Actor Yoo Seung Ho has officially been cast in the upcoming MBC drama ‘I Miss You‘.

The actor has been cast for the role of Kang Hyung Joon, an asset manager who becomes rivals with Han Jung Woo, played by Park Yoochun.

A drama representative explained the casting decision saying, “Yoo Seung Ho is being recognized by many for his maturation as an actor. We believe that he will play the character of Kang Hyung Joon, who is cold-hearted and hides his past pain behind his gentle image, better than anyone else.”

In the drama, Yoo Seung Ho plans to showcase acting skills that have further matured since his most recent appearances in other dramas.

Meanwhile, ‘I Miss You’ already cast Park Yoochun and Yoon Eun Hye as the protagonists to draw out the sad love story of the drama.

He's a better actor than Yoochun and Yoon Eunhye combined though, so that balances things out.

hahaha! I agree though your comment is harsh but that's the reality of this. I wondered why he agreed in the first place. Didn't he get a better offer elsewhere? There goes my dream of watching him in a good role. >.

he's the type to pick the role that he wants to act out regardless whether it's the lead role or not

I know, he's willing to play the second lead just like he did in WBDS but this role is clearly a lame one. I don't want him to look unhappy and devastated because of the first girl didn't see him. I mean, it will be nice if he play some way along the line like his role in God of Study -- strong, fierce, and not driven by a love of a woman...

He's a good actor so I'm excited to see if he can pull this off. I'm so excited for this drama. The little kid actors from Moon embraces the sun is in this too ~

i want to watch becuase of the people on it, i love YEH, YSH and the child actors, as well find yoochun very charming as an actor, but this drama production has been such a mess and badly handled, plus the plot is so vague.

ooh really? do elaborate? :)

i haven't really paid attention much but the cast is a really great reason to watch it.

it's just the way they are handling things, apparently yoochu'ns company forced mbc to take one of their actress as the second lead in order to have yoochun staring in the show, YEH signed only a week ago, the second male just got signed, when this drama was supposed to air this week

ohhhh, i see. but then, aren't most korean dramas like that though? i don't watch many of them, but i always hear how they're always changing things last minute to target a greater audience, watching netizen comments etc.

guess we should expect a "yoochun goes to hospital" post soon then D:

that is during live shots, aka when they start filming right before the episode airs, for example they finish filming on friday the episode that will be aired on monday, however pre-production and casting takes at least one month before the drama's premier and they normally have the first four/six episode sin the can before heading to live shooting, this drama since from day one has been hectic.

For the past couple of years, he's been in God of Study, Flames of Ambition, Warrior Baek Dongsoo, Operation Proposal, and recently, Arang and the Magistrate.

I guess Kim Soo Hyun turned down the role? wasn't he supposed to be in this?

not really, we was never rumored for this drama, chun jung myung was the one who was rumored to be on it.

seriously? I love Yoochun really, but for him to go against YSH? So far, he is the best actor among the three leads!!! Mannn, hopefully YEH and Yoochun doesn't get swallow by him... I wants to watch this for YSH (& Yoochun) but at the same time cringe just thinking about YEH.

He has finally stopped looking like a little boy. I feel like it's finally okay to start looking at him. :P

Anyway, Yoochun has been lead many times and has done decent since he's an idol and not an actor. Second lead a good position as well and it's better for an actor's experience to do many kinds of roles before lead roles.

From: [identity profile] tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com
But he has done lead roles before in 'God of Study', 'Warrior Baek Dong Soo' & 'Operation Proposal'. Plus, he is way way better than Yoochun as an actor in every single way possible. Though it is a good experience, but it is still a weird decision to cast him as a second lead to an idol actor -- he gonna overshadows both of the leads without a doubt. :P

I just can't with drama castings anymore. So is he going to be love interest to YEH cause it's awkward since he is 19 & she is like 30

wait he's 19 and is going to be playing an asset manager!?

my thoughts exactly

I admit he's a real good actor, and I've been following his dramas for awhile, but one has to admit this is a total casting disaster. I love the guy, but he still doesn't have the air of a mature adult. Good acting cant change that. Unless he can show off some stubbles and flesh out more, he'll be real unvonvincing imo. But who knows? Arang was a totally different drama...I prefer his movies more tbh.

and for those disparaging mr park yc...I think he's got real screen presence and this role doesn't seem to be beyond his capabilities. I think he and yeh would be real good in the drama. Was sorta hopeful for some stupid sappy drama before they added ysh....now I see a trainwreck which I cannot possibly avert my eyes from.

It will be real interesting to see if he can pull off being a mature adult.

I love Yoochun as an actor. I've been watching kdramas since 2000, and imo its either you can act or you can't. I've never seen anyone blow me away acting wise. I'm more worried there is not going to be a fleshed out story and I will bored outta my mind.

his role supposed to be 25 years old, YEH and Yoochun are 29 years old in the drama

he romanced an older woman in a drama before (seo woo, who is only a year younger than YEH).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

What a dumb decision. T.T With Seung Ho's talents, it will be a downgrade to his career. I like Yoochun and I think he's a good actor, but Seung Ho gonna pawn him & Eun Hye in this drama. And the sad part is, he is guaranteed to have a sad and unjustified ending for his character since he plays the second lead after all (You know how blind the female first leads in Kdramas no matter how perfect and kind the second guys are). This is just like Lee Hyun Woo in 'To the Beautiful You'. >.>

Joo Won just look good in everything that he does tbh. Even when he was tortured and look battered & weak, he still look awesomely desirable haha! :P
