Director Ha Yu has selected Jin-mo Ju (200 Pounds Beauty and A Love) to star in his upcoming period piece “Ssanghwajeom”. Jin-mo Ju will appear alongside In-seong Jo who was already cast by Ha Yu. In-seong Jo is no stranger with Ha Yu’s work, as they previously worked together in the 2006 mob film “A Dirty Carnival”.
“SSanghwajom” is based off of a historical play set within the latter days of the Goryeo Dynasty. At the time, the Goryeo Dynasty fell under the influence of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. The King of Goryeo (Jin-mo Jo) attempts to strengthen his royal powers and wrest such powers from his wife, the beautiful Queen of Yuan, and her allies. The King of Goryeo is also in love with Hong Lim, the male leader of the royal bodyguards. Their relationship sets the stages for a dangerous game of love and betrayal.
“SSanghwajom” is expected to begin filming in April of 2008.
