"Love Story" female lead is unveiled!

Allkpop reported on its website that Coffee Prince's female lead, Yoon Eun Hye, will costar with Park Yong Ha in the remake of the Chinese movie "Comrades: Almost a Love Story". Read more here. My thanks to Angelofthewaters for the holler--literally.

I was puttering around the web while waiting for an important email when I stumbled upon this piece of news. Warner Brothers studio is interested in acquiring the rights of Park Yong Ha's new series! That's interesting, considering they haven't even cast his female lead yet. But it makes some sense because the original article mentioned that the studio owns the rights to the original Chinese movie.

Still, this would mean a huge break for anyone in the lead cast because they have a foot in the door and into the Hollywood scene. And better yet, really go global! Hoping this deal goes through. XD

New kdrama from PYH???

According to the Dramabeans' website, Park Yong ha will be joining a drama remake of a popular Chinese film, to be titled Comrades: Almost a Love Story. Main source of this news here (in Korean). Oh Soo-yeon of Winter Sonata and Autumn Love Story will pen the series, while Ji Young-soo of Oh! Pil Seung Bong Soon Young directs. Check out her site for more info.

I kind of share some of the commentors' misgivings about the series being turned into a melodrama, what with the former WS writer being involved. And like javabeans, I'm willing to give it a shot. After all, I did dredge through On Air just so I could watch PYH, so this shouldn't be any different.

The website also says filming starts in July. If that's the case, how about his concert series? I saw in Etsuko's blog somewhere that PYH has a bunch of concerts in Japan this June. Does the guy ever know how to take a break?
