wine drama & yong joon's upcoming birthday

there are some posts on soompi that are confusing.

#1 'terrior'

"Terroir" is the first Korean drama about wine and Han Hye-jin will be the lead role!

A year and a half after the final episode of "Jumong" Han Hye-jin has revealed herself at the Brown Hall to take the role of Lee Woo-joo.

Lee Woo-joo meets Kang Tae-min (Kim Joo-hyeok) who was taught and inherited the wine production and opens her eyes in the world of wine.

The staff and writers of this drama are trying to reveal the world of wine producing and tasting to the viewers through this drama. "Terroir" will be costing over 60,000,000 Won {6 billion Won} for its high quality and well made project. A lot of wine producers in Asia and Europe are already interested in this drama.

"Terroir" will be filmed starting this September in time for grape harvest and wine production in Bordeaux, France where it will be set.
some baesisters at soompi are kind of worried about this because the storyline seems to have a similarity with 'drops of god'. but the creator of 'drops of god' expressed their willingness to have their manga made into a drama if and only yong joon will appear on it.

likewise, i also saw last week one article from innolife [in kob post # 51211] talking about 'drops of god' with ji jin hee [spotlight] on the photo with the authors of the japan manga about wine. i tried using machine translator but couldn't really figure out what the article is all about. i even thought that it has something to do with 'terrior' but i think i'm wrong.

but i also remember reading last week, an article where in mgr yang mentioned that they'll start working on 'drop of gods' next year?

though the writer of 'terrior' was not mentioned in the article, could it also be agi tadashi? what about that photo of ji jin hee with the brother and sister team? what is that all about? huh?!

anyway, i've a feeling that there will be 1 or 2 wine drama that will come out before 'drops of god'.

this just came in at soompi [12:15am]

'Terroir’ will be based on Korea’s unique drinking culture, which is a mixture of traditional drinks and wine.

Yedang Entertainment said on the 13th that they have concluded a contract to make a wine comic on the 11th with Haksan Munhwasa, the company that imported Japan’s wine comic ’The Drops of the Gods.’

The main setting of the drama ’Terroir’ will be a wine restaurant and Kim joohyuk will take the role of Taemin and Han Hyejin will take the role of Wuju. The filming of the drama will start in September and it will start to be aired in November. [source : yahoo korea]
hmm, okay...so that's it? but another article wrote...

"Terroir" was originally from a Japanese anime, "Waterdrop from the Gods". [source : DongA]

#2 yong joon's birthday notice

Notice about BYJ Birthday BOF 2008-08-14

Greetings BYJ family members.

We hope that you have been enjoying the Olympic Games.

We are a little concerned about some matters regarding BYJ’s birthday, which is the 29th of this month. We understand that many events have been planned to celebrate his birthday. We are extremely grateful for the interest that people have shown. However, we are worried that some of our BYJ family members may go through some difficulties as a result of taking part in certain events which seem to be profit-driven.

We will not be holding any official events for BYJ’s birthday. We hope that there will be no misunderstandings and that none of you will be misled.

BYJ has gratefully received your sincere congratulatory remarks and he has felt the warmth of your messages. Your warm heart will be much more valuable to him than any gifts or events.

We would like to thank you once again for your constant interest and love for BYJ. And we hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Yours sincerely,

BOF

honestly i haven't read any countries yet planning on something. now i wonder if there's a tour group organizing an event using yong joon's name? the 'profit driven' words are kinda intriguing. i know tour groups do this a lot and yong joon i believe as already expressed his disappointment about this before

hi liezle,

am not sure if you've already figured out that jin ji hee bit... but i think he's gonna be publishing a book on wine... not sure if it's a photo album of him visiting vineyards, or an educational one though. am not quite a fan, so i didn't quite read the entire article. think he had gone to france(?) and when he came back, he had a meeting with the sibling-authors, that's why the picture. believe it's got nothing to do with the drama.

liezle
