Choi Jin Hyuk is currently considering a role in MBC′s new drama Pride and Prejudice.

On September 16, Choi Jin Hyuk′s agency, Red Brick House, told Newsen, "Choi Jin Hyuk recently received the offer to appear in Pride and Prejudice and is positively considering it." The agency added, "His participation has not been confirmed yet."


"As there′s still some time before his military enlistment, he′s looking into his next project," added the agency. Choi Jin Hyuk canceled his acceptance to the police force on August 20. He has been automatically put on the list for active duty service.

The role Choi Jin Hyuk was offered is Goo Dong Chi, the chief prosecutor of the Incheon District Prosecutor′s Office. Kim Ah Joong has been named as his possible counterpart as junior examiner Han Yeol Moo. Attention is being poured to see if the two will join Pride and Prejudice.

Meanwhile, Pride and Prejudice is a love story about district attorneys fighting against a prideful world and a prejudiced prosecution. The drama will be directed by Kim Jin Min PD, who worked on Time Between Dog and Wolf, with the script writeten by Lee Hyun Joo, who also wrote School 2014.

It′ll follow The Night Watchman′s Journal in October.

Yes. Daniel Choi was being considered for the main lead. I'm guessing scheduling conflict.

This man really took gazillion of projects when he is rumored for the army since last year. I believe this will be his third?

BTW OP, did he wants to do active duty or was forced since he missed the deadline?

He's been rumored for the army only because he looks older than his actual age lol But yeah, since Gu Family Book, he's taken on Heirs, Emergency Couple, cameo-ed in Grandpa over Flowers, Fated to Love You and acted in The Divine Move. He's been a busy bee.

He was accepted for the conscripted policeman celeb PR unit, but he declined it a month ago to go active duty. I don't think he was forced to because he missed the deadline. He just chose not to. My guess is that he probably thought about it and decided to man up and enlist instead of serving the celeb unit which would have brought him a lot of criticism. I'm sure his agency, being owned by Jung Woo Sung, was probably like yeah ... no. ENLIST.

OH HELL YES.

My body is SO ready for a new Choi Jin Hyuk drama.

When I first this news I thought it was a k-adaption of Jane Austen's and was like SQUEE he'd be perfect for Bingley and maybe even Darcy. But then I read further and it was a lawyer drama. OK. IDC. I'm just glad he's the lead to a drama again. WHOO.

Apparently, his character is supposed to be cold (typical kdrama male lead), but with an intuitive 2nd sense in almost reading people's thoughts.

If this is the last drama he takes before enlisting, i'll take it. FTLY's poor usage of him left me wanting to see him in one more acting project before saying goodbye for two years. Thank goodness he's got stuff lined up before he goes.

I TOTALLY THOUGHT HE WOULD BE AN ADORABLE BINGLEY!!! Disappointed though that this is a lawyer drama...you would think that someone would be all over Mr.Darcy since he is rich, aloof, and insulting...the k-drama would write itself. (Also Jane Eyre...gosh that would be a masterpiece too.)

yeah, when you think about it. Romance in most K-dramas are basically a more fluffier and modern adaptation of Victoria era romances. You've got the cold, douchey, but hiding inner softie male lead, the witty or dumb heart of gold female lead, skinship is taking seriously, 2nd male lead syndrom love triangle, evil somebody - usually mom, and BAM! you pretty much have the basic plot to nearly every single Kdrama and Victoria era novel.

A K-drama Jane Austen Pride&Predjudice adapt needs to get done. ASAP. Either in modern times or Joseon era times. I'm down with it.

Smh @ them ripping off the title of JA's iconic novel

They could have had a modern adaptation or a Joseon version of P&P. Like Bride and Prejudice! I would totally watch!!
