According to OSEN’s report on the 12th, Suzy is currently considering a lead role in the drama “The Men of the Harem.”
“The Men of the Harem” is a palace romance fantasy drama based on a Naver web novel by author Alphatart. The story follows Empress Latil of the Tarim Empire as she brings in male concubines in order to maintain her position as ruler.
The web novel was serialized from March 2020 to June 2023, amassing over 21.4 million downloads and was also adapted into a webtoon. It has gained significant popularity both domestically and internationally, with many fans showing strong interest in a live-action adaptation.
Amid this, news that actress Suzy is considering the role of lead character Latil has raised expectations.
The production of “The Men of the Harem” is being handled by Studio Dragon, with director Lee Eung-bok — known for “Sweet Home 2,” “Sweet Home 3,” “Mr. Sunshine,” and “Goblin” — taking the helm. Furthermore, writer Hwang Jin-young, who wrote MBC’s 2023 hit drama “My Dearest,” is joining the team to enrich the script.
The drama is currently in the pre-production phase and is casting actors.
The comments:
- The story is weird and the writer is really bad.
- Same with "Hyunhok" and this one — the original works are boring… Seems like only the visuals will work hard.
- How do you even turn a romance-fantasy into a drama… Half curious, half worried.
- Oh, I wonder how they'll change it?
- Wishing Suzy lots of work!
- Looking forward to Lee Eung-bok!
- The content is just not interestingㅠㅠ
- Plagiarizing writer lol
- Oh… This feels like a morning soap opera, why even botherㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ?
- I think I quit reading the original — it was only fun at the start, then got boring later.
- It’s the plagiarist writer from “My Dearest.”
- Huh..?
- The story is bad.
- Why are they doing this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Really looking forward to Suzy, I love it.
- I watched only the beginning and dropped it because it was boring…
- I like Suzy and Lee Eung-bok, but why that title?
- That’s a plagiarist writer.
- Huh, how are they turning this into a drama?
- How are they going to handle a story with no proper structure lol — are they just going to rely on the visuals?
- Why is everything Suzy does lately not good... It seems like she's picking more unique things compared to her older bland roles, but none of them are working.
- Why pick such a mass-produced story…ㅠㅠ Suzy needs to find a good projectㅠㅠ Aside from “Anna,” she keeps picking these vague, similar roles… She’s a good actress, does she not have good judgment? Please consider the artistic value…
- Why would anyone want to make this into a drama?
- Naver is trying hard but... like with "Remarried Empress" and "Men of the Harem" — these are strange choices for K-drama adaptations haha. Why not choose a realistic romance that would actually work in live action? Why keep making fantasy romance into dramas?
- It’s the writer of “My Dearest”… the plagiarist.
- Would they even be able to cast a well-known male lead for this? Does the original have a solid male lead?
- The story is hopeless…
- Curious about the casting…
- This is just too bad..
- Already excited to see how beautiful and good Suzy will beㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Suzy’s taste in projects…
- Why are they turning so many fantasy romances into dramas?
- More and more fantasy romance stories are being turned into live action now. Maybe all the realistic romance options have been used up.
- The director is good, but can the plagiarist writer adapt it well? ☞ If they adapt it into the Silla Dynasty era, it could work, but the production team would need to be top-tier.
- Seriously not good.
- It was really boring.
- Wow, the director, writer, and actors are all big names — looking forward to it.
- Don’t know about the original, but if Suzy is reviewing it, I’m nervous — she’s really working hard lately.
- Why turn a harem story into live action? What's fun about that?
- This one is seriously boringㅠㅠ At least “Remarried Empress” had that crazy drama vibe. This one…
- Isn’t that the plagiarist writer from “My Dearest”?
- 🤮
- Does this even have content worth making into live action..?
- Trying to condense and adapt this story would be a headache lol — honestly, it’s more about the Lord and the antagonist than actual romance.
- Suzy fits well with fantasy romance, but is the original even good? I’m curious.
- This is so boring;;;; really boring. Even with TV ads and over 1,000 episodes, it never hit 100 million downloads like “Remarried Empress.” Total letdown of a webtoon with nothing left but a Seo Ye-ji ad — and Suzy is doing this 😱😱
- Why do they keep adapting fantasy romance into dramas? How are they even going to rewrite it?
- Is there really a need for fantasy romance? The story is just so bad.
- Plagiarist writer, plagiarist director.
