News Update as of March 6, 2010:
Reports say that the lead was given to Jang Geun Suk instead. Read news here: Jang Geun Suk's Next Project? You're My Pet


After being one of the F4 in Boys Before Flowers, Korea's version of Hana Yori Dango, Kim Hyun Joong is again cast in another adaptation of a television drama based from a popular Japanese manga written by Ogawa Yayoi. The said tv drama is Kimi Wa Petto or You're My Pet aired in 2003.

Interesting to note that Kimi Wa Petto starred Matsumoto Jun, who happens to be Domyoji Tsukasa in the Hana Yori Dango. Kim Hyun Joong, on the other hand, plays Yoon Ji Hoo in Boys Before Flowers.

The Korean title and the female lead are yet to be revealed. filming will start as soon as the casting is finalized and the series will air sometime in 2010.

Javabeans, my source, didn't say it's a rumor. On her blog, it says: "The contract has yet to be finalized, according to Kim’s management, but should be made official soon." So maybe it'll push through, maybe not... and lol on the Jun comment viet. I would like to take credit but javabeans pointed it out and I just rephrase it

uh oh! seems like KHJ was replaced by JGS... It's just from one report though but it's interesting nonetheless seeing that KHJ got the part of JiHoo in BOF which was first offered to JGS and now JGS will get You're My Pet when it was first offered to KHJ!
