MARY Drops Death Metal Character, Confirms Jang Geun Seok as a Peace-Loving Hippie

Yoochun in Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Jang Geun Seok has confirmed he’ll return to drama in the manhwa adaptation Mary Stayed Out All Night. The star says he felt conflicted about taking on another music-related role after his career-making turn in You’re Beautiful, but the script was “so fun” that he couldn’t turn it down. One big change for the character, originally a death metal singer, is that he’s now a sweet and sensitive indie rock vocalist. Read more about the plot and casting rumors swirling around Mary here.

Teasers for two of the biggest dramas of the fall were released, and they’re both wall-to-wall action. The IRIS spinoff Athena: Goddess of War released a good look at the spy series that you can check out here. A sneak peek at Rain‘s Runaway (now titled Plan B?) features lots of, well, running, but there’s also car crashes and umbrellas.

Yoochun‘s character got tipsy and flashed a bit of skin on his new sageuk Sungkyunkwan Scandal, but is a mediocre shot of his legs enough to boost ratings for the foundering series? Have a look!

Kim Tae Hee revealed that she lied about her height on her actor’s profile, and spilled the beans about Yang Dong Geun‘s “unique style of kissing” on the variety show Win Win.

Prosecutor PrincessPark Shi Hoo will next appear with Jung Jun Ho and Chae Jung Ahn on the Queen of Housewives pseudo-sequel Queen of Reversals. He’ll play a cold and “indifferent” department head at the company where drama takes place. Kim Nam Joo will return as Chun Ji Ae in the new series, a role for which she won the “Actor of the Year” award from the Korean government. Other than Kim, though, the characters and plot of the first Queen will be left behind.

The stage musical version of Goong opened, with idol Yunho in the lead. See the curtain calls and judge for yourself if his singing is up to snuff.

Finally, drama fans in Dramafever’s hometown of NYC should be on the lookout for Lee Min Ho and Han Chae Young, said to be arriving tomorrow for the Fashion Week festivities. And the next time you’re on the subway, keep your eyes open for Wonder Girls!
