Lady Castle’s Cast Attracts Attention

*Jung Il Woo, Yoon Eun Hye, and Yoon Sang Hyun have been confirmed as leads for the upcoming drama, Lady Castle.

Yoon will play Noh Yu Ra, the second of three sisters in a rich household. A love story develops when a poor man – played by Yoon Sang Hyun – becomes the family’s household manager with the intention of getting his hands on the family’s hidden slush fund. Jung Il Woo will compete for Yu Ra’s attentions as the scion of a noble family.

Child actor Wang Seok Hyun (Speed Scandal) has also been cast and will make his drama debut in Lady Castle. He will play Yu Ra’s wealthy younger cousin.

The romantic-comedic drama is being written by Yoon Eun Kyung and Kim Eun Hee, who have previously collaborated on Sweet 18. Ji Young Soo, the PD behind Flowers For My Life, will direct. According to KBS, filming will begin mid-July for the program to be broadcast starting on August 19 (following the end of Partner).

Yoon Sang-hyun storms the Lady Castle

Queen of Housewives hottie Yoon Sang-hyun (the “thirtysomething Gu Jun-pyo”) has scored big with his follow-up project: acting opposite Yoon Eun-hye in the upcoming romantic comedy series Lady Castle.

Yoon Sang-hyun is a last-minute hire; he met with producers on June 23 and after coming to an agreement, they are heading into final contract negotiations. As soon as those are finalized, he’ll enter into filming immediately. He had actually been a strong contender to head Magazine Allo — which would have also been hunky-dory with me — but because of the plagiarism accusations and subsequent scheduling delays, he chose Lady Castle. (Maybe that’s why Magazine Allo producers were particularly peeved with Style for ruining their production.)

The story of Lady Castle situates Yoon Eun-hye as as the “princess-like” middle daughter in a rich household. She crosses paths with a poor man who becomes the household manager (who secretly aims to get at the family’s hidden slush fund), and is involved in a love triangle with him and a rich man from an aristocratic family. Yoon Sang-hyun is currently in discussions over which of these two characters he will play. (Just as long as he doesn’t pull a Kwon Sang-woo and play them both!)

Writers are Yoon Eun-kyung and Kim Eun-hee (When Night Comes, Winter Sonata — meh); director is PD Ji Young-soo (Flowers For My Life — yes!).

Lady Castle will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays on KBS after Partner ends at the end of August.
