I’ve heard about this news about almost a month ago, but nothing was set yet. Apparently, they’re still forgoing with this and Kim Hyun Joong is on-board.

Kim Hyun Joong and Su Ae to star in Korean remake of “Kimi wa petto”
SS501 leader, Kim Hyun Joong will soon take on the lead debut of being an actor, according to his management source on Monday. The production team has apparently picked him up as the lead to cast in Korean remake drama of “You’re my pet” (Kimi wa petto), opposite of lead actress Su Ae. The drama will be directed by film director Kim Byung Gon.
“Kimi wa petto” is a Japanese TV series on TBS back in 2003, and based on an original comic series by Yayoi Ogawa. The drama is about an unexpected love between a successful, smart and good-looking fashion magazine editor (played by Su Ae) and a handsome guy (Kim Hyun Joong) who is adopted as a pet to the successful woman.
According to a rep from Kim’s agency, DSP Media, “We haven’t completely finished working on the contract but we’ll be done by the end of this week.”
As a member of the popular five-member K-pop band, Kim Hyun Joong as the leader has debuted earlier this year through KBS hit drama “Boys Over Flowers.” Let’s hope that his debut acting through “Kimi wa petto” will prove to his fans that he has been preparing himself (with acting lessons) for this role.
I have seen only the first few minutes of the Japanese dorama, but didn’t like it. To me it seems weird, calling someone, a human being as your ‘pet’. But I do hope the Korean one will make me want to see the original.
