Han Jae-seok added to Merchant Kim Man-deok
by javabeans
Lee Mi-yeon has a leading man for her upcoming historical epic, Merchant Kim Man-deok: actor Han Jae-seok of Women in the Sun and Lobbyist.
The KBS drama stars Lee Mi-yeon as the real-life figure born in the 18th century who became a gisaeng, then turned herself into a prosperous merchant — impressive given that she was a woman and an inhabitant of Jeju Island, then considered a remote backwater. Later, she became a famous philanthropist when she donated everything to save the inhabitants of Jeju after a famine struck the island.
Han Jae-seok plays an aristocratic man with a generous spirit “who does not cling to social standing and works to win his love.” A love triangle forms between him, gisaeng Kim Man-deok, and Park Sol-mi‘s character, who is an aristocrat’s concubine. The cast also features Kim Gab-soo, Kim Byung-ki, and Go Du-shim (who played Man-deok in a 1976 drama).
The drama is currently filming its fourth episode with child actors; the adults appear beginning Episode 5. The drama premieres on March 6.

I was in love with this guy a long time ago during About About Eve and Four Sisters. I used to think he was so hot. Well, I can't wait to see his new drama. He was great in his two recent dramas.

Love this guy, he's so beautiful, wasn't fond of him in Glass Slipper, but grew to love him slowly but surely in Women of the Sun.
May just watch this come March.
He has a bit of a K! R! W! thing going on in that photo, or is that just me?

A good actor. He scared the bejesus out of me in Daemang (Jang Hyuk, Jo Hyun Jae, Lee Yo Won, Son Ye Jin) as the bad brother; and pitied him in All About Eve (Jang Dong Gun, Chae Rim, Kim So Yun).

I loved this guy in AAE, 4 Sisters and Glass Slippers (OK maybe not as much as So Ji Sub :P) When I saw Women In The Sun I thought, wow he's aged. He looked pretty and didn't do much in the drama though he's supposed to be the leading man. Hope his role in meatier in this one.

@12
I too felt the same, he have been one of my fave kactors since MODEL. And I wanted him and Kim Nam Joo's character to be together in MODEL. It was freaking sad when he died .... and they were in another drama together, but he once again was the second lead!!! Damn!
I think he's still good looking :D
A young Won Bin was also in MODEL, cameo, during one of the fashion shows, I felt HJS can be his older bro. They looked similar.

I am currently watching Queen of Reversals starring Kim Nam Joo, I started watching because of her, as since MODEL, I really liked her as well.
I also wished for a drama with HJS and KNJ again. :) This time as leads together.
