This drama has undergone one of the most topsy-turvy searches for a leading man I’ve seen in a long time in dramaland, and that’s saying a lot. Upcoming fusion medical sageuk series Faith has managed to keep Kim Hee-sun fixed as the heroine throughout its two-plus-year journey to broadcast, but has left potential heroes Lee Jun-ki and Kang Ji-hwan in the dust. Now it looks like Lee Min-ho might be the next big name to fill the much-needed step in getting this show on the road. Lee Min-ho? Yay. Lee Min-ho with mane of glory? Yum.

He’s still considering the role, so it’s not a confirmed thing. But it’s certainly the kind of drama a young up-and-comer (yeah, it’s hard to believe he’s still relatively new in this industry) should be swooping up with open arms. It’s written and directed by the team behind Sandglass–arguably the most critically acclaimed drama of all time–PD Kim Jong-hak and writer Song Ji-nah. They’re also the team behind Legend, which is probably closer to what we can expect, given that this drama is fusion-fantasy-sageuk as well.

Already cast are Choi Min-soo, Kim Seung-soo, Philip Lee, and Park Sang-won in the Goryeo-era (918 to 1392) story about eastern medicine that promises to mix history, action, fantasy, AND comedy. Uh, what’s left? Throw in musical-melodrama-pantomime and you’ve got a complete set. It reports a 30-billion won budget, which is about three times the usual “big-budget blockbuster” range for tv, so we can expect some splashy visuals to go along with that pretty, pretty cast.

Once Faith secures a leading man it’ll start production, and plans to be on SBS by August.

The drama has managed to hold onto its leading lady through all the hero drama, and actress Kim Hee-sun has confirmed (or re-confirmed, or re-re-confirmed, I’m honestly not sure anymore) that she’ll be sticking with the role. This will be Kim’s first role in six years, since 2006′s Smile Again. If you’re unfamiliar, she was one of the reigning It Girls for the better part of the nineties, and starred in almost every trendy drama I can remember from that decade.

So based on the latest description, Faith is actually YET ANOTHER time-traveling sageuk, which is maybe so common now that it’s gone from redundant back around to being funny. I guess technically Faith was supposed to air before all these other ones beat it to the broadcast punch, but that’s just the name of the game, ’cause now you’re just riding the trend instead of setting it. It’s set in the Goryeo era, where a warrior meets a doctor from the present and the two fall in love. Uh… Time Slip Dr. Jin anyone? Lee will play the warrior, a leader of the royal guard, and Kim the lively and animated… wait for it… plastic surgeon. HA. Okay, that’s pretty funny. What are they gonna do with a plastic surgeon in the Goryeo era?

At least now I see where the funny will come from, because before when they called it a fantasy-medical-fusion-historical-comedy, I thought they were just confused. At the helm is the dream team–PD Kim Jong-hak and writer Song Ji-nah–of Sandglass, Eyes of Dawn, and Legend. Rounding out the cast are Choi Min-soo, Kim Seung-soo, Philip Lee and Park Sang-won.

This will be both Lee Min-ho’s and Kim Hee-sun’s first foray into historical fare, so we’ll have to see if they can deliver. They’ve got a lot of obstacles–sageuk delivery, a ten-year age gap, and stunts for Lee–but whether it soars above expectation or goes down in flames, it sure has my interest.

Faith has landed a broadcast slot following Ghost and premieres in August on SBS.
