Wow I never expected to see a Jewel In the Palace sequel, let alone with Lee Young Ae acting in it.
I remember it's been in talks ever since man y years ago. I remember seeing a discussion the reason why Kim Young Hyun (writer of Jewel in the Palace, Queen Seon Deok, Tree with Deep Roots, Arthdal Chronicles, Six Flying Dragons) left MBC was because they wanted her to write a Jewel in the Palace sequel soon when she wanted back then was to do Six Flying Dragons. I'm not sure if this sequel will be written by Kim Young Hyun or even be aired by MBC though.
You guys saw the news? There's a part 2 coming with Lee Young Ae as the FL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh definitely. It's either Ji Jin Hee or no male lead at all. I really like Han Ji Min and Park Eun Hye, they are two of my faves in this series, that's why I want them back as well.

yes, I saw it. Quite excited but I'm not sure exactly what story will they tell. Will they recast people like Park Eun Hye and Han Ji Min (two actresses who played Jang Geum's friend in this drama)
As much as I love this couple for them work together again this soon, might not leave them much time to grow as…
they promised to work together again and they are good friends, but I really want Chae Won to have a drama where she's the top-billed actress first, which is why I agree with you. I wish people remember Chae Won for more things than just being the female lead of SJK or Lee Joon Gi
I have loved moon chae won since Innocent man. I would love to see her work with SJK again
love Joongki but Chaewon will just get unnecessary haters (ex: immature fans of SJK ex wife) if she paired with him again especially as she's been shipped with him in the past and she got a lot of hate when he was in his DOTS era , she even closed her instagram. As Chae Won is announced here first, most likely she'll be the top-billing actor which she surely can't if Song Joong Ki is the male lead since he has bigger clout than her. I want her to get more popularity and love before she works with him again. I want her to be remembered for more projects than just being SJK's female lead.
Now that you mention it, I would absolutely love to watch a Kdrama adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Novel is…
I'd rather Goguryeo or Silla or Japanese period personally as I'm not a big fan of Goryeo period, but it's fine. The way I think this story will work is that Elizabeth is nobility, Darcy is related to the local magistrate on his father's side while his mother and Lady Catherine are daughters of a prince (in the original they are daughters of an earl hence they have "lady" titles). The Bingleys are former merchants whose father was favored by the king hence they are seen as almost equal to the Darcys. I'm trying my best to incorporate Korean cultures and titles to how it works in Britain.
what a great idea, the 1993 movie with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh was fantastic. I think Twelfth Night…
it's from 2011 and it stars Moon Chae Won from Flower of Evil, it's technically her most acclaimed performance as she received a Baeksang nomination for this role.

also a good idea though I'd rather want Sense and Sensibility or Emma since I feel like many kdramas has the elements of Pride and Prejudice (rich arrogant male lead is actually a kind hearted person).
I didn't read her books yet...are they really that good?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN7j7Ey-cM0 --> you can try watching this movie, I think the characters in this version of Persuasion really captures the characters from the book (though Wentworth's actor is a bit too old even if he's great).

Yes, while they're set in the regency period, some ofthe characters' characteristics can even be found today. One example is there's a character in one novel that boasts his that his carriage is so much better than his friend's carriage, quite similar to how some young men boasts of their newly bought cars. You can start by watching the movie or miniseries adaptations. Here are the adaptations I recommend: 1. Sense and Sensibility - 1995 movie with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet 2. Pride and Prejudice - 1995 miniseries with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth (Barbie 2023 movie referenced this) 3. Mansfield Park - 1999 movie (haven't watched the 2007 movie though) 4. Emma - 2009 miniseries with Romola Garai, there's a recent 2020 movie with Anya Taylor Joy but the 2009 miniseries is so much better as many characters are fleshed out 5. Northanger Abbey - 2007 movie with Felicity Jones, JJ Feild, and Carey Mulligan 6. Persuasion - 1995 movie with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds
I am glad someone mentioned Maurice. I keep thinking that they could do a modern Chinese adaptation of this drama…
The Merchant Ivory movies of A Room with a View and Howards End (also by E.M Forster) are both really amazing, I was on a classic British movies and shows mode last year. It would be interesting to see them as kdramas (haven't seen Maurice since Hugh Grant is not a fave though he's good in Sense and Sensibility).
Sense and Sensibility - The actress playing Marianne Dashwood must have Moon Chae Won's (can't cast her as she's too old unless the adaptation will not follow OG characters' ages) melo skills when enacting melo-romance dramas, also the actor playing John Willoughby must be more handsome (or at least does have more of an "oppa" look that attracts many fangirls) than actors playing Colonel Brandon and Edward Ferrars. Elinor Dashwood's actress must be very good at subtlety in acting as she rarely shows what she truly feels so that the audience can see in her eyes what she truly feels while still making it sensible why the other characters' couldn't. Emma - would have loved to see this as well, I want this to be a female centric drama about an imperfect character, I find many kdrama reviewers less forgiving of female leads with imperfections compared to male leads, that's why I hope this kind of story will be popular.
I know it's a play and not a book but I feel like Much Ado About Nothing would make a good rom-com kdrama. I feel…
what a great idea, the 1993 movie with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh was fantastic. I think Twelfth Night might be a good one as well, except there's already a lot of crossdressing Korean dramas. The Princess Man (2011) had the label of Joseon's Romeo and Juliet, but I think this one has many Shakespearean elements like Hamlet and Richard III in its story. The best part was that they were not planning these other Shakespearean elements since most of the main characters and the political events in this drama are based on real life (and they lived about 100-200 years before Shakespeare).
