The drama remake of “Bungee Jumping of Their Own” has cancelled production.
It was revealed back in November that NCT’s Jaehyun was cast for the role of Im Hyun Bin for a drama remake of the 2001 film, while Lee Hyun Wook was confirmed to play Seo In Woo.
On December 9, Kakao Entertainment announced that production has been cancelled. The company explained, “In the process of preparing for production, the scenario writer of the original film expressed concerns.”
Kakao Entertainment continued, “All rights for derivative works including remakes belong to the production company (Choice Cut), so there are no issues with carrying out production. However, after extensive discussion, the final decision was made to suspend production in respect of the writer’s opinions.”
“Bungee Jumping of Their Own” is originally a film about high school teacher Seo In Woo (Lee Byung Hun) who is struggling to overcome the death of his girlfriend In Tae Hee (Lee Eun Joo). The movie follows the story of what happens when he meets a male student named Im Hyun Bin (Yeo Hyun Soo) who acts just like In Tae Hee.
