Moon Chae-won will not join "Rooftop Prince"

17 Jan – "The Princess' Man" actress Moon Chae-won has reportedly decided not to join the cast of SBS' upcoming drama, "Rooftop Prince".

According to Allkpop website, on 16 January, Moon's agency revealed, "We've been reviewing the script for drama "Rooftop Prince", but have made the final decision not to cast Chae-won in it."

They continued, "After reading the script, we realised that the drama is more of a costume drama. We decided not to take the role because we wanted to avoid keeping a historical drama image for Moon, through her recent projects "The Princess Man" and "Arrow: The Ultimate Weapon."

The agency also explained that Moon Chae-won wants to take a break from her busy schedule. They stated, "We will take more time to look carefully for her next project and come back with a familiar and better image."

Casting for "Rooftop Prince" has been gaining attention from viewers as it was recently revealed that JYJ's Park Yoo-chun has been cast as the male lead. The drama is set to replace "The 3rd Hospital," and begin airing on 14 March. There have been no other castings yet.
