Details on Sora's role in 'Jejudo Gatsby'
It has been confirmed now that Sora will play for a character named 'Lee Jung Joo' in drama 'Jejudo Gatsby' (working title) that will be aired around May via MBC. Losing both of her parents, Lee Jung Joo raises her one and only younger brother herself and lives a hard life being the sole breadwinner for her family.
Although her only dream is just to buy a comfortable house to live in but her younger brother who has been secretly dating a co-worker, took away their apartment's deposit and ran away to Jejudo and bought a deserted house there. To find her brother & the girlfriend of his, Lee Jung Joo took a flight to Jejudo and she then met the man lead character who runs a restaurant named 'Baek Gun Woo'.
MBC representative said, "It is a strong character that create her own success without any help from her family just like her role in 'Misaeng'. Although 'Lee Jung Joo' is a role of a perfect career woman but the character itself will be different from Sora's role as Ahn Young-I in 'Misaeng' who was struggling so much because of her father."
Originally Lee Jung Joo doesn't know the existence of her mother. But while she's in Jejudo, she decided to meet the woman that was on a picture left behind by her father. She then found out that the woman is actually her own mother who is now living as the lady of the house of a chaebol family and mother to Baek Gun Woo. Since the setting of the story makes Lee Jung Joo and Baek Gun Woo could be sibling or even twins, 'Jejudo Gatsby' will focus on the birth secret of them two (Lee Jung Joo & Baek Gun Woo) as the main material of its story. The role of Baek Gun Woo will likely be played by Kim Woo Bin.

** So far, I found only 1 article that confirmed her casting in the drama. So I'm not sure 100% about the accuracy of this news. Let's wait for more articles tomorrow.
