I wonder what happened. did she refuse or it was just a fake rumor?
Doubt it was a fake rumor tbh, just a lot of times broadcasting officials/insiders or reporters get early leaks into casting news and stuff like that and with this it was just probably an offer that she received from the production company that leaked.
A good chunk of the time they are right even if it hasn't been confirmed yet but even if it's been reported that someone is being casted in something, the best bet on a confirmation is either from the production company, their agency, or the broadcasting network
Lee Hye Ri reportedly being considered as the new female lead now as she has received an offer and is reviewing it. Lee Yu Mi was initially offered the role of the female lead, but it fell through
