By Staff Writer | May 08, 2014 11:32 AM EDT

Actress Moon Geun Young and actor Yoo Ah In are contemplating whether to star in the movie "Sah Do." Moon Geun Young was offered the role of Ms. Hong, the wife of Prince Sa Do, and Yoo Ah In was offered the role of Prince Sah Do. Yoo Ah In's agency said, "Yoo Ah In is taking his time making decisions to star in Sah Do after his latest movie Veteran."

On May 8, 2014, Moon Geun Young's agency said in an interview, "Recently, actress Moon Geun Young was offered a role to star in the movie Sah Do, and she is going over the scripts right now. Because this will be her latest role in the movies in a long time, she is taking her time deciding if this would be the right movie. She also had offers from other dramas and movies." If she decides to star in Sah Do, this would make her comeback to the movies in eight years since the 2006 film "I Do Not Need Love."

 "Sa Do" is a historical movie that tells a story of Prince Sah Do. Director Lee Joon Yik of the "King and the Clown" and "Wishes" is to film the movie, and actor Song Kang Ho is to star as the King Young Jo, the father of Prince Sah Do.

Now the YAI is old enough to be believable in  a wider range of roles, I think he will likely be the "Kim Myung Min" of his generation !  Looking forward to his interpretation of Crown Prince Sado but not so happy to imagine the final scenes.  Glad it is a movie instead of a longer drama!

Yoo Ah-in set for 'Sado' role?

Moon Geun-young and Yoo Ah-in

Yoo Ah-in, from the JTBC drama "Secret Love Affair", is considering joining director Lee Joon-ik's historical film "Sado" as the title role. 

In the film, he will play the son of King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Experienced actorSong Kang-ho, of the 2014 "The Attorney", will take on the part of Yeongjo.

"Yoo has been deliberating over starring in the film for a while", noted an official from the film's distributor, Showbox, to local media. 

Besides Yoo and Song, actress Moon Geun-young, 27, is rumored to star as Lady Hyegyeong, portraying the complex feelings she experienced after her husband, Prince Sado, is killed because of the pressures of her own father's political sect. 

Moon's agency, Namoo Actors, nonetheless refused to give concrete answers about the upcoming movie because there are still some details that it needs to discuss with the production team. "The film might be Geun-young's comeback to the big screen after eight years, so we want to make everything is perfectly arranged".

Director Lee Joon-ik's team plans to start filming the movie in fall.

Yoo Ah In and Moon Geun Young confirmed for Sado!!!!

https://m.facebook.com/notes/moon-geun-young-international-fanclub/yoo-ah-in-confirms-for-sado-followed-by-kim-hae-suk-moon-geun-young-and-more/826289287407223/?refid=22&__tn__=C

Following the news on Yoo Ah In being courted as the Crown Prince Sado for the movie Sado or 사도 (working title), director Lee Jun Ik officially announced the confirmed star-studded casts that will frontline his project today.

Media outlets stated that Director Lee Joon Ik, who responsible forThe King and the Clown; the highest grossing Korean film of 2005, and the award winning movie Wish(2013), is making the strongest line-up by adding four new names in his casting line.

Previously reported, senior actor Song Kang Ho, has confirmed to play King Yeongjo. Yoo Ah In, who has just finished the hit series Secret Love Affair, will take on the role as the Crown Prince Sado, whom his own father, King Yeongjo, ordered him to climb into and be sealed within a large wooden rice chest till he died.

Moon Geun Young, making a comeback to the widescreen after eight years, will play as Lady Hye Gyeong, Prince Sado’s wife; the mother of Yi San who became King Jeongjo, and she will witness her husband’s execution. Later she wrote The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyeong, detailing her life as the ill-fated Crown Princess, her husband’s descent into madness and deeds for which he was eventually put to death.

Yoo Ah In reunites again with senior actress Kim Hee Seok, his mother in Tough As Iron who will turn to his grandmother, an influential figure Queen So Chon Song in this movie. Very well fit!

Actress Jeon Hye Jin (Obsessed, 2014) is introduced as the Crown Prince mother and King Yeongjo’s wife, Lady Sonhui. Her boundless love for her only son prevented Lady Sonhui from blaming the Crown Prince for all the turmoil. However, the fear about the future of the four-hundred-year-old Yi dynasty led her to a momentous decision: she had to protect the king, even though it meant giving up her only son.

Meanwhile, actor Park Won Sang (Medical Cross, 2014) also confirmed the cast as Sado’s opponent.

During the 19th century, there were rumors that Prince Sado had not been mentally ill, but had been framed. Sado’s death remains an issue of debate to whether his death was a retribution for his actual misconduct or if he was the victim of a conspiracy by his political opponents. With complicated character that Sado had, Yoo Ah In is expected to bring the new spectrum of acting as the wretched crown prince.

In his recent interview with cine21, director Lee Jun Ik said that he was inspired by Masaky Kobayashi’s movie “Harakiri”, and he would create Sado in a saga/imagination style. The idea of making Sado is based on his thought that they’ve got mountains of stories about fathers killing sons and sons killing fathers, but barely story about Yeongjo-Sado tragedy. While there are so many stories relate to Sado, most of the time they were more about the Great Yeongjo and Jeongjo while objectifying Sado. Therefore he plans to make Sado in a new and different point of view.

Sado plans to crank in on July this year, and will release sometimes next year.
