Lee Seung-gi and Suzy cast in fantasy sageuk
by girlfriday
Well you know I’m a happy camper if puppy’s back in dramaland. Lee Seung-gi (The King 2 Hearts) and Suzy (Big) have been cast in a new drama, a fantasy sageuk called Gu Family Book. That’s a rough estimate on the title, since we have no hanja to go on yet, but the Gu refers to gumiho, a mythical nine-tailed fox, almost always in mythology a woman. But this time, Seung-gi will be playing a half-gumiho / half-human. Seung-gi, isn’t going from gumiho’s boyfriend to gumiho-boy kinda retreading old ground?
It’s at least a sageuk, which means it’ll be completely different from the modern rom-com My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho. I’ll just think of him as Miho and Dae-woong’s baby. The drama will be helmed by PD Shin Woo-chul, of Secret Garden, A Gentleman’s Dignity and writer Kang Eun-kyung of Baker King, Man of Honor, Dalja’s Spring.
Suzy is still “considering the role favorably.” There’s not much information on her character yet, just that she’s up for the heroine. Seung-gi has reportedly been attached to the project from the start, and has confirmed the lead role. All we know is that he’ll be playing a half-man-half-beast, in his first historical drama to date. I… cannot picture him with a mane of glory. Does not compute. In danger of fire hazard. You know I love the boy, but sometimes hair is his enemy. Can he be a half-gumiho who hides his true identity while living as a nobleman? ‘Cause pretty topknot with hat and hanbok sounds right up his alley.
I think it’s an adorable pairing, and while Suzy does leave some emoting to be desired, she’s better with every role, and I honestly just like her in everything. I dunno… she’s just plain likable. It probably helps that she’s played some funny characters, because comedy is her stronger suit. I hope there’s some funny to be had in this new show, because that’s my favorite mode for both these actors.
The series is aiming for an early 2013 broadcast, and is currently in talks with MBC for a time slot.

I like Suzy, she's OK. I realize I don't have a problem with her besides her lack of emotion at times. I liked her in Architecture 101 and feel she can get better. It's her rabid fans I don't like. The ones that flock to her every 2 second appearance in something and raaaaave about how awesome she is & only see her, so if she was cast I'm not looking forward to that LOL I think that's the only downside.
Lee Seung Gi is cool but I can't imagine him with a mane of glory either...or in a saeguk really. I know every actor does it at least once (or five?) times, but I can't picture him...

Hahaha. You can say that again. I'm also not on board with this pairing, if not for the fans, than for the fact that Suzy hasn't shown she could emote. Though her bland, no-emotion, deadpan face is quite impressive. It totally got me to like her in Dream High. Lols.

With you on her lack of emotion. I tend to back out of dramas really quickly if I'm not emotionally with the heroine that the main lead is supposed to fall for. It just doesn't compute in my head. I need to believe the character she's portraying.
I've mixed feelings about Suzy, because while she probably is improving (and I'm still amazed I sat through Dream High -- though that was probably more for the secondary couples), I feel it's a bit unjustified how she's being cast left, right and centre. Where are the other actresses?

Crossing my fingers it'll work out.

The Scriptwater also wrote Hotelier, If I'm not mistaken. It's a good and heartwarming story. Hotelier was very popular in 2001 starred by BYJ and SYA, later was adapted by TV Asahi Japan in 2007. CMIIW
I still have faith in her ^^

Really? Hotelier is always my fave drama of all time. But looking back now, I think what really won me over in the drama were the acting and the chemistry between Bae Yong Joon, Kim SEung Woo, Song Yun Ah, even Song Hye Kyo.
The story itself was not really special. So, I don't know ...

Ditto, my sentiment exactly.
I just hate the makjang-ness of Baker King and Man of Honor. Seeing that they cast Suzy, I'm hoping this drama will be heartwarming, has its lightheartedness but also has elements of epic and good mystery because the story seems to have potential for that. Is that too much to ask, writer-nim?
Seunggi has yet to disappoint in his project choices, so I'll put my faith on that.

SAME SENTIMENTS. When I first heard the news, only Man of Honor and Baker King were attached to her name. Didn't bother looking her up because of the horrendous works I've seen. I think I'll give her a shot since a lot are raving about Da Ja's Spring and Hotelier.

I have no problem with Suzy and Seung-gi coz' I love 'em both. Also the director's fine for me. I did reread the part about the writer penning Man of Honor and that kinda makes me leery about the drama. Hopefully she's working on the script as early as now and make it like Dalja's Spring where the drama had comedy and heart in equal parts.

Somtimes i feel like people are a little to harsh on suzy. On many Korean websites people are already saying they won't watch because she's a 'bad actress' and I agree her acting isn't great but it's gotten better with each project she took. So in this upcoming drama (hopefully) she'll be better than she was in her pervious drama/movies.
Honestly I am also looking forward to improvement from Lee Seung-gi too. Although he is without a doubt better than Suzy, i still sometimes find it hard to find his acting in emotional scenes a complete success. In King 2 Hearts he was pretty convincing and I hope it's the same with this drama.

LSG's comfort zone is in rom-com. Doing a fantasy sageuk? Well, let's see. I love him though. I've watched all his dramas and he can really act. He also has expressive eyes. That's actually his best asset.
Suzy, on the other hand, is an idol and a rookie actress. In Dream High, she was able to handle her role well because her character there was pretty simple at first. An emotionless singer and stubborn lass. But as time passes by, she gets better and better. On her drama Big, I can see her improvement on her acting skills. She has still a long way to go. I'm pretty sure she'll be better on her next drama.

I know! I am having a hard time trying to picture Seung-gi with a mane of glory as glorious as Jung Il-woo's. I mean, his is THE mane of glory in the history of mane of glories. Whereas, Seung-gi's hair on 1N2D could also be interpreted as a mane at times, but perhaps not categorized as glorious.

I'm fine with the pairing, but what shocked me was the discovery that the writer of Dalja's spring went on to write Baker King and Man of Honor...does not compute. Maybe she was a co-writer in each?.
How can the person who penned Man of Honor (shudder) and Baker King (wasn't a fan) write the awesome Dal Ja's spring??

October 19, 2012 at 5:45 AM
I haven't watched the other 2 but Dalja's Spring is one of my favourites. Were Baker King & Man of Honor suppose to be comedies? Because maybe the writer's strong suit is comedy and hopefully this is going to be another comedy. *prays to ye gracious drama gods* Regardless, I'm going to check it out because of Seung-gi.
And I'm going to agree with girlfriday that Suzy is just plain likeable. Even though all her roles have been essentially the same.... so I guess I'm just carrying over my love for her characters to her as an actress.

I read that his management said his character is not a Gumiho but a half-man half-beast.
Anyway, my two reactions upon reading the news:
1. Yay, Seunggi is back on drama!
2. Writer of Baker King and Man of Honor? hmm. But after reading that its also the same writer behind Dal Ja's Spring, at least there's a show I like from her. Here's hoping she will surprise me like The King 2 Heart's writer.
But I encho you Girlfriday, you made me laugh right there about his hair being his enemy.
And with regards to Suzy, thats what I feel about her too. She's lacking in emotional scenes, but when doing comedy, she has great timing and acting for it. She looks funny and adorable at the same time.
Looking forward to more news on this drama and hoping it will turn out good! My main concern is the plot/writer really.

True, now the writer is the one worrying me... Baker king is an addictive one, though it doesn't have that much quality. Man of Honour...*sigh* wanne..you know how rumor spread around 2011 ago among Airen about Seung Gi'll play baseball player, weren't you? My hope is Dalja's spring & Hotelier. Hopefully this writer can turn the switch, and the director able to pull out the quality.
As Suzy..I blame Ha Ji Won that I'm expecting an experienced actress to play his opposite, hahaha, I know it sound silly, but it's not I don't like Suzy, I love this girl, jinjja..but my heart drop when I heard rumor she'll play the female lead. Sorry Suzy, sorry....
For now, I think I'll take back seat and will gladly happy to be proven wrong about the writer & Suzy...

Oh, I didn't know about the rumor. But recently Seunggi has been hinting about playing a manly role so I guess this is it. I can't picture him in a mane of glory or even saguek speaking, but it will be interesting to see. Seunggi is someone who works hard and a perfectionist, so I'm sure he will do well in saguek as well. But because he works too hard he has the tendency to overact at times especially during the beginning of a drama. And as we all know, his management love to ruin his look, unless he's acting as someone important like the king. So I'm hoping, please please please a good hair also this time!
Regarding his female counterpart, its refreshing to see him with a younger one this time. Most of the time he's always the youngest in his previous project be it drama or variety. So I'm sure he's giddy to work with someone who will call him 'oppa' haha. Its a new experience for him, so that's good as well.

"But because he works too hard he has the tendency to overact at times especially during the beginning of a drama."
There it is. Even though I love Seung Gi to bits, and I've seen improvement in his acting from Brilliant Legacy up to his most recent King2Hearts, I've always been of the impression that there was something about his acting that bothered me. I was never able to pinpoint it (or maybe I was just trying too hard to love him), because there's always something awkward about some points of his acting. This makes more sense to me, because I can totally see it now. He's got great emotion, but somehow he has moments where he's a bit awkward and that might be because he tries too hard to get into character and get it right that he overdoes it.
Thanks for putting that idea into perspective! :D

Oh I just read your comment. Don't know if you'll ever read this but I just want to respond hehe..
Why are you trying hard to love him? Being a fan doesn't mean we have to like everything that person does and see no faults on him. No one is perfect. As a fan, I have no problems reading criticism on Seunggi but only when they are said in a good manner.
I first know and become interested in Seunggi through Brilliant Legacy. I didn't find him handsome at that time (with the moppy bird-nest hair on him), but there's something about his acting that really charms me.
When his character is in love, I can totally feel and see it. He has great range of expression and can hit it good during emotional scenes when not overdone or try too hard. I guess that's why I think he's best during the light-hearted and quiet scenes in that drama. He could make me cry, but he could also make me cringe.
Compared to some flat actors who I couldn't feel their emotions at all eventhough they've cried a river, I think Seunggi has potential if he can learn to control his acting more.
One of the scenes where I was really impressed by him in The King 2 Hearts was when Bonggu revealed to him that he killed his brother and when Hang-ah was shot in front of him. Also when he took off his neck tie on the day of Jaekang's death, I teared at that.
I hope someone tells him about his overdoing tendency, so he will be able to maintain his acting and shows more improvement in his future project. Its good that he has become close with the veteran actors in TK2H. I'm sure he can gain great advice from them.

I think that's a bit harsh. I don't follow the idols so wouldn't know one girl from another. She just seems to have that polarizing way about her - you either love her or hate her. I found her to be grating on the nerves in Big (maybe she got better but I only lasted about 1/2 way with the show.) But then again, it took me until I saw Kim Suh Na in a serious role (I Do, I Do) for me to like her!

Shrugs. I love kpop. I know much more about the fandom side of things for music than I do of dramas. Miss A is fierce, consisting of truly talented girls. Suzy is to be commended on her foray into acting, she's done much better than many others and is a delight even without comparisons. But it seems jumping ship too early? She's only got three projects under her belt, and two of them were pretty minor roles.
But yeah, I understand where you're coming from. The elitism from drama fans to the kpop side of things gets amusing to downright annoying sometimes.

I'm not saying Suzy is the best actress ever, I know she's not, but she is likeable, and she does improve in her roles. I just wish people would stop bashing before they've even seen the drama or the particular idol's performance.

People are bashing her because she's idol. "One of the idols that can't act" "she should just stay an idol". Come on. Yet everyone loves LSG who has pretty limited range as an actor and has played pretty much the same guy in every role. LSG is riding on his charm and not his amazing acting ability, but you know he's hot so we can overlook that.

I beg to differ! He certainly does NOT have limited range as an actor! He is one actor I enjoy watching cos he has a WIDE range of expressions, even back then in BL! And he's improved tremendously in TK2H, beyond many people's expectations, so much so that veterans in the industry praise his acting. He was NOT riding on his charm, but his talent!

I watched K2H but tbh I felt the real draw was Ha Ji-won, but LSG was pretty good in it. However I don't think that the character was too out of his comfort zone. Anyway I'm just majorly annoyed at the Suzy bashing because the majority of the time this type of criticism is leveled at actresses. It's just really frustrating to read the same type of comments whenever a leading lady is cast.

October 20, 2012 at 8:07 AM
Most of the comments here ARE mentioning his previous outing as an actor in K2H. It's safe to say he's garnered most accolades as an actor due to that drama. Whether that show was one's cup of tea or not, one can't deny the fact that Seung Gi acted his heart out and delivered the goods. As King Lee Jae-Ha he was pitch perfect. Obviously, you are entitled to your opinion and that's cool.

I've never heard of a double master's but that sounds intense.... why not just do a PhD while he's at it?

By double master's I meant in two different programs. His first one's not exactly an MBA but in the field of Business/Econ. And, he was so impressed with PD Lee of K2H that he enrolled in his second one viz in Culture Content.
I agree with you on having the 1N2D S1 cast & crew back w/ Kim C, MC Mong included. After they left somehow the show became off-kilter. As much as I want it I don't think Seung-gi will be returning to variety any time soon...am quite sure he'll be enlisting next year.

Why cant the idol-hards come out of their idol fist shell and just focus on the acting? ><
Suzy is a great actress. She emotes her character well enough for her to show the character. Have you guys watched Introduction to Architecture? GRR. SHE CAN IMPROVE!
Everyone has to improve somehow right? All I can see is, SHE KEEPS IMPROVING. And thats all that is needed.
Wouldnt want her to be up there and fall down aye? Gotta work from BOTTOM to the TOP. Which is how I see Miss Suzy :)

This is also how I feel about Suzy. I actually loved her character in Dream High. Sure she's not A class yet but at least she's improving.
As for LSG...well I like him as a host and on variety shows but I've never really liked any of his acting or his dramas except for TK2H. Most of the time I find his characters grating so the acting is turning me off. The only exception has been TK2H and even then at the beginning, I was on the fence...

But some of us Dramabeanies saw him in person ,recently, we were shocked outta our skin that he looks bagazillion times handsomer in person . His face- to- face Charisma grabs you by the throat & annuls any speech.Most of us got to shake his hand. We were like shocked drooling deers caught in his headlights.

LSG is not attractive at all - he has what I call a "mush face."
Now, there are plenty of actors and actresses who aren't attractive in the typical sense, but have that "it" quality that makes them attractive in their own right.
LSG isn't one of them and to me, LSG is just annoying.

Btw, I always believe that if one does not have anything nice to say or write about someone else, its polite to keep one's opinions to oneself. It's ok to say or write CONSTRUCTIVE comments and give different view points, but to call another person 'ugly' and a 'mush face' is VERY rude and does not speak well of their upbringing and shows the 'ugly' side of their personality. Please take this advise from a woman who has lived for almost half a century and raised 4 children.

Has nothing to do w/ "taste."
There are people I aren't "my thing", but I can objectively admit are good-looking.
LSG is not one of them (bad cheeks/not so great cheekbones, kinda a weak chin/jawline, etc.).
People getting all butthurt over others having opinions is what's annoying.

Kay, shall we stop it here? The discussion is off when we talk only about face. @bd I'll be appreciate you so much if we stop talking about 'how to standardizing the point of good looking', because as I says above..I THINK everyone's taste is different^^

Like I mentioned earlier, everyone's are entitiled to their opinons, but in a public forum/thread, they should show some discretion and decorum in the way they express their views, or they will appear immature and insecure. Worse, they bring shame on the people who raised them up and on themselves.

There were many people doubted he wouldn't have any chemistry with SMA in MGIAG; but in the end, they both pulled through. I miss cute Hoi-Hoi couple ^^
And who could forget all the negative remarks when he first cast as HJW's King, many believed they looked like siblings; but they gave a stunning & sizzling performance as Ah-Ha Couple. Ah-Ha Couple is still on my top 3 best K-drama couple ever.
I believe this time, he'll surprise us again. He always brings the best out of his partner, and makes his partner shines.

He used to be just a preppy boy next door to me but now , he's the va-va-voom uber-male who can do no wrong. Ops ,I got a disclaimer.His hair...his hair is his Achilles Heel. His hair can be all kinds of wrong, on occasions. LSG+ Suzy...hmmmm. I'm sceptical & hoping that, somebody else of stronger acting experience will take over Suz's role. Jebal !!

Oh yes! Lee Seung Gi, I have missed you so! I will watch anything he takes on. And I like Suzy, so this will be an interesting match-up if she takes the leading lady role. However, I DO agree... hair is not Seung Gi's stronger suit as we have all seen him in some questionable mops (a la Brilliant Legacy...), so mane of glory is going to be a hard one to figure out... sigh. Still, I love him, so it's fine whatever happens.
I DO like me a good fantasy/historical genre, and I have yet to watch a Seung Gi series and not like it (yes, even Brilliant Legacy).
I will be following this news with smiles. Thanks much for the updates!
