Goo Hye Sun once quitted a K-drama halfway through, her replacement was miles better?
Actress Goo Hye Sun used to greatly trouble a K-drama production crew by dropping the project half-way through.
5 years ago, before her divorce controversies and decision to leave the industry, Goo Hye Sun was a cast member of the K-drama “You Are Too Much”. This would have been her last drama project as of the moment, but Goo Hye Sun had to leave after finishing 6 episodes, leaving the crew struggling to find a replacement.
According to YG Entertainment, the actress’s agency at the time, Goo Hye Sun has been diagnosed with a severe, allergic digestive dysfunction, which requires absolute stability and long term treatment. She was advised to halt all activities, and even the crew agreed to let her go, understanding these health concerns.
Since “You Are Too Much” was already airing by the time Goo Hye Sun left, the production crew rushed to find a replacement for her, and ended up casting actress Jang Hee Jin.
At the time, Jang Hee Jin might have lost to Goo Hye Sun in terms of popularity, but she had way more experiences and was considered to be better at acting. As a result, Jang Hee Jin easily integrated herself into “You Are Too Much”, and delivered such an outstanding performance that the audience said it should have been Jang Hee Jin all along.
