Drama Bite #1: Ko Gun-han is set to join MBC's spring broadcast "Special Labor Inspector, Mr. Jo" as Kim Seon-woo, a character who is reportedly quite different from any other that the actor has previously tackled. Seon-woo is a former student of Jo Jin-gap (Kim Dong-wook) and the most recent victim of labor injustice.
Drama Bite #2: KBS's "Doctor Prisoner" has recruited Bae Yoon-kyung to become Jeong Se-jin, a nurse who is a mood-maker, which seems important when one is working in a prison.
Drama Mouthful #3: This third bit of news is a pretty major casting in "The Nokdu Flower". The SBS production has wooed powerhouse Choi Moo-sung as legendary hero Jeon Bong-joon, a solid addition to any cast as the actor's gravitas is well-known in film and drama.
