F.T. Island Lee Hong Gi Casted for Leading Role in Master of Study

F.T. Island’s Lee Hong Gi has been casted for SBS “Master of Study” idol drama scheduled for broadcast in the Mon-Tue timeslot after the conclusion of “Tazza” expected in December. This is SBS’s answer to KBS idol drama “Boys over Flowers” scheduled for broadcast in end December. Exactly how will the idols fare against the incumbent star-studded “East of Eden” remains to be seen.

^ haha he looks cute there! XD

“Master of Study” is adapted from a popular Japanese manga “Dragon Zakura” and talks of how students with the worst grades gets into Seoul University and their study process. Filming will begin at the end of this month with a broadcast date of 1st December if everything goes as scheduled.

I am wondering if Korean scriptwriters have run out of ideas...both Boys Over Flowers and Master of Study are adapted from Japanese manga! Seems like it will not just be idol vs. idol showdown, but for K and J drama fans, there will definitely be comparisons made between the Japanese version and Korean versions of both dramas. Why do I get the feeling that the Korean versions might be slightly long winded compared to the Japanese versions....>.<

According to one production staff from “Master of Study” today, they are now discussing over the final details with Lee Hong Gi over his involvement. Other cast members will be announced in the next couple of days. Lee Hong Gi’s involvement is more or less confirmed with details to be ironed out.
