I love Seung Gi and I always wanted to see him express his range in acting. He's been so busy with his shows that he's been absent in acting this year.

Though i prefer him comedies. I'll take what i can get. I like Ha Ji Won too but it's an interesting pairing.

omaygaaaaaad!

Hmmm... I do want to see Lee Seung-gi in another drama role, but I'm not sure if I can see him and Ha Ji-won being all romantic & comedic with one another. Well, this is, of course, still up in the air so things may change.

I am curious to see if this'll stick. If it does, I'm trying to picture him and Ha Ji-won together. But you never know. He has that totally adorkably winning smile!

oh dramagods it isn't too much to ask for? isn't it? I've been missing Seunggi so much! Variety shows are not enough and with Ha JI won this would be something worth watching. make it happen dramagods :)

I've been waiting for his drama for forever. Hopefully this is it.

He needs to return to dramaland! I've really enjoyed everything he's been in and would like to see his growth in acting! I also personally like his acting better than his singing ... basically, I would like him to be in something!

It would have been awesome if Lee Byung Hun was able to take on the role as one of the earlier choices. Seeing him acting with the fabulous Ha Ji Won would be a dream but perhaps the timing wasn't right plus the long duration so he opted for the other King (of Joseon).. currently filming.

Nonetheless, the Best of Luck to 'The King' drama version and of course, 'The King' movie version. ^^

lol dokko jin stole lee seung gis refrigerator cf. now lee seung gi steals his drama :) hehhe i would still love cha seung won for the win

I don't like it. I love Lee Seung-gi and I love Ha Ji-won but together? I don't know, isn't she way older than him? Is this supposed to be a noona-dongsaeng relationship? Sigh, maybe I'm just being overly picky about this.

Seung-gi and Ji Won? Together?
Trying REALLY REALLY hard to picture it....but I can't. :(
Not to say that I wouldn't WANT them in a drama together, it's just hard to imagine.
If these 2 are confirmed, then I will wait to see the drama if they have any chemistry.
I have always been taught to never judge a book by its cover. :)

please dear God let this be for real!!!!

oh no. i smell disaster. this pairing i find very odd.

Heard it's already been confirmed, yay! It's going to be a busy time for our boy - Japan debut & new drama! But I believe he has finished his graduate study and will graduate soon, right?

Rooftop Prince -v- The King on the same timeslot, it's gonna be a tough competition and I love both!

oh my gosh please let this be real!!!! I cannot wait to see Seunggi in another drama! XP Please dramagods, work your magic and make this real!!!! Otherwise, at least let him be in another drama.

Count me in with the dissenters. Lee Seung Gi's a nice enough kid with his own charms, but he is definitely NOT at the caliber to act with Ha Ji Won. Seriously, how do you go from the three aforementioned actors to LSG? There's just no comparison. Here's to hoping this rumor falls through.

Err... I vote Cha Seung Won! Definitely Cha Seung Won or Lee Byung Hun next to Ha Ji Won!

All hail King Seung Gi!!!!

If this casting is confirm, I bet LSG will be a hell of a comedic king. I mean, he is already a king on 1 Night 2 Days...

HJW sure gets lucky with her co-stars, She has a bunch of young good-looking actors acting opposite her. Lucky girl ;)

yyaaaayyy...and ooooowww...cha seung won oppa???

this will be a great challenge to the production staff and cast ..... whoever the leading man i hope this will turn out to be good....
ha ha ha ha.......intriguing for both story and the acting

well, waddayaknow dreams do come true

though I pictured them more of a brother-sister love in my fantasy drama, i'll take what I can get :))

I want Cha seung-won T_T

i prefer cha seung won.he is more manly and charming

I actually hope this rumor is false. Nothing against LSG but i really don't see him & HJW as a pair of lovers plus i am tired of all the noona romances

I don't mind this pairing, but i'd really rather see cha seung won be paired with ha ji won... hopefully it'll be like a secret garden x best love kinda chemistry <3

See, I think it would totally work because his goofy hotness would balance her suave gorgeosity. Charisma he's got in spades, but I'm not so sure about Seung-gi's ~*acting*~ ability yet. I'm relatively sure Ha Ji-won could generate chemistry with a brick wall, though. I think between his charisma and her skills they've got it covered.

I know that even though this pairing sounds a bit odd, I have faith that both Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi will make it work. I mean, they always manage to right?

So I'm all for this, am excited to see both of them back on the small screen, and TOGETHER. :P

I don't know if it is just me but just wanna say I love the pairing. If this won't push through, I want Won Bin for the role but I know that's just my wishful thinking =)

I've heard of this drama, but for some reason, the storyline never sank in until I started imagining LSG...

This is basically My Princess meets MWtheSpy :D

Run LSG, run away...

If this is true, I really can't wait to see Seung Gi oppa as a real emperor!!! I would be so cool and cute for sure.
But what if this is not true, I would be devastated so crossing my fingers.
No matter what can't wait to see Seung Gi oppa in a drama again!
Oppa FIGHTING! :)

I'm lost. I just read from some source that Joo Ji Hoon will be the lead. So which one is true??? I think Joo Ji Hoon will be a better match for Ha Ji Won

I just don't see both of them as a pair. Not feeling the vibes. However, my lovely Ha Ji Won creates chemistry with almost everyone, I meant her co stars.

I am hoping for Won Bin or Jo Hyun Jae! Hope it happens.

Great pairing if LSG will be matched with Ha Ji Won. This drama would truly be a hit! Seung Gi's character as a king is oh-so fitted to him. I hope that the casting director will make his mind to give the role to LSG. This will be an anticipating drama of the year! :) Need the casting to be confirmed! I am really looking forward to it. :)

rooftop prince Vs King

any bets on which drama will do better in the ratings?

I'm leaning more towards King since it has HJW and LSG
but i like Rooftops prince's synopsis more as King could go really well (goong) or really badly (Myungwol)

but i am anticipating both dramas, and i lik ethe actors in both dramas as well.

At the moment, nothing is confirmed yet. LSGi agency just released the statement that they are still considering it - which makes sense as the drama shooting will begin end of this month and LSGi still have 1n2d, Strong Heart as well as his Japan debut (heard that his newest Japan single will be released early next month).

If he will star in this drama, it may mean he'll be doing both drama + Japan promotion at the same time, which will be too hectic for him.

Read on soompi that Joo Ji Hoon will play the King, but the article was soon removed by them. So it looks like it's another rumor.

Ha Ji won and Seung-gi?

Yes please

Ha ji-won is a great actress and she creates wonderful chemistry with her on-screen partners. I remember when Secret Garden producers confirmed Hyun Bin as the main male lead, there were mix reactions and doubts about their chemistry but look what happened they were able to create history with their wonderful drama. So I don't see any problem with hjw & seung gi's chemistry. I'm hoping that if ever this casting is final. I hope this will be a great drama like SEGA.

Seung-gi and Ji-won? Somehow I'm not convinced. Though I'd love for him to be the beta-male and her to be the awesome action star. Typecasting, yes, but they do those roles so well! I feel like anything else would just be weird.

I have a hard time imagining Seung-gi having onscreen chemistry with anyone so I'm not overly excited about this casting...but I'll stay optimistic because I love Ha Ji Won :)

I do like LSG and miss seeing him in a drama..but can't really picture him in this drama or pairing...

I'd prefer Jo In Sung very much!!
or Joo Ji Hoon, if we want a fresh pair.

Sorry...not CSW...had enuff of him at the moment....*run offffff*

No doubt about their chemistry. I just hope that he will have an intense acting skills like jo in sung or joo ji hoon.

i love LSG!! if this is for real then, its going to be the happiest 2012 for me :)

ehm....not confirmed yet..

http://www.soompi.com/news/lee-seung-gi-not-confirmed-for-the-king

I've been waiting for Lee Seung Gi's comeback after MGIAG, but I am not sure about this casting or the story. I liked Ha Ji Won in SG, but I can't picture them together...

LSG has a regal air about him, so I can see him as a young king. But the pairing is so weird LOL.
