So is it really true now that he will be staying away from action themed dramas? :(

Yay! So psyched <3

I think the last time Ji Chang Wook really had a chance to show his acting prowess was when he did Empress Ki. I did like Healer and K2 was ok, but he did not really do much acting wise. I can't wait for this new drama.

I wish I could see him making a weekend drama, for example. A light comedy, full of clichés... maybe with a dorky character.

It would be refreshing for him.

Wookie... Do a good drama please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird. By all accounts I thought K2 was going to be his last drama prior to his enlistment? He is already 29, seems like this is cutting it awfully close?

Woot! Wookie is coming back to dramaland! Can't wait. Praying that this will be good. And please cast him with a good actress.

Doesn't he need to enlist sometime soon?

Is this like a last gift before he enlists? Omg, I thought The K2 will be his last one and now there is a possibility of melo? Yes, yes, yes! Don't get me wrong, I love him in action, but when drama is so overblown (the way The K2 was) acting gets lost and it's such a shame, since JCW is a very good actor. I am especially happy, because I watched Lotte's promotional drama (good laugh, I reccomend) and was swooning my heart out at his episode (so much bias for this guy... Though Park Hae-jin, damn his rolled up sleeves.). I will be praying for this to work!

Yay! Awesome news! I really thought I have to wait two more years to see ji chang wook in anything again and I really wanted to see him do a non-action role. So, this news feels like a double bonus!

Clears throat.....

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

OMG I LOVED "Secret Love." It was total makjang at its makjangiest, but Ji Sung made it watchable. And Wook has said for ages that he wanted to attempt a wicked meaty role where the lead actually dies. "K2" almost had his prayers answered... but then the script lost its way. *sigh*

But he is truly pushing the limits of his enlistment date. I worry a bit about the blow-back from the Knetz, but hey if you can work the system, more power to ya sweetie! ???

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Yay! A new project for Wookie!

I believe he wanted The K2 to be his last drama before his enlistment but when that didn't turn out that great, I guess he reconsidered. You know how actors like to leave for enlistment with a really really good drama so that the audience will still remember them when they return. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

Anyway, I hope they partner him with a great actress, one that could match his acting skills (please not an idol hehe)! Good luck, Wookie!

Praying for a good female lead!!!

*fist pump*
he always wanted to do melo!
*off to dance*

p.s- can he be exempted from service since his omma has only him..just wondering..

Yay! This is great news! I thought for sure K2 will be his last and off he goes to military to disappear from my life for 2 years and I'll be all sad and depressed... Glad that doesn't seem to be the case! Please let this show be Wookie's final OOMPH!!! so we can send him off on a high note.

(Shame though, I was wishing for him to be in a sageuk. It's been a while since Empress Ki... Well that and he just looks MAJESTIC with long locks or a top knot. *Wistful sigh*)

Despite the misleading plots of The K2, the background music and the chemistry between Jeha and the President's wife was top notch. They both ruled the screen time. Want to see them together again. I also hope to see Ji chang Wook and Jun Ji Hyun in a drama together.
Nice to hear that Chang Wook is considering to take up this drama. Hope to see him soon in action.

Yay! I loved Mask - until the last 5 or so episodes. But maybe the writer can do him justice, unlike in The K2, which I dropped after 2 episodes.

Now he just needs a good actress. Park Min Young would be great just because of their previously-demonstrated awesome chemistry :)

No tragic endings please!

Moon Chae Won as his female lead, maybe?Plretty please? *.*

I hope "The Happiest Time of My Life" would be a rom-com. It sounds bright and fun. If JCW picks this one, that means he likes the script and he has confident to do his role well. I want Park Shin Hye and JCW ! They would look very cute together :)

Such a nice suprise,i was already preparing my heart to say goodbye for 2 years thinking he will now like to the army...I like the writer,her dramas are quite addicting,fast paced and with intretsing characters...now hope the cast will be indeed good with a good actress fir the leading lady

Indeed happy news. although like many i consider empress ki like his best but i think acting wise healer is not less than that either. i mean just episode 14 proves that. in a way he has matured a lot. what really makes him special in acting is his body language and his eyes. he does the talking really without the talking

MOON CHAE WON PLS GODS!!!!! I miss her....or Kim Ji Won!

Maybe he wants us to remember him in a meatier role compared to Jeha of K2. i felt that character was just a character- nothing layered. Just fight and keep flighting. In Healer at least the character was multi dimensional. so hope his next project is a better one and would challenge him the way he wanted

Regarding the article, i found it odd that you felt like he was leaping too quickly to another show. No sooner than DOTS finished, Song Joong Ki started filming the Battleship Island series with So Ji Sub. Gong Yoo had 4 shows in 2016: A Man and a Woman, Train to Busan, Age of Shadows and Goblin. I am thankful these actors that are so talented (and handsome) are serving us so swiftly with new shows because i miss the heck out of them after each show ends.

Wow this is indeed good news for all of us fans of JCW! He is a very versatile actor so I welcome any news of him for any future drama! I hope that he be team up with a very fine actress too!

More power JCW! And more projects to come in 2017 before you enlist!
