After filming for 3 months, idol drama ‘Fondant Garden’ which is produced by Angie Chai had changed their main actress abruptly from Shara Lin to Jian Man Shu. The tape which the film crew have finished shooting and editing will be voided; the loss is nearly 10 million.
It was reported that Angie Chai had previously seen the tape after the filming and was not satisfied and even asked the director to re-film it. Comic Ritz expressed that “Angie Chai wants to bring out the best for the drama, there’s still room for improvement for some of the previous scenes. Although the loss is not small, the quality for a drama is the most important.”
‘Fondant Garden’ actors and actresses were only officially revealed to the media one month ago, Shara Lin not only went to Hualien for filming, she has also learnt how to make cake for the drama. After everything, it was said that the main actress will be changed which triggers curiosity. Shara Lin’s manager said “Because the filming of drama has been delayed, she also needs to record for her album after that and thus, she withdraw from the drama.”
As for the change of main actress, Comic Ritz said ‘In the first place, our contract with Shara Lin will end in November, if we were to re-film everything now, it will of course be delayed and everything which includes the styling will be to remake again. We did not change our actor because we are against them, it’s simply that they could not meet with the schedule. Main actor Park Jung Min’s schedule was also coordinated many times.”
The filming location of the drama is now in Korea. Recently, the drama crew specially held an opening ceremony for the drama to shoot smoothly. A pig head was placed on the table that day, Kingone Wang playfully stuff note (money) into the pig’s nose. He laughed and said ‘This kind of goodies like seeking the blessing, I certainly need to do some *’originator’!”
The local temperature everyday is below 10 degree Celsius, Jian Man Shu cried that she is going to be frozen into ice. Even Park Jung Min who is a Korean could not stand the temperature, despite that there are fans surrounding the filming scene, he covered himself with a blanket to keep himself warm.
*Not that sure what it means though. ._.

SS501 member Park Jung Min recently starred in a Taiwan and Korea collaboration drama ‘Sugarcake Garden’. Previously, he was a singer and a musical actor who showcased different talent, now he has become an actor and met everyone, fans are carrying a huge expectation.
After finishing his drama press conference and fan-meeting, etc schedules, he is still the same like before, greeting us with his bright smile and voice, accepting our interview in a pleasant mood.
“I haven’t met everyone for such a long time. In order to create a perfect drama, we deleted scenes that we previously finished filming and re-filmed it. So I seem to spend my time in Taiwan and am unable to do any activities in Korea. They say that I am busy at places they can’t see me. (Laughs) I miss my fans.”
Park Jung Min expressed that in ‘Sugarcake Garden’, his role in the drama is an optimistic and cheerful hotel CEO’s heir. In fact, this role is similar to his own personality so it’s not difficult when it comes to filming but instead, he feels happy. In addition, because of his cheerful personality, there is no problem about the language barrier.
Unconsciously, it’s been 6 years since he debuted and to him who is already 25 years old, no matter if its singing or acting, he will not give up either one as they are the career he cares about the most. For now, he only wants to complete these careers wholeheartedly.
“To me, both singer and actor are important to me. I am filming for the drama now, so my target is to put in effort for the filming of drama. But recently, I am thinking of releasing an album. I really love my songs (Laughs) I will continue to work harder in the both aspect, showing everyone how I grow.”
From his bold yet luminous eyes, I can feel that Park Jung Min is really passionate in both music and acting. It was said that Park Jung Min normally take care of woman thoughtfully thus this made the other party having the wrong thought which makes him lands into a hard situation. He who is always thoughtful, how will he attract girls he like? We have also asked about his ideal type at the same time.
“Actually I am not the type of people who will fall in love at first sight. I will start off like a normal friend and slowly develop my feelings to her naturally, after that I will like her. (Laughs) So I will not change myself to attract her, I will show her the real side of me. Thus, my ideal type is like someone who is a friend whom I can get along comfortably, someone who is happy and interesting when we get together. (Laughs)”
He is indeed Park Jung Min who does not need to think about his answers to a question. He regretfully expressed that he will be going to and fro Taiwan and Korea again, working even harder. He will be releasing an album in Japan early next year, and should be able to meet the fans in Korea by summer.
“I will work harder to meet everyone within the shortest time. I hope everyone can anticipate and wait for me. ‘Sugarcake Garden’ will be broadcasting next year, I hope everyone can look forward to it and support. Thank you.”
Park Jung Min kept his bright smile throughout the whole interview. He is such a honest and generous person. We hope that he will continue to work hard, and become the best singer and actor in Asia.
