[NEWS] Cast Of “Manhole” Show Off Perfect Comedic Chemistry At First Script Reading
On July 6, KBS2 released a few stills from the first script reading, which took place on June 29, for their upcoming time-slip drama “Manhole,” which will air on August 9 after “Queen for 7 Days” ends its run.
The main cast, which consists of UEE, JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong, B1A4’s Baro, and Jung Hye Sung, came together along with the rest of the cast as well as the director and screenwriter of the drama for the first script reading. “Manhole” is a comedic time-slip drama about a man named Bong Pil who accidentally goes back in time by falling into a manhole.
Anticipation is high for the drama, as the cast members showed not only perfect assimilation to their individual roles but also great comedic chemistry with one another. One of the directors of the drama even said after the script reading, “This is the first time I have laughed so much at a script reading…This only confirms my initial thoughts that we will be able to make a great drama because of the amusing script and our talented actors.”
Kim Jaejoong will be taking on the male lead role of Bong Pil, who is his neighborhood’s token unemployed person. He goes back in time by falling into a manhole and attempts to stop the marriage of his long-time love Kang Soo Jin, who will be played by UEE. B1A4’s Baro will be taking on the role of Jo Suk Tae, a cute character who always loses to Bong Pil and is waiting for the right moment to exact revenge on Bong Pil. Jung Hye Sung will be taking on the role of Jin Sook, a character who has grown up in the same neighborhood as Bong Pil and Kang Soo Jin since they were young.

way to hype me up more! this sounds so good and i can’t wait for JJ to come back to dramaland! and, his ugly is my beautiful best~he just does not know how to look bad unlike all the squids around him, myself included! gosh JJ, come to me quickly!
Check out the individual photos where JJ is reading his script. God Almighty! If that’s ugly then I am a Godzilla 😨😨
exactly what i was trying to say about me!!! he is so gorgeous! i don’t think you are ugly though! just a guess
Thanks koreamom. But I am 4 KGS overweight and that makes me a Godzilla. That’s why I am so envious of JJ. He can control his weight whichever way he wants up or down
i wish weight WAS easier to control!
@koreamom So do I, so do I, koreamom. JJ must be having a will of steel to be able to fast for more than a day if he so sets his mind.
I believe he went back to his skinny teenage days in preparation for his role as a school boy. I also have the feeling that this “spontaneous” trip was not so spontaneous. All this riding, fishing, karting, games, etc., he was perhaps letting his hair down so as to relax and enter under the skin of his new carefree character of Bong Pil.
Even those pimples he was showing off on his one cheek, may be we shall see them on Bong Pil’s.pimply teenage face.
🙂 ❤
I also need to laugh director-nim super excited for this drama
Gave up on being handsome? FAILED, and that’s in capslock 🤣, sorry JJ, there’s no way you can give up for being handsome. Not fond of that ahjumma style permed hair but whatever style or even if you go bald #Loveyoumore will still be trending 😍🤗
Good luck Bong Pil and your crush for decades …
That messed up hair reminds me a lot 😀 …lol, even with dark glasses JJ still looks hot and sexy..it’s going to be a joyride watching this drama #Manhole #excited
“LIKE”!!!
Kris – I always look for your own version of photos collages….thanks so much. Also to comment…I was VERY excited to read the Director of Manhole’s comments “I’ve never laughed so hard in a script reading” !!!!!! THAT would be so encouraging to the cast and makes me look forward to it even more. Anyway – thanks for the GREAT collection of photos. I am not sure who does them!
Thank you for that 😍
don’t really like this hairstyle… but nevermind, any JJ is fine to me 😀
This should be good if the director is already enjoying it! 🙂
I guess his character start with being an average guy then maybe he changes to win over the leading lady?
