It seems we will meet "Friend", which premiered in 2001 and drew 8 million viewers, on television.
The production company is planning to produce "Friend" as a drama, and director Kwak Kyung-taek will hold the megaphone once more. "Friend" drew a lot of popularity from the start, left many catchphrases, and allowed Jang Dong-gun to officially rise up in stardom.
Jang Dong-gun and Yoo Oh-seong starred with strong Pusan accents and captivated audiences with their acting. The drama will cast stars with other styles but the list, of course, includes top stars.
Who will be the actors who receive judgment for following in Jang Dong-gun and Yoo Oh-seong's footsteps?
We cannot exclude Jang Dong-gun, who has worked with Director Kwak Gyeong-tae in "Typhoon" and "Friend". However, it doesn't seem likely that Jang Dong-gun will star in the drama after starring in the movie.
Because many directors work with actors they've already worked with, there is a possibility of Joo Jin-mo, who did "a LOVE", and Jeong Woo-seong, who did "Mutt Boy". Kim Min-joon, who was in "a LOVE", is better qualified, for he is from Pusan and can pull off the accent.
Because the drama will be in Pusan, like the movie, Kim Min-joon and other stars from Pusan might be qualified. Other stars from Pusan include Jang Hyeok, Lee Joon-ki, and Kang Dong-won.
