The photo from SBS up-coming drama “Jang Ok Jung Live for Love” (장옥정) was revealed. The main leads, Kim Tae Hee and Yoo Ah In, were both wearing black outfit on that event that held on February 12.

Kim Tae Hee and Yoo Ah In will perform as couple for this drama. Yoo Ah In will portray King Sukjong, and Kim Tae Hee as his ambitious mistress, Jang Hee Bin. In this first meeting, they both already built good chemistry, they look natural.

Actually I really wonder about their love line in this drama,since the official said that they will make the story light, because based on history their love story ended tragically.

“Jang OK Jung, Live for Love” will replace “Yawang” on April.

Finally, Yoo Ah In agrees to come back on sageuk drama after three years. He already confirmed to join on SBS’s up-coming drama “Jang Ok Jung” (장옥정, 사랑에 살다). On January 22nd, the drama’s representative announced that the actor will portray the charismatic and romantic king.

“Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love” is different point of view of the most ambitious woman on Joseon dynasty, Jang Hee Bin (Kim Tae Hee). The story will focus on her dream and passion as designer. The drama will follow up “Queen of Ambition” on March.

Our fashion king, Yoo Ah In, is ready for comeback to the small screen, and he’s potential to become the real King on his next project. His agency confirmed that the actor is still reviewing the offer from Kim Tae Hee’s up-coming sageuk drama “Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love” (장옥정, 사랑에 살다).

“Jang Ok Jung” is modern re-interpretation of Queen Jang Hee Bin, she was one of the most powerful and ambitious women on Korean history. In other dramas or movies, Jang Hee Bin was presented as the great villain, especially for Queen In Hyun. But for this drama, Jang Hee Bin will be shown lighter, because this drama will tell about her other side, her dream and spirit as the Joseon fashion designer.

If Yoo Ah In agrees to engage on this drama, he will portray Jang Hee Bin’s spouse, King Sukjong. Actually, on the real life, this couple ended tragically. I hope even inspired by the real history, maybe this drama will bring something different here. Absolutely, we don’t want to see the main couple killing each other right???

“Jang Ok Jung” planned to start airing on March through SBS to follows “Queen of Ambition” (Yawang). Meanwhile, these days, Yoo Ah In, is still caught under his movie project “Tin Can” (깡철이) on Busan.

As Jack&Jill ambassador, recently Yoo Ah In appears on special edition pictorial, 10+, for Jack&Jill 10 anniversary. Yoo Ah In looks fashionable here even just wearing the simple t-shirt. And i think i have a crush on him when i looked at his eyes…with that deep gaze..oh.. he’s so sexy… and my favorite is when he posed with the hoody (the photo below). He’s consistent with his rebellious image.

This pictorial will be released on Vogue magazine for March issue alongside with interview about his career and works. He becomes the king of fashion on his new drama “Fashion King” on SBS. Since his takes the role as a fashion designer, of course he will appear more fashionable.

Reaching spring Korean drama will be like the war between great names of young handsome hallyu stars: Lee Seung Gi, Jang Geun Seok, Yoo Ah In and Lee Je Hoon.

Lee Seung Gi will be pairing with the super woman in Korean movie/drama industry Ha Ji Won in MBC’s new “King 2Hearts.” Lee Seung Gi will play as the spoil prince who will marry a tough woman from North Korea.

Jang Geun Seok will come out in two characters in KBS’ new drama “Love Rain.” Here he’ll be co-starred with SNSD Yoona. What makes this drama more highly anticipated is the setting would be back and forth between the current year with 1970s era. Love Rain will replace “Dream High 2” and starts broadcast on March 26.

The last two guys, Yoo Ah In and Lee Je Hoon will appear in SBS’ upcoming drama “Fashion King.” They’ll be two of four leading roles along with Shin Se Kyeong and SNSD Yoori in the drama. The story is about the passion of street fashion design of young designers.

So our cute ajeossie, Uhm Tae Woong, should be in this war among these young cute guys? Let’s see who has the most influence among them. Which “King” will it be? Or the love in the rain will get more attention? or the equator man will eventually beat up the two kings and the rain?

I think interesting and fresh ideas of story line will give significant effect on drawing viewers attention since they’re all great names. What a refreshing spring coming up…

Playing as Lee Ga Yeong on “Fashion King”, Shin Se Kyung must put down her hanbok from “Tree With Deep Roots” and transformed into a modern girl, and  as a young designer she has to look always fashionable.

Lee Ga Yeong grows up as a tough girl. She lost her parents from an accident happened when she was a child. And living alone in this world didn’t make her set back from the surface. She continued her late mother’s passion of becoming a fashion designer.

This picture was shot around Dongdaemun market area. And I love her bizarre coat. I don’t even know how to describe it. Many layers with different fabric and colors and composition…but it looks cool, especially on her.

On February 6th, through official website, SBS revealed Yoo Ah In’s stills from “Fashion King”.

After becoming the rebel teenage, Moon Jae Shin, on “Sungkyunkwan Scandal”, once again Yoo Ah In shows his freewill charisma. Even with those lousy outfits he looks cool and fashionable. He looks so bad boy, and i love it..

Yoo Ah In’s character, Kang Yeong Gul, the ordinary guy who has a dream as success designer, but he just street designer  on Dongdaemun market, feels no hope at first, but after he meets Lee Ga Yeong (Shin Se Kyung) eventually he realized  that there’s nothing impossible with hard work and belief.

This drama start airing on March 12 for replacing “Salaryman Cho Han Ji”.

First i want to apologize, before i’ve made misinterpretation, because it turned out that Shin Se Kyung  is still on Fashion King’s casts list. On December 24th, Shin Se Kyung came  to the script reading session with 20 other actors including Yoo Ah In, Lee Je Hoon, and also Yuri.

Finally Yuri agreed to act on small screen, following her band mate, Yoona and Jessica.,She even looked vigorous, coming to that place straight from  the airport after landing from Japan.

“Fashion King” is story of young guy, Yeong Gyeol (Yoo Ah In) who struggles to make his dreams on fashion industry comes true, and holds on his love and desire. Actually this is a reunion project from PD Lee Myung Woo, writers Kim Ki Ho and Lee Sun Mi, and the director Choi Moon Suk. They are the people behind the success of “What Happened in Bali”. And i hope this time they can make a drama as success as “What Happened in Bali” but lighter story line.

This drama will replacing “Salaryman” on SBS.

It seems that Shin Se Kyung  failed to join Yoo Ah In on new fashion drama “Fashion King”, because on December 17th, another potential female lead’s name was unveiled. SM Entertainment stated that one of SNSD’s member, Yuri, has been offered the Fashion King’s script and as consideration they have been looking over the SNSD’s schedule, and reportedly that Yuri was  also happy with this offer.

Meanwhile, Yoo Ah In’s Agency, Star K, announced that Yoo Ah In’s part on this drama was almost confirmed. In last meeting with the officials, the agreement has been reached. And the schedule for  the filming process has to start on mid or last December because this drama is planned to be airing the first episode on March 2012.

So, if Yuri accepts this offer,it’s gonna be the first experience for Yuri to play on drama. Then on early 2012 will be a very busy period for SNSD’s members, because besides Yuri, another member, Yoona, also acts on “Love Rain” alongside with Jang Geun Seok, which  is broadcast almost the same time as “Fashion King”.

“Fashion King” tells about a young guy (Yoo Ah In) who starts his business fashion as a vendor on Dongdaemun market, then he makes a big hit on fashion industry.

For Yoo Ah In, after acting alongside Yoo Chun (JYJ) on “Sungkyungkwan Scandal”, apparently once again he will play with idol star again.For 2012 is the singer-slash-actors-year, because next year there will be too many idols appear on small screen, not for singing but acting. Yuri will compete not only with her fellow member, Yoona, but also with Jiyeon (T-ara), Hyorin (Sistar), and more.
