BTS Jin's high-earning K-drama co-star shares another similarity with him: their chosen role model.
In an exciting turn of events, Park Bo-Gum and Kim Nam-Gil have been announced as the leading stars of the upcoming historical film, "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land". The movie, based on a masterful artwork from the Joseon Dynasty, promises to delve into the lives of two princes amidst political tensions and brotherly conflict.
The plot revolves around a dream journey to a utopian land, inspired by Prince Anpyeong, as depicted in a famous Joseon-era painting by An Gyeon. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Gyeyu Coup in 1453 during King Sejong's reign, promising a gripping portrayal of the political landscape of the time.
Park Bo-Gum will play the role of Prince Anpyeong, while Kim Nam-Gil is reported to portray Prince Suyang. This upcoming film marks a reunion of sorts for the two actors, who share a decade-long friendship that began when they both served as MCs on "Music Bank".
Kim Nam-Gil, known for his role in "Fiery Priest", is no stranger to historical dramas, and his portrayal of Prince Suyang is eagerly anticipated. The release date and further production details for "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" have yet to be revealed.
Park Bo Gum, one of the highest paid K-drama celebrities, has recently starred in Netflix's When Life Gives You Tangerines and JTBC's Good Boy. His role in "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" is likely to add another feather to his cap.
While there is no direct mention of BTS being involved in this historical film, it is worth noting that both Park Bo Gum and Kim Nam Gil are friends of BTS members Jin and V, respectively. However, there appears to be no connection between BTS and "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" at this time.
The film will be helmed by Jang Hoon, the director of the Song Kang Ho-starrer A Taxi Driver. With such a talented cast and crew, "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" promises to be a captivating addition to the world of historical Korean cinema.
Stay tuned for more updates on the release date and further production details for "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land".
