Choi Jin-hyuk offered role in Heirs
by javabeans
Woohoo! Choi Jin-hyuk — aka the most romantic gumiho ever — is currently up for upcoming buzz drama Heirs, which stars Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye and comes from the pen of star writer Kim Eun-sook (Secret Garden). He’s received the offer and is currently “positively considering” it. Everybody knock some wood, throw some salt, and do your rain dances now!
This is also the drama that recently lost or dropped (depending on how you read it) Jung Yong-hwa due to conflict of opinion with the producers. Now, I think Yong-hwa’s cute and talented as a musician, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that this would be the best trade-off EVER. I love Choi Jin-hyuk all on his own, though, so I’d be excited no matter whom he was replacing. He has a wonderful warmth and groundedness that makes him super appealing even in terrible projects (ahem, It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl), though of course I’d prefer seeing him in something solid.
If Choi signs on (please oh please), the cast would actually be much better than I dared hope; when the second lead slot opened up again I figured the most I would hope for was an appealing young guy who maybe had some charisma who wouldn’t totally sink the ship. Instead we get a guy who might seriously challenge my allegiance to the main romantic pairing, because seriously, what’s it take for Choi Jin-hyuk to get a Happily Ever After around here? (See: I Need Romance, Panda and Hedgehog.) And even when he does, well, the drama tends to not be worth watching.
I do think the entire cast is a bit old to be revisiting adolescence (Park Shin-hye could pull it off, but the guys are definitely twentysomething leading men now) but the drama is reportedly all about chaebols (thus heirs) and sparkling romantic comedy told in a Gossip Girl-like way, and Gossip Girl always felt like it was 16-year-olds acting 30. (Which is funny since Kim Eun-sook’s characters are usually 30 acting 16. But maybe this weird dichotomy will work out well for this project.)
Gah, now we just have to wait. Till October. Which is forever away.

I agree with Lay!
This is totally excellent news. I think it would be kind of cool and unconventional if CJH (as a 2nd lead) would get the girl, like PSH has in some of his dramas. However, I am not holding my breath, of course! This is LMH we are talking about. No way he would loose the girl to a 2nd lead (and his fans might not like that at all).
I LOVED him in GFB (he is one of the best things about that show), and I would love to see him in a new drama. He is 28 (western age), so it will be interesting to see how he pulls off the "I am a petty teenager" act and look. Not that he can't do it, or course. Then again, 2nd leads are usually the nice ones, so maybe his character will be nice, yet again.

I look at the picture and the clothes and start thinking about that character he played: who made those when he lived up in the mountain? The monk? or did the gumiho sew the clothes on his free time? thats kind of weird. people never think about who makes the clothes and who cleanes the lavatory for the heroes.

Good questions, Redfox!
I think we are not supposed to think about who makes the clothes and who cleans the lavatory, we usually assume someone does, (though I do think about those things myself), and someone probably does.
Also, he was not only a gumiho but a spirit as well, remember? He brought butterflies in a big bag for SH, so he could probably produce clothes out of thin air (I am assuming)? As a spirit, I am kind of assuming that he must not have been restricted in some areas.
If we want to be realistic and practical, the monk could have also bought the clothes for him at the market, all he needed was his measurements. The other thing is WR could appear to people as a man, so he could have been around humans (and no one would be the wiser), and shopped for his own clothes or have them sewn. Remember when he and SW were cornered in the forest? He looked like a human (man) to those who were chasing him (DPJ and his men). It was only when he was chained and he wanted to protect SH that he changed (some) in front of them.
I don't know if you were really expecting an answer, this is the best I can do... and think of.

I think it certainly began the start of a popularity surge - while he was appearing in Gu he had a CF on tv that was topping the charts, and people were linking that to the general adoration his character was receiving.
I'd certainly seen him before and enjoyed him, particularly in INR, but those two episodes were a whole 'nother level of love.

This guy is seriously talented and extremely hot, but he never chose his projects well. Choi Jin Hyuk is one of those underrated actors I had my eye on and hoped to see him rise into bigger and greater things.

I liked him so much in the first few episodes of GFB, but now I can't un-see the gumiho look which totally works on him! I really do hope he takes the role.
It would be at least different (out of the box) if it turns out to be a "teenagers acting like they're way older" kind of show, being privileged brats or something, I mean "Gossip Girl" bratty--not the childish BOF bratty; but that doesn't seem to be a SK kind of thing, is it?

I know, having them play teenagers is as laughable as the American attempts like Pretty Little Liars or 90210. I really dislike all these shows, because I have teenagers and it just makes them more unsure about themselves to see what Hollywood thinks teenagers ought to look and act like. It's hard enough growing up, without having to look like (or be an acceptable date for) Lee Min Ho.

Like JB said, Park Shin-hye can pass as a teenager (and she's younger than Seo In-gook, Lee Jong-suk and Kim Woo-bin, who did it quite successfully last year) but Lee Min-ho did not look like a teenager even in BBF, I don't know how this drama is going to convince us they are that age.

OMG! If he does sign on and is the second lead, I will also be hard pressed to support Lee Min-ho's character. I've actually seen Choi Jin-hyuk in very little, most recently in Gu Family Book, in which he totally blew my mind. He was SO GOOD in that! I hope he joins Heirs!
The only down-side, for me, is that this is a Kim Eun-sook drama. I didn't finish watching Secret Garden, because I couldn't grow attached to the characters, and felt it was ridiculous. I did watch A Gentleman's Dignity, and enjoyed it, the only point of contention being almost all of the female characters were childish. The female lead, particularly. You'd think a 30-something woman would've been used to kissing and what kissing leads to, but the way she was really irritated me. She really did seem like a 16-year old in the body of a 30-year old. Which makes me hope Heirs will be good. I am going to watch it, because it's Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye and, possibly, Choi Jin-hyuk. I just hope Kim Eun-sook makes it a good drama.

Totally agree on Kim Eun-sook's writing for SG (which was totally overrated - full of the standard k-drama clichés and one dimensional, stereotypical characters - and even the "relationship btwn the leads was ridiculous, going from the male lead basically stalking and sexually harassing the female lead, much to her annoyance, to her suddenly being heads over heals in love with him).

I LOVE HIM. Sorry Lee Min Ho fans, but I only have a "meh" response to him (ironically with the exception of his "character" in the Toyota Camry adds--Maybe he needs to play a villian). AS much as I am crazy about Park Shin Hye, I was planning on completely skipping this one--not even reading recaps skip. But now? Choi Jin Hyuk?!?!?!? One smile from him had me watching Panda and Hedghog for goodness sake. Do you know how many of my brain cells died from that show? But I watched anyway, fastforwarding for his scenes alone. I don't care if this show is bad (frankly the others can recover becaiver fans love them), but I hope his part is good so he can get the attention he deserves.

Another "word." I actually could say, "AMEN!" to that. Because that is my prayer... that Choi Jin Hyuk would stop being offered these second male leads.... not that he isn't AMAZING and/or the writing is necessarily bad for him (or maybe it is ability to act so well... hm....) but that I am SUPER sad to see him always getting shafted by a rather undeserving male lead (IMHO). I have a feeling that we are looking at yet ANOTHER second male lead position for CJH in "Heirs" though, based on the advertisements and descriptions. LMH's fan base is surely a MAJOR concern for the writers. Unfortunately, that puts Choi Jin Hyuk below him in their ladder of concerns. They want to "sell" a drama, and LMH brings in the girls.
If they would look around, though, it is Choi Jin Hyuk that brings in the WOMEN.
*chuckles* He is so damn interesting. And yes, the man is hot as Hades on a summer day at noon. But, seriously, he is more than an "just" another good looking actor. He actually has talent, which most people that like a good K-drama (and have seen cutesy liddle pop-actors utter FAIL at) appreciate.
Just my thoughts! Love me some good drama! :)

This is a perfect casting against LMH. LMH will have to work for it to prove that his OTP is the best. CJH has enough charisma to sink a ship. He could use this show as a stepping stone to true lead territory. Also added bonus CJH can play the gentle, caring, manly boyfriend so well. That's a great foil to the hesitant doe eyed characters PSH always plays.
I Need Romance broke my heart and I watched that Panda & Hedgehog mess too for him. But unless they are flashing back to high school or CJH is a chabeol student teacher at the school then how are we suppose to suspend our disbelief? These grown men and women are going to look super old next to the classroom extras, unless they fill the classroom with 25-30 year olds. C'mon, writer-nim, you've got plenty of time, change the setting to college and it will all make sense.

He has to go to the army soon so I kind of feel like whatever popularity he garners from this will just be squandered once he leaves.
But he signed with Jung Woo Sung's agency so maybe that will give him a boost in visibility since Jung Woo Sung is such a huge star in Korea.

His company should do a better job at getting his name out there. LYH is still constantly media playing how amazing she supposedly was in GFB, while there is nothing from him.

Ever since Heirs was announced, it's already on my must-watch list. I've been watching Lee Min Ho dramas since BOF and I've been watching Park Shin Hye's dramas since YB, hence, Heirs is a double treat for me.
I only knew about Choi Jin Hyuk when I watched GFB. While Lee Seung Gi and Suzy were my main reasons to watch it initially, the first two episodes without those two were actually the one that got me hooked because of Choi Jin Hyuk's Wol Ryung character. I am seriously watching GFB episodes 1 and 2 over and over again because I can't get enough of "the most romantic gumiho ever" along with his deep sexy voice. Also, maybe it's just me, but I see Hyun Bin in him!
And now this news of him considering a role in Heirs just gave me another reason to watch out for the drama. What a triple treat! I do hope the drama won't disappoint. Nevertheless, it's Lee Min Ho and Choi Jin Hyuk!
Excited for October!!!

mmmm thank you! much better choice than jung yong-hwa, and he's coming off having made a very good impression in gu family book. if he pulls off the role, it could be the career move of his life.
i admit, he didn't make much of an impression on me when i first saw him, in pasta. i thought his face was odd, and his hairstyle not all that flattering. i need romance totally changed my perception of him, and he continued that in gu family book. i was surprised when he did that panda and hedgehog drama, as the second lead to dong-hae, of all people.
i'm likely going to be in the minority, but i'd be even happier if they switched out park shin-hye for a fresher face but i doubt it... if i were her i wouldn't let this go! hopefully though, this drama will change my perception of her as well. i WANT to like her, but she has yet to impress me...

I love him in Gu Family Book!! I hope he appears again soon! I'm hoping for a Wol Ryung and Seo Hwa reunion in the end. I just love this couple!

I'm happy for him, though seriously these are going to be the oldest looking high school students ever. It's not even slightly believable.

I think GFB went down hill after episode 2. CJH was the most romantic and sexy papa gumiho ever!!! Wished he was in more episodes. Can't he come back later as a ghost? He made papa gumiho such a charismatic character.
I liked him in INR, but hated the ending. I like him better than Lee Min Ho's acting.I hope he takes the role in Heirs and gets out of the second leads rut soon. CJH is a very talented actor, and I'm glad he's getting some well deserved recognition finally.
