DRAMA CASTING & NEWS
Im Joo-hwan to play main rival in Bride of the Water God

 

Im Joo-hwan (Uncontrollably Fond) is now in contention to join tvN’s fantasy-romance drama Bride of the Water God 2017, which would have him joining Nam Joo-hyuk (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo), Shin Se-kyung (Six Flying Dragons), Gong Myung (Drinking Solo), and Krystal (She’s So Lovable) in the main cast.

 

The drama takes aspects of the manhwa story, which was a fusion historical featuring a water god who is offered a bride sacrifice in times of drought, but modernizes the setting and adapts them to modern-day Korea. Nam Joo-hyuk will play the water god Ha-baek, with Shin Se-kyung as his bride; Krystal’s character is a goddess who has lived among people for centuries, and has a one-sided crush on Ha-baek. Gong Myung is described as helping Ha-baek while also harboring a one-sided love on Krystal. Let’s just say there’s a merry-go-round of sad crushes afoot in this drama.

 

Im Joo-hwan, meanwhile, is set to play Ha-baek’s primary rival, who in the original storyline was another water god who gets Ha-baek jealous when he gets close to his bride. In this version, he’ll be the CEO of a resort (which Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim’s Yang Se-jong was previously in the running for) who gets off on the wrong foot with the heroine: He runs into her when she goes to the bank seeking a loan and inadvertently causes her embarrassment. He then attempts to take on a project to develop a particular spot of land, but it stalls when Shin Se-kyung refuses to sell.

 

I guess Im Joo-hwan has been relegated to second leads and rivals now, which is a darned shame because he’s a talented, nuanced actor and seemed poised for a strong career following Tamra the Island. But his follow-ups didn’t really take off and and his post-army roles have been mostly supporting (Shine or Go Crazy, Oh My Ghostess, Uncontrollably Fond). Well, at least I know he’ll deliver, even with limited screentime.

 

Bride of the Water God 2017 has now finished casting its main lineup and plans to hold its script reading and first shoots later this month.

I'm conflicted about Joo Hwan joining the cast. On one hand I've loved everything he has done so far and really would love to have him back on screen again. On the other hand, I would hate for him to be getting typecast as a second lead figure for kdramas. He deserves more warstarplz.png

 

If he joins they better give him a more interesting role that a typical second lead ohpressor.png

 

Somehow a lot ppl think that Im Joo Hwan should take a lead for this drama than Nam Joo hyuk.imstupid.png

Well considering he has more experience than Joo Hyuk, I would say it would be good if he got the lead role.

 

But I love Joo Hyuk too, and now that he has been cast I want to see him in this role. So at this point if they recast him it would feel odd to me.

 

I just really would like Joo Hwan to get a lead role in a drama, on first choice, where he gets to have a more substantial role.

 

im still dont read the manhwa yet but

 

 

 

If LJH accept as the 2nd lead, is his character perhaps will have a bad fate like Mura?imstupid.png

So I just read the ending of the manhwa.

 

 

and I sincerely hope they don't use it. Yeah it was beautiful and all, but I'm done with lead characters dying and reincarnation and crap. I've suffered through Scarlet Heart and Goblin for this nonsense.

 

So if it happens here as well, I'm going to go on a fantasy based k-drama sabbatical. warstarplz.png

 

LOL those 2 dramas that you just mentioned i dropped at half eps, idk why i just cant finished it LOOLharharplz.png
