[drama 2008][upcoming] Lovers In Aska 아스카의 연인

[Guest huangsy]

Thanks for starting the thread, huangsy.

But, is it Aska or Asuka?

I think is Aska as in Chage and Aska.

Asuka in Korean would be 아수카.

Choi Ji-woo to star in Korea-Japan drama

Date: August 01, 2008

Korean actress Choi Ji-woo who has led Hallyu (referring to the popularity of Korean pop culture, especially across Asia) is set to star in a melodrama to be jointly produced by Korea and Japan.

A spokesman for Choi said she has been cast in Lovers in Asuka, set in Nara Prefecture in Japan's Kansai region.

Korea's Olive9, the producers of Jumong, Hwangjini, and The King and I, will be responsible for production and Japan's Dentsu Group for attracting investment and distribution.

Since the drama is aimed at revitalizing the Hallyu or Korean Wave once again in Japan, Kang Eun-jung, writer for the drama and director Boo Seong-cheol, said they chose a Hallyu star.

Shooting starts in September in Nara, for airing in December.

Meanwhile, Korean and Japanese production, broadcasting and marketing companies have joined hands for content creation, investment, production, broadcasting and distribution for the 20-episode drama.

Choi Ji-woo co-starred with Bae Yong-joon in the Korean melodrama Winter Sonata, which was a huge success in Japan. Choi Ji-woo is therefore the obvious choice to star in this drama.

Hello, everybody~

I received some questions from a lot of fans about the article

which made the Sport Korea today.

I tell you the information that I talked with Jiwoo's manager on the phone.

The article about "Lovers in Asuka" was not announced officially

by the management Co of Jiwoo.

It seems to be the article which was written under some articles

which were appearing the other day, without confirm.

He said that they haven't chosen one from among many works which she consider, yet.

The all false reports have been corrected by her management Co.

He said that please tell fans...I'm sorry that we can't tell you a good news soon

because we choose very carefully and please take care in this hot and humid.

I hope they tell us a good news soon.

Please support Jiwoo and all staff who have trouble for her next work

in this hot and humid weather.

Thanks for the reply, huangsy.

Is it really a "go" or not? The suspense is killing me.

I'm anticipating who her next leading man wud be. I was happy to hear it was Go Soo but it seems it's not. Joo Jin mo or So Ji sub wud be great too.

The announcement better be here soon.
