news about THE MUSICAL


a very tiny reference to it in this article dated Jan 6 2011.

http://news.hankooki.com/lpage/culture/201101/h20110106104003111780.htm



This article from HanKookIlbo (Korea Daily News) writes about a 34yo actor named Oh JungSeh who seems to be an actor of diverse talents--able to do comedy, drama, thriller, etc.

오정세는 신년 구혜선, 최다니엘 등과 함께 출연하는 드라마 '더 뮤지컬'과 임창정과 호흡을 맞추는 느와르 영화 '창수'로 안방극장과 극장가를 종횡무진 누빌 예정이다.
At the very end of this long article, the excerpt says that he will work with GHS and Choi Daniel in the drama The MUSICAL this new year. He is also doing a noir movie called CHANGSOO.

Another article that seems to list dramas planned by all the TV stations in Korea.
Does not look good for THE MUSICAL at all.

이밖에 ‘태왕사신기’의 김종학 감독과 톱스타 김희선이 참여하는 의학사극 ‘신의’는 아직 방송사 편성은 되지 않았지만 올해 방영을 목표로 하고 있다. 또 구혜선, 옥주현 주연의 ‘더 뮤지컬’, 빅뱅 대성의 연기 데뷔작이자 ‘모래시계’ 송지나 작가가 집필을 맡은 ‘왓츠 업’ 등 뮤지컬을 소재로 한 음악 드라마가 올해 방영을 목표로 제작 중이다. 이 많은 화제작들 중에서 시청자들은 어떤 드라마에 채널을 고정시킬까.

Again, THE MUSICAL is mentioned very briefly at the end of a long article. It just says that it is in the process of being made/produced. All the Korean stations seem filled with dramas already. I feel bad that THE MUSICAL may be up against another musical drama WHAT'S UP and it is written by a famous writer who wrote for MoRaeShiGe, which I heard was extremely popular when it played. THE MUSICAL may come out but I am very worried now as to what kind of drama it will be--whether it will be well-received or even bomb.



Thanks Sue @soompi for the translation :)
