[NEWS] Kim Hyun-joo headlines JTBC’s sageuk War of the Flowers
With the success of Childless Good Fortune buoying JTBC’s roster, they’re not wasting any time lining up their next weekend drama: They’ve announced Dark History: War of the Flowers, which has cast Kim Hyun-joo in the lead role playing a Joseon-era femme fatale. The drama is a sageuk and comes from the team who gave JTBC one of its earliest hits, Queen Dowager In-soo, so you can bet expectations are heightened for War of the Flowers.
Kim Hyun-joo has played a lot of types of characters in her career (recent dramas include Dumb Mom, Twinkle Twinkle), but I still associate her with a gentle sort of acting style, so this may be a big change for her. She plays a concubine of King Injo, Lady Jo, who was born into the lowest class but won Injo’s favor using her beauty and her wiles, and turned into a seductress who kept the king under her thumb. She played a key role in fracturing the relationship between Injo and his son, Crown Prince Sohyeon.
Usually these dramas take forever to release all their casting news, dropping one tidbit at a time, but this one seems to be going for the all-in-one-shot approach: Chae Jung-ahn (Queen of Reversals, Coffee Prince) has also signed on as Lady Kang, the crown princess and wife of Sohyeon. Ah, so their antagonism will probably fuel much of the drama.
he crown princess has an honorable reputation and is known for her intelligence, and together with her husband she advocated for reforms in Joseon. You can see how that might not jibe so well with the power-hungry and scheming seductress trying to keep the king under her control. That makes Kim Hyun-joo's character Chae Jung-ahn's mother-in-law, though the two actresses are of an age (both 36), which should make the showdown interesting.
Complicating matters, Jeon Tae-soo (It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl) is onboard playing Lady Jo’s lover. So she’s got a king wrapped around her finger, a son-in-law to alienate, a daughter-in-law to battle wills against, and a little sump’n-sump’n on the side too? This lady has balls.
Cast as King Injo is Lee Deok-hwa (May Queen, History of the Salaryman), while Jung Sung-woon (Dong Yi) will play Sohyeon. Jung Sung-mo (God of War) will play Kim Ja-jeom, a well-known politician and Confucian scholar.
War of the Flowers will replace Childless Good Fortune and takes to airwaves in March.

Jeon's role of Nam Hyeok is a character who was the child of a noble family but lives a hard life when his family is ruined. Although he is ever so poor, he doesn't lose his personality and elegance to support his one and only family, his old mother.
Nam Hyeok displays plaintiveness and tension at the same time as he follows in the path if his first love Jo's hidden truth and lies when she becomes the king's woman.
Jeon says, "I am hoping to show you various ways and action through Nam Hyeok".
The production says, "Jeon Tae-soo seems like the perfect actor to carry out the strong and soft images of Nam Hyeok".

Actor Son Byeong-ho has joined the upcoming JTBC drama "Cruel Palace - War of Flowers".
Son Byeong-ho takes on the role of Lee Hyeong-ik who stands on the side of Jo (Kim Hyeon-joo).
Lee Hyeong-ik is Jo's mother Han-ok's (Jeong Seon-kyeong) secret boyfriend who is friendly enough with the family as he'd been in their house since the old days. He's not exactly close with Jo but whenever she asks him for help he helps her as much as he can.
When Jo sits by the king and steals all of his attention, she suggests Lee Hyeong-ik as a medical advisor from her hometown. Son Byeong-ho goes into the palace and lands himself in a big role as Jo's advisor. He takes sides with her to harden her position inside the palace.
Son Byeong-ho said, "I am happy to work with producer Noh Jong-chan from "Queen Insoo" once again. I shall do my best to make my character fulfill its role".
Meanwhile, "Cruel Palace - War of Flowers" is a collaboration between Jeong Ha-yeon and Noh Jong-chan and it will be broadcasted on the 23rd of March.
