Too bad.. I believe product placement is an important factor in a drama, but it has to be balanced. Too much of it would make a drama a long commercial, but creating fake names, usually makes me cringe, because no matter how "covered" the labels are (in cars for example), it is still WAY obvious what the product actually is.

Wow, that's really too bad. I really enjoyed Drops of God the manga. But I'm glad that they made the call to drop it when they realized that they couldn't use the wine names. Why does Korea have such a harsh law against product placement?

Interesting, had no idea he was going to be making a Korean version of Kami no Shizuku. It's odd that he is playing the second male lead character (Issei)... although imagining him as the main character is a little bit odd, especially since I have seen the Kame version, I have some image of a younger person playing the main character (probably true in the manga too). So I guess have Yonsama playing Issei makes more sense.

And yes, Kami no Shizuku was quite a failure. I tried to stick through it, but even fangirling over Kame goes so far...

Had forgotten they were planning on making a k-version of this. Didn't manage to finish Kami no Shizuku even though it was only 9 episodes. Kame seemed totally bored too with it too. Product placement certainly wasn't a problem in the j-version. Too bad, I would have loved to see Yon-sama back on the screen!

good, another Terroir avoided ;)

It's been awhile since I've seen BYJ and I'm struck by how much he and Kim Hyun Joong resemble one another. KHJ, take a good look...you'll age nicely = )

I am so sad that project was cancelled. I was hoping to see BYJ back on the small screen this year. I know that he has been busy with so many projects and businesses, but he needs to get back on a drama before people start to forget him as an actor.

I've seen pictures and dramas of BYJ when he was younger, Kim Hyung Joong is more handsome. If his acting improves and he chooses good projects, he could be the next Yonsama. because he has a lot of charisma

......... SO ALIKE.

Can't use the wine names? Oh that's too bad, that's practically the essence of the show. I think this would have been pretty decent had it pushed through. BYJ has a way of molding his roles to him. But I guess it's better to have no drama at all rather than have a poor quality drama with imitation wines.

Like the other Kame fan girls here, I wasn't able to finish the Japan version too. :( I can't give a full opinion about the J-version, but I do know that Kame was so bland that it probably crept up to the rest of the show. He just didn't fit the character, he's more suited to roles like in his coming drama Yamato Nadeshiko.

Honestly, I had no idea he was preparing for a drama.

So it's like, "What!? HUH!? BAE YONG JOONG WAS PREPARING FOR DRAMA COMEBACK!?"

Than I hear voices in my head going: Shame on you Biscuit! You call yourself Yon-sama's loyal fan!?

*sigh*

Anyways, I actually didn't care for the manga so I didn't bother to try the J-drama... so I'm not quite sure if I'm completely dissapointed in the K-Drama version not coming to life. But at the same time, I want BYJ in a drama this year! Although I wanted him in a melodrama more... or a role being a completely dark villain.... *siiiiiigh*

At the same time, if he's going to be in a drama it's better that they're making sure the quality doesn't drop. If he's coming back to tv, I've waited 3 years for him and I want the drama to be completely ready before airing!

@Lumi: Actually, I somehow can totally imagine Hyun Joong being the next Yon Sama.... he has the smile, the face, the love-able husband like qualities.... just needs to touch up on the acting!

This may be good for me.... I need a younger Yon-sama closer to my age................... "Joong-sama~"

Some people are saying that BYj and KHJ are look alikes -why don't they put these two together in a drama -that would be a feast ! Im sure Japanese fans of both will be thrilled to death !!

Philip Choi looks more like BYJ. Hahaha...should have put my elder brother 10 years ago with BYJ side by side. They looked like identical twins!!

oh dang, it would've been a much anticipated drama, seeing as Japan failed it's live action version. i've heard tons about the manga, but had been too lazy to actually follow up on it. would've loved to see it produced as a kdrama.

shame.

bad news :( i was expecting this "wine drama"

Sad to hear that the said drama had been cancelled, I miss BYJ so much,but Im still hoping that there will be another drama coming up, and the idea of BYJ and KHJ in a drama!..Wow thats great Since that Bae Yong Joon doesnt have a Drama ,I keep on watching KHJ and he really looks like BYJ. I like both of them.

Wow really miss him a lots, miss his drama........miss to see him again.........BYJ i love you........

Ya I miss BYJ too.....I agree he is more like a businessman than an actor nowadays. if he doesnt make a comeback soon, ya many fans will be turning their focus on upcoming like Jang Guek Suk. Am glad he is mentoring KHJ....hope to see more dramas by KHJ, BYJ and JGS........
