The much anticipated ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal‘ starring TVXQ’s Micky Yoochun will have something else for us to look foward to.




To support their fellow group member, Jaejoong and Junsu have participated in the Sungkyunkwan Scandal’s OST.



Representatives stated, “Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu have participated in the OST. The two of them will showcase their own colors through their different style of music. ?Jaejoong and Junsu have recorded one song each, but the title song for the drama has not been decided. ?Also, Micky Yoochun will not sing a solo song.”




Park Sung Il, the music PD, has praised Jaejoong and Junsu, saying, “Xiah Junsu sings very well naturally, and Youngwoong Jaejoong is getting the chance to rediscover himself through the songs. They sing surprisingly well for idol singers.”




The trio has shown a special friendship, which garnered the attention of many fans. Especially, Xiah Junsu, who brought chicken for the entire staff during filming, showing his loyalty to Yoochun.




‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ marks Yoochun’s acting debut, and the story revolves around four youths who attend Sungkyunkwan University. ?This drama will air on August 30th through KBS.

My Princess is on for January premiere

Finally, some movement on My Princess. The upcoming romantic-comedy series has already cast its lead stars in Song Seung-heon (East of Eden) and Kim Tae-hee (IRIS), but we haven’t heard about this in months. Now it has a tentative airdate and a broadcaster: My Princess will aim for a January 2011 premiere on MBC.



I’d been wondering if My Princess was still on, because its writer Kim Eun-sook (City Hall, On Air) had announced yet another new series to air later this year, Jang Hyuk and Ha Ji-won’s anticipated Secret Garden. Looks like writer Kim will still be doing both dramas, one after the other.



The story of My Princess features Song as a diplomat and the sole heir to Korea’s top chaebol corporation. Kim Tae-hee’s character is described as a sly, lively, and thrifty woman — an interesting combination — who is a late student (as in, older than the norm) at a women’s university. One day, she becomes a princess. There are no details describing how this happens, but I’m anticipating some sort of high-concept meet-cute.



Directing will be PD Kim Sang-ho of Fantasy Couple, Story of Hyang Dan, and Hon. I’m conflicted, because I am looking forward to some aspects of this project but greatly discouraged by others. Example: I like all of director Kim’s abovementioned series, and he’s gotten better with each one (in fact, I think the directing on Fantasy Couple was weak, but he changed my mind with the eerie and suspenseful Hon). Casting Song Seung-heon and Kim Tae-hee could be great for laughs — either intentional, since this is a rom-com, or unintentional, because these two leads are famous for their mediocre acting. Either way I’m interested.



But the writer? Haaate. I don’t think she’s a horrible writer; it’s a case of her style just not working for me. I’m willing to concede that City Hall might possibly be a good drama, even if I couldn’t get into it. But I hated On Air. Was turned off by the WTF ending of Lovers in Paris. HATED Lovers. Hate her super-slick dialogue that uses so very many words to say so very little.



The drama is still casting and will begin filming in October.
