I think that this drama will be able to be a big hit due to Ara. I'm really glad because the drama has become very fresh and entertaining."

Good for him, though I was anticipating the Heaven's Postman first, I'm looking forward to Yunho oppa's performance. Anyway, not much of a fan of Go Ara though. Why can't it be Kim Soeun?
|
|
|
So Heaven's Postman is airing after Yunho's drama starts?
I don't even know who Go Ara is! o.0 I'll just say I'm jealous that she gets to be Yunho's lover..=( |
|
|
No, think the Heaven's Postman airs first. I meant now I'm looking forward to Yunho's performance more (since I like him better than Jaejoong)...Go Ara is not that beautiful anyway. I want Kim Soeun!!!

U-Know Yunho continues to work hard for drama
TVXQ's U-Know Yunho has been attracting attention by continuing on with filming for his drama even though the future of his group might be at stake. U-Know Yunho was cast for his acting debut on MBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Heading to the Ground' (Director Park Sungsoo, Writers Kim Solji, Kim Yehji) and began filming on the 28th last month. During the past week, TVXQ's members YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request against SM Entertainment and the rift between the two sides have gotten deeper as time passes. However, this has not stopped U-Know Yunho from taking his lead role seriously and contunuing with the filming for the drama.

U-Know Yunho, TOP… Popular As Can Be
In some drama filming locations these days, there is something of more important than finishing a high-quality scenes. It is the ‘Star Protection’ of the lead roles. From top stars who are making a comeback to dramas from movies to popular idol group members, most of these stars are taking on lead roles in dramas and every time they go outside to film, the streets end up being clogged up with fans and neighborhood people hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars. The reason staff are so focused on protecting the stars is because the fans who come to the locations do more than come to support their favorite celebrity. The fans come as many as 200 at a time and not only does this interfere with filming, it also affects the other actors there as well. The filming crew with the biggest problem regarding fans who visit the filming location is crew of MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Heading to the Ground’ that stars popular idol group TVXQ’s member U-Know Yunho. As three members of TVXQ are having a dispute over their exclusive contract with their agency, fans come on location to support TVXQ as well as to see U-Know Yunho’s transformation from a singer to an actor. One representative of ‘Heading to the Ground’ said, “The fans are interfering the filming process by screaming and shouting out loud every time U-Know Yunho does even the smallest action on location. We’re filming small scenes for a couple of episodes but our first episode airs on September 9th and we still haven’t completed filming the entire first episode.” He also said, “There’s the problem with the lawsuit, and we heard that the fans are usually very passionate, so we are protecting U-Know Yunho with one manager and one bodyguard constantly at his side,” and also pleaded to the fans by saying, “Please help U-Know Yunho and all the other actors concentrate on their scenes.” The same goes for KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Iris’ that stars Lee Byunghun and Kim Taehui. Since there are these two famous ‘Hallyu Stars’, as well as popular idol group Big Bang’s TOP, there are always lots of fans on location. The main filming location for this drama is an arts centre in Seoul Songpa-goo Moonjung-dong. A rumor that ‘If you go there, you can see Lee Byunghun and Kim Taehui’ has already spread and has resulted in countless fans and neighborhood people visiting the building. On representative said, “To give the stars presents and to get a glimpse of the stars’ faces, we have at least 50 fans who visit a day. We cannot stop them from coming to give their support, but we would like it if they could cooperate and let the actors do their jobs,” and “Also, we’ve closed off the entrances to the building but fans swarm around the entrance where cars go in and out and we fear there might be an accident soon if fans aren’t careful.” This was also the case during the hit drama ‘Boys Before Flowers’ early this year. Since the ‘F4′ members, Lee Minho, Kim Hyunjoong, Kim Bum, and Kim Jun, received explosive popularity, the staff had a hard time dealing with fans who visited on location. They were only able to finish filming by using guerrilla tactics such as changing scenes that were supposed to be filmed outdoors to scenes filmed indoors or taking the least amount of people needed and secretly and quickly finishing scenes Source: [sports donga+Yuaerubi] Translations: jeeelim5@tohosomnia Posted by: minsarang@wordpress ============================ U-Know Yunho, “I Feel Good About Our First Filming For The Drama” TVXQ member U-Know Yunho, who will be acting under his real name Jung Yunho, shared his feelings about his first drama shoot.

On July 28th, Jung Yunho began filming for the first episode at Gangnam Sangsoo-dong by acting as Cha Bong-goon talking with his neighborhood, long-time friend Oh Yeoni (Lee Yoonji). Jung Yunho checked and refined each and every one of his actions and lines and practiced his lines every chance he had. He showed his passion eagerness for his role by asking the staff whether his interpretation of the character was fitting. Bong-goon is a character who has a playful and ever-changing personality. During this particular filming, Bong-goon’s character required many facial expressions such as suddenly smiling for no reason or scrunching one’s face up in anger. Jung Yunho, who acted out each expression naturally, said, “Bong-goong’s character has the best personality,” and asked the staff questions such as, “Was my scene funny? Did it come out well?” and showed his satisfaction for a successful first shoot that ended in a comfortable and fun atmosphere. Jung Yunho, who said he had to work out very hard for his role, said, “I’m having so much fun playing the character of Cha Bong-goon I feel good about the first filming for our drama.” ‘Heading to the Ground’ is a love story that results from the misunderstandings that arise between passionate yet unlucky Bong-goon and Kang Haebin (played by Ara), a girl who has everything but wishes to succeed on her own. It is also a Humanism drama that touches upon Cha Bong-goon’s will to live even though he had lived through three near-death experiences. The first episode airs on September 9th.
