Only one news outlet is reporting this, but Jang Geun-seok has reportedly been finalized as the lead in the Korean movie version of You’re My Pet, a remake of Japanese drama Kimi wa petto. The movie had gone through an earlier casting round and selected Kim Hyun-joong as the cute “pet” to a fashion-editor careerwoman, a role that was once rumored to be Su Ae’s.

According to Star News, Jang has decided on the role and is currently finalizing the details. An A-list actress (yet-unnamed) is the top contender for the female lead, and once the rest of the casting is made official, the movie will begin filming.

This ought to be interesting — back when Kim Hyun-joong was supposedly headlining, I had been turned off because his acting is SO inadequate that it even got in the way of my finding him physically attractive; in Boys Before Flowers, my annoyance with the acting spilled over into annoyance with the character. But Jang Geun-seok is not only pretty, he’s got comic chops as well as dramatic ones. Plus, there’s the fun trivia tidbit of Jang taking over this role from Kim considering that he had initially wanted to play the Ji-hoo role in Boys Before Flowers (which, of course, eventually went to Kim).

(The source article says Jang’s casting is a done deal, but until I see other outlets reporting this news, I’m not fully convinced this is final. For what it’s worth.)

comment: Finally, Sukkie mengumumkan Project barunya ^^ senenggg banget rasanya. Sepertinya dia lagi doyan drama romance komedi nih hehehhe... katanya seh, pengen memperlihatkan sisi cute nya, ciehhh....

Singkatnya bercerita tentang noona cantik, sempurna yang putus sama kekasihnya. Bukan karena dia nga pantas buat pria itu, justru pria itu yang levelnya dibawah standard sang noona. Tuh cewe nemuin kardus yang isinya cowok brambut kriwil sedang terluka. Gayanya persis kayak hewan peliharaan. Trus, tuh cowo di rawat sama si Noona, sampai akhirnya si cowo nga mau balik ke tempat asal krn suatu alasan. hehehhe Si Noona kasih syarat klo mau tinggal ditempatnya, si cowo mesti jadi Momo, hewan peliharaan si noona yang udah mati. kayaknya ceritanya menarik ya, hohoho komiknya sendiri totalnya ada 14 volume ^^, dan doramanya sendiri total ada 10 episode (wikipedia). Dan baik Manga maupun Jdramanya, si Cowo itu berambut kriwil. dan ternyata aku baru tau alasan dibalik rambut kriwilnya itu demi sebuah proyek ini.., kkekekek, persis sama rambut ku yang kriwil, (jadi inget rambut sendiri, GUBRAKS).. ...

nah, rencananya project ini bakalan di buat movie, bukan drama, dan menurutku ini ide brilian ^^.

Ngga sabar liat SUkkie jadi hewan peliharaan hihihi.... oh iya, bagi yang penasaran sama komiknya, ini aku ada link
