[UPDATE] "Dream High" rewritten to give IU a larger role

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Tuesday, December 28, 2010

IU has quickly become a respected figure in the industry, sweeping up awards left and right and coming up as one of the hottest artists of the year. It seems her influence has also managed to seep into KBS's upcoming drama, "Dream High". Despite there being five other leading cast members - Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Suzy, Kim Soo Hyun, Eunjung - the writer and producers were enamored with IU's exceptional acting skills. Consequently, screenwriter Park Hye Ryun decided to rewrite the script in order to give IU a larger role, and thus reflect IU's real-life popularity. The producers are currently in talks with her agency, in order to confirm details on the longer filming requirements that come with the larger role.

Dream High's representative clarified, "We are fully aware that IU's popularity has been soaring lately, but giving her a larger role in the drama is impossible at this time. We've written up to six episodes worth of scenarios now, and her role in the drama has not changed before or after she gained popularity." They continued, "IU is certainly one of the hottest figures in the industry lately, but because there are so many other leading roles, it's not possible to stretch or shrink the roles. IU is also quite busy herself, so she probably would not be able to handle the schedule. The only thing possible for revision at the moment is the script for her character."
