[ISSUE] "Park SiHoo, Afterall..." TODAY WEEKEND DRAMA LEAD ACTORS FIRST MEETING

Translation TBD...

I was going to go out on a limb and predict this (along with my in-depth analysis of why SHS should take this role even if he's a convicted felon, haha) but got busy with Secret Forest thread where SHS is kicking *** and is driving meechuttso and everyone crazy.

 

Drama spokesperson has stated, "Park SiHoo, Shin HyeSun, Lee TaeHwan and Seo EunSu, the lead cast members of KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'My Golden Life' met for the first time on the 4th."

... skip the first 3 leads nothing new

Seo EunSoo plays the role of Seo JiSoo, the fraternal (younger) twin sister to Shin HyeSun's Seo JiAn. Graduated from trade school, a drifter only doing part time work. Likes bread, pastries and starts work as a part timer. She won't stop eating ('put her spoon down') until her stomach is beyond full but doesn't get fat. A character with a birth secret.

Very talented.

[People] Shin HyeSun, 'Unbeatable Show' So HyunKyung's Chosen Cindrella
[Daily Sports] 2017-07-07 17:27

Another trustworthy collaboration is born.

Actress Shin HyeSun and writer So HyungKyung lead the KBS 2TV new weekend drama 'My Golden Life' as an 'Unbeatable' combination.

Shin HyeSun has appeared as Cinderella of TV screens 'lacking actress'**. And as demonstrated by the current work in which she is cast, she has an unmistakable eye for great roles. 'Oh My Ghostess,' 'She was pretty,' 'Legend of the Blue Sea,' 'Secret Forest'. Although a newcomer, she possesses an un-newcomer-like knack for choosing roles and works.

In 'My Golden Life', she takes on the role of Seo JiAn, a bright and energetic, charming character who, in the face of unexpected life obstacles, will show a maturing of character as she finds herself. Along with high school friend Lee TaeHwan (SunWoo Hyuk *** role) and her fraternal twin younger sister Seo EunSoo (Seo JiSoo role), they plan to shed light on various issues relevant to modern people.

This is her first drama as the main character. (Weekly) Filming and broadcast will proceed as planned, and she won't be in the shadows of veteran actors like Cho SeungWoo and Yoo JaeMyeong (in pre-production and currently broadcasting drama like 'Secret Forest'). Diverse characters of different strengths will work together to cause anticipation of 'unexpected' results.

So HyungKyung is in the company of very few writers classified as "(drama to watch from) a name you can trust". With titles like 'Shining Inheritance', 'Prosecutor Pricess', '49 Days', 'Two Weeks', 'My Daughter SeoYoung', 'Twenty Again', etc., she has been acknowledged as one with a pen strength who can distill the essence of common sensibilities from a broad public spectrum without respect to genres and target audiences. This time, she will take on the massaging of South Korea's struggling hard-at-work 20's and 30's generation's '4-fold'*** emotions.

'My Golden Life' is a story of a woman who dreams of ascending to the so-called 'Golden Spoon' upper class status, somehow discovering happiness in a crisis of descent to the pit.

Follows 'Father is Strange', first broadcast in September.

**  'No Actress' - I think meaning dearth of good actresses currently on TV?
*** 희노애락 = Joy Anger Sad Happiess

 

***NOTE Lee TaeHwan's role character has a rare 2-syllable last name, SunWoo, and a less uncommon 1-syllable first name Hyuk.  SunWoo Hyuk . Hyuk for short.

@meechuttso thanks for the updates. Happy for Shin Hye Sun. I remember before she was just  "the actress who got to kiss Kang Dong Won" in movie Violent Prosecutor. Then after weekend  Five Children drama (like a breakout role for her) we got to see more of her acting and her character we saw how she can be this innocent naive sweet lovely as Yontae.  drama after drama and her  gaining experience acting with sunbaes and terrific actors and actresses,

My Golden Spoon drama, a weekend drama  is  look forward to and see her act as lead this time. She's  terrific in current drama Secret Forest. 

PSH is the lead actor? Not LTW?

[jongski]

I forgot to add this to my previous post. but I'm happy for Seo Eun Su Yes. The two  actress from my two favorite dramas at the moment  (Secret Forest and Duel) together in one weekend drama. I like! Oh they're going to be twins..

[EXCLUSIVE] Actor Chun HoJin appears in 'My Golden Life'

A spokesperson said on the 10th ..., "Chun HoJin has confirmed appearance on KBS2 new weekend drama 'My Golden Life'".

...
Chun HoJin plays [Seo JiAn] father Seo TaeSoo in the drama.
He is a former Marine and a self-made man who has lived his whole life for his family.
An actor who brings his thick, masculine portrayals central to each of his roles, Chun HoJin is again charged with the perfect character sure to cause excitement and anticipation for KBS's flagship weekend drama....

For Chun HoJin this is his third time working with So HyungKyung, after "My Daughter SeoYoung" and "Too Weeks".

Shinye@mk.co.kr

 

This is another great news! Shin HyeSun and Chun HoJin - daughter  father!

Noticed here https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/황금빛_내_인생 and elsewhere that SHS name now goes before PSH. No doubt in response to recent public reaction to SHS in SF vs tepid response to PSH's return. Good PR move, I say, but it's the way it should be, "My" is the female lead's pronoun here. Check out SF thread for SHS's latest.

Some of our Secret Forest chingus are already here.... great!

September 2 sounds too far away, so to help us imagine SHS in her dramatic role, some shots from her Chevy Cruze CF last year. All pics lifted without permission but with gratitude from: https://twitter.com/shinhyesun_pics Her repost of what seem like previously unavailable older pics are so fresh still, no?

[Nymeria289]

@meechuttso I follow the twitter account and I was about to ask whether these are stills from her new drama. Have they started filming? I know the promotions will be low-key given the lead character. I hope the show turns out to be good for her sake. 

[gentlelily12]

Hi all.  Looking forward to PSH's new drama.  I am wondering if his movie "After Love" with Yoon Eun Hye has been given green light for release too.

 

 

[Ni Wen]

for the first time ever, im NOT shipping the female lead with the male lead and hope there is no romantic links though it is likely impossible. so, im hoping it would be a subtle one and that the female lead role would be one that focus more on the character itself. i already can foresee that the second lead pair of lee tae hwan and seo eun soo will stand out to be the more popular couple. in my selfish stand for my bias, how i wish hye sun can be paired up with lee tae hwan instead. seriously, if not for hyesun, i wouldnt even watch this drama at all. anyway, hoping for the very best for Hyesun's first lead drama. and hoping to get to see her image as Ji an soon!!

[cadymcbronzie]

Looks like they have begun shooting for the drama

Let's hope that they release the script reading pictures soon!

Wie HaJoon joins "My Golden Life" ... to work with Park SiHoo, Shin HyeSun

From http://sports.donga.com/3/all/20170726/85532910/1

... As the writer So HyunKyung and director Kim HyungSeok collaborate, they are attracting attention ....

Actor Wie HaJoon ... will play the bodyguard / chauffeur Ryu JaeShin role for (male lead role) Choi DoKyung's younger sister Choi SeoHyeon.
Ryu JaeShin may possess a brain that barely allowed him to graduate from high school, but even with a $5 t-shirt and a $10 pair of jeans on he is a looker who belongs on a runway [as a model]. Thanks to his clean cut image he lands a job as SeoHyeon's driver / bodyguard, and he is a character who does not reveal her glamorous double life to anyone but his thorough and tender care over her has captured her interest, also landing him in some trouble.

Offering hot visuals, he is quietly manly but always a 'taking care of business' solid dude, ordinarily displaying his sub-par brainy kind of unexpected charm to add fun to the drama which we can anticipate.

...

This thread in serious need of some love. Be patient, it's coming. SHE, or SHS, is coming! And this Wie guys sounds hot and fun already. Yea I'd give episode 1 a try just for him.

Somebody made a IG account named parksihoo_mygoldenlife_drama already? Cool.

[meechuttso]

All from IG Nikki777. Thank you!

I translated the same whole article http://sports.chosun.com/news/news.htm?id=201707250100220190016304&ServiceDate=20170724  and put it in SHS thread and linked it to the previous page, but this IGer made no less than 5 posts from that one article with snippets of text. So that's how creative one has to be if you want to be popular rich and famous in the dramasphere, eh?
