@mrdimples  CJH's acting in I need romance was really great.. but I didn't like the drama was because of the ending.. in fact.. I was FURIOUS at the ending.. from a girl's perspective
panda and hedgehog is not so good.. but his character is cute in there

he was the lead for it's okay daddy's girl.. but the drama wasn't so great. I didn't watch it... and also that long family drama with Jin se yeon .. My daughter the flower.. he is lead too...I still haven't finished yet.. I left off at 40s or 50s ep last year
He wasn't so popular before was because of his old agency.. they were not so great.. Gu is the first project he got after he changed agency to red brick house

CHOI JIN HYUK JOINS HEIRS! (UPDATE: IT’S NOT CONFIRMED, HE’S CONSIDERING THE OFFER)

We shed tears when Jung Yong Hwa dropped Heirs but now we scream for joy that Choi Jin Hyuk has taken his place(?)!  I’m not sure what character he will play but we do know we’ll get to see his pretty face and hot bod (and hopefully some angsty shower scenes). We loved him in I Need Romance and Tessieroo is still crying over his storyline in Gu Family Book. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of Writer Kim Eun Sook’s work but with a cast like this, I will definitely be glued to my screen. Choi Jin Hyuk joins Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho.

Heirs is scheduled to air on SBS in October.

UPDATE:

So another source is saying it’s not confirmed and he’s considering the offer (per his agency). What is there to consider? Granted, if I were him, I would seriously think of  the believability of playing a high schooler if it applies (apparently, the drama is about wealthy high schoolers) but on the other hand, does he have a better offer? So I guess we just have to wait and see with this one.

======================================================

@mrdimples 
here is the tweet translation from enewsworld
“Listen, all losers who see everything in a negative and impure way. For what do you think I confided things like that? Even though I’m still a newcomer six years after debut, I don’t have any lingering desire [to get attention.]”

Woohoo! Choi Jin-hyuk — aka the most romantic gumiho ever — is currently up for upcoming buzz drama Heirs, which stars Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye and comes from the pen of star writer Kim Eun-sook (Secret Garden). He’s received the offer and is currently “positively considering” it. Everybody knock some wood, throw some salt, and do your rain dances now!

This is also the drama that recently lost or dropped (depending on how you read it) Jung Yong-hwa due to conflict of opinion with the producers. Now, I think Yong-hwa’s cute and talented as a musician, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that this would be the best trade-off EVER. I love Choi Jin-hyuk all on his own, though, so I’d be excited no matter whom he was replacing. He has a wonderful warmth and groundedness that makes him super appealing even in terrible projects (ahem, It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl), though of course I’d prefer seeing him in something solid.

If Choi signs on (please oh please), the cast would actually be much better than I dared hope; when the second lead slot opened up again I figured the most I would hope for was an appealing young guy who maybe had some charisma who wouldn’t totally sink the ship. Instead we get a guy who might seriously challenge my allegiance to the main romantic pairing, because seriously, what’s it take for Choi Jin-hyuk to get a Happily Ever After around here? (See: I Need Romance, Panda and Hedgehog.) And even when he does, well, the drama tends to not be worth watching.

I do think the entire cast is a bit old to be revisiting adolescence (Park Shin-hye could pull it off, but the guys are definitely twentysomething leading men now) but the drama is reportedly all about chaebols (thus heirs) and sparkling romantic comedy told in a Gossip Girl-like way, and Gossip Girl always felt like it was 16-year-olds acting 30. (Which is funny since Kim Eun-sook’s characters are usually 30 acting 16. But maybe this weird dichotomy will work out well for this project.)

Gah, now we just have to wait. Till October. Which is forever away.

p/s : I've already got second lead syndrome again!! Why can't they cast him as a lead? grrr...

′구가의 서′ 최진혁, 짧은 출연 긴 반향 〃연기 인생 최고의 작품〃(인터뷰)     ‘九家之书’崔振赫，出演短、反响长"演技人生中的最棒作品"（专访）[Exclusive] 'Gu Family Book' Choi Jin Hyuk's Brief but Impressionable Appearance "Best Piece of his Career"   
Gu Family Book's Choi Jin Hyuk (CJH) plays protector spirit Gu Wol Ryung whose character meets with demise after 2 episodes. Though his appearance was brief, CJH has a special fondness for this project. 

Gu Wol Ryung is a man who has led a lonely existence for 1,000 years. He falls in love after meeting the maiden Yoon Seo Hwa. In order to protect her, he puts his life at risk, but inevitably is unable to avoid her betrayal. CJH gives a perfect portrayal of the ill-fated Gu Wol Ryung; becoming "hero" of the swiftly rising viewership ratings. At times cheerful and innocent, decisive and charming, Gu Wol Ryung has been nabbing the hearts of audiences. CJH's strapping 186cm built and handsome features, together with his ripped physique have aided him in bringing out the best of the character.  
"To hear many praising me, I feel shy and embarrassed, and a little dazed. I feel that the positive reviews are due to a good script and the PDs ability to hide my acting flaws. My exterior appearance and Wol Ryung's is similar. This is my first time trying out a long hairdo and it actually suits me. The makeup team and I were pleasantly surprised. In that case, I may consider leaving my hair long. Though my ahjusshi-like habit of wanting to trim my hair each time it grows may pose as a problem. (laughs)"
When asked about having regrets over his character's early exit, he says, "Although I was regretful (about the exit), there was never any hesitation. When I read the script I could feel like Wol Ryung would be someone that would leave a strong impression." "The first two episodes had a lot of shocking and fresh elements; I had to take the role on. I also contemplated the fact that I'd probably never have an opportunity again to act out a male version of the Gumiho. Because of this (role), my fellow peers in the industry are envious of me. Being that enthusiastic about a project for the first time has made it all the more unforgettable for me. It's a pity that Wol Ryung had to die, but there's a possibility that he would make a re-appearance."
CJH's filming was done in February at a secluded part of Jeju Island's mountainous regions. The bitter cold of winter and many action scenes caused much of his suffering, however there was one scene and dialogue that gave him the most pain. "The part where I was stabbed by Dam Pyung Joon's sword; the part where I was breathless and asked Seo Hwa why she did what she did, was the most difficult scene of my entire career. I had to act it out with heart so that audiences would be moved. The vigorous jerking of the suspension cables during Wol Ryung's death in mid air made my shoulders bruised and swollen."
Making his debut in the 2006 drama 'Just Run!', CJH has been acting for some time. According to him, 'PASTA' and 'I Need Romance' are his only successful works, with hardly any chance of viewers remembering him before 'Gu Family Book'. "'I Need Romance' is a piece that I am quite satisfied with, but 'PASTA' is something that I really wish to erase from memory. That period of time was when I felt like I needed to rest, and the filming was done under circumstances where I was neither prepared mentally nor physically. Therefore I did not manage to give my best. Come to think of it,  I don't feel good now. Having done mostly comedy, I'd love to try something like the movie 'Friends' which is a story about men. I want to challenge a wild and faster paced type of acting."
When asked about his goal after hitting a long-awaited career high, CJH confesses, "I've actually never set any kind of goals before. There are bound to be mistakes made when doing anything as well as non smooth-sailing moments. Rather than to be an actor who purely aims to reach his goal, I want to become an actor that moves people. In the past, sunbae Jo Min Soo told me that no matter how much effort and hard work is put in there'll always be an area with regrets. So I have to try even harder. Her words touched me deeply."
"Not forgetting the initial feelings and nervousness acting in 'Gu Family Book', I'd always remember the warm love received from everyone. To have been, and to always be letting others see my acting; that is my non-goal of a goal."
