Another upcoming drama, "Extravagant Challenge," the drama adaptation of manga "Skip Beat," has gone through some casting change. It originally starred Ariel Lin alongisde Taiwanese celebrities Jerry Yan and Joe Cheng, but was later changed to Super Junior's Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae. After two years in development, the drama will recommence filming in the April, and it's female lead will now be Ivy Chen since Ariel Lin dropped the project, and co-starring alongside her will be the two Super Junior members.
Lastly, there is the Taiwanese adaptation of Japanese manga, "Absolute Boyfriend." This will be the second adaptation of the manga with the Japanese doing a drama adaptation of the manga in 2008 and 2009. The drama will star Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit's Wu Chun and Korean actress Goo Hye Sun. Back in October of last year, when Goo Hye Sun first visited Taiwan and met Wu Chun for introductions and a fan meet with her Taiwanese fans, she was asked, "Is Wu Chun more handsome than Lee Min Ho? (her co-star in Boys Over Flowers)" She immediately replied, "Yes!" and then this was followed up by a question of whether she thinks Lee Min Ho would be offended by her answer to which she answered, "I think he would be a bit sad".
On the set, the leads perform with their native languages. Goo Hye Sun says her lines in Korean and Wu Chun says his in Mandarin. Language barrier is quite a problem for them and the two disclosed they know when to say their lines based on each other's body language. But it doesn't work all the time.
The drama's production is currently on hold due to Wu Chun's schedule.
