JYJ3 
I don’t want 90%. I want 101%!!!!
ya, can’t wait for it to be 100% confirm, if it is true, then Jaejoong will be the next hottest NIS director hehe
Please 100%, don’t you know Mr. Producer if you recruit jaejoong you can save your money on food cuz jaejoong’s fans will flooded your production with A LOT OF gift, (okay, that’s sounds stupid),
it’s true tho lol, it’s already a 10 billion won project, I’m sure they have money hehehe but of course JYJs fans are not gonna let them be hungry heheh, isnt that what happen when Chunnie filmed SKKS, ppl sent them a lot of goodies? heheh
wow that sounds so cooool! I bet Jaejoong’s presence will add much much much more viewership to the drama. It will certainly top top top and burst through the chart! May God bless Jaejoong!
I NEED TO WATCH THIS!
Omg yes, the cast and writer ;____; All that it needs now is a JYJ soundtrack!
Jaejoong seems to like mature dramas. First he chose Poseidon (…..well) and now Hanbando. If it all turns out well in the end, Jaejoong will be able to draw in more people into the fandom.
2011 so far looks pretty damn awesome. Tears of Heaven, qtv reality show, the world concert, and Hanbando. Now all we need is Micky’s drama and JYJ on music shows. Then life would be perfect.
totally agree with uuuuu!!!!!!1, I am loving this year already hehehe, cant wait for more good news.
OMG jaejoong in suit~~~my dream is completed KYA >WWWWWWWWWWWW< LOL XDDDDD omg YES i want 200% not 90% 200%%%%%%%%%%%%%
And not to mention with a gun!!! Ahhh!! He can shoot my heart anytime.. And whatever way he wants!!!
lol, it seems like Jae will be the first bad guy, that everyone loves hehehe
Don’t think he’ll be given the bad guy role.
Anyway, thought someone already said the talk about Jae casting as the bad guy is wrongly translated?
Chunnie said “we may see Jae perhaps on even more than 1 screen.”
Then Jae said Chunnie is a bad boy for telling a secret when he’s not suppose to.
Take what you may on what Chunnie meant. 🙂
thank u for the clarification ^^
no prob^^
I’m just excited on what Chunnie said “More than 1 screen”… so perhaps Jae’s involved in a few casting?
Small screen=drama +big screen=movie
🙂
@juno : OMG ! we’re thinking the same here !! when chunnie said it might be more than just 1 screen, i immediately think, maybe he’ll also appear in a movie..oh, okay, i wouldn’t think too much now, i just want this drama to be 100% confirmed to be starred by JJ ! and JDG ! oh God, finally my mom and I could watch the same tv show, kekkekeke…..
@chocogurl…LOL, I’m feeling the 200% part…not 90%…cause we all know about ‘roaches’ coming out of the woodwork at the 11th hour!! 🙂
i know right it better be 200%%%%%%%%%% and to SoMebody dirty hands involve AGAIN ==
Maybe this will help a bit. I was just over at SYC and someone mentioned that this is the same production company the did Yoochun’s SKKS. I was wondering why the name sounded familiar, since in the article above it seems to chop off the mention of their previous productions. Fingers, eyes, toes crossed. 🙂
God. let’s this 100% confirmed, pleasssssseeeeeee.
*exciting*
This better be confirmed or heads will roll. Jae needs this break so so so much and to do it with such a big cast/writer/production is just an icing on the cake.
woowwww…perfect!!!!JEJUNG!!!U CAN DO IT!U ARE HARDWORKING MAN!EXCITED!!!!!THANKS GOD.YOUR BLESS MY ALWAYS AT THEIR SIDE!!!AMEN.
if I knew that he will get this role, I wouldn’t be so pissed off abt poseidon. lol.
I hope this will 100% confirmed.
because what we heard before that JJ will back to japan soon, could it be about a new drama too,
so he will have 2 dramas??
or could it be that this drama will having a shoot in japan too?
whatever it is, I’m so exciting.
my 3 fav stars are in 1 drama. how awesome is that?
JDG, HJW and JJ fighting!!!
I’m kind of glad he didn’t get the role in Poseidon. Don’t quote me on this but I’ve heard from somewhere that it’s not getting proper funding, so it’s just being pushed around..
I want Jaejoong to be in a Korean movie. A thriller or something like that. Just no romantic comedies please haha
Oh man I heard that too. Plus someone just told me Poseidon got rejected by SBS and KBS.XD
I wonder why…*coughkarmacough*
@Jungu, yeap. me too. want him to be in korean movie so badly.
@bmw81187, really? *evilsmirk* XD
oh its also erics comeback so i’m a wee bit sad
I thought Jaejoong and micky and cutie junsu should be cast together in an all-out action movie, wearing suits, carrying guns, flying kicks, great kungfu! Woah! that’s what I hope to see them in. I hope some creative director out there would consider my wishlist. hehe
is it true that the writer for hwan jin yi wrote the script for this
that would be AWEEESOME
plus JDG hsnt been on the small screen for TEN years
i hope this gets explosive ratings!
lets hope it gets National drama status
*pulls myself down from cloudnine*
if IF they cockblock jj somebodys going to PAY!
@hungu unnie: ikr unnie, God has better plan for uri kind-hearted Kim Jaejoong 🙂
oh god
please let this come through for our dear Jaejoong. This will be such an amazing opportunity for him
if everything goes well, seriously, he’ll definitely be the sexiest NIS director EVER
muscular JJ in sleek black suit, guns, his own team of “minions” ~ throw in a sexy car + some actions
—-> lethal combination
my imagination runs wild now >_<
just pls, let this come through!!!
Why am I getting the image of the Korean James Bond from your description? LOL!!!
the poseidon role being taken away from him seems to be a blessing in disguise.. If he lands on this role with the cast and right plot.. and he does good acting in it.. the producer of Poseidon have all day to shake his head in regret,, but we wouldn’t know how well Jaejoong will do and how much he has improve in his acting until the show gets aired.. Athena has so much buzz going for it in the end it did not met the expectations and the hype in terms of ratings.. so i’ll just have to pray that people who is not expecting much be caught surprised like how Micky have done it in SKKS
yes, YC really did amazing in SKKS! wish the best for JJ too because with two top star he will have alot of burden.
Athena did not score despit being better acted better produced than IRIS because IRIS was first!
JDG has been away for 10 YEARS i dont think any of his ajumma fans will miss even a second of this
and from what i observe most SK actually dont hate the north (as in the people not the govt.)
this issue seems to be very close to koreans hearts so i’m sure many will tune in
I think considering the budget the casting the length they are trying to make a national drama (ratings 50%+)
Worried about the remaining 10% of the confirmation…please let it be 100% sometime soon. A drama with Jang Dong Gun and Ha Ji Won? If this is true, Jaejoong struck out. Big time. It would make the wait for his Korean drama so worth it.
DUDE!!!!
DUDE!!!!
DUDEEEEEEE!!!!!
OMG…please let it be true…. please Let JJ cast in HBD… PLEASE!!!! >.<
Omoooo…JJ in suit with a gun???
I'm watching!!!!
JYJ sure know how to pick a role in drama, eh??? 😉
If he has gotten the role this is very exciting. I hope he steadily improves his acting. It’s a blessing and a burden to be beside big names. You have to be able to carry your weight. Good luck Jaejoong. Hope this project goes well for him. He could use a little recognition in Korea for something other than being a pretty boy.
awww!!
but i wanted to see jae in a cute romantic,bad boy role…
=(
never mind there is another drama aswell!!
i am sure in HBD jaejoong will shine the most!!
cant wait for this drama!!
jaejoong fighting!!
Jaejoong’s going to be so hot in this role, I just know it! I’m so excited, please I hope this will be confirmed 100%. I’ve been wanting to see him in a Kdrama for so long.
Ahh… I wish that jyj will participate in the ost of the drama and no shitfull of artist from SME.. Like in paradise ranch.,.. Most of the singers are from SME… And it will be epic if all of the ost is sang by jyj with solos of course!!!
remember the last time we wish now all most haf now need they conf 100% and JYJ can sing…cant wait!!!
agree!!! XD, OMG sun, i’m too excited, I can’t even study, thinking about this make my day ^^
OK, it’s 90% now so EVERYBODY, LET’S PRAY HARD, REALLY HARD TOGETHER NOW ^^ my heart will definitely break into millions pieces if #$@$%^& happens this time
Oh my God JDG?HJW?
Are boy is starting out with the greats from the beginning…
no rookie dramas for him

LOL, after reading all the above post, I realize each of us really wanna see Jaejoong in our wishlist type of drama. As for me, I would love to see all the 3 lovely boys – Jaejoong/micky/junsu, in one drama, in a thriller, solving and fighting crimes, in handsome suits, carrying guns, and with great kungfu skills. I hope to see my wishlist come true soon.

I believe that the good will always be rewarded somehow.
Though the road may be rough, as long as our boys go on with dignity and honesty, they will be rewarded.
And of coz, on the other side, bad karma to those who did devil’s work.
Coughsmcough~

Sorry UNNIES!!! TT mianhe it seems they’re still discussing nothing is confirmed…but nate news said it’s confirm while tohosmania tweeted they’re still discussing TT sorry TT mianhe
i’m sorry TT very sorry! i didn’t mean too….i just got the news from twitter…i didn’t mean to hurt anyone happy feelings TT i’m feeling sad myself…..i don’t who to trust…nate news or tohosmania trans…but tohosmania said the PD hasn’t confirmed anything mianhe TT i didn’t mean to rain on anyone parade! forgive me TT
I replied to one of your earlier posts above. I’m feeling pretty good about it because the production company is the same one that did SKKS. Let’s say, the odds are looking better. OK? 🙂 Positive thoughts….
its ok dear..we all wanna hear THAT confirmation,and I hope it’ll happen soon…
Its alright bb… we should just pray that it’d happened 🙂
it’s ok Choco, we just need to pray harder.. *group hug* 🙂
its ok,bb! we still have to wait anyway until Jun or junly! *HUGS*
oh don’t feel bad!!!! I just don’t understand why they take forever to confirm this, I really don’t want to wait till june or july to find out but oh well.
its alright dont beat yourself up over it!!!!
Atleast if it all goes as planned Jae landed a role that many more established actors would kill for
This could make his career
Still on cloud nine 😉
Maybe I’m a bit slow…but how does all this speculation get out in the first place? If you are not ready to release information, who in ‘your’ company is giving it out to reporters? I’m sure the press are not making these names up. They are reporting specific names, related to specific parts, concerning specific story lines. So, what gives here? I get ‘wink wink’, ‘nod nod’, but when you have to spend so much energy ‘denying’ things this is a bit much.
Kind of makes me wonder, how terrific is this production supposed to be in the first place? Not that I won’ be happy to see JaeJoong in it, but come on guys, you can do better than this.
It does seem to happen too often to be a simple “leak”. It seems to be a common way for the production companies to judge what kind of reception a “cast” will get. It also gets talk started about the drama. Or drama…about the drama. (Sorry. I can’t believe I typed that either.)
That’s true. Before yesterday, most people have not even heard about “HanBanDo.” Now, every one is aware of it. I guess the “leaking” was effective in bringing focus to the drama.
I think I’m more pissed for letting my hopes up again than the news about it not being confirmed. Because I really should have known better by now, after what happened the first time.
@Eliza
I’ll be patient, don’t have any choice, but they have to know they are playing with fire here. 🙂
If ‘discussion’ is still ongoing, make sure the discussion is honest and not leg jerking. A whole yang full of folks will not like it,…SKKS, not withstanding.
we’re trending for Junsu ,guys #JunsuTOH &.please don’t forget ,we need to vote and ask more people continue to vote for JYJ in SHORTY AWARD,it will ends at FEB 11,they’re adding more days ,so ,we need “protect” our JYJ and get them to New York
