With the postponement of the series, "Can't I Love?" starring Yeo Jin Goo, interest is growing in the drama that is now slated to replace it, "I Hear Your Voice."

"Can't I Love?" has been shelved and possibly cancelled due to scheduling issues.

So far, nothing has been confirmed about the casting of "I Hear Your Voice," but Kim Jae Won and Lee Bo Young are currently considering the main roles.

"I Hear Your Voice" is a drama about a lawyer who is appointed by the state to represent a client with less than a one percent chance of being declared innocent. And, although nothing has been confirmed yet, it is rumored that Kim Jae Won will play the accused criminal and Lee Bo Young will be the lawyer who has to represent him.

Will she be enthusiastic about making sure the criminal has his fair day in court or will she consider the case a waste of her time? It's not a case she would have chosen for herself, but it will probably be one that's not as simple as she first imagines.

Kim Jae Won is known for playing Cha Dong Joo, a man who becomes deaf in "Can You Hear My Heart?" He received praise from the deaf community for his portrayal of a deaf man. He also played the heir Kang San/Ryan Kang in the 2010 weekend drama, "May Queen." That year he won the Star of the Year award at the Cable Television Awards.

Lee Bo Young recently finished playing Lee Seo Young in the weekend drama, "My Daughter, Seo Young."

"My daughter, Seo Young," was the highest rated drama last year, earning a 40 percent approval rating. She also played Han Ji Won in "Man from the Equator," a role for which she won a KBS Drama Excellence Award.

Lee starred with Park Yong Woo in the 2008 film "Once Upon A Time." It was her first big film role and earned her a nomination for Best New Actress Baeksang Awards. She is scheduled to appear in a film with Hyun Bin, titled, "I Am Happy."

Park Hye Run is writing the drama, which is quite different from Park's previous scripts for such shows as "Dream High," "Kimchi Cheese Smile" and "Nonstop 5."

Because of these previous scripts many netizens wondered if the story will be a courtroom comedy.

The company behind the drama hit, "Queen of Housewives" is producing "I Hear Your Voice." The drama is scheduled to replace the Wednesday-Thursday drama, "All About My Romance" in June.
