Seoul, Korea – Group C.N.Blue member Jung Yong Hwa might play the title role in upcoming Korean version of Mischievous Kiss.

The series Mischievous Kiss is expected to be as successful as Boys Over Flowers, which created a storm over Goo Joon Pyo. The series is based on a popular Japanese comic book which sold over 2.7 million copies. It is a story of lovee between a man who has an IQ of 200 but is very cynical and a woman who is very restless and a troublemaker. Hwang In Rae, who produced Goong and Returned Il Ji Mae, will be the producer on this project.

This story has been already been converted into a TV series in Taiwan and has gained much popularity. Jung Yong Hwa is a candidate for a leading role as he received high grades from the production staff because of his acting experience in You Are So Beautiful.

The production company said, “It is not unreasonable to say that almost every ‘idol’ group member has auditioned for the role. Korean and Chinese netizens have held a vote on the Internet to choose a male lead from among members of many popular singing groups such as SS501, Super Junior, TVXQ, and more.”
