Oh Ji-ho as Chuno’s tortured slave
by javabeans
The first image released of KBS’s upcoming drama Chuno [aka Pursuing Slaves, 추노] featured Jang Hyuk. These latest images showcase the drama’s other lead actor, Oh Ji-ho, playing a wrongly accused man who is made into a slave.
The drama began filming earlier this month on August 13 and has recently confirmed that Lee Da-hae will fill out the love triangle with Oh and Jang as the female lead.
Oh’s character is a highly accomplished general in the military who is falsely charged with wrongdoing and tortured. Subsequently, he ends up assigned as a slave serving a government bureau. After he runs away, he is pursued by Jang Hyuk’s character, a high-ranking nobleman, all over the country.
In preparation for this role, Oh Ji-ho has been intensely training in the martial arts, reducing his body fat percentage to incredibly low levels, and growing his beard. This is his first sageuk challenge, and also Lee Da-hae’s. Chuno plans to premiere in October.

I was never attracted to Oh Ji Ho, but he kinda reminds me of Takeshi Kaneshiro in these photos.

Damn right saryKIM, when I saw his veins popping out on the third picture
I said to myself, Oh Ji Ho your are Tae Ha. You have immerse yourself truly a runaway slave.
Kinda of a role which put the late Keith Ledger amongst top actors.
Ladies... HIS time has come!!!

For a moment there I thought I was seeing pics of Takeshi Kaneshiro (pic 1 and 3)! But then again Takeshi would look even more vulnerable - that man can really work vunerable and sexy at the same time *sigh*....
Opps back to the topic..... sounds like an interesting drama. Like Lee Da-hae -although have yet to check out the mess that was East of Eden, but still curious enough about it that i might check it out one day. And add in the eye candy of Oh Ji-ho and Jang Hyuk - so drama is on possibly watching list.

Actually, there were no mess created by ldh in EOE-just the director and production team didn't want her in that drama, so they just gave her 1 or 2 minutes screen times with no character to play- just walking, looking loss, etc,-then she decided to leave at ep 40. Good decision tho', she save the budget of the production cost.
By the way, really looking forward for her part in this drama-she really is very special actress to me. Right now Arirang is showing her 'Lotus Flower Fairies'-love it, she plays female shaman there..

Anybody bidding for that sexy - slave?
Oh Ji Ho had really immersed in his role as a slave. I notice the production company used his clip to hype this CHUNO drama and Oh Ji Ho is believable.
Can't wait to air it. Hope its soon.
