When the Phone Rings's ratings rise, The Tale of Lady Ok kicks off with a strong start
On June 25, Roh Yoon Seo and Nam Joo Hyuk's agencies issued official statements regarding the actors' casting in a new K-drama Donggung (literal title).
Actress Roh Yoon Seo's agency MAA told Newsen that "discussions are underway, but nothing has been confirmed."
A representative from Nam Joo Hyuk's agency, Management SOOP, told MyDaily, "Nam Joo Hyuk is considering appearing in the drama Donggung. Nothing has been confirmed."
Donggung tells the story of various ghosts appearing in a palace full of deep secrets, and to resolve this, a ghost slayer and a court lady secretly infiltrate the place.
Nam Joo Hyuk has been offered the role of Goo Chun, an arrogant ghost slayer who can transform into a ghost and kill ghosts with a sword.
If Nam Joo Hyuk confirms his casting in Donggung, it will be his first project after being discharged from his military service. The actor enlisted on March 20 last year and is serving his mandatory military duty in the Military Police Unit's Task Force. He is scheduled to be discharged on September 19.
