*** Yesterday it was reported that he turned down the sageuk drama "Cut to the Heart" with Son Ye Jin due to conflict with movie filming schedule. But, today, I read an article that Kang Ha Neul will appear as another character in the drama instead of the male lead Ondal. According to a media outlet, Kang Ha Neul will appear as Ondal’s father. He was originally offered to play the role of Ondal, but decided to take on another character as it became impossible to join the project as lead role due to his movie schedules. Onhyeop, played by Kang Ha Neul, is the father of the male lead Ondal. He is one of the main characters in the early parts of the drama, and will instill an image of “the nation’s General.”

10 K-Dramas That Marked Actors’ Return From The Military

 

When it comes time for an actor to enlist in the military, fans tend to convey a variety of responses. Sometimes it’s disappointment, sadness, sorrow, or even pride that their favorite actor is serving their country. At the time of enlistment, it might seem like you’ll never see them again, but the truth is, time does pass and actors do return from the military, eager to take on new projects. Here are 10 actors and the K-dramas that marked their return from the military.

 

Note: List is in no particular order!

 

 

8. “When the Camellia Blooms” – Kang Ha Neul

Much to the sadness of his fans, Kang Ha Neul enlisted in the army on September 11, 2017 and was discharged on May 23, 2019. Although his enlistment was devastating, a couple of his movies were released while he was in the military, which made it a little less painful. These movies included the psychological thriller “Forgotten” and the fantasy movie “I Have a Date with Spring.”

 

 

Talk about a strong comeback into dramaland! “When the Camellia Blooms” was Kang Ha Neul’s first drama after serving in the military, and with this role, he swept several awards including Best Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards and KBS Drama Awards. It was his first time getting either of these recognitions, so it was quite the big deal for Kang Ha Neul!

15 Lines By K-Drama Male Leads That Still Give Us Butterflies

 

Every K-drama fan goes through a moment when watching a really good series. It’s that moment when the main lead drops an oh-so-romantic line that has you completely swooning. Over the very long history of K-dramas, there have been a handful that K-drama fans are still unable to get over. Here are 15 of those epic, heart-stopping lines.

 

 

9. “When the Camellia Blooms”

“If we actually start a relationship, I promise that it’ll be out of this world. You’ll be so happy everyday that you’ll totally lose it.”

-Hwang Yong Sik (Kang Ha Neul)-

 

 

After Yong Shik falls in love at first sight with Dong Baek (Gong Hyo Jin), he pursues her with the intent of hopefully marrying her one day. Despite his strong feelings for her, Dong Baek has her guard up and can’t seem to accept Yong Shik’s feelings as a result of the pain she had to endure from her ex-boyfriend. After she tells Yong Shik that all guys are the same, the pain in his heart is evident, but he doesn’t let it stop him from telling her exactly what he’s feeling. It’s the perfect thing to say to make her second guess rejecting him.

5 Powerful Movies That Celebrate Youth

 

 

Have you ever wished you could go back to your younger days? Or are you enjoying the freedom of your youth right now, but want to grow up faster? We’ve selected five movies of different genres that celebrate youth in their own unique ways: action, romance, friendship, crime thriller, and coming of age. Take a look, you might find something just right for your young soul.

“Midnight Runners”

 

Ki Joon (Park Seo Joon) and Kee Yeol (Kang Ha Neul) are university students with one dream: becoming kickass police officers. So it’s not a surprise when the duo witness a kidnapping and immediately think to alert the local police. However, to their anger and disappointment, the report is brushed off with a blank, “We’re already too busy.” Ki Joon and Kee Yeol decide to take matters into their own hands and investigate the case further. They eventually find out that they are dealing with a gang running an egg harvesting ring. Have they gotten themselves into something too big for themselves?

 

These two friends may not be the most educated nor the most experienced; but they have the most youthful passion for justice. What once seemed like an unlikely duo unravels itself into the most professional pair of amateurs, and even heroes. One of the many perks of youth is being reckless and bold, not fearing failure. Watch “The Midnight Runners” to chase your own action-packed, comedy dream.

 

Watch “Midnight Runners” now!
