Newest Addition to Runaway (Domanja/도망자): Josie Ho
Hong Kong singer and actress, Josie Ho, is the latest actress to be added to the star-studded cast of Domanja (Runaway). Her addition is causing a lot of buzz over in Asia, mainly because she is the daughter of businessman Stanley Ho, who is apparently the wealthiest person in Macau, and among some of the wealthiest in Asia. His estimated net worth is said to be $1 Billion USD. (Think Asia’s Paris Hilton and you’ll understand what all of the commotion is about.)
All money talk aside, Josie appears to be quite the accomplished actress, and is said to be willing to take on roles that sharply contrast to her own wealthy upbringing as a billionaire’s daughter. I look forward to seeing her work. There’s no word yet as to which character she will play, but I have no doubt of her abilities, since this drama is filled with such talented artists.
The filming of Runaway is currently underway in Shanghai, and the drama is scheduled to air in the end of September on KBS2.
Congratulations, to Josie, from Cloud USA!

I like her. She was 1 of the bad guys in Street Fighter. Is she going to be good or bad in Runaway?

Hi, Jessica.
The jury is still out on that one. HanCinema reports that she’ll be playing a Chinese woman named Hwai, who chases after Rain (Ji-Woo), but that could mean chase as in romantically OR chase as in trying to hunt him down to kill him. When we find out for sure (if they don’t keep it hush-hush), we’ll clear that up either here or under the Runaway topic in progress on the Forum. Or hopefully someone will clear it up in a comment…
