czakhareina Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 hey guys just came from a kdrama blogger who wrote that writer Kim Eun Sook (who is writing a new drama titled Descendants of the Sun) meet with wuri Kang dong won. They had lunch in SBS studio. Has anyone read or heard any ramblings of him coming back to dramaland?I know in his recent interviews, he stated of preferring movies over dramas but I for one would love him in dramas. The drama (descendants of the sun) plot is so out there and not yet solid. The writer itself is not my fave but she is know to write Ratings magnet dramas(Secret Garden, lover in paris, lovers in Prague and the most recent Heirs). Basing on KDW's choices in projects, he has always been on picking awesome and solid writing and production> So I am a little curious as to what this could mean. I personally hope he doesn't sign on. KES dramas (in my opinion) are not all solid or well written. If he signs on a drama and make a drama comeback, I wish it would be from writer Lee Kyung Hee (Sangdoo Lets go to school, Innocent Man, Thank you) or Lee Woo Jung, Park Ji Eun, or Song JIna or Kim young hyun.Even if he doesn't take this, if it is true that he did meet with the writer, could it mean that KDW's drama comeback is getting near?anyway this is where i read it, from the comments part | reply of the writer to a reader named Aluahttp://koalasplayground.com/2014/07/31/sbs-confirms-june-2015-premiere-for-new-kim-eun-sook-overseas-pre-produced-drama-descendants-of-the-sun/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaeinmae Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 @czakhareina, i quite agree with you, i hope KDW wasn't enticed to do this drama.....him having lunch with KES maybe just for him to listen and study the proposed project. Like Miss Alua, i hope KES will never get KDW...... by the way, for those who hasn't seen Kundo, please watch !!! you will never regret it!!!! Even my husband enjoyed the movie...hahaha ....he was amazed by KDW....he wants to know how a tall man like KDW is so graceful and very agile, moving and wielding his sword while wearing hanbok......please watch, watch, watch......
