Asia Prince JKS To Come Back on Television as ‘Pretty Boy’

It's been a long while since Jang Geun Suk's last TV drama has ended, and despite all his consistently successful tours, concerts, and album releases that followed, well, let's admit it, eels. We miss the Hwang Tae Kyung, Seo In-Ha, and Kang Mu-Kyul side of Geun Suk Oppa. 

Well, good news, for our longings will soon be over! Rejoice, and rejoice more, for the ever charming and captivating actor side of our Sukkie will be coming back very soon to our televisions through the most anticipated new drama entitled "Pretty Boy". The drama is expected to be released in the latter half of 2013.

Keun-chan is going to portray the role of Dokgo Matte, the man with the prettiest face in all the world. It's really going to be a big leap towards his becoming the official world prince, wouldn't you agree? And as sure as you are reading these words right now, millions of eels all over the globe sure are looking forward to being with the Prince once more, if only in the small screen.

The drama will be produced by Group Eight who was also one behind the success of some popular idol dramas such as "Princess Hours" and "Boys over Flowers" to name a few. The drama script is going be penned by the hit screen writer Yoo Young Ah whose previous works include movies like "Korea" and "Miracle in Cell No.7".
Group Eight revealed:

“From the initial planning, we had already zeroed in on Jang Geun Suk to lead the drama. To raise the production quality, we have also met with Jang Geun Suk for discussions on many occasions. Jang Geun Suk has already been in the acting business for 21 years, and he will be showing his experienced acting ability through his role as Dokgo Matte.

We have already received many phone calls regarding broadcast rights for ‘Pretty Boy’ from countries in Asia, Europe, and South America"," the production team also expressed. This goes to show that the drama is being looked upon favourably overseas prior to broadcast. The storyline of the drama will be sticking closely to the original comic series, so please look forward to it.”

Pretty Boy is based on a popular comic book series penned by Chun Gi Young. It is a story of the prettiest boy on Earth who was torn apart from his family for many years, his struggle to find them again, his experiences with true love, and his adventures around teenage girls whose hearts were captivated by his unique charms. As for me, I'm still in love with Hwang Tae Kyung, but I'm also looking forward to be won over by Dokgo Matte this time.

If you're a certified eel, surely, you are as excited as I am right now. Feel free to share your thoughts below. ^_^
