Han Chae Young to play Hyun Joong's first love in Hana Yori Dango



Han Chae Young has been cast to play the role of Shizuka, Hyun Joong's character Rui's first love.

Shizuka is a law student in Paris as well as a stunning model and is the only daughter coming from the family owning the best law firm in Korea. In short, she can be seen to be perfect in every aspect. In the drama, Shizuka is the one person to bring Rui out of his autism and becomes an important factor in his life as well as his first love.

Thoughts:

So is is Han Chae Young after all, Muize. Hmmm.. She does seem a little too... mature for Hyun Joong though, but honestly, I think she would be able to carry the role of Shizuka pretty well. Another female role down, one more to go. I wonder who will be the older sister...
What do you guys think of Han Chae Young as Shizuka?

So the older sister role is not confirmed yet?? Wow..hope that it is hwangbo!! Her character does fit the role, but thus far from her past roles, I don't think she can act very well (no offense, love her as well)... But still hope she gets it, then they might have some scenes together and she can meet up with hj without the wgm camera on, and develop their feelings in reality..hehe

Hmmmm, Han Chae Young is a good actress and I think she fits the role of Shizuka , although every Joongboers really hope for Hb to get a role in HYD .... nevertheless, I hope HJ performs well in this drama ... I'm looking forward to seeing him act and play the violin ....

Thanks Chonsa for the updates !

Does anyone else feel that the actress in the picture looks a bit like HB? with the hair and everything? I don't exactly mean the looks or what but at a glance , i thought it was HB. WEll at least she is safe as she is married.

han chae young? look like hwangbo? and and....uwaaa, i'm having a lil headache here. i started reading that manga cuz two of my boys (HJx2) will be in it. and when i saw that Shizuka or sumthin'....oh, i gotta say Han Chae Young is really perfect for that role. i know everyone in here loves joongbo or maybe to be more exact...hwangbo....hahaha...but...iono. hmm..
don't get me wrong. i love her too...and i'd be dyingly happy if it's her in that role, but i don't see anything wrong with Han Chae Young in that role. she really is perfect for it. i can imagine her being shizuka.
of course, i'm being supportive, partly cuz i love han chae young n cuz she's married as well. hahaha. but to me, as long as it's not some annoying girl i hate, then anyone who fits the role would be fine.
thanks for the updates, chonsa.

Seriously, I think Hwangbo doesn't even need to act the role of the older sister becos she IS already. Don't you think her own character, demeanor and personality is practically a genetic match to the drama role? Maybe I exaggerated a wee bit... but a Joongboer can certainly hope, right?!? ;)

Ehm...this is a little weird. I thought that the casting for everyone was done already. Wasn't another actress was supposed to play this part before? DSP and HJ should have chosen a diff. drama for his "big" debut. Something original, not another remake. Hope for the best!

I'm extremely upset that HCY is Shizuka. HCY gives me the negative vibes. She's got this evil aura around her. I really think there's better actresses than her. I think Kim Taehee is a good candidate cause she does look smart and classy. But to me, Hwangbo should be casted instead. She's got the looks and everything.

i think they've chosen the actress for the older sister...

"In other casting news that’s confirmed, Han Go Eun will play Goo Joon Pyo’s (Lee Min Ho) sister while Han Chae Young has been confirmed in a cameo role as Yoon Ji Hoo’s (Kim Hyun Joong) first love. The 24 episodes Boy Before Flowers is likely to air just before 2008 ends in December on KBS2TV."

i personally don't really like Han Chae Young as Shizuka...I think she looks too old for HJ. But she is really pretty so i guess she fits the role!!

Thank you Chonsa for this latest dosage of news for our JoongBo! You're the best.

I'm still hoping that HB will get a role with HYD. Guys think about it positively, since Han Chae Young is already married, I'm thankful that she was casted as Shizuka. It will good for HJ/HB relationship. Don't you think?

Are they filming HYD yet? Since after the Everland filming, I have not heard of any more shooting for our JoongBos. Love them, crazy for them. Been playing their Thank you and Mature songs on my player everyday, continuously.

personally I like her as Shizuka. She has that pretty and distant feel that Shizuka had. Anyway, Shizuka is supposed to be older and mature than Rui. (That's why Rui likes her, cause she's always supporting Rui.) Afterall, she's the one who pulled Rui out of his autism. So she's got to be someone of strong character.

I like her but not as the role of Shizuka. I think the drama would have went sky rocket in ratings if it was HB.

Han Chae Young is a good pick for Shizuka. I saw pictures of her and she looks so much like the Japanese counterpart, and they both have an almost European look. And I'm not worried, she's already married anyway. xD

I hope hwangbo act the role of Shizuka because I want to see more skinship between Joongbo out of WGM programm
.Do you think like me?

I think it's good to have Han Chae Young play the role of Shizuka because she's married already. And I think Hyun Joong will remember when Hwangbo asked him who's prettier Shin Ae-ra or her. ;)
