Actress Moon Chae Won has decided not to be cast in SBS TV’s upcoming drama, “Rooftop Prince.”
On January 16, Moon’s agency revealed through a TV report, “We’ve been reviewing the script for drama ‘Rooftop Prince,’ but have made the final decision not to cast in it.”
An official explained the reason, saying that “after reading the script, we realized that the drama is more sageuk-related than we thought. We decided not to take the role because we wanted to avoid keeping a sageuk image [for Moon], through her recent projects “The Princess’s Man” and “Arrow: The Ultimate Weapon.”
The agency continued with, “Miss Moon Chae Won wants to take a break from her busy schedule” and “We will take more time to look carefully for her next project and come back with a familiar and better image.”
Lee Hee Myung, writer of dramas “Mister Q” and “Successful Story of a Bright Girl” will work with PD Shin Yoon Sub, who has directed many popular dramas such as “KAIST,” “Dear Heaven,” “Lovers,” and “Why Did You Come to My House.”
Casting for “Rooftop Prince” has been gaining attention from viewers as it was recently revealed that JYJ’s Park Yoochun has been cast as the male lead. The drama is set to replace “The 3rd Hospital,” and begin airing on March 14. There have been no other castings yet. Stay tuned for more updates
*die officially*
Yoochun also haven’t confirmed his role too D:
*speechless n die again*
Hmm..i hope better actress will take that role..i want han hyo jo
i want song ji hyo!!
I think so too. I also want Song Ji Hyo acting with our boys. They’re just perfect team. 🙂 If this film could also cast Jae and Su, and even Yuhwan in, it would make a huge boom. :))
hahaha yesss she is a awesome actriz and they have chemistry!
vote on this
Same here!!! :))
me too!! shes awesome ;A;
@Junchan
LOVE Song Hye Jo!
LOL is song hye jo a hybrid of song ji hyo and song hye kyo?
@JUNO
“LOL is song hye jo a hybrid of song ji hyo and song hye kyo?”
Yes! We demand the hybrid!! lol
(oops, my bad…)
Nooo
She is cheap person
OH WELL! I’m hoping this drama is worth the wait!
It’s probably just because they don’t want any idolish dramas.
I want lee yo won from 49days she is a brilliant actress
Agree
and she good in Queen Seon deok which is Sageuk drama.. 🙂
@putrihs
“and she good in Queen Seon deok which is Sageuk drama.”
Yes, I like her a lot too.
@lilibaiyu: honestly in the drama Queen Seon deok .. I was most impressed with the antagonist cast *i forgot her name, the one who playing as a Queen Mother*.. I think she’s really very evil and know how to represent her character verry well..
@putrihs
” I was most impressed with the antagonist cast *i forgot her name, the one who playing as a Queen Mother*.. ”
Yes, that’s Ko Hyun Jung. She was great. She made my list of favorite actresses. 🙂
@lilibaiyu: i already google it! yes that lady.. she is awesome.. too bad, i rare seen her in drama.. 😦
@putrihs
“: i already google it! yes that lady.. she is awesome.. too bad, i rare seen her in drama.. ”
She was also in “Daemul” with Kwon Sang Woo. I didn’t see that, it looked kinda boring. Do you ever go to Dramawiki.com? I practically live there I go there so much. They have the entire casts of all the dramas there
(use the top left search bar) with links on each actors name for everything else they’ve done. It’s great if you
need to find out someone’s name in a lesser role or if you forget someone’s name.
I wish they going to cast Moon Geun Young. I really want to see them act together.
I like her too *___*
Moon Geun Youn , i like her in cinderella sister. I read before that she does not like to work with idols. I remember 2pm taecyeon said she declined the drama at first because he was in.
Really??? Didn’t she act in Marry Me, Mary with Jang Geun Suk? That drama did not do well either….
But Jang Geun Suk is actor even though his acting is mid core . Oh that drama I can’t believe they completed it.
I heard about that. Her acting is good, but I’m probably the only person who doesn’t really like her; talent-wise, yes, but personality-wise, no.
oh, me too. i think they are perfect couple.
PYC&MGY, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I’m secretly glad she didn’t get cast. I didn’t like her in shining inheritance…not that you were suppose to since she was evil and all -_- but bad impressions stay with me. I want Han hyo joo!!
and i didn’t like her character in princess’ man. idky.
Kinda agree with you. And I saw some people want Song Ji Hyo. But her role in Frozen Flower, aigoo, I still can’t take the image out of my head. Like you, the impression stays with me. T T. Maybe I should watch Running Man.
Moon Chae Woon fighting! u must be somekind bored ne, if should have to play in saeguk drama again.. not because u dislike our chunnie rite?? *im trying hard to hold my tears*
@putrihs
I agree with you. I want to believe she is bored by playing saiguk and I want to believe that Yoochuna’s feelings will not be hurt or wounded. But it does sound a bit of an off-hand rejection since nowhere does it say, she would enjoy the opportunity to work with the devastatingly handsome Park Yoochun in another type of drama at some point in the very near future. It would have perhaps been more gracious to say it that way, ne? Then I wouldn’t be thinking thoughts like “she’s pretty, but maybe Micky will be better matched with an actress who is as pleasant personally as he himself is…” Forgive me if you a Moon Chae Won fan. I have to admit I am feeling protective of Yoochuna and may not be as polite as I should be right now.
Actors never go into that much detail or make it that personal when they or their management release a statement rejecting a role. It’s the role they’re rejecting, not the actor they potentially may pair up with. YC hasn’t officially accepted the role either, so it would be weird if she went into that much detailing about regretting not working with him (especially if he rejects the role too and another actor is cast, how would that actor feel?). It may even cause a scandal lol. Don’t take these statements personally, even if it’s the actor’s decision, it’s released by their management and are stated as professionally as possible (e.g. non-personal, about the project, and not cast members).
typo: i mean “she” sorry.. 🙂

” But it does sound a bit of an off-hand rejection since nowhere does it say, she would enjoy the opportunity to work with the devastatingly handsome Park Yoochun in another type of drama at some point in the very near future. It would have perhaps been more gracious to say it that way, ne?”
Maybe she’s still pining for Park Shi Hoo…? lol Stranger things have happened.
🙂
“Maybe she’s still pining for Park Shi Hoo…? lol Stranger things have happened. ” — lol! i think she is. xD
ooppss.. so u mean he does not want others to replace the position of PSH rite? mmmm…
LOL maybe it is too soon for you guys too since the pairing is still on your mind (mcw + psh). I like mcw a lot, but it’s probably better for yoochun to act with someone who doesn’t have a strong shipping fanbase, so there are no comparisons in the romantic pairing.
typo, i mean “she” sorry.. 🙂
Aww was hoping for her but as long as chun gets someone just as good! It’s true she shouldn’t stick to historicals but it’s also with a modern twist!
yeah. and she’s so damn pretty. *so?* haha. in another news it was said that mcw wants to take a break for a while. it’s quiet hectic for her last year.
It would be my happiest moment if Yoochun get paired with Song Hye Gyo…..XDD!!!
agree with you there!
dont worry guys this is okay.. do you remember someone else was casted in SKKS before but she declined as well that’s why Park Min Young got to star on it..im sure someone else is destined to play that role with yoochun
Exactly! And SKKS was a huge success!
She’s the one who’s losing the opportunity to work with a great and very talented actor: Park Yoochun.
Totally agree.
I like your comment, so positive. And yes, uri Chun will pair with someone better than her^^.
MCW is good actress but I think she is too mature for Chun, even they are same age. She had great chemistry with Park Shi Ho in her last drama The Princess Man. After that, she won’t get great chemistry again in this short time, except she really really good and pro actress. So… Uri Chun deserve to get someone better ^___~
i wonder who is she ?
how about lee yo won from 49days?
or his dream girl (Kim Tae Hee)
@Panda KMK
“how about lee yo won from 49days? or his dream girl (Kim Tae Hee)”
Oh, please GOD, not Kim Tae Hee!!!!!!! That would just be too cruel.
with his dream girl KIm Tae Hee…. I think he can’t concentrate when he act LoLLL….
It’s better Song Hye Gyo than KTH ^^
Ooohh, no Kim Tae Hee…pleaseee !!! I never consider her as fabulous in acting, just an average OK to me…but she’s pretty alright. I’d rather choose Song Hye Gyo….although she look older.
Yoochun needs an excellent co star in rom-com drama..
@rosey
“Ooohh, no Kim Tae Hee…pleaseee !!! I never consider her as fabulous in acting, just an average OK to me”
Oh, no. We’ve officially nixed Kim Tae Hee. If she gets cast there’s gonna be trouble. 🙂
Lee Yo Won… for me she’s another no, although I loved her in Queen Seon Duk and 49 Days. But i think she looks too old for Yuchun. How does everybody feel about Shin Min Ah?
@lilibaiyu
All the troubles definitely will be ours……XDD!!!
But…what if they choose Gong Hyo Jin….instead of those pretty faces ???
Can you imagine what will it be ??
From all the drama titles they mention, I only know Successful Story of Bright Girl, IDK the rest. I must be still have phobia from Chun’s last drama Miss Ripley. I hope the PD, the writer-nim and all the casts will make a good chemistry and make a great story.
So the story is more saeguk than modern. I really hope Chun take the role, I miss Lee SonJun. And who ever the actresses will be, I hope she’s pretty and have good chemistry with uri Chun. And please not too old from uri Chun. He already have enough Noonas (us) LoLLL…. (‘▿^)♉
Bad family was great drama .it had many characters but It was well done drama with good rating.
By the way it had the same writer as Rooftop prince.
I hope the writer-nim can make a surprise story line, not just K-drama routine formula, so boring sometimes.
Like Ojakgyo Brothers’s writer-nim who won the best writer in KBS drama award 2011, I have to admit, she is good.
Whoever who work with uri Chun, I hope they all the best and make something way way better than before. Fighting!!!
“I must be still have phobia from Chun’s last drama Miss Ripley”
hmm.. me too. Miss Ripley was backup with excellent cast but awful story writer, I think the writer failed to expand the character so it was a bit boring.
I sincerely think if not because the awesome cast (Yoochun, Kim Seung Wo. LDH etc) , miss ripley won’t survived. Thankfully the rating was good ^^
Whoever take the role, please take care of our Chunnie, hehehe.
Yes, and I watched MR just because of Chun, and I think the rating was good just because of chunsas and ajumma army. It’s so great he has a lot of loyal fans ^^
I miss Lee Seon Jun, too. I’ve just watched SKKS again. Wanna see Chunnie in this drama.
I am glad she did not take the role. Was hopping for a more experienced actress so that YC can learn from her
Oh no, i like YC/CW couple, i am so happy yesterday but…… well, she missed the chance to work with our lovely Chunnie…..
darn i was hoping but oh well i understand, she doesn’t want to do another period drama. i hope someone else with great acting skills take on the job. micky hasn’t even confirm this role yet….. i wonder why…. though it is cutting really close with his concerts in south america.
um..that’s true, Yoochun hasn’t even confirmed the role yet. I also wonder why..
yeh~ i don’t really like her that much…hope ji hyo or else will take the role…=P
Am I the only one in the world who DOESN’T particularly care for Wang Ji Hye?
Wang Ji Hye? She’s acted with JJ in Ptb right?
I like her, she’s a good actress but I’m not sure if she fit to be a princess in saeguk drama.
@gigikusakit
“I like her, she’s a good actress but I’m not sure if she fit to be a princess in saeguk drama.”
Oh, I know, just discussing actresses who might be good I thought of her. She’s in “Bachelor’s Vegetable Store ” with that cutie pie Ji Chang Wook and when I found that out, all of a sudden I wasn’t so keen on watching it and then I remembered it was because I don’t like her. lol
“all of a sudden I wasn’t so keen on watching it and then I remembered it was because I don’t like her. lol”
LMAO. Why you didn’t like her? xD
@gigikusakit
““all of a sudden I wasn’t so keen on watching it and then I remembered it was because I don’t like her. lol”
LMAO. Why you didn’t like her? xD ”
lol I just laughed when I read that again too. I’m not sure why–I just thought she was whiny and horrible in PTB and I don’t think she’s very attractive at all.
My favorite actresses are Shin Min Ah, Ha Ji Won, Park Min Young, Moon Chae Won, Han Ga In, Oh Yun Soo, Ko Hyun Jung, Seo Woo, Han Hyo Joo. There are more.
Acresses I hate: Sung Yu Ri, Kim Tae Hee & Park Si Yeon.
@lilibaiyu
I also like Ha Ji Won, Park Min Young, and Moon Chae Won. They are excellent actresses.
“Actresses I hate: Sung Yu Ri, Kim Tae Hee & Park Si Yeon.” <—– I LOVE YOUR LIST ! <333
@gigikusakit
““Actresses I hate: Sung Yu Ri, Kim Tae Hee & Park Si Yeon.” <—– I LOVE YOUR LIST ! <333"
LOL Also, please note I have listed the actresses in the order in which I hate them.
🙂
LOL
WJH? i wasnt so keen on her in Personal Taste, but in PTB she was kind of cute 🙂 I really dont have any particular actress as favourite or hate. As long as they can deliver then they are fine. Kekekke.
But whorever turn down uri Chunnie will be in my bad list 🙂 Hahahahah, speaking like a true Chunsa. Any way thats not the point. Its better she turn down the offer if she doesnt want to do any more sageuk and not because shes afraid that Yoochun will outshine her or under the impression that people will only pay attention because of him.
Well, its her lost. We dont have to be so disappointed.. Hey, there a tons of actresses who can act better than her and i am sure there will be one who will fit uri Chunnie. And the drama it will shine…. theres no Ripley’s vibe in the story line. PYC, fighting
agree with your comment 🙂
i have more interests with the other three funny guys along with our prince.^^
Yes. My wish is that they cast Yoohwan as the 23-year old, genius teacher Yoochun. Wouldn’t that be cute?! Park brothers in one drama.
*teacher of Yoochun
“Casting for “Rooftop Prince” has been gaining attention from viewers as it was recently revealed that JYJ’s Park Yoochun has been cast as the male lead.”
Oh please, don’t make such statements if the other party haven’t confirm yet! this is just a on-sided confirmation!
YC… when can we hear news from you? ^-^
can they just ask park min young again ? it will be great to see them in saeguk again
yes please! This is a drama which depends a lot on lead chemistry since they are going to be both in the past and the future. So Min Young would have been a good choice. But I don’t know whether they will repeat the pair again, though I wish they did!
WORSE FOR HER! 😐
i heard that sbs offering this role to kim soo eun, after she finishing her resent drama a thousand kisses.. but i dunno it just a rumor.. and i am glad if it is true coz i like her role in boys before flowers.
@taraluvJJ
“i heard that sbs offering this role to kim soo eun, after she finishing her resent drama a thousand kisses.”
I like her. She was in “Fly Daddy Fly.” She looks really young. That might be nice for Yuchun.
I’m rooting for Kim So Eun, but have you guys consider Park Shin Hye..I like to see her more with a new character. Hopefully they will announce who is the main lead soon, can’t wait!!! 🙂
agree with u, i like shin hye too, her natural beauty and chubby cheeks
@MAODE
“I’m rooting for Kim So Eun, but have you guys consider Park Shin Hye..”
I’m halfway in and halfway out about Park Shin Hye. I did really really like her in “You’re Beautiful” but she can be a little bit too pose-y and cutesy too. Mugging for the camera, doing all the pouting, etc. seems to be tolerated by Korean drama directors but I don’t care for it much. I think I still like Kim So Eun better….
@lilibaiyu
Give me KSE anytime. There was a clip in Youtube that compares her “natural ” beauty with Park Min Young’s “plastic” one . I am not sure about the truth . But I do feel sorry for KSE that she seems to be not as lucky as PMY so far, despite being a pretty and good actress.
But I also like PMY as she is honest and humble.She admitted to getting help for her pretty features while half the Korean tinseltown denies they had plastic surgery till the cow comes home , is cooked and served as beef , eaten and sent to the sewers .And they still say they as natural as Kim Tae Hee. Now you know why our Yu Chun ‘s ideal girl is the all naural beauty – Miss Kim.
I heard kim soeun is being offered the role? Yes please! I hope yoochun makes it official soon too!
i like her~ i hope they won’t release the news too fast before at least they got an okay response. >,<
“Maybe she’s still pining for Park Shi Hoo…? lol Stranger things have happened. ”
@lilibaiyu, Haha! I see you are still in The Princess Man mode !! So have you finished watching your TPM DVD?
Let’s get back Park Min Young for the new drama. They had such great chemistry in SKKS, I had actually wished they would date in real life while the drama was still on -going.
But I guesss maybe our Yu Chun prefers an older woman.He once said he would like a partner like Kim Tae Hee ! Your nemesis, my dear. Your nemesis ! How do you like your most loved actor marrying your most hated one ?? Haha!
Haha, I too had wished they had dated when skks was going on. Anyway, KSE might be good though after watching BOF, I associate her more with a delicate beauty than a spunky one. Yet, whoever gets this role, i think, will be lucky since it seems a good role. Wonder whether YC is also waiting to see the female lead cast before confirming.
@My sadistic therapist Hottie
“But I guesss maybe our Yu Chun prefers an older woman.He once said he would like a partner like Kim Tae Hee ! Your nemesis, my dear. Your nemesis ! How do you like your most loved actor marrying your most hated one ??”
Before I let that happen I will fly to Korea and literally throw myself between them at the altar when the priest says “If any man knows why these two people should net be joined together let him speak now….”
🙂
In other news, yes I finished watching TPM again and this time around I liked it even more than the first 2 times. Especially Song Jong Ho. So smoldery and gorgeous.
That last scene in the drama where PSH is smiling all the time just KILLS me though. Yikes. THAT my friend is a world class smile.
@lilibaiyu !!
There you are, my chingu, Hey! calling you friend doesn’t mean you get up from the couch and get free consultation. On account of our mutual admiration for PSH as an accomplished actor and your frequent warming up of my couch, I’ll give you 50% discount.
But I am ashamed of you. First, you insisted on calling yourself Mrs Song Il Guk in your next life. Next, PSH is killing you softly with his smile .Now Song Jong Ho’s eyes threaten to migrate out of their sockets because you are making eyes at him. And you resisted telling me the truth about your OCD on other actors besides those three,despite under hypnosis.
Is Jae Joong aware what is going on with you, lady??
O, about The Princess Man, I love that “knowing ” smile PSH gave Moon Chae Won the morning after their wedding night. No words. Just that smile to affirm her that ” You are now my shadow and I am yours, no matter how far apart we are.” I would die for that smile ! I too love PSH’s smile in the last scene. But why did the producer insist on him getting blind? I want his eyes to smile too.
@Hottie
” And you resisted telling me the truth about your OCD on other actors besides those three,despite under hypnosis. Is Jae Joong aware what is going on with you, lady??”
Oops, gee didn’t I mention the OCD re: The Koreans?? Gosh, silly me… Musta slipped my mind….
🙂
@Hottie
Hmmmm…. OCD and Senility…. a bad combination…
allow me to join TPM spazz. i also like Song Jongho. his acting in TPM is a bit two dimensional and flat at times, but it’s understandable since he has to put that angsty and depressed face all the time. and i kinda feel bad for him because he barely got recognition for his acting. he’s been there for yearssss yet he still nominated for “best new actor”… and he never got the lead role. ;_; i wish to see him more in kdramas this year. the only works of him i have watched so far is only TPM and WISOC.
@noi
” i also like Song Jongho. his acting in TPM is a bit two dimensional and flat at times, but it’s understandable since he has to put that angsty and depressed face all the time.”
I just think he’s so so handsome and yet a bit quirky. My kinda guy. Among others. lol
Was WISAC good?
@lilibaiyu
Behave yourself my VE sister aka Mrs SIG ! I am going to tell Song Il Guk what you just said !
@Hottie
“Behave yourself my VE sister aka Mrs SIG ! I am going to tell Song Il Guk what you just said !”
AHA, but you CAN’T!! You’re my THERAPIST!! We got Dr/Patient confidentiality, baby!!
hee hee hee hee hee
@noi
I agree with you about Song Jongho not getting enough recognition. He is a good looker. He just needs a director to believe in him and give him a main lead. It’s not easy to be a 2nd lead usurper like Park Si Hoo where the script has to be re-written towards the end to let him take centre stage. For instance “How to meet a perfect neighbour”.
I hope Song Jong ho’s luck will change one day. He is not young anymore. Hard to fight off stiff competition from young K pop idols who have ventured into acting and gaining quick success.
@meolodynharmony
Is KSE the actress who looks a bit like Park Min Young but acted as Kim Bun’s girlfriend in Boys over Flowers? I like her as she is very sweet and will suit Chunnie.
Yes, she is the one who acted as KB’s GF. Since I saw her before PMY, I don’t see the similarity though many people say so. Haven’t watched any of her other dramas, but she has done a sageuk. Perhaps the reason why she has been approached as well as her being one of the upcoming actresses. I also prefer her to PSH who was a bit too cute for me in YAB (though I haven’t watched her other works).
“Hmmmm…. OCD and Senility…. a bad combination…”
@lilibaiyu
Naaah! If you are in love with Jae Joong, you gotta be a hot chick regardless whether you are a spring chicken or a mommy hen ! Opps! I shouldn’t be talking about BAFie !
@Hottie
“If you are in love with Jae Joong, you gotta be a hot chick regardless whether you are a spring chicken or a mommy hen !”
And make no mistake, I AM in love with Jaejoong. Among others.
