LEE JOON GI
IN SEARCH
OF
THE
MOST
INCREDIBLE
TELEVISION SERIES
|
|
 Every fan is
eager to know whether Lee Joon Gi will accept or has already accepted the incredible
offers: The Gyeongbokgung Detective Agency or Again My Life 2 projects
expected to follow after he completes his current production, which will take
him to several countries. Fans would be absolutely thrilled if he chose to star
in both television series. While some actors film four or five dramas
back-to-back, Lee Joon Gi is quite the exact opposite. He once promised to take
on at least one television series a year. He missed 2019, 2021 and 2024 so fans
feel he is long overdue for more projects now. Lee has a reputation for quality
over quantity. Will these two projects excite him enough for him to do them
back-to-back? By the look of
things, it does seem that he is going to film The Gyeongbokgung Detective
Agency first. NamuWiki and My Drama List seem to have confirmed
this. Unless the information is fake. The Gyeongbokgung
Detective Agency will surely be a unique masterpiece and push Lee Joon Gi to greater heights and achievements.
 https://news.nate.com/view/20251007n10726   However, the
title, The Gyeongbokgung Detective Agency, seems quite commonplace. It should
be changed as another series has almost a similar title and plot.
SIMILARITIES 
1. The
Gyeongbokgung Detective Agency coincidentally has a similar name as Gyeongseong
Detective Agency.
2. King Hyejong
does not exist in the official list of Joseon Kings; he is a fictitious figure.
He is possibly an erased king or a king in an alternative Joseon history.
Gyeongseong Detective Agency is about an alternative history.
3. Like The Gyeongbokgung Detective
Agency, Gyeongseong Detective Agency is also a Joseon investigation series with some connection to royalty.
4. In The Gyeongbokgung Detective
Agency, the king is assisted by Yi
Seo, his Royal Historian, who, possessing an unsurpassed eidetic memory, can
recall vivid details of an image after seeing it briefly. Gyeongseong
Detective Agency speaks of a female protagonist with the
ability to remember everything she saw once.
Do all these details
sound rather familiar? To avoid future misunderstandings, it is best to change
the title of the television series.
THE SAGA OF KING HYEJONG CROWN OF SECRETS  PALACE OF SHADOWS HISTORY’S GHOST THE FORGOTTEN THRONE SHADOWS OF HYEJONG
 ERASED FROM HISTORY THE VANISHED ROYAL NAME THE ERASED CHRONICLES  THE BLOOODHOUND KING SHERLOCK OF THE THRONE KING IN DISGUISE THE DEMENTED DETECTIVE KING HYEJONG: MASK OF TRUTH THE GREAT ROYAL DETECTIVE  HYEJONG: CROWN OF CHAOS WACKY KING HYEJONG ETC. 
There are some television series featuring King Hyejong but as his name is nowhere to be found in the official list of Joseon kings, the television series retell his story as myth.
    If it is
confirmed that Lee Joon Gi has already accepted The Gyeongbokgung Detective Agency, a historical comedy-action television series, is
he also going to accept Again My Life 2? Well, don’t
underestimate Director Han
Cheol Soo’s determination, single-mindedness, doggedness and tenacity.
 The director is like a bulldog who
refuses to let go if he deems it important; his perseverance could be seen in his words when he spoke about casting Lee Joon Gi in Again My Life in 2022.
‘It’s my nature that once I set my sights
on something, I get extremely obsessed over it. From the very beginning and
even now, the only actor I’ve had in mind is Lee Joon Gi. Up until now, we’ve
had 97 shoots for about 6 months. He’s doing such a wonderful job on the set.
He gets along so well with the other actors and he has such great manners too.’ 
When asked by the MC Park Kyung Rim if
Lee Joon Gi had convinced him that he had made the right choice, Director Han
Cheol Soo’s answer was positive, and unequivocal - leaving no room for doubt.
Surely, he would not allow Lee Joon Gi to
say no to Again My Life 2.
          Lee Hae Nal, the writer shares the same explicit
sentiments. 'No other actor, except Lee Joon Gi, could play this
character Kim Hee Woo.' The sequel will be another masterpiece. Season
2 hints at a dramatic transformation for Kim Hee Woo – one that elevates him to
Chaebol chairman and powerful politician. With
his marriage to Kim Hee Ah, Kim Hee Woo inherits vast corporate influence and power.
As a politician-cum-conglomerate
chairman with multiple intelligences, Kim Hee Woo rises with a new kind of
confidence – sleek, magnetic and dangerously charismatic. This
time, would the powerful man with a new super talent lean into flamboyance? Why
shouldn’t he? Over-the-top glamour. Signature suits. Bold colours. Stylish
presence. A dazzling façade designed to captivate the public. But
beneath this polished exterior lies Kim Hee Woo - a man of duality. Beneath the
charming, sophisticated, media-friendly veneer and the disarming gift of song lurks
a ruthless strategic monster with a mind as cold and calculated as a blade. Season
2 will surely ask the question: Will Kim Hee Woo become a monster? The
Grim Reaper’s warning echoes through his rise. True justice sometimes demands
descending into a monster’s mindset.
Season 2 promises to explore the tension between these 2 identities. If Again My Life 2 embraces this darker, more seductive political-psychological thriller tone, it would surpass Season 1 in ambition and scale, turning Kim Hee Woo into an unforgettable, iconic character. The birth of a stylish, brilliant, strategic and utterly unforgettable Monster of Justice will elevate the television series far above the original. |
