None of the articles that I read mentioned anything about the budget. He probably rejected this because of scheduling conflict with Fabricated City and not because they can't afford him.
5 to 7B Won for an 8 episode series would be about 600 to 900 million Won per episode, he's definitely expensive but I don't think he would charge that much.
Ji Chang Wook fans are mad at me for pointing out the obvious. Do you see Lee Song Juk or Park Seoo Joon taking…
The actors you mentioned plays almost similar character in most of their dramas. Unlike them Ji chang wook actually wants to play challenging roles. As a fan, I would rather see him in a character-driven show/movie (even if he is not the MC) than playing a CEO struggling with childhood trauma.
You got any proof for that? Even if you had, it won't make him racist because backstreet rookie was funny tbh and the jokes were on that particular character. Eum moon suk's character was based on original webtoon creator(just like his character in show) and jokes were on him.
