Photos during filming of "Iljimae"

Here are some photos I found at baidu (a Chinese website) of photos Jun Ki filming the new drama "Ijimae". His hair and clothing immediately reminds me back of "King and the Clown" but it's only the looks it was said his character is totally opposite of Gong-Gil.
I heard that this drama will be airing during April or May.

Also during April Jun Ki will be going to Hong Kong for Pespi's event.

SPRIS - WhiteHolic

(Click on image for original size)

Now I see, so this white hair style is for SPRIS.
Either way Junki still looks hot even though he got white hair.
He better get his black hair back because white hair looks fake.

Junki latest post in cy

OMG! What have he done to his hair?
It's WHITE!

Well, I guess it looks kind of cool once you look at it for awhile.
But at least he's changing styles and at least he's giving us surprises.

Drama Iljimae extended to 20 episodes

Today, March 14, a staff of SBS television station revealed “We are planning to extend drama Iljimae up to 20 episodes. On July 9, it will be aired the episode 18. If we extended 2 more episodes, the last episode will be aired on July 24.”

This man also said “We only hope for the performing of Lee Jun Ki. We will wait for several days after airing the first episodes, then we can give final decision whether the drama should be longer or not. Anyway, if it added only 2 episodes, it would not a big problem.”

He said that the big problem to prolong this drama is the work schedule of main casts such as Lee Jun Ke, han Hyo Joo, Lee Young Ah… That’s why they cannot decide anything at this time.

This drama is filmed while still in the process of writing the script. Therefore, scriptwriter Choi Ran has to put all her strength and her effort to make an interesting content for this drama. She said that she will do anything to prolong the drama as long as the work schedule of main casts are suitable.

Sohu: Not long ago, it was reported that your image in Iljimae was revealed in Korea. Lately, it turned out that one of your Chinese fans created the photograph and then sent it to CY.
