SEOUL, April 18 (Yonhap) -- Yoon Suk-ho, producer of the popular South Korean TV drama series "Winter Sonata," will this week begin filming the last of his TV dramas named after the four seasons of the year, Yoon's company said Monday.

"We will start shooting the new drama titled 'Spring Waltz' on Tuesday," Jo Seong-woo of Yoon's Color Co. said.



Yoon Suk-ho

Yoon's Color is an outside supplier of programs to TV networks established by Yoon, who also works as a senior producer of the public broadcaster KBS.

The star producer has released "Autumn Fairy Tale," "Winter Sonata" and "Summer Scent," depicting three tragic love stories mainly set in three seasons.

In particular, Winter Sonata drew a wide audience in neighboring Asian countries, including Japan, and contributed to the "Hallyu" phenomenon, or the Asia-wide boom of South Korean pop culture. The drama earned its lead actor Bae Yong-joon stardom in Asia.

"Spring Waltz" will be the first of the series to include overseas locations in Europe or Canada, Jo said, adding that domestic filming will be done mostly on a small island of the southern province of Jeolla.

The company expects it will cost about 5-6 billion won (US$4.9-5.9 million) in total to produce the 20-episode drama to be aired on KBS next spring.

"I feel a great burden because this will be the finale of the four-season drama series," Yoon said. "Like the previous three series, this drama will contain subjects that will arouse sympathy from the contemporary audience while depicting a beautiful love story."

[Guest_Guest_ibel_*_*]

I've heard from someone at soompi that Daniel Henney isn't the lead, maybe he was confirmed but not as the leading actor.. He's good looking but can't act..I hope they find a good actor for the role as this is the last season dramas.

Hopefully can get Kwon Sang Woo or Lee Byung Hun to act the last season.

As for actress, I hope this time will be Kim Ha Neul.

[francesca]

yeah, i also hope its not daniel henney, for all his good looks, i still dont think this is the right material for him....

and waiting for this last season series...though i've only seen summer scent

[Wengkee16]

Finally there will be a 4th serie hehehe. I've seen the other 3 series and i like the first one Autumn Tale. I've cried a lot hehehe

[breakerz]

i read from a magazine which says that Kim Hee Sun will be the female lead and Daniel'll be the male lead but i'm not sure whether if it's confirmed. but i do hope it'll be changed cos i don't really like this cast...

hope it'll be as good as the previous 3!

[boi]

So this is the fourth part in the autumn love story, winter sonata and summer scent?

Man i didn't know summer scent was a part of the series i knew the first two.

And Spring waltz? they called it spring waltz, man that sounds terrible . hahahahhaha. It doesn't even seem like its connected

[Guest_yellowrose_*]

i personally like the name "spring waltz".. it sounds very "dancy" and elegant to me.. i assume it's something related to dance or specifically waltz.. and dance always relate to me something emotional and artistic so shld make sense in the season-series-tragedies.. no offence boi =)

so till now the leads aren't confirmed yet? i kind of like the idea of having moon geun young as the female lead.. the truth is she still need to look a bit more mature.. but seriously she can really cry.. her acting is oso very natural.. actually i think her age will not be a problem since she has acted in many dramas and movies (having lead roles) so this drama shld not stress her in any way.. what's more she's 18 this yr.. song hye kyo was 18 when she acted in autumn story.. so maybe history will repeat itself and moon geun young will become the hot favourite korean star in asia like song hye kyo 5 yrs ago.. my opinion =)

as for male lead, i dont really mind any.. but if moon geun young is the female lead, the male lead will have to look younger.. so kwon sang woo and lee byung hun shld me out of the question i think since they are way more matured looking.. jo in sung is a good choice =) he can act, he's cute and he's young.. i can see him with moon geun young as a happy drama couple =P

[queenb*t*ch]

OOH i heard the director likes Sung yuri to be the lead actress hehe she's pretty

[DarkSephiroth]

Wow I cant wait for this series to come out. I've watched both Winter Sonata and Autumn Tale and I am almost finished with Summer Scent.

All three have been very very good so I hope this one doesn't disappoint. I hope the cast of characters is good. I dont think Daniel should be leading male. He just doesn't look right for that type of part in this drama.

I just hope everything comes out right in the end, but no matter what happens, I'll probably still watch and finish the drama just so I can complete the series. Let's hope for the best

[RockPopPrincess]

I've read in "Daneil Henney"'s thread in one site that he will be the leading man in "Spring Waltz" and they are choosing between Kim tae Hee, Im Soo Jung, Moon Geun Young and the other girl (i dont know her name) who will be the lead girl. But I hope Kim Tae Hee will be the one or pretty Jeon Ji Hyun or maybe change them to Lee Dong Gun and Ha Ji Won, or Lee Dong Gun and Lee Da Hee. I miss Lee Dong Gun doing TV Dramas.

LEE DONG GUN:


KIM TAE HEE AND DANEIL HENNEY:


HA JI WON:

[bubblebeebite]

CAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN't wait! i'm dying to watch another big BIG tear-melodramatic drama again!!!!!!!!!! haven't seen one since sorry i love you. 3 leaf clover, spring day ... just seemed to be lacking oomf overall!

[shorty-gal]

hope this is good. i never watched the other one besides endless love but then again i never really watched it... i just skimmed through it. but if there's going to be a good cast for this drama... i just might check it out...

[boi]

hahahha thats alright i don't own the name! lol

But yeah with all the hype over daniel henney, thinking abt it now he doesn't seem to suit ya know? i mean he just started acting.

[Guest_Guest_*]

hahaha....all these speculations.
well, here's a pic of the few ppl that's gonna be in Spring Waltz. Don't know whether they're lead or not but anyway:



anyone know who they are? I only know the middle one, Joo Ji Hoon who is also starring in upcoming drama, Goong.

[_Snowie_]

yeah...the 4th is finally coming...i love the three series before...so can't wait till i get to see this

i'm so excited over who the main leader will be...

[Terry Ng]

i think Jo In Sung is part of this series... rofl rofl rofl

OH please let Jo IN Sung be the lead actor in this. Oh God, Please *praying*

[breakerz]

lol... persoanlly i hope they have some younger looking casts so maybe it'll look more 'energetic' and fun instead of just like a typical k-drama...

[T.c]

I personally hope that the female lead will be ha ji won or kim tae hee. I find that Moon Geun Yong doesn't suit for a sad story. Hahahah... Hmm, as for the male lead, I hope it's a guy that can act properly... Though I'll hope it won't be the same male lead in summer scent or autumn tale, too bored.

[cpxpimpintrainin]

How come I never heard of Spring Waltz? Im so into korean dramas. Is it also called Spring Day? because I have Spring day but havent watched it yet. Can someone please tell me if Spring Waltz is Spring Day?

[..marieck...]

woooooyeeeeeahhhh i just hope mun geun young would be the chosen lead actress...i like her a lot her acting is superb i wish she culd visit phils. she's so talented. i got amazed when i saw her dancing in innocent steps it was so wonderful she's really a star, a gem, and anything special...... i just hope the lead guy would be changed i'd be glad if it would be WON bin. they look good together...... please please please team them two together i really like them.....

[Guest_Guest_*]

it's been confirmed sung yuri will be the lead actress, no word on the main male lead but Daniel Henney will play the 2nd lead.


News:

It has been confirmed that Danielle Henny and Sung Yuri has been casted in KBS 2TV Miniseries 'Spring Waltz' which going to air next year in March.

Newsen spoke w/ "Spring Waltz' producer Jo Sungwoo on the phone. "The main male character has not been decided yet but the main female character is going to be played by Sung Yuri and the 2nd main male character is going to be played by Danielle Henny. Instead of relying on top stars, Yoon Sukho PD wants to choose new stars that can carry on the Korean Wave. Right now we are looking for an actor to play the other main role."

Sung Yuri is going to comeback in a drama after 1 year and 9 months. Her last drama was MBC "Prince's First Love." Danielle Henny who got popular from MBC "My Name is Kim Samsoon' has gotten a chance to become a world wide star by appearing in "Spring Waltz."

After casting the main male character in mid November, a news conference is going to be held for the drama "Spring Waltz."

I've heard from someone at soompi that Daniel Henney isn't the lead, maybe he was confirmed but not as the leading actor.. He's good looking but can't act..I hope they find a good actor for the role as this is the last season dramas.

I would prefer that Daniel is the first lead actor. Unfortunately, he is not. There is still no news who is likely to be the main lead. Hopefully, someone better looking and more fabulours than Daniel.

joo jin mo for the main lead actor- he is my current obsession since fashion 70s

[XINX]

Niiice! Sung Yuri is a cutie! I cant even wait now! Really loved the previous 3, especially the first one, Autumn~

[chaserj7]

Sung Yuri (1st female lead) Daniel Henney (2nd male lead).

Yuri is 24, I think.

but there are some rumours on soompi that the female lead may have been changed again. ohhhh man.

[chewwy]

wow! Daniel Henney is gonna act in this series??? Can't wait to see it theN!! Been loving Daniel Henney since My name is kim sam soon... This drama is gonna be pretty!! anyone knows if the story is a sad one or a cheerful one?

[rumikochan]

Sung Yuri (1st female lead) Daniel Henney (2nd male lead).

Yuri is 24, I think.

but there are some rumours on soompi that the female lead may have been changed again. ohhhh man.

I read that Yuri pulled out and her replacement is Han Hyo-joo. An 18yrs old girl who has never act in drama before. She was discovered at a teenage beauty pageant. Hopefully, this serie will not be a disapointment since I love the first 3. I can't wait to find out who is the male lead. I am not excited to see Daniel Henney as one of the male lead. Don't know, I just don't feel that he got the charisma. This is just my opinion, sorry if I offend anyone.

[Cheessy]

So if Daniel Henney is confirmed here, most of the casts need to be who can speak English quite well, isn't it? I hope that the female lead will change to Kim Tae Hee

[xbunnylicious]

I've so looking forward to this drama, but I know it won't possibly be good as Autumn Tale.

Did you know that the leading lady is an 19-year girl they found at a beauty pageant????!!!!


Here's the article!!!:

Last year, when singer-turned-actress Seong Yoo-ri pulled out of "Spring Waltz", an ambitious TV drama produced by "Winter Sonata" creator Yoon Seok-ho, the producer announced 19-year-old Han as the replacement.
The announcement surprised many people as Han was a newcomer to the entertainment world.But Yoon seemed confident with his decision, saying, "Just wait and see. I didn't just find an actress to play the heroine, I found the heroine herself."After the contract with Sung did not work out, producer Yoon immediately cast Han as the heroine, thinking that her innocent and naive image was just right for the role.

Playing the heroine who meets her destined first love after losing touch with him for 15 years, Han is much expected to be showered with the same attention through the upcoming romance.

After spending 22 days on an overseas shoot in Austria earlier this month, Yoon praised Han more enthusiastically."I am now confident that Han is ready to show everything she has through this drama", he said. "By analyzing the character thoroughly, Han has managed to bring alive the character exactly the way I had her in my head".

Knowing that her future as an actress relies largely on the success of "Spring Waltz", Han said that she planned to live as the heroine until the shooting of the drama was over."People tell me that I have diverse images", said Han. "I think the various images root from the desire for acting. Although acting is still difficult, I am so much in love with it and am ready to give my best".
