[mslee's thoughts] Kim Hyun Joong Back in the Small Screen After 3 Years via KBS2! updating...

Can I just say that this is the best news I read upon opening my twitter and facebook account this morning? Wow, I'm so happy and thrilled for Kim Hyun Joong for this new project that will air on KBS2. After my disappointment to what happened in City Conquest, this is truly a blessing for Hyun Joong. As a fan, I embrace all things KHJ and reading this news, I feel that maybe this is the right time for his comeback. And reading about what's the story is going to be about, the era, I know this is his drama for this year. I have a feeling that the character will definitely suit him.

I have yet to read accounts about the plot but as it was tweeted earlier by another KHJ fan, Age of Feelings, which is going to be the title is based on a manhwa.




I googled the exact meaning of the term and this is what it says.

via Wikipedia

Manhwa (Korean pronunciation: [manĪ²a~manwa]) is the general Korean term for comics and print cartoons (common usage also includes animated cartoons). Outside of Korea, the term usually refers specifically to South Korean comics.[1] South Korea is now one of the major producers of comics.
The first woodcut manhwa, published in 1908.
Manhwa has been influenced by the dramatic modern history of Korea, resulting in a diversity of forms and genres,[citation needed] including a mainstream style same as manga. Distinctive manhwa can be found in editorial comic strips, artistically-oriented works, and webcomics serials.


I also scouted for more news about the story and chanced on this one.


excerpt...

Age of Feeling is set in 1930s Shanghai, and based on a manhwa by the same artist-creator who wrote the Damo manhwa, Park Hak-gi. The description is rather vague—we center around lives of young people and their “love and friendship, patriotism and ambition”—so we’ll have to wait for plot particulars, but it is an unusual setting for a Korean drama. The characters will span multiple nationalities—Korean, Chinese, Japanese.
The drama’s time frame is during the Japanese occupation.

-end-


I think that a period drama will be HJ's most challenging project. If this will be written and executed beautifully, this drama will make him a true actor. And I do believe he will give justice to his role and to the story. 

I will not be bias here just because I am a fan, but I think there is a right time and a right project for every actor and if this turned out to be the one for HJ, this is going to be daebak! 


November will be another great month for me, because not only it is my birthday, it is the aring month of Age of Feeling.

I also decided to share the news regarding KHJ's comeback.

UPDATING...

 a follow up news from allkpop


Kim Hyun Joong to possibly return to the small screen through 'Inspiring Generation'


Singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong may be returning to the small screen after all for it's been reported that he's currently reviewing an offer to star in upcoming drama, 'Inspiring Generation'.

The singer-turned-actor was already supposed to have made a drama comeback through 'City Conquest', but many of you know, the production fell through and the drama never ended up being picked up for airing. So this news should definitely come as of interest for those anticipating his return as an actor!

It was said actor Lee Jun Ki was also reviewing an offer for the drama, so it's not clear if he opted out and Kim Hyun Joong was offered the role instead, or if the two are just cast for different characters. 

'Inspiring Generation' is an action-packed drama which takes places in Shanghai, China during the 1930s and the stories that unfold for the youth of that time.

His agency has stressed that nothing has been confirmed as of yet and they're still in the reviewing stage, so keep your fingers crossed!

-end-

after reading this...surely, it is possible, because if not, Lee Jun Ki's name would have been the buzz of news articles.

anyway..will update but hoping HJ will be playing this role as the lead cast.

waiting....
