i cnt wait to see UEE back in acting although i disliked her role in your beautiful i love her hehhe she is a wonderful singer dancer . btw UEE is the lead isnt she ? unnie hwaiting

[deeta]

Alright, I LOVE LOVE Seo Jihye. And I'm okay with Uee. But Lee Yongwoo????? OMG, watching him trying to emote some sort of feelings or expression is so painful. Guy can't act, but why is he getting main lead role already?

Hopefully there will be 2nd male lead and he will be infinitely better than Lee Yongwoo. So I can root for him instead.

[Guest f0reveralways]

YAY SEO JI HYE!

i've never seen lee yong woo act, but YAY. HOT MALE LEAD

..wait. who's the female lead? the order the names are listed makes it seem like SJH is the lead. but reading the plot line makes it sound as if UEE is the lead. o_o ..?

anyway, i hope this drama is good. i'll be looking forward to it in May :P

Seo Ji-hye drops golf drama

February 8th, 2010 // by javabeans

Just a few days after the main cast was announced, lead actress Seo Ji-hye has dropped out of the golfing drama Birdie Buddy [버디버디] (which I had mistaken for Buddy Buddy; the series is based on the manhwa Buddy).

According to production company Group Eight, Seo had agreed to play the role of talented golfer Min Hae-ryung and they proceeded to the final negotiation stages, but differences arose on both sides and she decided against the role after all. After the rest of the cast — led by Lee Yong-woo, UEE — participate in the drama’s production press conference on the 10th, the production will begin looking for a replacement.

Song hopes to sweep Asia off its feet again with "Birdie"

Group Eight CEO Song Byung-joon has high expectations for his new TV series "Birdie Buddy," saying he hopes the show becomes as big as his mega-hit production "Boys Over Flowers" from early last year.

"I have the desire to shake up Asia again with this drama, our first production of the year," Song said during a press conference held at High1 Resort in the Gangwon Province of South Korea on Wednesday.

"Boys," based on Japanese comic series "Hana Yori Dango," took Asia by storm last year during and after its airing in Korea. The show recorded average ratings of 30 percent while selling to over 10 countries in the region.

"Birdie" is also based on a comic -- this time by famed Korean cartoonist Lee Hyun-sae -- who received a presidential award for his golf series of the same name.

"Female Koreans are the best golfers in the world. I started wondering what it would be like, growing up as a female golfer, and decided I wanted to focus on that through a drama," Song explained, adding the show will express what golf is in detail and also contain educational information about the sport.

"I also want to tell the story of our [Korean] mothers throughout Asia and these factors combined will serve as the basis to the drama's success," Song stated.

"Birdie," starring female idol group After School member Uee and dancer-turned-actor Lee Yong-woo, is set to go into shoot starting March.

[Guest DongBangShiDae]

of course i wish that this drama will succeed however!!!

all sports dramas turned out horrible in their own ways

i hope this one will be different

atleast Uee's in it :D

[Guest yeohweping]

Not to be confused with Chuno’s Lee Da-hae, actress Lee Da-hee has been selected as the lead in golf drama Birdie Buddy. She’ll join After School’s UEE as another gifted golfer, and takes over the role initially offered to and vacated by Seo Ji-hye.

Her character Hae-ryung is the daughter to the owner of a top golf resort and possesses “perfect golf skills”; thus Hae-ryung’s advantages contrast with the more humble background of UEE’s character Mi-soo. If you’re wondering who the “real” lead is, it isn’t specifically outlined but I had always assumed that it would be Seo Ji-hye, and now Lee Da-hee. (I may be wrong, but that’s what the description suggested to me; in any case, UEE is still considered a lead as opposed to a supporting role.)

Lee Da-hee had roles in 2007’s Legend and 2008’s Secret of Keu Keu Island; she also acted in movies Beyond All Magic and the more recent prison-choir film Harmony, which starred Kim Yun-jin. Or perhaps you’ll recognize her as Choi Ji-woo’s little sis in 2007’s Air City.

The Group Eight production will begin filming in Gangwon-do on March 25.

Birdie, Buddy reveals their rest of their cast without Uee

[Guest bitter SOOweet]

Ooooooo so Uee is going to be the lead!!! Very nice.

I can't wait to see her! Very different from her role in YB -- prolly a good thing. I don't think a lot of ppl liked her in there cuz of her role.

Anyhow,

I think JJH is perfect to play the child role

and how interesting that 3 from the cast of highkick have been drawn again for this drama!

[Guest capri-shiqi]

Can't wait for this drama! Will be watching it for Uee and story plot!!!

Excited!

[Guest blackjackVip]

LOL.

the Lee Yong Woo guy in the press conference pictures looks like he doesn't wanna be there...lol. he looks so bored and uninterested.

Anyways, i kinda like UEE. Maybe i'll watch this drama, but the "GOLF" concept of it makes me kinda bored, sorry. but let's see how it's going to be once it's out.

-----

EDIT:

OOH!... now i remember where i've seen Lee Yong Woo!...I just searched him and found out that he's from "MAMA 2NE1 musical!" he's the guy that was partnered with Dara in "Kiss" performance as well as the other girls!...oooohh...

so he's that HOT guy?! wow, he's talented I'm starting to like him...

I haven't seen him act YET, but in the 2NE1 musical he's pretty good and charming, I'm looking forward for his acting here :)

[Guest bless_u]

^^ I guess he's a bit shy there... but anyways I'm looking forward to this drama because of Lee Yong Woo... he is so freaken hot.... and handsome...

I hope there will be more photos and news and videos out soon for this drama

[Guest yeohweping]

Uee's first drama still is reveal

http://news.nate.com/view/20100427n02836

[Guest antinh85]

When Seo Ji Hye revealed that she was going to be in this drama; i thought she was the lead girl. But it turns out that UEE was the lead from the beginning. I thought that UEE was 2nd lead and they made her the lead after Seo Ji Hye dropped out. It's rather odd because UEE is still rather new to the acting game. But i support her. Though i dont think it will be that interesting. Golf seems kinda boring but i'll be a good acting experience for her.

GO UEE!!!!!
