DRAMA CASTING & NEWS
Park Seo-joon, Go Ara, Park Hyung-shik courted for historical drama
by girlfriday | November 2, 2015 |

ParkSeoJoon_GoAra_ParkHyunShik1.jpg

My first thought with this casting news is, Wow, that’s a pretty cast, followed closely by,Please don’t be 50 episodes long. ‘Cause I want to be watching this drama if they get these actors to sign on. A new sageuk is in the works called Hwarang, about the young and beautiful Hwarang warriors of the Silla dynasty (Queen Seon-deok’s era), and offers are out to the young and beautiful Park Seo-joon (She Was Pretty), Go Ara (You’re All Surrounded), and Park Hyung-shik (High Society) to star.

 

The new drama comes from Oh Boy Pictures, the production company behind the Flower Boy dramas on tvN (Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, Flower Boy Next Door). Sageuk seems like a departure for them, except when you consider the subject matter — the Hwarang were an elite group of highly educated young aristocratic warriors founded in the 6th century who were known for their beauty. Their name translates to: hwa = flower, rang = boy. So basically, the original flower boys.

It makes sense then, that the drama was originally called Hwarang: To the Beginning, if what they mean to do is go back to the origins of the flower boy. I wonder if that makes the series more like the youth-centered Sungkyunkwan Scandal than a conventional sageuk, though these days fusion is almost a given.

Park Hyung-shik has been offered the role of King Jinheung, who ruled Silla from 540 to 576 during the Three Kingdoms period. He took the throne at 15 and became one of Silla’s greatest kings, responsible for vastly expanding its territory and establishing the basis for the later unification of the kingdoms. Lady Mishil was one of his consorts, though nothing in the drama descriptions names her as a potential character in this story. Character descriptions weren’t provided for Park Seo-joon and Go Ara, and for now all three actors are unconfirmed.

Casting stories initially stated that the series was being shopped at KBS for a potential January premiere; but KBS denied that it was being considered for their schedule (which makes sense, since they’re already airing Murim School and Descended From the Sun). It seems like a lot is still up in the air with this production, but I hope it’ll find a broadcaster soon. What can I say — Flower Boy Warrior Legion sounds hot.

Hwarang is aiming to start shooting in December, for a January broadcast.

Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik Courted for Shilla Era Sageuk Drama Hwarang

Posted on November 2, 2015 by ockoala

Striking while the iron is hot is never a bad thing, especially in the fickle and short attention span world of entertainment. That’s why I’m not surprised to hear that Park Seo Joon is already in talks for another drama despite his currently drama She Was Pretty not even done airing yet. Looks like this particular drama production is looking for good looking current It Boys of K-drama because it’s also in talks for Park Hyung Sik to join.

The drama in question is a sageuk called Hwarang, set during the Shilla period of the 10th century historical Korea. It’s an era that’s very familiar for me since I watched all of Queen Seondeok about the titular Shilla queen, as well as Seo Dongyeo which was set during the conflict of the Baekjae and Shilla nations. Hwarang is about the historical Shilla era flower boy scholar-warriors called Hwarangs, so casting Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik is basically a no brainer. The drama is slated for KBS Mon-Tues in 2016, likely after Moorim School.

 

 

hays1.jpg

Park Hyung Sik’s idol-actor career continues to develop nicely in the acting component, with a drama stealing turn alongside Lim Ji Yeon in the SBS drama High Society earlier this year. Funnily enough, that drama offered the male lead role to Park Seo Joon first but he turned it down and eventually it went to Sung Joon. That wasn’t a very interesting role to be honest so Park Hyung Sik really lucked out in getting a better role even if it was the second male lead. I’ll keep my eye on Hwarang to see how the final casting shakes out, but it’ll be interesting if both Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik accepts since neither has done a sageuk before.

2016 Sageuk Hwarang to Be Fully Pre-filmed and Confirms First Leading Man in Park Hyung Sik

Posted on December 10, 2015 by ockoala

para

Park Hyung Sik is certainly a young actor willing to challenge himself. I think he’s fared exceedingly well in his last three acting forays – he got positive face time in the big name packed cast of Heirs, stepped up to young leading man opposite heavy weights in weekend dramaWhat’s With this Family, and deftly stole the drama as the second male lead in High Society. I’m not certain that having potential and being a good project picker means his next acting gig will work out, but I like him so much that I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Park Hyung Sik is confirmed for 2016 flower boy laden sageuk Hwarang, based on the legendary flower boy noble scholar warriors of the same name during the Shilla era. The drama is taking a page from the playbook of both Descendants of the Sun and Arbitrarily Fond, Hwarang will also be pre-filmed and aims to air simultaneously in Korea and China sometime in mid-2016.

 

 

saa

With Park Hyung Sik confirmed, the other two courted leads Park Seo Joon and Go Araremain in serious talks to do the drama as well. I don’t think this drama is anywhere done with main casting yet, and fully expect lots more pretty faces to join up with the Hwarang brigade before filming starts in early January. It is reportedly scheduled to film for three plus months to end around May, and hopefully by then the approvals in China will have come down and the drama can air in the summer.

Hello  @irilight

How are you? 
A sageuk about " An elite group of highly educated young aristocratic warriors founded in the 6th century who were known for their beauty.." that in itself sounds like a lot of fun!   

Thank you very much for the invitation.

Waving hi to @suchadiva42, @gerrytan8063, @SMP567   wave-smiley.gif

 

@gerrytan8063 Queen Seondok had a similar effect on me. ( although I did not travel to Gyeongju ...)   I love Kim Nam-Gil's Bidam... And even now, as I think of Hwarang, I think about some of QS's Hwarang characters. I wonder if this drama might bring some of them back.

Regarding Viki, even if it is not available in people's neck of the woods so to speak, if they sub it, the subbed versions will find their way to other sites that are available for other countries. At least, that is what we have seen so far.

@suchadiva42, me too. I hope PSJ confirms.

@SMP567, I thought you would like....

There is an interesting article in Wiki about the Hwarang.

Very pretty cast if everyone confirmed. I think they will push back shooting again since there is only one cast confirmed. No confirmed air date. No writer. No director. :sweatingbullets:

June might not be possible too. They wanted to shoot till May but China will need more than a month to review the drama before allowing it to broadcast.

@irilight Hello chingu. Thanks for your shoutout. Though I'm not much of a saguk genre fan, I'm beginning to love this genre, and this looks interesting. With @gerrytan8063 also watching it, even better! I know we are all in for pretty superb k-history and k-culture treats from him. :P 

@Seiran029 thanks for starting this thread :) Hello everyone *waves*and I see familiar 'faces'...hehe :P

Park Hyungsik Hopes to Film “Hwarang” Without Stunt Doubles

 

parkhyungsik1.jpg

Park Hyungsik recently underwent a pictorial shoot for the January-February 2016 issue of The Star magazine. The concept for this pictorial was “afternoon tea party for the new year.” Park Hyungsik looked sweet and fun in the pictorials.

In the interview following the pictorial shoot, he talked about his recent news, hobbies, and his acting philosophy.

He will soon be filming the new drama “Hwarang,” and he said, “I am really looking forward to it. This is my first time in a historical drama, and I have learned martial arts ( i read the original article, Hyungsik meant he has 4th dan in kendo)  and horseback riding before. So I hope to shoot as many scenes as possible without a stunt double.”

Of his recent hobbies, he said, “I’ve been learning scuba diving. I also enjoy shooter games.”
