Actress Lee Young-ae cast in mystery period drama

SEOUL, Oct. 3 (Yonhap) -- South Korean actress Lee Young-ae is returning to the small screen with a mystery drama, a PR agency said Tuesday.

 

The script writing for the new series, with the title roughly translated as "Different Dream," has yet to be completed and the shooting will start next year, the Seoul-based agency The Tik Tok said.

 

Set in the Japanese colonial period of Korea (1910-1945), the series revolves around a surgical doctor named Lee Young-jin (played by Lee) who is adopted by a Japanese couple and later hired as a spy by the Provisional Government of Korea in Shanghai.

 

The actress last appeared in "Saimdang, Memoir of Colors." The 28-episode series was aired on SBS TV from Jan. 26 to May 4.

This drama sound so intriguing. I wish I know who the writer will be but I am going to watch. I like the genre and the actress in ther lead role.

 

Funny thing about this PD. After filming Saimdang, first he wanted to do a period drama from late Joseon and he wanted Song Seung Heon in the lead role and now, he has another drama in the works and he cast Lee Young Ae.

I'm curious about what channel will pick it up? Maybe SBS, since they dropped two blockbuster?

Lee Young-ae as graceful international spy in Different Dream

by tineybeanie

Well, that’s a quick turnaround—actress Lee Young-ae, who is most famous for her titular role in the Hallyu hallmark drama Dae Jang Geum, has already confirmed her comeback project. Given her 13-year hiatus before embarking on her most recent drama, Saimdang, Light’s Diary, I was expecting we’d be waiting at least a couple more years before seeing her onscreen, but it looks like we might be getting more frequent visits to dramaland from Lee Young-ae in the future.

Called Different Dream, the drama Lee Young-ae has been offered is a period melodrama (which I think she’s more suited for, because her present-day plot line in Saimdang was a bit of a snoozefest). Set during the Imperial Japanese colonization era, the drama switches between Gyeongseong (present-day Seoul) and Shanghai to tell a story of a double agent. Although nurtured by Japanese adoptive parents, the main character is surgeon who is originally of Korean heritage. The synopsis doesn’t give us a clear idea of her allegiance, but she becomes recruited to be an intelligence operative, and is sent to spy at the Shanghai Provisional Government where she becomes involved in the center of the brewing Pacific War.

@larus @Go Seung Ji Is this a true story? She will be a spy for the government? I like! Sound something I want to watch. I'm also intrigue. I want to see good cast. And hopefully network that airs full hour drama.

I don`t think it is based on a true story. I like that is is a period drama depicting the early 20th century and I did not see many dramas from that times. I also like the genre and I am so glad that we have a heroine as a double agent. I am very happy because is a female centric drama. Lee Young Ae is a very good choice. I really don`t care who will be her leading man/ men (I know they will make a good cast too) but I am wondering if Lee Seo Jin will be the one. Lee Pil Mo is a good choice too. What is doing Song Il-Kook these days?  Maybe they will bring a movie actor. So many posibilities. I am curious about the writer. I am hoping for a good script.

 

I am eager to hear more news about this drama.

[plainenglish]

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different_Dream, "Different Dreams" will be written by Jo Gyu-won, who wrote the blockbuster dramas "Iris" and "Iris II."

 

I haven't seen Iris" and "Iris II," but from what I've read from Wikipedia, both are espionage dramas and consist of only 20 episodes. Could this mean that "Different Dreams" will also have 20 episodes?

 

Also, Wikipedia says about "Iris":

 

"The series was a critical and commercial success, with an average viewership of over 30% in addition to ranking as the top program consistently every week after its debut."

 

With a good writer like Jo Gyu-won, I'm sure LYA's new show will have great drama and slambang action scenes. LYA doing action scenes? That will be something to look forward to!

I don`t know. I did not read about an airing date, no other information either.

[jongski]

Thanks for this update. I was waiting. And I'm happy it's Yoo Ji Tae.  He was smoldering during that Good Wife Drama. I like!

Lee Yo Won In Talks To Take Over For Lee Young Ae In Upcoming Espionage Drama

There are some changes being made to an upcoming drama.

It had previously been reported that Lee Young Ae would be appearing in the drama “Lee Mong” (tentative title), an epic drama with approximately 25 billion won (approximately $22.15 million) invested in production fees.

However, Lee Young Ae announced on August 14 that she has decided to withdraw from the project. Her agency stated, “After much deliberation, a final decision has been made to not appear in the drama due to many factors, including Lee Young Ae’s schedule.”

With Lee Young Ae stepping down from the project, it has been revealed that Lee Yo Won is currently in talks to replace her. Her agency was contacted and they responded by stating, “It is true that Lee Yo Won is in discussions to take on the leading role of the drama. She is currently in the process of ironing out the details."

 

“Lee Mong” will be an espionage melodrama that takes place in Gyeongseong (present-day Seoul), Manchuria, and Singapore during Japanese colonial rule. If Lee Yo Won agrees to the role, she will be playing Lee Young Jin, a beautiful, bright, and confident surgeon who dreams of saving the lives of many. Yoo Ji Tae is in talks to appear as the leading male role of Kim Won Bong, the leader of a group of spies fighting for independence.

The drama is scheduled to begin airing in spring 2019 on MBC.

Lee Yo-won, Yoo Ji-tae become freedom fighters for Different Dream


It looks like there’s been a casting switcheroo for historical drama Different Dream. Originally last year, Lee Young-ae (Dae Jang Geum) was considering the project, but it looks like she’s no longer a part of the project. Instead, Lee Yo-won (Buam-dong Revenge Social Club) will be leading the cast as the spy-doctor heroine. She’ll be joined by the one and only Yoo Ji-tae (Mad Dog), who will be playing the famous independence fighter Kim Won-bong.
