Fans were disappointed when CNBlue's Jung Yong Hwa turned down the chance to star in the drama "The Heirs" with Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho. The singer-actor withdrew from the drama saying he was going to focus on his music. Choi Jun Hyuk, who played a mountain spirit in "Gu Family Book," replaced him in the role of Lee Min Ho's older brother.
Shortly after that Jung Yong Hwa was said to be considering a role as a production director in another drama, which turned out to be the time travel story, "Future Choice." Yesterday Yoon Eun Hye's agency confirmed that she was also considering a role in the same drama. Will she be Jung Yong Hwa's leading lady?
Yoon Eun Hye, who starred in "Missing You," "Coffee Prince," Princess Hours" and "Lie to Me," is deciding on the role of the drama's heroine Mi Rae, a struggling writer at a broadcast station. There she will meet the production director played by Jung Yong Hwa, who appeared in "Heartstrings" and played everyone's favorite boyfriend Shin Woo in "You're Beautiful." He has not had a drama role in two years.
In "Future Choice," Mi Rae finds a way to travel to the past where she will try to convince herself not to make any of the mistakes that have negatively shaped her life. One of the mistakes she wants to avoid is having anything to do with one particular man. But as in any time travel drama, she runs the risk of making her life worse when she returns to the present.
Actor Lee Dong Gun is also considering a role in this drama, his first since leaving military service over a year ago. The star of a dozen dramas, Lee Dong Gun is best known for his work in "Lovers in Paris," "When Night Comes" and "Smile Again." There's no word on which actor will play the romantic lead but Yoon Eun Hye has never had an unconvincing screen romance with any of her leading men. So far, they have included Gong Yoo, Ju Ji Hoon, Park Yoo Chun, Kang Ji Hwan, Yoon Sang Hyun and Lee Min Ho.
Hong Jin A, writer of "Beethoven Virus" and "King 2 Hearts" and the older sister of the Hong sisters writing team, will write the drama. The drama will follow "Good Doctor."
