Manga-inspired new show "Hayate Nogotoku" by GTV, which recently confirmed Park Shin Hye as the female lead, finally decided on the male lead to be
George Hu from "K.O.3an Guo", a show produced by GTV that had received remarkable viewership. Park Shin Hye revealed that she is currently
learning Chinese diligently, and George Hu had commented Shin Hye to be "ladylike, thin, and also cute". However, their translator has been playing gooseberry
in the middle throughout their conversations.
George Hu has to display extraordinary
physical fitness and well-versed in
martial arts, thus he has begun frequenting the gym and
the swimming pool. He said that, "I'm very confident about fighting! Even if it requires me to hang on steel wires (note: those scenes whereby the actors/actresses have to "fly" around)." The only thing that will deter him to work during winter, which gives him the shudders, fears about being frozen.
Note: this is a Japanese comic that the Taiwan TV company has adopted.

GTV has just announced a new idol drama starring Korean
actress Park Shin Hye and Taiwanese actor George Hu from K.O.3an Guo. The drama will be an adaptation of the popular manga/anime series “Hayate the Combat Butler” (????).
GTV is reportedly going to be paying for all expenses including plane tickets, hotel rooms and meals for the actress as well as her manager and assistant. She will also be bringing her own personal
hair and makeup artist along during the two month filming period.
In preparing for the role, George Hu has been put under extensive training such as practicing martial arts, dancing, as well as singing. As the all-purpose combat butler, George is confident in showcasing not only his fighting skills, but also his ability to do house chores, “I’m great at cleaning the house. I’m also okay at cooking.” He even revealed that he once thought of becoming a chef too.
When Park Shin Hye visited Taiwan in the beginning of August, she met with George and had a hot pot dinner together. They didn't interact much due to the language barrier. George described Park Shin Hye as being “very quiet, skinny, and very cute," and looks forward to working with her.
As for GTV's other high profile project, "Extravagant Challenge", they have yet to make an official announcement on when filming will begin. Despite recent casting rumors, there was no mention of the drama's participation in the upcoming Taipei Television Festival. In addition to "Hayate", Meteor Garden producer Angie Chai will also promote her remake of "My Girl" starring Jimmy Lin at the showcase.
