Good Morning, President Jang Dong-gun
by javabeans
Jang Dong-gun (Taegukgi, Friend) has chosen his next film project: Good Morning, President [굿모닝 프레지던트], to be directed by Jang Jin of films My Son and Righteous Ties. Jang Jin also wrote the screenplay, which is described as incorporating elements of humor and satire in its depiction of society and politics.
This marks Jang’s film comeback in Korea; he’s been busy at work on his Hollywood debut, Laundry Warrior, but it’s been four years since his last Korean film, 2005’s Typhoon.
In Good Morning President, Jang plays a young, charismatic, and ambitious president. The film also features two other president characters, one who is elderly and at the end of his term of office, while the third appears as Korea’s first female president.
Aside from the fact that he is still very young to be acting presidential (he’s 36), woo, it’s Jang Dong-gun! Yes, please.
The film is scheduled to begin shooting in April.

that's quite an old pic..but glad that he's finally doing a movie. i somehow forgot about his hollywood flick with Kate Bosworth coz it's taking too long .. i wish the leading lady would be Kim Hye Soo or Lee NaYoung. Not quite dig Han Chae Young.

@ 6
I immediately thought of Kimura Takuya as well when I saw the summary for this... We'll see though I guess. I'm kind of excited to see what Jang Dong-gun has up his sleeve.

Well Hello Mister President!
:D
OHHHH, you don't know how this news made my day! I miss to see Jang Dong Gun in new project, and being a president? Waw.
( and that means he will cut his messy hair, right? I like him in anyway, but his sleek appearance would be nicer! )
I could not miss this, at all.
YAY!

Oh dramabeans, you left out that Han Chae Young is rumored (or maybe confirmed) to be the lead actress of this movie. Yay for the Jang-Han couple.

Aw, if only this was a series instead! 4 years absent should be made up with a drama! A movie is too short, but it's something, so that's good too. However, the waiting period is going to be so long. Waiting for them to begin filming, then finish filming, to be released, then to DVD.. that sounds like a year there. ^^;

Dear Jang Dong Gun,
I am A Myu Tay from Myanmar.
I work in University as a Lecturer. Now I am studying in Japan as post graduate student. You are my favorite actor. I like you very much. Last December I had been sent a new year card and present for you. Unfortunately, it was returned back to me. It was addressed to “MP Entertainment, Kang-Nam-Gu, Chung-Dam-Dong 93-14, Seoul, Korea”. And last March, I had sent a birth-day card for your 37th year aniversity. It was also returned back to me. It was addressed to “Jang Dong Gun International Fans Club, JDG Company ,# 901 9F Shinyung G WELL 114-11 Samsung-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, KOREA” . Both of these addresses were obtained from internet. I think, there is something wrong. May be the wrong address or there is risk of security for you . So that there is nobody to receive my parcel. I feel very sorry for that. I have no idea that how I can send a present to my favorite actor. Even my mail to admin@jang-donggun also return back. I did not know your birthday was hold in Japan. If I had known the time and place of your ceremony before your birthday, I would be present there. Well Mr. Jang, I just want you to know that there is one person who crazy you and she had tried to sent you a present . It was ended in painful upset.
I wish, your Hollywood film “Laundry Warrior” be break through success and “ Good Morning Mr. President” also.
You may be happy today, tomorrow and for ever.
Thanks. Sorry for my poor English.
A Myu Tay

Wish you have a successful life.

@a myu tay
JDG's management agency had moved out to another place so it's understandable that your parcel will be returned to you. If you want that your parcels be received by JDG and even your letters, just join Adonis International(JDG's official international fans club).

Hi I think you are an incredible actor and a handsome one at that, I am not Korean, but I love to watch Korean soaps. I especially love All about Eve. I'm glad you are back especially with good morning president, I haven't watch it yet, but I will. I am from Hawaii, but I don't think its a good idea to go in a Theater with all Koreans and they will probably look at me, thinking what I'm doing there, anyway good luck and keep up the good work.
