[drama 2007] Air City 에어시티

[Guest puppyiz]

YES !?! OH really Rubie..?!

The very same Lee Jung Jae !! W W!! Thanx so much for confirming.

Much appreciated for enligtening me (& everyone visiting this thread) more on our much adored Princess JiWoo & Lee Jung Jae .

Yeah... I most certainly agree with you on the AIR CITY's plot, Rubie.

LJJ & JiWoo this would be definitely be impressive in this upcoming drama !

(Guess, I'll just have try and to wait more patiently for the time being )

This is just too exciting ... cant wait for more announcements, from you gals again.

Hi puppyiz, good to read your comments. I can't wait for the series to start as well. I hope everything pushes through for the main leads especially. I adore CJW in Beautiful Days and I like the plot which is something dynamic & not the typical romantic type (hopefully). An LJJ... what can I say... he's an all time favourite along with LBH. It's really exciting that he's been strongly recommended/mentioned for the lead role in Air City. Like many others, we can't wait to watch LJJ on the small screen... the last drama he did was in 1998, like... 9 years ago. Though he had been offered various drama leading roles (with very high fee), he had famously turned down and decline all. So, it'll be something to really look forward to if he's indeed going to be in the series.

To answer your question, yes... this is the very same Lee Jung Jae who gave us Il Mare. His latest movie (as he's more into movies, that's why we don't see him in dramas) was of course, Typhoon. I just can't wait to see the chemistry he'll develop with CJW in the upcoming drama if all goes well. One thing for sure, in terms of age and height.. the two could complement each other perfectly and will definitely look gorgeous and very charismatic in formal attire or suits. With plots and storyline written by credible scriptwriters of Joo Mong, All In, etc... we hope that the series will be a hit as well.

Btw, here are two more updates posted at the News thread on CJW, courtesy yeohweping (oops, it's already been posted) and CindyW88. The first update on LJJ was actually translated to English by CindyW88, from the Korean news updates. As the series is scheduled to air only in May, don't think there'll be much updates or pics (yet)... probably not till March or April. Although, the leads seem 90% confirmed, we can't really be sure. Until there's a media conference to introduce the drama + cast, anything can change from now till then. Even when the cast is already confirmed, things can still be adjusted. Let's just hope that everything goes well, ok.

Hope we'll see ay_link soon to update the info of the thread, too... the threadmistress is currently busy in the excellent Lovers drama thread. :blush:

[Guest puppyiz]

An update just been posted at the News thread. Translated & shared by CindyW88.

Since there's no actual confirmation on the drama news, on either CJW or LJJ's side, let's just keep an open thought and hope for everything to eventually work out.

------

1/16/07 – Lee Jung Jae (34) is selected to lead the movie “Legend of Flying Dragon (비룡전, 飛龍傳)”. This movie is based on Japanese popular play “The First Class Revolution – Legend of Flying Dragon (초급혁명강좌 비룡전)”, and it will be debuted simultaneously in both Korea and Japan.

LJJ plays the role Sang Soo (상수) who is a simple-minded policeman involved in the violent student movement happened in 1980s. Since LJJ has been selected to lead the MBC drama “Air City”, the production companies of “Legend of Flying Dragon” and “Air City” agree to resolve the conflict of LJJ’s filming schedules. Actress Choi Ji Woo is selected to costar with LJJ in “Air City”. LJJ’s previous movie project was “Typhoon”.

[Guest genna]

It sounds interesting, lol, not exactly the storyline though since I have watched shows revolving around airports and etc, but the fact that LJJ will be starring in the drama is enough to motivate me in watching all 60 episodes. Hopefully this won't turn into a big disappointment and LJJ rejects the role. I want to see a press con soon xD As for CJW... er I don't like her, possibly due to the roles she's had in the past. It'd be great if her character in Air City is different than the pitiful cry your eyes out type.

[Guest Hyc]

I am just posting the article for update. Looks like this is still not the official announcement from the agency of both the leading actors, we shall wait for further confirmation.

Lee Jung Jae returning to small screen after 8 years, romancing Choi Ji Woo in the airport

Briefly translated by ylin

Korean renowned actor and actress, Lee Jung Jae and Choi Ji Woo were selected to lead MBC's new drama "Air City".

On 26 January, the production company announced that both of them have started rehearsing the scripts in the afternoon.

This is Choi Ji Woo's first drama after 3 years, her previous drama - "Stairways to Heaven" was produced in 2004. This is also Lee Jung Jae's return to the small screen after 8 years. His last drama was "White Night 3.98” back in 1998.

Lee Jung Jae plays the role of Kim Ji Sung, a national secret agent who has acute observation and calm judgment capability. Despite the strong character, he will not easily fall in love as he had the hurtful experience of separation from a previous romance.

On the other hand, Choi Ji Woo will play the role of a manager of the operation department at Incheon International Airport. She devoted her life to the airport, a person who only cared about her work in the airport. However, her life started to change tremendously after her acquaintance with Kim Ji Sung played by Lee Jung Jae. She felt love for the first time and gradually started to pay attention and have contact with the outside world.

At the end of the first rehearsal, Lee Jung Jae said, "My wish now is to work conscientiously to the production of a good drama. I feel extremely excited whenever I have the thought that I will be meeting the audience soon and I can feel the heavy burden on my shoulder.

It is reported that "Air City", Korean's first drama based on Incheon International Airport, will start filming in early February and will be launched in the first half of the year.

p.s. Starjiwoo has also confirmed the news
