Baek Jin-hee drops Six Flying Dragons
by girlfriday
Aw, sad. SBS’s big blockbuster sageuk Six Flying Dragons has lost one of its dragons — Baek Jin-hee (Pride and Prejudice) has bowed out of the drama in the final contract negotiation stage. I only hope this doesn’t mean that other cast members aren’t locked down either, because if Yoo Ah-in or Kim Myung-min walk, I might be going with them.
The drama has been delayed a number of times and is now set to premiere in September, which might have gotten in the way of other projects. Baek Jin-hee’s reps aren’t citing a specific reason for dropping the show, other than it simply not working out in final negotiations. The large-scale historical drama comes from the team behind Tree With Deep Roots and tells the story of the six powerful people — the titular dragons — who established and shaped the early Joseon dynasty.
Yoo Ah-in stars as a young prince Yi Bang-won, before he becomes King Taejong, and Kim Myung-min is Jung Do-jeon, his biggest political rival. Chun Ho-jin (Bluebird’s House) plays Yoo Ah-in’s father Yi Seong-gye, the founder of Joseon who entrusted much of the political infrastructure to his trusted aide Jung Do-jeon.
Baek Jin-hee was cast as Yoo Ah-in’s love interest, a woman who can’t stand to see injustice and fights for those weaker than her. She’s the sister to Byun Yo-han’s character, a warrior who guards Jung Do-jeon. Jung Yumi (Maids) is the woman caught in a love triangle between Kim Myung-min and Byun Yo-han, which is pretty dramatic since one is responsible for the other’s life.
Yoon Kyun-sang (Pinocchio) plays Yoo Ah-in’s bodyguard, and up-and-comer Lee Cho-hee (Who Are You–School 2015, Maids) has joined the cast as a singer who helps Byun Yo-han. She’s had tragic loss in her life but becomes important in his mission, and is described as one of his dragon wings. (If every single one of these dragons gets a pair of wings, this is gonna be a huge freakin’ cast.)
It’s too bad that Baek Jin-hee has dropped the drama, because I liked the lineup as it was. Sure, there’s potential for them to cast someone even better, but then… I’m scared that there’s equal potential for them to cast someone lesser, and I might cry about that. Fingers crossed for a fierce leading lady.
Six Flying Dragons airs in September on SBS.

Lol a lot of people have criticized her acting as emotionless and stiff. Even on TV, I think an announcer even implied somewhere once that Jin Se Yeon really only has a pretty face, which is how she lands her lead roles.
I think most of the hate comes from Doctor Stranger if you've watched :3
If not, I don't really recommend unless you have a loot (like 20 hours worth) of free time ahaha

I've seen two of her dramas (Gaksital and Doctor Stranger). I think she was fine in both of them. Not the best, but not as bad as people make it out to be either.
People are just ridiculously harsh.

She's not that bad if she's just a supporting role. The problem is, she's always getting lead roles and consistently underperformed, not to mention her lack of chemistry with co-stars. Not only that, she's notorious of hopping from one drama to another, when the drama hadn't even finished yet.

Wow that's too bad, Baek Jin Hee is a good actress and good in sageuk too.
I hope the PDs are careful with who they choose to replace her. I think Park Eun Bin can be a good choice.

Really wondering why. Too bad T.T
Some candidates i have in mind
Chun Woo Hee ( i want her as lead of Cheese in the trap too)
Han Groo ( after so many rumours of casting one after another, hope she will get her lead role in primetime dramas soon)
Go Ah Sung ( she just finished a drama, have an upcoming movie but maybe she still can make it)

This is so sad because I just love Baek Jin-hee in Sageuks. I still think Empress Ki was her best role yet and it would be nice to see her in a drama that with potential. Triangle was such a messy disaster, Pride and Prejudice just burned to ashes in the latter half.
I hope they get someone just as capable. It's been a while since Moon Chae-won returned to dramaland, or Moon Geun-young maybe? But I'm doubting the latter since she's already doing a movie with YAI. If this gets more delayed, they might have to hunt a new leading man though.

Moon Chae Won is perfect too . But she has done too many saeguks so perhaps she has no interest in taking another similar to her past work
Another candidates are
Im Joo Eun ( someone give her a chance please. She is too talent)
Kim ji won would fit this role however she already filming another drama
Jung Eun Chae
Kang So Ra ( want to see her in saeguk clothing. It will be a challenge for her to solidify her lead status. She will done filming warm and cozy so she might have rime)
Please cast someone talent
Dont ruin this drama

You either haven't watched a fun one or only watched serious sageuks.. though I admit there's no sageuk that catch my interest atm.
Well, generally political stuffs are boring, but the romance in sageuk are epic!!
You can also try fusion sageuk first, like Arang and The Magistrate or something like Three Muskeeters. I personally love sageuk and my favorite one is Painter of The Wind, minimum politics with lots of beautiful paintings (as the title suggests).

They need to do well in casting this lead role. Han Groo or Kang Sora would be refreshing in a sageuk, please and thank you.
Awww, anyway, I'm excited for Lee Chohee and Jung Yumi's reunion (since they worked together in Maids).

I kinda hope they offer Moon Chae Won the role. It's been a while since she did a sageuk and also two years since her last drama. She said she would make her comeback to the small screen this year but the longer it takes it will be more unlikely to happen. So maybe she will choose this drama. :) Of course only when she feels comfortable with the drama and role.

For some reason I really want Kim Ji Won in this, even though she has a drama at the moment.
I'm still waiting for her to land her major breakthrough role that showcases her talent :3 after watching High Kick with her, her role in Heirs did not do her justice
Hopefully they somehow..cast her :3
and if not, Moon Chae Won comeback! > <

But at least it wasn't jin seyeon, I can't stand that girl AT ALL. SSK is hella bad too tho Uhhhhgg, nothing will make me feel better.

I don't like SSK's acting in general either, but I'm not nearly as salty as other people about her casting. I really enjoyed TWDR, maybe I was so engrossed in the actual story to care, idk. But really, I trust Kim Young Hyun's writing so I probably won't be bothered by SSK being in the drama.
