According to media outlets, actor Jung Woo Sung is set to make a comeback with the new film, Sal Saeng Bu (working title). He is in talks to play the role of Han Myeong Hoe.
The move is set during the Coup of 1453 led by Prince Suyang, and is to be directed by Kim Hong Sun.
However, the recent film, The King’s Warden, which attracted over 16 million viewers, received much attention for actor Yoo Ji Tae’s role of Han Myeong Hoe.
As a result, most K-Netizens responded negatively to the news.

- “Jung Woo Sung? For the role of Han Myeong Hoe? Did they not have another actor? Why?”
- “Practice your acting, ajussi.”
- “Similar movies are coming out endlessly ever since ‘The King’s Warden’ success.”
- “Stop using the same storyline…seeing Yoo Ji Tae show off a refreshing new image was enough.”
- “Why would you use him if he can’t act? His diction sucks, too. How is he going to pull a traditional style film?”
