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?
