On the latest episode of KBS Shin Dong-yup and Shin Bong-sun's Champagne, it was revealed that Jang Geun Suk turned down an offer to play the rich meanie Goo Joon Pyo in the hit drama series Boys Over Flowers!
Jang Geun Suk explained that, as he was looking at potential projects, the two dramas that really caught his eye were Beethoven Virus and Boys Over Flowers. He wanted to do both but felt that Beethoven Virus had more to offer as a learning experience since many senior actors would be appearing on the show. With that in mind, he got a role in Beethoven Virus, and the role of Goo Joon Pyo eventually went to Lee Minho.
Jang Geun Suk seems to have no regrets, and said that Lee Minho portrayed the character well and that, if Jang Geun Suk had taken on the role, it might not have been as good. Perhaps Jang saw the success of Boys Over Flowers and decided to make it up by starring in You're Beautiful, another show with a large teen fan base.

Date: 2009-12-23 06:09 am (UTC)I just wanted to post a go jun pyo gif
whatwhat
Date: 2009-12-23 06:10 am (UTC)He would have been so good as Gu Jun Pyo! I reallllly tried to like that other dude but ultimately found his performance disappointing.
Although, JGS was absolutely perfect as Tae Kyung in YB, and perhaps the character of Gu Jun Pyu is a bit too similar. If it's a choice between the two, I would rather have seen him as Tae Kyung than Jun Pyo. If that makes any sense at all...
But still. I am disappoint.
Re: whatwhat
Date: 2009-12-23 06:15 am (UTC)Yea the characters are similar and he did a great job with Tae Kyung, so he would of done a great job with Jun Pyo.
It would of made BOF even more addicting for me.
no subject
Date: 2009-12-23 06:14 am (UTC)but JGS... I honestly dont think he'd... nail the role. I mean, he did well in YB, but I think LMH acting as an arrogant bech was more convincing than JGS. (I just remember JGS having that same smirk in every episode. heh.)
no subject
Date: 2009-12-23 06:14 am (UTC)they offer GJP role but he want JIHOO sunbae role.at the end,he turn down BOF and accept bethoven virus.i'm glad because he's awesome in YAB.

Date: 2009-12-23 06:14 am (UTC)But imagine how crazy popular he would be if he took the Goo Junpyo role in addition to Hwang Taekyung

Date: 2009-12-23 09:03 am (UTC)I'd probably be twice as crazy over him. xD

Date: 2009-12-23 06:17 am (UTC)But I do love You're Beautiful and I think Geun Seok did a really, really good job as Taekyung in that--he was actually pretty perfect for that role.

Date: 2009-12-23 06:20 am (UTC)Perm would look odd on him though.
But, both dramas are pretty popular, so not much is lost, yes?

Date: 2009-12-23 08:52 am (UTC)Boys Over Flowers is the epitome of overratedness, with leads who failed to spark some chemistry, secondary characters who are all to bland and writing that's just too ridiculous. [indeed, i despise BOF with a passion. but i do applaud LMH for providing GJP with some substance!]
