Perhaps you have heard of the big news that the production of The Drops of God featuring BYJ has been cancelled. According to reports using various wine labels in the manga would violate the advertising law of South Korea so Keyeast decided not pursue the project.

Hmm...I'm happy about this. I don't like this manga, really.
Dear Hyds and Bae sisters:
Greetings notwithstanding snow and freezing temps even from BYJ's end.
We should be happy that Baeyongjoon has decided to cancel production of Drops. From his brilliant performance as lover, warrior, king and magician in the "Legend", it will be a drop to a wine connoisseur. We think it is a wise career move. Perhaps, he should just concentrate on being a perfect Ambassador of Culture and Tourism for 2010-2012. That is a new and difficult act to swing. The best is yet to come!

Hello Mandy, I only saw bits of the manga so don't really know the entire story. Suppose it's not meant to be.
Dear Josephine,
I feel that there is a mixed respond to this news. To start with I was disappointed but thinking of what you said BYJ could do more interesting projects. This is just a blip and hopefully we'd see more of him this year.
Keep warm.

Considering the fact that the authors of the manga wrote the role of the older brother with BYJ in mind, it's very disappointing that he wasn't able to overcome South Korea's strict laws about indirect advertising to make a drama work.
I was dreaming that he'd come to California wine country for some research, too. My dream is shattered! : (
I feel the same Tammy. My interest in wine and the knowledge I gained was due to that but anyway thanks to him. I think those who studied to become a Sommelier felt the same. Just happens though..
