jTBC’s Historical Drama “My Country” Rounds Up Stellar Cast By Emylyn Castalla | 

THE UPCOMING SAGEUK BOASTS OF A DREAM TEAM ENSEMBLE AS IT GATHERS SOME OF THE WELL-KNOWN NAMES IN THE INDUSTRY.

 

Yang Se Jong, Woo Do Hwan, Jang Hyuk, Kim Seol Hyun and Kim Young Chul are all confirmed to star in My Country.

 The drama, set in waning days of the Goryeo period to the early Joseon dynasty, centers on the desire for power and patronage. In the middle of this power struggle, two friends will go against each other because of their conflicting beliefs.

My Country Cast

Yang Se Jong plays Seo Hwi, a general’s son. His father is a fierce warrior who is in charge of conquering the north under the King’s name. As such, Seo Hwi is resolute when it comes to injustice. However, he retains a cheerful attitude in a life full of strife.

 

Meanwhile, Woo Do Hwan portrays the character of Nam Sun Ho, Seo Hwi’s longtime friend. He is a smart and well-skilled individual with a good appearance and comfortable smile. There is an issue surrounding his birth as he was born to a mother who is from a low class and an aristocrat father. He dreams of joining the military to overcome the pain of being an illegitimate child.

Jang Hyuk takes on the role of Lee Bang Won, the nation’s prince who helped his father, the King, to topple the Goryeo dynasty and establishes a monarchy in the transitioning period. Although people expect him to inherit the throne, his father favors his half-brother over him. As a result, he will begin a lonely fight to claim his birthright.

 

AOA’s Kim Seol Hyun will be returning to a television drama after four years. She plays Han Hee Jae, an intelligent and forward-thinking woman. Hee Jae is discouraged and embittered with the dishonesty and unscrupulousness of those in powers. She will have a fateful meeting with Seo Hwi and Nam Sun Ho.

 

Lastly, veteran Kim Young Chul, who has portrayed memorable characters in his long career, adds credibility to the cast. He plays Lee Seong Gye, a gentle and level-headed character who has combat training.

 The combination of these actors makes My Country one of the dramas to watch out for. PD Kim Jin Won (Just Between Lovers, The Innocent Man) takes on directing duties and screenwriter Chae Seung Dae pens the script.

 

My Country will air on jTBC in the second half of this year.

Why get such a solid set of actors and then hire an idol actress as the female lead - it's like they're asking for her to get criticised when she inevitably ends up sticking out in the show

Wow What are cool actors !!! And the plot is good ...
In addition, it will be interesting to compare Lee Bang Won performed by Jang Hyuk and Yoo Ah In. Who better to play the great king ??? We will soon find out ...

[jongski]

Yang Se Jong + Woo Do Whan= maybe bromance?  they play best friends.. will probably be enemies later on?

 

First time they'll be in historical drama genre. I am excited to see them. They both good actors.

 

I'm going to watch of course esp for Jang Hyuk!

I don't know how to end up returning into this thread again. There were some posts I posted almost a year ago too. Woahhh... what happened to this drama? Will they air it or not?

 

I agreed. The synopsis would likely go that way, hoping the same thing. Hope they'll air this soon and happy ending for both men. I need to see YSJ again on my screen. He's being absent pretty long now.

 

This is a pre-produced drama, they are filming it now and will air it from 27 September.

I want this Drama to be success please be a hit and don't make Dohwan's character useless or annoying like JIW's character in MoonSun pleeeeeeeease. I'm rooting for the three male leads all of them are my favs. I hope this drama revive their careers. They all need it tbh especially WDH. The two are going to the army next year they need some success to survive. As for the drama i really love well written friends turned enemies shows. I hope they give them a good reason to fight over other than the stupid love triangle and don't focus on the romance please. The supporting actors/actresses are awesome too. Don't waste this cast pleeeease writer i'm talking to you. Whoever counts how many pleases in my comment is getting a prize . I'm so hyped for this drama. please be a good drama.

Oh and I wonder how this two became friends in the first place like son ho is supposed to be a noble son who live in the city while Sehwi is general son who's in the charge of conquering the North that's means he most likely lives in those military camps i saw in Six Flying Dragons.

According to a recent fan meeting of Jang Hyuk, this drama will premiere in October 2019.

The male casting is amazing. Too bad about the female lead. She’s not as bad as some, but I can’t say that I’m happy about her casting in this drama against the male talent. She’s very pretty, but she’s also a pretty weak link who doesn’t seem to be getting better. After his last drama which shall go unnamed (*cringe*), I really wanted WDH to have a fantastic role in a fantastic drama.I wonder if this will be it, though the female lead makes me question the production team of this drama and whether they are going to dumb it down.

Same thoughts. I'm watching for Jang Hyuk.. and Yang Se Jong, though I still believe Duel was and still his best drama that show cased his acting. I'm not really that familiar with Woo Do Whan and I don't know the lead female.

When the casting of the two male leads came first i thought it was an ambitious historical drama where the PD was willing to give the two relatively new actors with so much potential a chance to shine in a well made sageuk under his guidance but when the female lead was announced it made me think it might be another love triangle based drama for international consume and fangirls fighting over ships type of drama. I really like Seolhyun as a beauty but she was acting since 2012 and didn't seem to improve that much. She received a flak for her performance in The great battle. However Jang Hyuk casting gave me a little hope. I will still watch the drama no matter how horrible it might be. I get three of my favs in one drama once in a lifetime.
