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.

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.

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. Jang Nara’s character Oh Sunny is a bright and outgoing musical actress who finds herself living out a fairy tale when she marries into the imperial family. But when the dowager empress is murdered, the monarchy finds itself under threat and Oh Sunny fights against the autocratic powers that rule inside the palace while struggling to find true happiness and love.

Choi Jin-hyuk’s character, Na Wang-shik, is a super-fit bodyguard for the imperial family with unrivaled fighting skills. Though he’s an imperial guard, he harbors a desire for vengeance on the imperial family, which leads him to partner with Oh Sunny to exact revenge.

@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

Omy "superfit body... guard" ??

Ops this is a 'historical' drama? Uh oh i ... i ... cant... i cant erhm... follow all these historical plots 

 

This drama is set in modern monarchy (like Goong) with romance(hopefully) and thriller and revenge with Cinderella & street hoodlum & monarch king & villains.  Hopefully this drama has some juicy, sweet stuff for us. 

 

 

**JNR  is funny.  Gosh those eyes have own personality  so cute
JNR:  uhh ..  supposed to be an empress    penguin?   crow?

Good. The more the merrier. And the time is just right. Just after The Ghost Detective will end, you need another drama to watch.
