Drama story :
an upcoming 16-episode drama called Bulgasal (the Hongkong media’s translation of the title literally means “Unkillable”). This is no small-time serial: Bulgasal is said to boast an impressive production budget of 40bil won (S$46mil). The story centres on a seemingly immortal man who has lived for 600 years — hence the name of the show — and a woman who is repeatedly reincarnated while being able to remember the events of her past lives.
Ong Seong Wu may be reuniting with Ryu Seung Ryong in a new movie!
On November 13, Korean news outlet Sports Chosun reported that according to multiple industry insiders, Ong Seong Wu had been cast in the upcoming film “Jung Family Cattle Ranch” (literal translation).
However, Ong Seong Wu’s agency Fantagio has since clarified that his casting is not yet in stone. A representative of the agency officially stated, “[Ong Seong Wu] is currently in talks to appear in ‘Jung Family Cattle Ranch,’ with a favorable outlook.”
“Jung Family Cattle Ranch” will tell the story of two brothers who raise cattle together, and “The World of the Married” star Park Hae Joon and veteran actor Ryu Seung Ryong have already been confirmed to star in the film. The movie will be helmed by Kim Ji Hyun, the director of the 2015 drama “Splash Splash Love.”
