On October 9, actor Gong Myung's label Saram Entertainment confirmed with various media outlets, "It's true that Gong Myung has been offered a role in the upcoming drama 'The Secret of the Red Sky'. He is currently looking over the script positively."
'The Secret of the Red Sky' will be a historical drama based off of a bestselling novel of the same name by star author Jung Eun Gwol. Past works of Jung Eun Gwol which were recreated as live drama series include 'Sungkungwan Scandal' and 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun'.
The story is based off of true historical records of the first and only documented female chemical engineer of the Joseon dynasty.
According to media outlets, actress Kim Yoo Jung is in talks to take on the female lead role, with actor Ahn Hyo Seop also in talks to star as a male lead.
Do you want to see Gong Myung in the upcoming drama 'The Secret of the Red Sky'?
"The first 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 female chemical engineer": I've never watched Kim Yoo Jung in a serious role. She plays stupid characters really well though, believably. It will be interesting seeing her come out of that childlike image.
Hope it's a good script. I like Gong Myung.
