On the latest episode of KBS Shin Dong-yup and Shin Bong-sun's Champagne, it was revealed that Jang Geun Suk turned down an offer to play the rich meanie Goo Joon Pyo in the hit drama series Boys Over Flowers!
Jang Geun Suk explained that, as he was looking at potential projects, the two dramas that really caught his eye were Beethoven Virus and Boys Over Flowers. He wanted to do both but felt that Beethoven Virus had more to offer as a learning experience since many senior actors would be appearing on the show. With that in mind, he got a role in Beethoven Virus, and the role of Goo Joon Pyo eventually went to Lee Minho.
Jang Geun Suk seems to have no regrets, and said that Lee Minho portrayed the character well and that, if Jang Geun Suk had taken on the role, it might not have been as good. Perhaps Jang saw the success of Boys Over Flowers and decided to make it up by starring in You're Beautiful, another show with a large teen fan base.
~for me, Jang Geun Seuk’s decision in turning down BOF was a good choice. He learned a lot from the drama Beethoven Virus which made him into a better actor as we could see in his latest achievement in the recently ended drama You’re Beautiful. He indeed showed us how he had grown a lot. But imagining him as the lead in BOF…hmmm…I think he might have actually done it well enough. Oh well, Lee MinHo is okay… XD
