Yoon Suk Ho's New Drama Shall Be T.O.P-less

T.O.P not taking part in the new drama, "Our Joyful Youth"



Yoon suk-ho’s new drama, “Our Joyful Youth,” has been postponed to next year.

“Our Joyful Youth” was originally planned to air after “Spy Month” which features Lee jin-wook and Han Ye-sul this September on KBS 2YV, but recently Yoon Suk-ho PD asked KBS that he may be excused from this year’s line-up.

On the 9th, during a conversation with TV Report, Yoon Suk-ho PD stated that “many things are making the drama on September to be difficult, postponement is necessary for a better quality.”


The scriptmaker of “Kyu-Wool-Yun-Ka” and “Ka-Eul-Dong-Hwa” made a good script for this drama, but free production such as casting and scene hunting has been difficult and thus he turned to postponement.

Yoon Suk-ho PD stated, “I don't want to make a sloppy drama chased on time and disappoint the viewers. I am not used to 쪽대본 (means scenario not finished by the start of the drama. The scenarios are built as the actors go on. So the actors don't really know the ending of the story until they get there) and I’m not ready for it.” One personnel hinted that Yoon Suk-ho may be under pressure since this is a comeback after 5 years.

Regarding to casting, Yoon suk-ho stated that he “met with many actors including T.O.P,” but since he is postponing he should have to make an entirely new casting. His goal for now is to start filming this fall and air the drama beginning of next year.

“Our Joyful Youth” is a drama which includes scenes from Japan. The drama is of the love life and the work life of an attractive fashion photographer, and it is to have Yoon Suk-ho’s unique touch of calm storytelling and scene beauties.

A T.O.P-less drama “Our Joyful Youth” by Yoon suk-ho to be postponed to next year

Regarding casting, Yoon Suk-ho PD stated, “I met with many actors and actresses such as T.O.P and Ko Ara and asked if they were interested in taking part. However, what is the most important for me is the ability to focus on the drama as well as his/her acting skills. I wanted T.O.P, but he has to parallel the drama with Japan promotions which does not guarantee 4 days out of 7; thus, I sadly had to take him out of the candidate list."

[meterstandkaart.livejournal.com]

Why are you making the meaning of TOPless so sad? :(

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

=(

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

and i miss his feather-like hair too =[

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I'm actually kinda happy as I think he should do couple more movies before appearing as a lead in some drama in order to learn more about acting and also to cement himself as a "serious" actor instead of as an "idol" actor.

iawtc

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

True that. Still, :(

[atenais-pala.livejournal.com]

I think the same.

[gigiettu.livejournal.com]

thinking about it I agree with you

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

I personally think he has definitely achieved that status of being recognized as a 'serious actor', not an idol actor anymore.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

but i do agree that he should do more movies & even a drama without being the lead first wouldn't be bad.

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

YEP and AMEN TO THAT

[my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com]

ok then watevia @ this drama. Not gonna watch it w/o TOP. BAHHYE.

[atenais-pala.livejournal.com]

I'm relieved to read that, because Yoon suk-ho's dramas are over dramatic, almost unreal.

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

Agreed. The dramas i've seen from him have been terrible. Or rather, not my style.

[atenais-pala.livejournal.com]

I use to be a dramaholic and his dramas are always full of, well, drama: terminal diseases, losts of memory, all cliché.

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that, then I guess this is good news.
Honestly I rather have his solo album.

[atenais-pala.livejournal.com]

Honestly I rather have his solo album.
This, THIS.

His dramas are too dramatic to my taste, all cliché.

[fruitchaat.livejournal.com]

Me too. I watched Autumns Tale solely for Won Bin and swore I would never subject myself to watching any of his other dramas after that. Lol.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

so Go Ara in this ?

[fruitchaat.livejournal.com]

Thank God. I have no desire to ever watch a Yoon Suk Ho drama ever again.

And TOP should stick to movies. He was amazing in Into The Fire, but because of that one role he's being lauded as this amazing actor when in reality allmof his previous roles were incredibly awkward. I think he needs to choose his next project very carefully and not just get sucked in by big names.

Don't be SAD ,
Im sure he is busy doing the next album with GD ,
8D


although I wanted him so badly to act in a Drama , mayba next time Tabi,
we will wait =)

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

This takes away a lot of sadness.
DON'T GET ME ESSITED!

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i didn't know his hair was that white. he looked so good even with that hairstyle. well, he looks good with any hairstyle.

[missbossybrat.livejournal.com]

+1
i approve of his grass haircut

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

What other dramas has this PD done?

I feel a lot better about this after reading all your comments.
It's for the best I guess.

OT but, everytime the Cabi song comes up, I always sing Tabi instead and when someone writes Tabi, I think of the song. I'm so stoophed, I know.

[chraka.livejournal.com]

Q_Q now I'm doomed to sing tabi forever too

As much as it is a bummer that TOP won't be on my TV twice a week, I'm kind of relieved that he won't be in a Yoon Seok-Ho drama. I've never understood the appeal of the "Endless Love" series. They're all way too melodramatic and cliched for my liking. Hopefully if he's looking for roles he'll make smart decisions and maybe just stick to movies (though I would love to see him as the male lead in a romantic comedy drama, just because it would be hilarious and adorable).
