Since our first coverage on Hero Jae Joong’s foray into leading actor territory, scripts have been finalized and passed out to the cast members. It was recently confirmed that “Iljimae” and “Spring Waltz’s” Han Hyo Joo will be stepping in for the female lead in “천국의 우편 배달부 (Heaven’s Postal Delivery Man)”.
From now till the commencement of shooting in early November, Jae Joong will have to juggle his “Mirotic” promotions as well as take on those lines. Han Hyo Joo has also received her script and is busy with preparations.
As well as confirmations on the male and female leads, more info’s been given on the production team of this telecinema project. While Lee Hyung Min (of “I’m Sorry I Love You” and “Snow Flower” fame) from the Korean end directs, famous Japanese screenwriter Eriko Kitagawa (credits include “Beautiful Life”, “Long Vacation” and “One Million Stars Falling From The Sky”) will do what she does best. Also, this Korean-Japanese project is said to make up 7 episodes of different stories, with Jae Joong and Hyo Joo’s being the first. The telly version will last up to 60mins and the cinema version 120mins. Great way to rake in the dollars and keep Cassiopeias captivated.
News of this telecinema has been driving fans crazy. While you take in all this and await it’s official airing in May 2009 (SBS), there must be mixed reactions towards choice of female lead. Anyone/Cassies care to share their thoughts?

I AM FIRST GUNDAM!!!!!!!! Ore Wa First GUNDAM!!!!

Can’t wait for it.
Can he act? I am a screenwriter and hate to see a good script ruined by bad acting. Other than that he’s cute so I’ll watch it…
the scriptwriter said when he just started writing the script, he already planned to have a TVXQ member be the lead role, and jaejoong stood out to him so he picked him. Jaejoong himself was surprised to hear that he got picked out of the 5 of them. They rehearsed the script 7 times already.”
Lol I think shes perfect to be the leading female.Korean cassies are actually happy shes the lead role O_o Cause shes so pretty and they say that they make a good match.
im not a cassie, i guess.. hahaha. i love jaejoong to death.omigosh. he’s a fine piece of art.
anyway, i’ve heard that jaejoong and hyo joo had already practice with each other for 7 times and hyo joo said that jaejoong seemed “unnatural”.
the producer said that the kissing scene will be on the beach or something like that with either one of them say,”i want to kiss you” then they kiss. what the heck?!?!
omigoshhh, nooooooooooooooooo!! andweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
im so not ready to watch it! but of course i will watch it because of jaejoong..maybe i will turn my head when he kisses her. hahahha. my jaejoong finally will kiss a girl on screen! God knows how many NGs he/she will make. hiks. he always laughs and giggles when the situation is awkward. please do it with just one take.hahahahahaha.
na oppa sranghae
Cassies would surely support the drama,,,considering that it is the first MAJOR acting job for a TVXQ member ^___^ i hope jaejoong would not be too much pressured, as it will affect his performance. Just like in terms of singing,,,i hope his acting abilities improve a lot too ^____^
OEMGEE!!
can’t wait to see it!!
LOL
my friend told me on Fri dat they haff to kiss on screen~~ n i was lyk O_O
evn though I’m a cassie, i won’t anti HHJ coz i’m a fan of her!!hehe
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MAN! B1TCH!!!!
old news but it’s good.. ’cause hhj is just really damn gorgeous. thank god it’s not some average unknown girl like from hyunjoong’s drama.
Han Hyo Joo is beautiful and a wonderful actress, so I’m hoping she helps Jae out with everything.
If there’s a kiss scene, I hope it’s good. :]
(Jaejoong fans should chill. A kiss is a kiss. It’s not like this will suddenly make them fall in love or something. You don’t own him, so please don’t claim he’s yours and all that crap. -_-;)
i hope she doesnt get stupid comments. and if she does, she doesnt get offended by them and go into deep depression
As ployy has stated, it was the dame of JDrama’s creative content herself who recommended Jae. She wrote the role with him in mind.
Dink, I believe what HHJ said was that Jae is a ‘natural’ actor.
A majority of Cassies are actually supportive of this cinematic match.
Thank you for the article.
both gorgeous but stiff acting on HHJ’s part and unchanging expression on KJJ’s part. hopefully both can pull it off [and hey this is coming from a KJJ's fan!] but i guess KJJ and SM accepted the role since the scriptwriter actually wanted him in it.
i cant wait to see it~~!
ahhaha
Jaejoong oppa…Fighting….
i’m honestly not a big fan of han hyo joo..
i kind of don’t like her…
why can’t it be lee yeon hee or koh ara?
anyways i’ll still watch it…
hope he trained hard to act cause..well..
finally! a kiss!
i actually rate someone as a good kisser if he makes it look good on screen(try mike he!)…make that kiss count JJ!
it’s your time to show your ‘namjaness’!
@ least you don’t have to shout out you watch porn to prove it now!
LOL!
JJ oppa hwaiting!
wah…I’m extremely in love with Jae…like IN LOVE…lols…
but really guys…it’s Han Hyo Joo…you just don’t know how happy that made me…she already had romance with my lovely Lee Jun Ki now with Jae…I’m just happy…lols…
@dink…what do you mean unnatural? In acting? then, bad acting?…lols….
lucky girl… i envy her so much… T-T
anyway, TVXQ fighting!
I think the article just make a headline that HHJ called JJ unnatural to catch people attention. If you read through the article she said, because they only meet a few time so they feel awkward with each other and their relationship still ‘unnatural’.
I think the kiss will just so..so.. I’m not impress with HHJ kiss scene so far.
JJ fighting!!!!!!!
i only hope jaejoongs acting holds up to the script. woman can write some good shit….dont screw it up jae.
that aside…i love hyo joo so thumbs up on the love interest. can’t wait….GYAH!
I love Han Hyo Joo, she’s awesome.
Don’t care who female lead is, as long as girl’s got some acting talent. Can’t wait to see this!!
DBSK fans are respectful and excited about Han Hyo Joo as Jaejoong’s female lead. This looks like a great match.
Don’t expect our Jae to be a fantastic actor. Remember, he’s still a beginnner so please don’t be so harsh!
The ratings will surely go through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder why DBSK fans like Han hyo joo around DBSK but not SNSD. lol I guess because snsd is all prettier than her and more talented.
jealous retards. I hate dbsk fans now.
so is this a lesbian based drama??
XD
hahah couldnt help myself
jae is not the best actor nor the worst (cough changmin cough) but… i wanna see it~! hwaiting!
i wonder if yunho will get jealous of her ….hmmm.
Lmao Han hyo joo acting alongside some little boy band girly looking “guy”?
What an insult.
@SoNyeo
Maybe because HAN HYO JOO ISN’T A SLUT LIKE EVERYONE IN SNSD!
LMAO and no one cares if you hate us because clearly we HATE YOU AND SNSD. LOL!
weirdo.
i hate myself…i don’t wanna see jj wit anyone else beside..yunho..OMFG..i m crazyyyyyyy…i knw…my heart hurts whenever i think abt this movieeeeee!! i m totally stupidddddddddddd!! can’t standdddddddddddd it !!!
@SoNyeo:
I don’t care much for SNSD nor DBSK, but don’t you dare insult Han Hyo Joo - who you don’t even know much about!
It seems to me that you’re jealous that DBSK fans like her better than your precious SNSD - which is STUPID! So if you want to call anyone a ‘jealous retard’ then you better look in the mirror.
And to say that SNSD is prettier and more talented than HHJ (and they’re not even in the same entertainment profession?), is even more ignorant. Plus, I doubt all DBSK fans dislike SNSD, so another stupid thing you’re doing is generalizing. And ANOTHER stupid thing you’re doing is ‘hating’ on a group of fans just because they dislike your favorite group.
Wow, so—who’s the retard???
awkward~
Hmm. Though I think that Hyojoo is very beautiful and talented, I think they should’ve gotten someone more feminine to make Jae Joong seem a bit more manly. I’m real excited about the whole thing though. Should be quite interesting. Jae Joong wasn’t half bad (nor was he half good. x]) on his previous acting gigs so I want to see how he’ll do with this one. I personally think that Yunho’s the best actor in TVXQ, but hey…
&@ SoNyeo:
You’re wondering why TVXQ fans hate SNSD? Maybe it’s because of SNSD fans like you.
im a cassie (: but uhm … i like her as a actress so im okay and its only acting and hehehe hes soo cute im happy he has a lead
but uhm yeah im content with the girl choice lucky her though first jun ki now him haha that hoebag.
Lmao @ ???.
oh watev, they are both pretty and I guess the script writer is a fan of Jae’s. I LOVE Jae to the max. But I guess it’s his ‘unusual’ character that attracted her and moi of course. I have high hopes for this drama. Although I don’t want to raise it too high, cuz the last time i saw him in a drama, man…..
first point - Jaejoong can’t act, he can only sing and dance
second point - Why did they pick Jaejoong? The most beautiful female leads will be outshone by his prettiness
LOLOL, right elec? People should be scared about marrying him, only because people might say that the groom looked prettier than the bride. *_*
@ SoNyeo:
Haha. Not true. I like DBSK and I like TaeYeon. I was all for that Xiah+TaeYeon thing a little while back. -fistpump-
I’m still not looking forward to Jaejoong’s acting. Even if the director said he improved significantly. xD
I’m watching this for the skinship, the eyecandy, and the kiss. 8D
Hyojoo isn’t bad for this at all, I actually love that she’s the lead. But if this were Yeonhee, I would’ve died a wonderful death. 8D I love those two together.
ahhh i actually dont mind Jae’s acting…of course i’m completely biased ^^ but i’m sure he wont disappoint us!
i’m not familiar with HHJ but i did love Jae with BaeSeulGi in their banjun (not sure how Cassies reacted back then) but i wish SeulGi was given the lead, ah well, i look forward to watching this though…JJ FIGHTING!!

PLZ PLZ PLZ GOD
NO KISSING SCENE
ILL SUICIDE
I’m a Cassie (and a def. Jaejoong fan) but I don’t get why they’ll get so worked up about it. It’s just acting! Gooosh, anyways, if you were in that girl’s place I’m sure you’d LOVE to be her XD
I can’t wait to watch! I don’t care if people are saying that Jaejoog’s acting sucks. I’ll be captivated by his voice and looks alone XD
I just can’t wait to see JJ’s improved acting skills, though I’ll probably be too buzy paying attention to other things, like his body and his face than his acting. As long as they don’t suck out each other’s soul on that kissing scene…and even if they do, I’ll just sit there and whine why can’t it be me instead of her lol
her outfit’s cute!!
This news is getting a lot of postive response from DBSK fans. Plus, it’s HHJ she’s gorgeous and talented.
Why do people bring up SNSD EVERYTIME? Sorry to say but bringing them up is not gonna make people like them more.
@SoNyeo:
could you please just stop bringin’ SNSD here?
you’re not making it any better for them..
if anything i think you’re really an anti and you just use their names just so people would hate them more! i don’t like HHJ either but that doesn’t mean she’s a bad actress…stop putting people down using SNSD’s name cause it’s not just you getting hated but also them..think about that if you’re a real fan..
@ DAPHNE:
i should hate you bout the lesbian thing..
cause i’m a big JJ fan
but the thing is..
i considered that for a moment!LOL!
and i agree about changmin…
damn,her cousin’s gonna get me for that!
hearts breaking..
tears faling..
girls whining..
let’s just be happy for JJ…
it’s just a drama anyway..
YunJae/JaeHo might be cute
but really now..
i’m not hoping for that to really happen..
han hyo joo is nice
han hyo joo is nice
ive seen her in nonstop with tablo before : )
i love jaejoong!!
i can’t help but watch the drama though!!
JAEJOONG OPPA FIGHTING!!! <3
as long as it’s not Xiah Junsu,
i don’t care too much…hahaha…
i love all TVXQ boys, but i love junsu very much…
good luck for jaejoong…^^
i know it s just for acting,..
but still,..
T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T
lucky cow lmao
Can’t wait for this!! But I am disappointed at the choice of Han Jyo Joo. I’m sure she’s a good actress but couldn’t they find someone more beautiful and stunning to star opposite Jaejoong? JJ is not called “visual shock” for nothing. The couple just looks odd and mismatched, IMHO.
I don’t know where Han Hyo Joo would rank in terms of looks compared to other korean starlets, she’s just not pretty enough. Sorry, she’s really au naturel, so I give her credit for it but her teeth… omg. Ok shall stop ranting, guess the decision is final. sigh.
Hwaiting! Hope JJ gets the most screentime!
han hyo joo is awesome!
@mizawa….i’s smells a hater…..
he can N-O-T act! ~_~
i don’t think Hero can act….the majority of times i saw hero during perf or interviews, he gives off a blank expression..even when he sings, he can express the song really well in terms of emotions and facial expressions…
i mean can’t express the song really well in terms of emotions and facial expressions
heh, as much as i love him, i don’t think this guy can act very well when i watched him in the banjun dramas. it feels so awkward watching him act at the time. he has a great personality on stage, but he cannot act. but who knows? it has been a few years and he might’ve improved since then.
He looks like a girl.
Won’t that look akward? The kiss scene, I mean they’re both pretty…but I guess, since he’s like an ‘angel’ or heaven’s postman, w/e.
Well, I will still anticipate for this drama.
ahh noooooo …. i dont want jaejoong and han hyo joo to kiss. ( i want jaejoong and boa to XD) anyways… i dont really like han hyo joo to start and now she has to kiss.. jaejoong…( NOOOOO) ….. am i the only one to dislike her..cuz a lot of people like this coupling…maybe i should leave before someone kills me ….* runs away*
