Cast of “My Wife Got Married” walks down the aisle
by javabeans
Getting in character for their upcoming film My Wife Got Married, stars Sohn Ye-jin and Kim Joo-hyuk dressed up as bride and groom for their movie press conference on September 23.
The movie is based on a novel of the same name, and centers around its pure-hearted romantist (Kim Joo-hyuk) and the free-love-espousing Sohn Ye-jin. Whereas the guy is just an average guy, he contrasts sharply with his “shocking” wife, who tells him, “I don’t ask for the stars or moon, I just want one more husband.”
Yes, maybe a little shocking. Co-star Kim Joo-hyuk even expressed his difficulty understanding her character at times.
Jung Yoon-soo (Are You Living With the One You Love?), who directed the film, explained, “Rather than explaining this difficult-to-understand Ju In-ah character [Sohn Ye-jin] like a teacher talking to a class, I tried to embrace her with love, and show her lovable side.” Jung also spoke of swapping gender roles, showing a woman in the role formerly occupied by men, of having had many past lovers. It raises the issue of the discrimination that often gives men allowances for behaviors and traits that women aren’t “allowed” to have.
Sohn is described as portraying her character with lively and cute charm, and the question will be whether audiences will embrace her — and the film — despite her nontraditional character.
My Wife Got Married opens on October 23.

I can't wait for the movie. I've always liked Sohn Ye-jin.
i like the gown and it looks good!
The plot of the movie seems interesting too.
This double standard wherein its "admirable" for a man to have lots of lovers but it's a bad thing for women to be "experienced", I want to see how its tackled in this movie

Sohn Ye Jin is truly a classic star & she's my favorite since The Classic movie! I hope she's teamed up again with Jo Seung Woo as they were both great in The Classic. This film sounds interesting & it's something to look forward to! Sohn Ye always looks demure & has that beautiful smile!

I think the double standard is more from the male point of view. As in, they will congratulate one another if they have lots of lovers but will shun women who do.
Personally for me, I prefer my guys to have less experience :)

it sounds like it could be a hit or miss
if it gets too dry and just drags, even such a cute idea can be destroyed
tho the storyline is interesting, so i hope it is funny and romantic

I'd love to see Kim Joo-hyuk and Kim Ji Soo discuss this movie over dinner . . .
Ji Soo: This is a good role for you honey. It's about time that progressive roles are given to us actresses.
Joo-hyuk: . . .
Ji Soo: And I like Yeh-Jin so much. She's such a darling. It's a shame my show kicked her show's ass. Chuckle. Still got it.
Joo-hyuk: . . .
Ji Soo: Honey, how would you feel if I try out this free love? Honey?
Joo-hyuk: . . .

This can go very wrong ...I'm a female and I would label someone as a whore if they go around sleeping with other men while involved in a relationship (marriage even) with someone else.
I'm not sure how this movie will turn out ..but I'm not finding it "cute" at the moment.
Oh, no comments on the hooker heels? She must be pretty short.
