Jung Il Woo joining Yoon Eun Hye for Lady Castle

Some might have be a little disappointed with Yoon Sang Hyun joining Lady Castle, which will be Yoon Eun Hye's comeback drama in 2 years. Fret not, for it was announced just this afternoon in Korea that Jung Il Woo, last seen in The Return of Iljimae earlier this year, could be joining Lady Castle to offer more eye candy for the girls.

According to Lee Kim Productions, they are now in advanced talks with Jung Il Woo's management, Star K Entertainment and the possibility of him joining is very high. Once it's confirmed, filming for Lady Castle would then begin in mid July.

Lady Castle is a romantic comedy that sees a guy become a housekeeper and has an eye on the rich family’s hidden slush fund. He develops a love triangle with the family's 3 daughters, 1 of which is played by Yoon Eun Hye. Jung Il Woo is likely to be involved in a love triangle with Yoon Sang Hyun and Yoon Eun Hye if everything goes well.

Lady Castle is currently set for a 19th August premiere on KBS2TV, taking over the spot vacated by Partners in the Wed-Thus timeslot. Competing dramas in the same timeslot are SBS's Swallow the Sun and MBC's horror drama, Soul.
