larus Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hope this drama will be a good one. It sounds interesting because we don't see many sageuks where people from the lower class are the main characters. Oh Ji ho played in Chuno a slave, right? I think this drama is different. So far we have little information about our characters. All four main leads will be from the lower class or just one? I read a little about the social system of Joseon period. Here is a link with some information about this subject. I can't wait to know more about this drama. OMG @ravendark! What a long list of dramas! Hope you'll have time to watch this one too. I hope we'll have subtitles for this drama, but I'm not optimist about it. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larus Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 No more news. Just a little information. I read somewhere that they are looking for extras to play the servants, 20- 40 something people. I am sure they are in the talks with the female leads and the supporting cast just that we don`t know the details yet. Something more, I saw that Dramafever has this drama on the waiting list. It looks like it will have 24 episodes (but it is not official). So maybe there is a little chance to be translated. Dramafever has this synopsis: ”Set in the Joseon Dynasty, three women learn what love means as they try to navigate through the class system and survive.” This gave me a little different perspective about this show. So, we have to expect of 3 leading ladies for this drama? It looks like a female centric drama. OK. I like it and I hope for a good story. Please!

larus Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Finally we have some news about this drama. No, no news about the three female important characters. Other dramas from November have started filming already but... it is OK. We go there eventually.We have news about our hero, Mo-myeong, Oh Ji-ho`character. I was sure that he was an undercover man and not a real servant. Oh, well. Everything is predictable for me so far but I stay positive. I don`t know why but I have a good feeling about this drama. I can`t wait for more news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has an alter ego as an undercover in the Manwoldang and holds an amazing secret that's expected to be the standing stone of the drama. A source claims, "There's no better actor than Oh Ji-ho to play Moo-myeong and his seasoned performance should shine in "Servants"".Oh Ji-ho said, "I was attracted by the character of Moo-myeong who goes undercover. As an actor I think it's luck when I meet a character that I want to play so much". source> Hancinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larus Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was wrong. We have the female lead. She is Jeong Yu-mi. I know nothing about her. OK. I read her filmography. I saw her in Dong Yi and Painter of the Wind but I don`t remember her. She played lead roles before and she won awards too so it seams that she is a good actress. I can`t wait to discover her in this drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larus Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 It`s confirmed that Kim Dong Wook will play the character of Kim Eun Gi in the drama Servants. I hope for a good role for him. A new addition to the cast was announced today. I don`t know the actress. The translation says...이시아/ Yisiah (Lee Si Ah/ Lee Shi-a ????) I think she will be the second lead, the translation said she is a "cute witch villainess". She is a rookie actress, she played/plays a little role in My Lovely Girl as Yoon So-Eun.
