The role seems tailor made for him. Jang Keun Suk is totally going to rock this!
The character may look similar but the personality is totally different. We will all have to wait to see how the show turns out. It should be interesting.
so excited now to see his new look for this drama………
How I wish its already November. Just wonder who is the main female lead.
Sarah, thanks for translating and sharing this article.
Oh my gosh, I’m SO excited!! 😀 I love him so much, and so happy that he is finally going to make his acting comeback!! 😀 My Sukkie, fighting!! <3
I am so looking forward to this drama!! Personally I think this role is a piece of cake to him. Weight management? Does it mean that he would have to shed a few pounds? He looks healthy now…
Very much excited with this upcoming drama… Can’t wait to see his new look & his great acting talent… Many thanks sis Sarah for sharing & translating this great article 🙂
whether Dokgo Mate in cartoon is someone who is skinny? I think it would be a pity if Sukkie must be thinner than now, please do not let him be very thin ..
But anyway.. I can’t wait this project, Sukkie fighting ^_^
one of the reasons I love to see Sukkie in manga adapted drama is his ability to act & look so much like manga character which I have not seen before in other actors.. he is willing to sacrifice (to keep long hair, crew cut… lose weight etc..) just for the role he plays in.. I remember in YAB, he lose 9 kg just for YAB and he is really professional to be on diet through his Asia tour 2010 also to lose weight for YMP… and in Love Rain, he gained weight for In Ha role but has to lose weight for Seo Jun role…. and in MMM… he kept his hair long to look like the manga rocker KMG role….
In fact.. some of us are already guessing he has been testing out the drama images to us already in the past few months ^_^
now..he should cut his hair..short blonde hair.kkk….i think he dont try that style yet.
one of the reasons I love to see Sukkie in manga adapted drama is his ability to act & look so much like manga character which I have not seen before in other actors.. I watched some of the manga like MMM and so amazed with Sukkie resemblance… and in YAB.. even it is not manga adapted, Suk’s expression as HTK is really so original & refreshing and he even suggested to the director for the eye-lined HTK to fit the role.

Looks like he can show all his excellent fashion ability in this drama.
Expect very fashionable and colorful clothes for him.
Look forward to JKS new drama, hopely everyting goes well, and he keep healthy, happy during his shoot.
I’m so eager to see his hairstyle, and how he will breathe life into his new character…and of course, his chemistry with the lead actress^^
when this dramaaaaaaaaaaa will show to us ohhhhhhhhhhh god i am crazy to this drama hey jks ilove uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I think the other way around.. I guess he must become more meaty.. bit more musled..toned… he is always very slim and he is very energitic so easily loosing weight
i think his body condition now is perfect..no need to reduce or gain..just need some workout.kkkk…
Yeah…he started preparation already…so will have to manage his weight not to loose or gain…otherwise will not fit the costumes…
I can’t wait for this drama. So happy he has a new drama coming in November. We all have waited for a long time…so excited!!!
