DRAMA CASTING & NEWS
SBS delays Advance, schedules Scarlet Heart: Goryeo for August
by girlfriday | May 5, 2016 | 14 Comments


There’s been a lot of flip-flopping over at SBS lately, with their Wednesday-Thursday drama Deal being replaced with the new thriller Wanted. Now the same thing is happening with their Monday-Tuesday shows: The new drama from writer Park Kyung-soo (Punch, Empire of Gold, Chaser) about cops called Advance was being planned for the post-Doctors slot in August, but it’s been put on hold while fantasy romance Scarlet Heart: Goryeo has secured that timeslot.


It actually seems the smarter thing to do, given that Scarlet Heart: Goryeo is already shooting and will be 100% pre-produced for its run, while Advance has yet to cast. I also remember writer Park Kyung-soo collapsing during Chaser and having to go to the hospital, so I don’t think the live-shoot is his friend. Is it anybody’s friend?

Scarlet Heart: Goryeo is the remake of Chinese drama Bu Bu Jing Xin that stars IU (The Producers) as a woman who gets time-warped back to the Goryeo dynasty, and becomes involved with a very large family of princes, some of whom are vying for the throne, or her affections, or both.

The princes include Lee Jun-ki (Scholar Who Walks the Night), Kang Haneul (Misaeng), Hong Jong-hyun (Mama), EXO’s Baekhyun, Nam Joo-hyuk (Cheese in the Trap), Ji-soo (Sassy Go Go), Kim San-ho (Rude Miss Young-ae), and Yoon Sun-woo (Devoted Min Deul-le). Man, that king had a lot of sons.

It does seem to be the summer of youth sageuk, between Scarlet Heart, Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, and also Hwarang, which hasn’t secured a premiere date yet. Is it asking for too much that they all be good? Up to my eyeballs in epic tales of fantasy and romance is a problem I’d like to have.

Scarlet Heart: Goryeo will follow Doctors on Mondays and Tuesdays, beginning August 29.

[OSEN=Lee Hye Rin] It was expected that it would be unique, but it was more than expected.

IU’s version of Seo Taiji’s new song ‘Seogyeokdong’ which was released on 2nd, 12 am was not an easy song to understand at once. Even though it was the first time for him to release a pre-release song and notice his comeback with a song which a junior singer sang alone, the song itself was unique than anything else.

The most ear-catching thing is the slow unique music with the electronic source at the main. It is yet an uncommon combination in domestic music charts. Although electronic music has...
