SuJu’s Choi Si Won and Donghae to begin filming for their Taiwanese drama

After making an announcement almost two years ago, Taiwanese cable station ‘Gala Television‘ (GTV) has confirmed that filming for their new 13 episodes drama, “Glamorous Challenge“, will commence on March 31st! The Taiwanese drama attracted international ELF attention after it was revealed that Super Junior members Donghae and Choi Si Won were casted for it.

Since it’s been put on the backburner for two years, most of the original cast and director have left the production. But thankfully, Si Won and Donghae are still in it and they will be acting alongside Taiwanese actresses, Ivy Chen Yi Han (陳意涵) and Bianca Bai Xin Hui (白歆惠).

Niu Cheng Ze (鈕承澤) who was to have directed the drama, now becomes the producer while Feng Jia Rui (馮家瑞) will take over the director’s seat.

Despite their top A-list billing, both of them have asked to be treated like everyone else.

Though they’ll be staying in Taiwan for four months, they haven’t asked for any special requests, like staying in hotels and extra security.

“Glamorous Challenge” is a live-action adaptation of a Japanese manga called “Skip Beat“, and it’s about a girl, Kyoko (Ivy) who gets betrayed by her long-time boyfriend. In an attempt to get revenge, she debuts as a celebrity; the storyline unfolds with various romantic adventures and hijinks.

Si Won will be playing top star, Ren while Donghae is cast as popular singer, Sho.

Not really excited about this, how long for a Super Junior comeback then?
4 months for a 13 episodes drama is too much.

THIS. After f(x)'s comeback and the new boygroup's debut, who else is coming back? BoA's off in America, and SHINee, SNSD, and HoMin are gonna be off in Japan. I want dorky SuJu back with a new song.

i do look forward to it....

i just hope the extra months for the drama is more for Hae and Siwon's language studies/practice than anything else.

but don't SJM have one more song to promote if they still with the pattern of promotions. that would mean SJM would be there for at least another month. and according to twiter, right now SJM is staying in a community residence (apartments with a security guard) rather than a hotel. long term stay....wonder if that is where SiHae will continue to stay throughout the drama.

Ariel Lin left the drama?

I really thought that Kyoko1s character would suit her pretty well...

Excited!

[lovefizz.livejournal.com]

oh that's too bad, I was looking forward to her as Kyoko

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

excited for this mainly for donghae.

[pinefir.livejournal.com]

i hope sj doesn't come back until later this year or sth. i want this comeback to be complete and not halfassed unlike bonamana

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm excited for this. :)
SiHae <3

[lovefizz.livejournal.com]

actually didn't the news say originally Donghae was going to be Ren, I was all excited for that (lol except that he's too short to be Ren) but I guess Siwon will do too haha

[nalty7.livejournal.com]

No.Just NO!
The manga is awesome.Siwon can't portray Ren and Donghae can't portray Sho.I highly doubt if she can portray Kyoko.

[jplu.livejournal.com]

agreed. tbh i really don't want a drama adaptation of any kind, be it Japanese, Taiwanese, or Korean. there are just some manga that won't translate well into a drama and i think SB is one of it.

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

yayyy

i know how this will delay suju's 5th album comeback but i'm okay with that, so long as the 5th album is done with perfection. YA HEAR ME SME

and sihae is forever UNF

[alovesfood.livejournal.com]

Ooohhh I am kind of excited..I want to see siwon in a drama again and I have never seen hae :)

[noneq.livejournal.com]

4 months? that's too longgg...then their comeback will be around august/september...and then ss4 can only begins Jan 2012...sigh~the price I have to pay for liking a group so popular T-T

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

omg and why couldnt they get a Taiwanese/Chinese actor? -_- there are plenty of good ones out there who are underexposed

they're going to dub them over anyway with some terrible dubbing actor
and more than likely, they're going to ruin the drama

pissed off so much rn

[janri.livejournal.com]

So wait, they changed it? Fucking good. Donghae is perfect and should play Shotaro. Looking forward to scenes with him clad in leather for the Prisoner mv shooting.

[nellygea.livejournal.com]

I was waiting for this *O*!!!!

SIWON~~♥

[dream-raine.livejournal.com]

Taiwan is reallllllyyy lucky tho...I was never into Skip Beat, so am not on the Purists' side...but woohoo SiHae together will be cool! But omg, no 5jib till Aug? What about my SS4? And Heechul has no Donghae to control his little bitch fit....he should just take a holiday to Taiwan to be with Hae or something...

Have turned into a ramble......

[summer-concerto.livejournal.com]

I thought the female lead was gonna be Ariel Lin :(

[imanat.livejournal.com]

Ngl though, just watching it for Donghae, who is also going to be on Foresight next weeeek, so exciteeeed~
