As I mentioned previously, The Good Wife had their first table read a few days ago, and here are pics to prove it. Lookit those faces! I’m excited about all of them except for maybe Nana (bless her gorgeous bone structure) since it seems confirmed that she’ll be taking on the Kalinda role. Which can only mean one thing – brace yourselves, fans of the original, for a reimagining of the role, since a sassy, fierce, bisexual investigator is probably not what the beautiful idol (with limited acting experience) will be portraying.
Also, some casting news! (I warned you there would be more although I’m still impatient to learn what grand lady of Dramaland will be cast as Jackie – whomever isn’t in Dear My Friends, I guess?)
Rookie-to-the-small-screen Chae Dong Hyeon has been cast as… something. I dunno. The article says he’ll play an important part, but I don’t have anything giving me connecting hints to the original show. A client, perhaps? This will be his drama debut, although he’s been busy in live theater up until now.
I’m also curious to know if the drama will just adapt the first season or add in storylines from all seven (or maybe I just want to know if we’ll get our very own Alan Cumming), but I suppose I’ll have to wait until July to find out.
