Suzy is in talks to play Empress Latil in the live-action adaptation of the hit web novel “Men of the Harem.” The drama will be produced by Studio Dragon, known for hits like “Goblin” and “Crash Landing on You.” Fans are eager to see Suzy take on this powerful role.
The story follows Empress Latil, ruler of the fictional Tarim Empire, who forms a harem of male consorts to secure her throne. The web novel gained over 21.4 million downloads and was later turned into a popular webtoon. The drama will be directed by Lee Eung Bok, who worked on “Mr. Sunshine” and “Sweet Home.”
Suzy’s agency, Management SOOP, confirmed she is reviewing the offer. If she accepts, this will be one of her most ambitious roles yet. Fans online are already sharing their excitement and casting wishes for the male leads.
“yas, queen is booked and busy” – one fan wrote on social media.
“please pair goddess suzy to handsome men. i’m so sick of seeing a swan being paired with a frog” – another fan commented.
The screenplay will be written by Hwang Jin Young, who wrote the 2023 hit drama “My Dearest.” The team behind the project has high expectations, given the success of the original story. The web novel was written by Alphatart, the same author behind “The Remarried Empress.”
“Men of the Harem” is set in a fantasy world with political drama and romance. Empress Latil creates her harem after being betrayed by her first love, Prince Hyacinth. The story explores themes of power, love, and revenge.
The drama is still in early production, with no confirmed release date yet. Casting for the male consorts is ongoing, and fans are speculating about possible actors. Some have suggested names like Byeon Woo-seok and Jung Gun-joo for key roles.
Suzy is already set to appear in two other projects: the Netflix drama “Genie, Make A Wish” and the historical drama “Delusion.” If she joins “Men of the Harem,” her schedule will be packed, but fans are thrilled at the possibility.
The webtoon version of “Men of the Harem” is still ongoing, keeping fans engaged. The live-action adaptation is expected to bring even more attention to the story. With a strong production team and Suzy’s star power, the drama has high potential to be a hit.
Studio Dragon has a history of successful K-dramas, including “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God” and “Sweet Home.” Their involvement adds credibility to the project. Director Lee Eung Bok is known for his visually stunning and emotionally gripping storytelling.
Writer Hwang Jin Young’s previous work, “My Dearest,” was praised for its deep character development and intense romance. Her touch on “Men of the Harem” could make it a standout drama. The combination of strong writing, directing, and acting talent sets high expectations.
Fans of the webtoon hope the drama stays true to the original story. Many are excited to see how the complex relationships and palace politics will be portrayed on screen. The reverse harem concept, where a woman holds power over multiple men, is still rare in K-dramas.
Suzy has played various roles, from rom-coms to action thrillers. Her potential role as Empress Latil would showcase her range as an actress. Known for her roles in “While You Were Sleeping” and “Start-Up,” she has a strong fanbase ready to support her next project.
The news of her possible casting has sparked discussions online. Some fans are already imagining her in royal costumes, while others are curious about the chemistry with her co-stars. The drama’s unique premise makes it one of the most anticipated upcoming K-dramas.
No official confirmation has been given yet, but updates are expected soon. As production moves forward, more details about the cast and release timeline will be revealed. Until then, fans can read the webtoon to prepare for the live-action version.
