What? This is very interesting. Why do they insist on bringing these two together?

please do not quote images, thank you. :)

[dulcinea1 1,258]

Hyun Bin in my country (Spain)? I'm so excited !

Will it be preproduced? That would make sense if they record many scenes outside Korea.

I hope they'll make the most of Granada and its beautiful views as Descendants of the Sun made in Greece.

I can't wait to wait something like this in a drama:

View from the Alhambra

[stroppyse 107,406]

@LyraYoo, thanks for starting the thread! I love the gifs from scenes in Confidential Assignment. It would be so amazing to have some action scenes in this drama as well. I can only hope.

 

So happy that Hyun Bin is finally risking another drama! Now, we just have the long wait until September...

Yaaaa... HB oppa!! Long time he didn't return to dramaland since HJM. Ah.. miss him a lot! 

 

Yesterday I read PSH is considering for the lady role for this, I'm not sure if the news is right or just a rumor. She was ever reported for the same thing before  it's been twice already. I hope this time will be right. I expect she'll take the role. And it would be a dream pairing come true! 

[stroppyse 107,406]

Just read the revised genre and plot information at Orion's Daily Ramblings from the link on the first post, and I'm excited by the statement that HB will be able to portray the action and melodramatic sides of the hero. My two favorite genres for HB to be in: action and melo! I know that this drama is supposed to be a fantasy romance, but as long as they don't do terrible CGI stuff to him again, I'll be watching. The writer also seems to have a preference for writing complicate plots, but hopefully, it won't go too mental or anything. Is it September yet?

[jongski 36,875]

Looking at the writer's previous drama... Is this gonna be fantasy one? When done right it's good but  I want to see Hyun Bin in just  straight up good old drama. Nothing out of this world  experience.

[nefartum_29 8,058]

what kind of drama really is what kind of place is called fantastic melodrama. In some places it is called science fiction.

Park Shin-hye up to join Hyun Bin in Memories of the Alhambra

Apparently the universe just wants this pairing to happen, and you know what happens when you try to fight Fate in dramaland. A few months ago, Park Shin-hye (Doctors) and Hyun Bin (The Swindlers) were both courted for the new SBS drama Fox Bride Star (now called People of Incheon Airport), the latest from the PD of Gu Family Book and Secret Garden and the writer of Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim. But both actors ended up passing on the project, only to end up being offered the same new project right after it—tvN’s Memories of the Alhambra. 

This is the new fantasy melodrama from writer Song Jae-jung of mind-bendy fantasy dramas W–Two Worlds, Nine, and Queen In-hyun’s Man, and PD Ahn Gil-ho of last year’s critically acclaimed conspiracy thriller Forest of Secrets. Hyun Bin has just signed on to star in the leading role, and Park Shin-hye’s reps have confirmed that she passed on Fox Bride Star and is now considering Memories of the Alhambra favorably. 

The drama is about a CEO of an investment firm who goes to Granada, Spain on business and makes a visit to the Alhambra Palace. He stays at an old hostel run by the heroine, a former guitarist, and the two of them end up entangled in a strange situation. Earlier announcements described the project as a sci-fi action thriller involving an alternate reality through augmented reality games. 

Hyun Bin’s character, Yoo Jin-woo, is an engineer with a natural-born talent for inventing games. He also has sharp business instincts, which he uses to become the CEO of an investment company. He’s competitive and adventurous and hates to lose even the smallest of bets. He suffers his greatest setback in the form of a friend’s betrayal just before his trip to Spain, where his life takes a sudden and unexpected turn. I can only imagine what crazy alternate/parallel/past/future universes this writer has planned, but I’m excited to find out.

Memories of the Alhambra plans to air later this year on tvN.

Hi Mari, good to see you here as well

 

I'm so excited about MOA, and i guess it'll be pre produced since there are articles saying it will air in Nov while they will start shooting next month. Many articles from TVN state this drama is expected to be one of their biggest project this year beside Mr Sunshine. I guess we can expect at least a gorgeous drama.
