jongski Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 @larus Finally a thread. I had to go to the actors thread (YSJ thread to be exact) just to asked if there is a "My Country" thread. Thanks larus. I've been looking for the thread for like 3 days now. I'll be waiting for this. I want to see YSJ. I like him in more serious role.. I mean something like OCN Duel ( his breakout role and he was impressive there but the follow up drama ..meh) but this historical drama will do.I'm not so much for the second lead but he's okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably they will have some ladies caring for them but, reading the synopsis, I was thinking there will be strong feelings between them and I am already saying .... please, make up you two. Two friends aiming their swords against one another due to differences in opinion and over a misunderstanding? Tragic. At least, I wish they won`t fall in love with the same girl but knowing kdramaland, It is possible. My happy ending will be... the two men reconcile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the leading lady and other casts. Not his first. He played the younger version of the male lead Song Seung Heon in Saimdang. I didn’t really watch that show but I remember he acted in it, both the period and modern role. Btw, Woo Do Hwan is joining him in this show too, dual leads I heard. http://www.dramabeans.com/2018/12/woo-do-hwan-to-join-yang-se-jong-in-jtbcs-sageuk-my-country/ I was going to say, “with these two guys, that’s it, I’m going to watch this show.” But when I noticed the female leads have not been confirmed, I decided to hold my words, because the casting for female leads can make it or break it for me. I hope to hear good news soon!

I do not know her at all but I read her filmography and see that she has three dramas and three movies. When they cast two young actors, I was sure they will cast a young actress as well. I read an article at Koala`s Playground site, people were not pleased with this casting. The boys will have a bigger part in this drama but I hope she will be good too. We`ll see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper, the heroine is a strong woman. I think Seolhyun will confirm and I hope she will carry the part well. Because I did not watch her in anything, I can not say if she will do well or not. I will keep my expectation low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larus Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Jang Hyuk will appear that will be great. Lee Bang Won is a powerful character, inteligent, ruthless. It looks like he will be the prince in this drama because the events took place in the end of Goryeo. Jang Hyuk is one of the main leads in this drama or he will do a guest star role? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
