Cha Eun Woo, Shin Se Kyung, And More Gather For First Script Reading Of New Historical Drama

Upcoming MBC drama “Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung” has released images of the first script reading ahead of the premiere!

“Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung” is a fictional historical drama set in the Joseon Dynasty in the 19th century that tells the story of women who were frowned upon for writing historical records. The drama will fight against outdated prejudice on the basis of gender and social status and show the value of change.

In attendance at the script reading were directors Kang Il Soo and Han Hyun Hee, writer Kim Ho Soo, and actors including Shin Se Kyung, ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo, Park Ki Woong, and Lee Ji Hoon.

Before the script reading begin, Kang Il Soo said, “I will try to create a production environment where everyone can enjoy participating. There are a lot of rookie actors, so please show more interest in them, and even if they are lacking, please show your support for them. If you want to go quickly, go alone, but if you want to go far, let’s go together. Let’s do our best until it’s over.”

Shin Se Kyung led the scene with confident and bright energy as Goo Hae Ryung, a brave, bright, and problematic intern historian who challenges and ultimately plans to overturn the values of her society. Cha Eun Woo was immersed into his character, the lonely Prince Yi Rim who has never dated anybody. He also showed unique teamwork with Sung Ji Ru, who will take on the role of eunuch Sambo. Cha Eun Woo showed his passion for his role by listening to Sung Ji Ru’s loving advice.

Park Ki Woong faithfully played his role as the Crown Prince Lee Jin, the loving older brother of Prince Yi  Rim. Not only does Lee Jin dote on his younger brother, but he is an unselfish and idealistic prince who is unafraid to stand up against those who are driven by their own personal greed. He shows fierce charisma to his subjects yet a warm attitude towards his younger brother.

The production crew stated, “Despite the fact that this was the first script reading, we were able to check the actors’ high synchronization with their characters and their powerful teamwork. We ask you to show lots of attention and love for “Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung,” which will tell the heart-fluttering stories of Shin Se Kyung, Cha Eun Woo, and Park Ki Woong.”“Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung” is scheduled to air via MBC at 9 p.m. KST on Mondays and Tuesdays starting in mid-July.
