Jung Yumi joins City Conquest
by girlfriday
Rooftop Prince’s Jung Yumi has been cast as the lead in the manhwa adaption of City Conquest, starring Kim Hyun-joong as a city-conquering noir hero on a revenge mission. I…don’t really know what city conquering is, but it sounds badass? One can only hope.
Jung Yumi hasn’t played the most likable characters in her career, but she’s thankfully got a likable quality in her screen presence, so I don’t ever hate her even if her characters make me want to do unspeakable things to voodoo dolls. She’ll be playing Lee Dan-bi, a jewelry designer who is honest, innocent, glamorous and beautiful. Er… does anyone else feel like they just looked up all positive adjectives and just threw them into the character description? She’s also described as having simple dreams for her future happiness.
Directing is PD Yang Yoon-ho, of IRIS. Which also explains why Kim Seung-woo is doing a special stunt-cast cameo in the drama. He’s been cast as Kim Hyun-joong’s father, and he’ll only be in the first five episodes, but it’ll probably help to have him play such a pivotal figure in the story. (Dad abandons the hero and his mother, which sets him on the path to revenge.) And writing is Hong Joo-ha, of Lie to Me. Oh NOES. That was my ounce of middling interest, leaving the building. EEP!
City Conquest still doesn’t have a broadcaster, but hopes to start shooting in a few weeks.

Whether a drama is successful boils down to chemistry. Although Jung So Min carries Playful Kiss on her shoulder, but it wouldn't have worked too if there is no chemistry between her and Kim Hyun Joong. As so with Lie to Me. The chemistry between the 2 leads were sizzling even though the storyline fizzled in the end.
So, hopefully the chemistry between Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Yumi will be good. I love Nam Goong Min in CYHMH as Ma Roo. He conveys emotion so well. I wish he would be a lead in future dramas.

For those who dislike KHJ...you sure have a lot of time to talk about him. I believe all actors/actresses start out a bit rough. But they learn to improve themselves as they go along. Example: shin se kyung totally sucked in the movie she did with moon geun young (my little bride i think) but she totally nailed tree with deep roots! Be more understanding people! We all learn as we go.

Why are people like this, always criticizing actors/actresses. Majority of you can't do a thing on screen given the opportunity to act. You don't discourage them, you have to encourage them to perform better. Not condemn them, it isn't fair at all.
My predictions for next k drama is city heart robber starring kim bum.
Watch out!!!
