MBC fusion sageuk “Night Watchman” has cast Jung Il Woo and TVXQ member, Jung Yunho.
Recently, as Lee Young Ae’s “Dae Jang Geum 2” is virtually in a state of miscarriage, the hidden card which will fill up this spot has been chosen to be “Night Watchman”, the drama labelled as “The Second Sunkyungkwan Scandal”.
A staff related to the drama revealed on May 26, “Jung Il Woo and Jung Yunho have been cast as the main leads for “Night Watchman”. After the casting for the female star who will be working with these 2 people has been concluded, they will enter into the full-fledged preparations starting next month.”
"Night Watchman" will be the next drama following "Triangle" which is currently being broadcast, and has the Joseon period as its background setting, about a story of a watchman who catches ghosts while patrolling during the curfew from 9pm till 5am in the dawn.

In particular, Jung Il Woo and Jung Yunho possess high popularity overseas and they are already starting to gain much attention from overseas broadcasters.
-info about Jung Il Woo omitted - Jung Yunho enjoys high recognition levels in Asia, Europe and America etc as a member of TVXQ, and this will be his first sageuk (period drama) after his debut.
Actor Jung Il Woo has been confirmed to star in MBC’s new Monday–Tuesday drama titled “The Night Watchman.”
Star K Entertainment, the actor’s agency, stated on May 26, “Jung Il Woo has taken on the male lead role for the upcoming ‘The Night Watchman.’ The role of a watchman that hasn’t been seen in any other dramas thus far is what captured his heart. Because it’s his first time coming across a character like this one, he is nervous, but also excited to show a different side. Please look forward to it.”
Jung Il Woo’s character in “The Night Watchman” will be a good looking yet failed prince who, one day, happens to receive the power to see ghosts and decides to become a night watchman.
In the actor’s most recent MBC drama “Golden Rainbow,” he acted as the role of a prosecutor and earned praises for his performance. You can look forward to the upcoming drama “The Night Watchman,” which will begin airing after the completion of “Triangle,” in late July.

Date: 2014-05-26 05:29 pm (UTC)I'll give this a try though. I think Ilwoo does well with fantasy stuff. I adored 49 Days, so if it is close to that, I'll give it a go.
I feel like Yunho does meh roles, so we'll see about him.
