Yoon suk-ho’s new drama, “Our Joyful Youth,” has been postponed to next year.

“Our Joyful Youth” was originally planned to air after “Spy Month” which features Lee jin-wook and Han Ye-sul this September on KBS 2YV, but recently Yoon Suk-ho PD asked KBS that he may be excused from this year’s line-up.

On the 9th, during a conversation with TV Report, Yoon Suk-ho PD stated that “many things are making the drama on September to be difficult, postponement is necessary for a better quality.”


The scriptmaker of “Kyu-Wool-Yun-Ka” and “Ka-Eul-Dong-Hwa” made a good script for this drama, but free production such as casting and scene hunting has been difficult and thus he turned to postponement.

Yoon Suk-ho PD stated, “I don't want to make a sloppy drama chased on time and disappoint the viewers. I am not used to 쪽대본 (means scenario not finished by the start of the drama. The scenarios are built as the actors go on. So the actors don't really know the ending of the story until they get there) and I’m not ready for it.” One personnel hinted that Yoon Suk-ho may be under pressure since this is a comeback after 5 years.

Regarding to casting, Yoon suk-ho stated that he “met with many actors including T.O.P,” but since he is postponing he should have to make an entirely new casting. His goal for now is to start filming this fall and air the drama beginning of next year.

“Our Joyful Youth” is a drama which includes scenes from Japan. The drama is of the love life and the work life of an attractive fashion photographer, and it is to have Yoon Suk-ho’s unique touch of calm storytelling and scene beauties.

Regarding casting, Yoon Suk-ho PD stated, “I met with many actors and actresses such as T.O.P and Ko Ara and asked if they were interested in taking part. However, what is the most important for me is the ability to focus on the drama as well as his/her acting skills. I wanted T.O.P, but he has to parallel the drama with Japan promotions which does not guarantee 4 days out of 7; thus, I sadly had to take him out of the candidate list.
