Novel adaptation?
By now, most of you ladies would know that our favorite actor Park Sihoo-ssi has confirmed taking on a new historical drama. He shared this information during his recent Japan Fan Meeting in Tokyo. Filming of the drama would begin in mid January 2020 and on air in April 2020. In all, the estimated filming duration is about 7 – 8 months.
He didn’t reveal the name of the drama and the TV station at that time. But yesterday, the first inkling was sounded out by a lone Korean press article and then followed by a few more. The supposed drama, which is still under discussion, is “Wind, Cloud and Rain 바람과 구름과 비”. Park Sihoo-ssi has been offered the lead role of Choe Cheonjung 최천중, a seer or astrologer who can foretell the future.
Now if our Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi confirms the role and if my speculation is correct, then the drama is an adaptation of a Korean novel by the same name, written by Lee Byungju 이병주. “Wind, Cloud and Rain 바람과 구름과 비” was serialised and published as a daily column in the Chosun Ilbo newspaper from 2 February 1977 to 31 December 1980. It was also produced into a 50-episode drama by KBS running from 9 October 1989 to 29 March 1990.
The setting of the novel was during the Joseon Cheoljong period in the 1850s. Choe Cheonjung was a versatile astrologer, highly killed in martial arts. His good looks attracted women and he had strong business acumen that earned him his wealth.
His strong ambitions went beyond just astrology. He had an uncanny ability to attract talent of whatever kind. From those skilled in martial arts, the learned scholars, devil-may-care “playboys” and even compulsive liars, he took them under his wing. He used the Samjeon Hall as a base to counter the turbulent times and to oust the current ruling party who was bringing the Joseon dynasty to it ruin.
So if this were a novel adaptation of Lee Byungju’s work, then Park Sihoo-ssi’s character Choe Cheonjung will be of a different era to his Kim Seungyu in his classic historical drama “The Princess Man”. Will he be wearing the traditional Korean hanbok or the more modern, Western style worn during the Cheoljong period?
I wonder, is our Oppa’s current hairstyle is meant to be for his new drama? Short and styled like the older times, fitting that 1850s period? We shall see…but first, will Oppa confirm taking on Choe Cheonjung’s role?
It will be a most novel drama that will bring out the talent of Park Sihoo-ssi!
小说的改编?
到目前,姐妹们都会晓得我们最喜欢的演员施厚君已经确认他的新作品。是古装历史电视剧。他是在最近的东京日本粉丝见面会上分享了这个消息。该剧的拍摄将于2020年1月中旬开始,并于2020年4月开始播出,估计会拍摄大约7-8个月时间。
当时他没有透露电视剧的名称,内容和播出的电视台。但是昨天早上,有一篇单独的韩媒报道引起了注意,然后是更多的新闻报道。假定,正在协调的电视剧是“风,云和雨 바람과 구름과 비”,而施厚君将扮演可以预测未来的先知或占星家崔春重(音)최천중的主角。
如果我们的偶吧Oppa施厚君确认了这个角色,而我的猜测是正确的,那么这部电视剧就是李炳注이병주所著的同名韩国小说的改编。“风,云和雨 바람과 구름과 비”被序列化并在1977年2月2日至1980年12月31日,每天出版在朝鲜日报的专栏。KBS于1989年10月9日至1990年3月29日将其制作成一部50集的电视剧。
小说的背景是在1850年代朝鲜天宗时期。 崔春重(音)최천중是一位多才多艺的占星家,擅长武术。他玉骨风俊的俊秀容貌吸引了许多女性,而商业敏锐性使他赚了大把财富。
他不仅专业占星术,而且还雄心壮志。他具有能力吸引各种人才。从那些擅长武术,学者,“花花公子”甚至骗子,他把他们集在他的指导下。他以三田厅为基地来应对动荡的时代并推翻现任执政党。
如果施厚君的新电视剧是李炳珠的小说的改编,那么他的角色崔春重(音)최천중会与他的经典电视剧“公主的男人”的金承琉是处于不同的时代。在天宗时代, 穿着是否会是传统的韩服,还是现代的西方风格呢?
我们的偶吧Oppa目前的短,适合1850年代的发型是为了这个角色吗?当然前提是偶吧Oppa是否会确认扮演崔春重(音)최천중这个角色?
这会是一部将可以展现施厚君演艺才华的新颖电视剧!
