larus 100,654 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lee Elijah becomes villainess for An Empress’s Dignity by tineybeanie Actress Lee Elijah (Miss Hammurabi) has confirmed her next project to be An Empress’s Dignity, a modern-day love story set in an alternate reality where Korea is ruled by a constitutional monarchy. Jang Nara has been cast to play the lead, a musical actress turned empress, while Lee Elijah’s agency announced that she will play the role of the antagonist Min Yoo-ra for this upcoming SBS drama. An Empress’s Dignity centers around a cheerful, bright musical actress who suddenly experiences her own overnight Cinderella story when she marries the emperor. As she enters the palace, she must fight absolute power to uncover the truth of the dowager empress’s murder and take down the corruption from within. Along the way, she learns to find love and happiness. Hmm… this sounds like a cross between Goong and Forest of Secrets, and that would be amazing. Lee Elijah’s character, Min Yoo-ra, is the head secretary who is perfect and decisive at her work. She holds the sacred trust of the emperor, who will be played by Shin Sung-rok (Return, Man Who Dies to Live). She forms a confrontational front with his mother, and enhances the emotional tension of the drama. It seems like a good fit because Lee Elijah has always been good at playing the second lead you love to hate (example: Fight My Way). Also in the cast are Choi Jin-hyuk (Tunnel), who will play a palace bodyguard, and Shin Eun-kyung (Village: Secret of Achiara) as the dowager empress, who ought to be amazing in that role. more http://www.dramabeans.com/2018/10/lee-elijah-becomes-villainess-for-an-empresss-dignity/ Link to post Share on other sites
larus 100,654 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 NS Yoon-G Announces Name Change + Cast In New Thriller Drama by yshin NS Yoon-G is continuing with her career under a different name! After confirming her appearance in SBS’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama “An Empress’s Dignity” (working title), NS Yoon-G, now Kim Yoon Ji, has began shooting for the drama. In the drama, Kim Yoon Ji will play Hyun Joo, the successful junior of musical actress Oh Sunny (played by Jang Nara). While she initially ignores Oh Sunny, who is a relatively unknown actress, she begins to harbor feelings of jealousy when Oh Sunny becomes the nation’s Cinderella. Kim Yoon Ji’s character will be in conflict with the female lead in the first half of the drama and add onto the intensity of the plot. “An Empress’s Dignity” will take place in 2018, but with the pretense that it’s an era of constitutional monarchy. It is the story of a musical actress who gets married to an emperor. After fighting against the absolute power of the palace, she’ll destroy the imperial family in her search for true love and happiness. more https://www.soompi.com/article/1240501wpp/ns-yoon-g-announces-name-change-cast-new-thriller-drama Link to post Share on other sites

larus 100,654 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Choi Jin-hyuk to costar opposite Jang Nara in An Empress’s Dignity by stroopwafel After weeks of rumors, it’s officially confirmed: Choi Jin-hyuk (Devilish Joy, Tunnel) will be taking on the lead role in An Empress’s Dignity opposite Jang Nara (Go Back Spouses, One More Happy Ending). An Empress’s Dignity is set in an alternate reality where South Korea has a constitutional monarchy.

Choi Jin-hyuk’s character, Na Wang-shik, is a super-fit bodyguard for the imperial family with unrivaled fighting skills.

booha 23,428 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 @triplem Yes they started shooting already but I read in Jang Na Ra-DC that the staff asked not to post shooting pictures. It may be because DJ is still on air? Still we got a few pictures. Now CJH announced officially for E’s D so hopefully we will see some more pictures. It’s interesting to read the headline saying E’s D as a thriller drama. I thought it was romance. Nope I don’t think CJH cut his hair. Maybe he just combed his hair back from JNR schedule: script reading 9/6 & first shooting 9/17 & PC undecided Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites
