Seoul — Sooyoung from Girls’ Generation is in talks along with Ji Chang Wook for a new drama.
An insider reported on Sept 1 that Sooyoung will be acting as the female lead in the upcoming drama Tell Me Your Wish (literal title).
In response to the reports, the actress’s agency Saram Entertainment clarified, “[Sooyoung] received a casting offer for ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ and is currently reviewing [the offer].”
The drama tells the story about people who have hopes of “dying well”. It will tell stories of the salvation that happens in the hospice ward and saving “adult children” who have fallen into chaos together.
Seo Yeon Joo will be played by Sooyoung, and she is an icon of vitality and a health-obsessed nurse, according to Soompi.
Back in Jul, it was reported that Ji Chang Wook is in talks to play the male lead Yoon Gye Re, a man running away from death.
“Tell Me Your Wish” will be directed by Kim Yong Wan of “The Cursed.” The programming is under discussion, and the drama will be filmed in the second half of the year.
