TVXQ's magnae Shim Changmin also seems to have caught the acting bug. He has been chosen to act as the main character in the drama "Paradise Meadow".

Having produced dramas like "Mom is Mad" and "First Wives Club", Samhwa Networks come together with SM Entertainment to co-produce the drama "Paradise Meadow", and it has been made known on the 28th that Max Changmin has been casted as the main character.

"First Shop of Coffee Prince"'s Jang Hyun Joo and "Into the Sun"'s Suh Hee Jung co-write "Paradise Meadow" as a romantic melodrama. They start shooting next month at Jeju Island.

Samhwa Networks says, "It is a bright and light story, with beautiful music that harmonizes with the melo picture, and at the end of the year, we will start to broadcast the program in Japan and South East Asia."

Good luck to the both of them! I heard that "Heading to the Ground" is a soccer drama that's supposed to be a romantic comedy. Filming has already started, I believe.
