Girls' Generation's Seohyun may be joining the cast of Netflix's upcoming original drama “Thief: Sound of the Sword” (literal translation)!
On January 27, industry representatives reported that Seohyun is confirmed to play the female lead in “Thief: Sound of the Sword.” In response to the report, a source from Seohyun's agency Namoo Actors stated, “She received an offer to star in 'Thief: Sound of the Sword,' and is reviewing the offer.”
Having impressed with her previous roles in “Personal Life,” “Time,” and “Hello Dracula,” Seohyun is currently busy working on projects like “The Jinx's Lover” (literal title) and the upcoming movie “Love and Leashes.”
“Thief: Sound of the Sword” is set in 1920, where people launch a fierce defiance of those who have driven them from their homes to protect their land, family, and comrades. Through fictional characters, the story of defeat will become a story of victory. The project has already gained a lot of attention for dealing with the theme of the Korean independence movement, as well as having an estimated production cost of 30 billion won (approximately $25 million).
In October, it was revealed that Kim Nam Gil is in talks to play the lead role of Lee Yoon, a slave who never learned anything or had the opportunity to do so. Although he abolished the class system and became a free man, he still has the mentality of a slave. His former teacher suggested that he become a soldier, so he does exactly that and ends up getting involved in a war.
Lee Ho Jung’s agency YG Entertainment also revealed last December that the actress is positively reviewing an offer to star in “Thief: Sound of the Sword.” If she accepts the role, she will play Eon Nyeon, who is the daughter of a tenant farmer. She is a figure who wields a gun to take revenge on the person who killed her parents. The actress previously starred in the movies "Midnight Runners" and "The Battle of Jangsari," as well as the drama "Nevertheless."
Furthermore, various media outlets reported last year in October that Lee Yoo Young, Lee Hyun Wook, and Yoo Jae Myung are also in talks for the show. Lee Yoo Young is reportedly in talks to play Nam Hee Shin, an independence activist disguised as a member of the pro-Japanese faction. After witnessing the brutality of Japanese imperialism, she becomes a figure in support of the independence movement. The actress was previously confirmed to star in the upcoming JTBC drama “Insider” with Kang Ha Neul and the movie “Firefighter.”
Yoo Jae Myung is also reportedly in talks to take on the role of General of the Just Army (informal civilian militias) of the Honam area. He is a tragic figure who took an active role in the fighting, but his family and comrades were massacred as part of the Japanese Empire's subjugation strategy for South Korea. The actor previously starred in “Reply 1988,” “Vincenzo,” “Itaewon Class,” “Voice of Silence,” and more.
Lee Hyun Wook, who is also reportedly in talks for the drama, has wowed viewers in numerous projects including “Strangers From Hell,” “The Good Detective,” “Search,” “She Would Never Know,” and “Mine.” .
“Thief: Sound of the Sword” will begin filming this year after finishing pre-production work. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming drama!
