Teasers for "Switch: Change the World"



“Switch: Change the World” will be the story of a conman suddenly becoming a prosecutor and using his skills to take down those who try to avoid the law.  Jang Geun Suk will play the charismatic and brilliant Sa Do Chan, who is smart enough to become a prosecutor but due to a reason that has not been revealed yet, becomes a conman instead. With both a legal mind and conman tricks up his sleeve, he prefers to only scam people with a shady past.

Alongside him will be Han Ye Ri playing Oh Ha Ra, a passionate prosecutor who overcame all of her obstacles with pure talent alone. She has been close friends with Baek Joon Soo since they were in school, and when he is attacked during a case involving a new strain of drugs, she stumbles upon Sa Do Chan, who looks exactly like Baek Joon Soo. Though she hesitates at first to work with a conman, she strikes up an uneasy partnership with him to get revenge for her friend and solve the case.

Jang Geun Suk and Han Ye Ri confirmed for SBS drama

In this drama, Jang Geun Suk plays a con artist with the brains to pass the bar exam, although he was somehow unable to become a prosecutor. Because he’s as knowledgeable as a prosecutor but not actually a real one, he’s not bound by their rules and ethics and thus can navigate investigations more freely.

The drama describes itself as approaching justice from the line between legal and illegal, and also sends a satirical message. With that kind of character description driving the plot, I can already envision the clashing between the upright prosecutor (Han Ye Ri) and the faker who nevertheless seems to be working toward the same ultimate goal. There is no further info on what roles Jung Woong In, Park Ho San and Jo Hee Bong will be playing.

Switch: Change the World will be a Wednesday-Thursday drama following the current drama Return, and will premiere in March.

I love Han Ye Ri and the supporting cast, but JGS and a legal drama? Not sure I can handle that. :/

13 Korean actors and actresses who regret turning down roles in popular dramas 🎭📺


Choosing to accept or reject a drama role is definitely not an easy decision for Korean actors and actresses. One role can make or break you career, and choosing the right one is a decision that cannot be taken lightly. But every K-drama actor or actress has at least one role they passed up that continues to haunt them!


1. Hyun Bin


There was much debate and excitement surrounding what Hyun Bin would choose as his comeback drama after his military service. He was originally thinking about taking the lead role in Kill Me, Heal Me but decided to do Hyde, Jekyll, and I. Ji Sung ended up taking the role in Kill Me, Heal Me, and the drama killed it in the ratings while Hyde, Jekyll, and I fell disappointingly short.

2. Chun Jung Myung


Chun Jung Myung doesn’t need to be told that turning down the lead role in Coffee Prince was a mistake. In a recent interview the actor came clean about his regret, admitting that rejecting Coffee Prince “is something I will regret all my life. I apologize to Gong Yoo, but I am just stating how I feel.”

3. Jung Woo Sung


Can you imagine Full House starring anyone other than Rain? Well, it almost did! Both Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae were originally considered for the role opposite Song Hye Kyo. Full House was massively successful, maintaining the first spot in the ratings with a whopping 40%!

4. Jeon Ji Hyun


Believe it or not, Jeon Ji Hyun was initially considered as the lead in My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox! While I love Jeon Ji Hyun, after recently rewatching the drama, I truly believe the role was made for Shin Min Ah. What do you think?

5. Jang Geun Suk


Boys Over Flowers fans might be surprised to know that the role of Gu Jun Pyo was originally offered to Jang Geun Suk. However, he turned it down to do Beethoven Virus, and Lee Min Ho was cast. The role of F4’s leader skyrocketed Lee Min Ho to Hallyu fame, but Jang Geun Suk still did pretty well with Beethoven Virus, which averaged 19.1% in ratings and earned Geun Suk an MBC Drama Award.

6. Jang Hyuk


Historical drama powerhouse Jang Hyuk turned down the action-packed hit Bridal Mask. The role of Lee Kang To ended up going to Joo Won, and the drama enjoyed much critical and popular success.

7. Moon Geun Young


The adorable and talented Moon Geun young has turned down many roles in recent years, including The Scholar Who Walks the Night, High Society, and The Moon That Embraces the Sun. I, for one, am still waiting for her comeback drama! Hopefully turning down such amazing roles will work out for Moon Geun Young and she will choose a great comeback project.

8. Song Joong Ki


After a lot of debate, Song Joong Ki turned down the role of King Lee Hwon in The Moon That Embraces the Sun. Interestingly enough, the role was also rejected by Park Shi Hoo and Park Yoo Chun before it eventually went to Kim Soo Hyun.

9. Jung Yong Hwa


Many fans were disappointed to learn that Jung Yong Hwa turned down the role of Choi Young Do in Heirs. The role went to Kim Woo Bin who, in my opinion, ended up being even more perfect for the part!

10. Lee Joon Ki


While the iconic role of Lee Dae Gil in Chuno eventually went to Jang Hyuk, it was originally turned down by Lee Joon Ki. While I love Lee Joon Ki, I cannot picture any other actor in that role. Jang Hyuk was perfect for it. Go Soo and Kang Ji Hwan also turned down the role.

11. Kim Hee Sun


If you thought that Moon Geun Young has turned down a lot of roles recently, Kim Hee Sun definitely has her beat. The actress has turned down lead roles in dramas such as Autumn in my Heart, My Girl, I'm Sorry I Love You, and Lovers in Paris.

12. Kim Ah Joong


Sometimes stars turn down roles for the strangest reasons. That is definitely the case with Kim Ah Joong and Coffee Prince. It was reported that the star turned down the role of Go Eun Chan because she didn’t want to cut her hair due to a shampoo promotion she was doing. Shampoo commercial versus lead role in Coffee Prince...if it were me, there would be no competition! Cut off all my hair!

13. Kim Woo Bin


Kim Woo Bin, who has been focusing on his film career with hits like The Technicians and Twenty, turned down some pretty big drama roles such as the lead in Pinocchio and Jeju Island Gatsby. Do you think Kim Woo Bin regrets not taking the Jeju Island Gatsby role because he didn’t get to kiss Kang Sora like this?

Bonus (the one that almost wasn't): Jeon Ji Hyun


Jeon Ji Hyun initially turned down the role of Cheon Song Yi in My Love From Another Star; however, the show's director and Kim Soo Hyun refused to give up and eventually convinced her that the role would be perfect for her. Thank God she agreed! My Love From Another Star would not have been the same without her!

serious talk: KSH as King Lee Hwon is everything. I love Song Joong Ki but KSH was born to play LH. Also I can't picture anyone but LMH as Gu Jun Pyo.

It was a change from a beautiful long hair, sexy man in the drama “You’re Beautiful” to this refreshing short hair, charming man in an all black suit that was simple yet dignified.

Starred in 7 movies and won the Best New Actor Award in BaekSang Arts Award for “Happy Life” (2007), Jang Keun Suk said he came for this exchange to introduce Korean films to Chinese audience, learn more about Chinese films and expressed his willingness to cooperate and work with Chinese film-makers.

And talking about his dreams, the born in 1987, he debuted 20 over years ago, Jang Keun Suk bluntly said “I want to bring my script with me when I am in my coffin” and he wants “a Jang Keun Suk in 10 years time as his own idol.”

What's y'all favorite JSK movie? I've pretty much liked everything of his (except "You Are My Pet"), but I can always watch "Baby & I" no matter my mood. Hoping that his next project is a good one.
