk as part of the drama

'The Three Musketeers' is the work of 'Nine's director Kim Byung Soo and writer Song Jae Jung, and takes place during the Joseon Dynasty. The drama portrays the adventure of Park Dahl Hyang who comes from a poor family but of noble birth and tries out for the military force, joining the Crown Prince Sohyeon and his warrior guards Heo Seung Po, Ahn Min Suh, and Kang Won Do.

heard he's offered to play the crown prince

Yaaaaas OP for that gif! I loved the show & can't wait for the 2nd season!

The Three Musketeers plot is a plot I can always watch. Exactly like Robin Hood-like dramas. So I'm really excited for this :D
Also very interested in how they will execute the three-season-plan. Has there been any planned multiseason dramas before? Not like Vampire Prosecutor, where they decided on a second season after the success of the first, but where multiple seasons is sth the writer/director decides from the beginning?
