Second series of popular Korean TV drama "Dae Jang
Geum" may indeed be coming true. Recently, manager of Lee Young-ae,
female lead of the drama, was involved in a case of swindle which
cheated production companies of 200million Korean won (about
S$220,000) in the name of "Dae Jang Geum 2". The manager
subsequently showed up and denied his involvement; instead he
claimed to be victim of the scam too. It was said then that there
were plans for a sequel to drama. However, according to latest
Korea reports, the production team is indeed discussing a sequel to
"Dae Jang Geum".
According to Korea's Money Today Star news, Lee who has not
acted for some time is seriously considering her return to the
screen via the drama "Dae Jang Geum 2". Production company A TOP
Media said they are currently in discussion with Lee to decide if
they should do part two of the successful drama, or start on
something fresh. Lee's manager also admitted to be currently
discussing this production and a decision will be made soon.
The success of "Dae Jang Geum" six years ago brought special
attention to its sequel, causing rumors to sprout and even bringing
about the scam. Should Lee return to the screen with "Dae Jang Geum
2", it will definitely become the hottest topic in town again.
