Yoo Gun and Sohn Hyun-joo’s Drama Special
by javabeans
The next episode of KBS’s Drama Special features an odd-couple pairing of pretty face Yoo Gun (Mazzang, Hello God) and veteran actor Sohn Hyun-joo (Sons of Sol Pharmacy, Neighbor Enemies), known for comic roles that range from old bachelor to cranky bastard.
The selection is titled Texas Hit, in which Yoo Gun plays a twentysomething delivery guy for a grocery store who also works as a computer technician. He loses the money he’d been saving to send his mother in Sports Toto (betting), and starts to dream of turning things around by hitting it big.
He teams up with Sohn Hyun-joo, and embarks on a “risky escapade” in search of that big score. The drama episode also features former baseball player Kim Kwang-hyun and Comrades‘s Jeon Ye-seo.
Texas Hit will air this Saturday, the 23rd, on KBS.

I remember him from the movie "My Mighty Princess" with Shin Mina. I loved the tune that played every time Shin- Mina's character saw him pass by on his motorbike...Super cute!

Actually every time I see Yoo Gun, I can't help but giggle and remember his debut in the boy band O.P.P.A way back when. omg..it's like one of those awful prom pictures in high school that you NEVER EVER want to see again.
And seriously, the name O.P.P.A?! Laughingly cringe-inducing I tell ya!

Son Hyun Joo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMAGAHHHHH, I LOVE this ahjussi. I haven't been watching the Neighbour Enemy drama, and feel a little guilty. But I dunno, I caught a wee bit of it, and I don't find it particularly interesting. Did you have any opinion on it, JB?
But this one is definitely on my to watch list. Man, Drama Special just keeps churning out small little treasure huh.

Hey howdy, neighbor, but I have a feeling this has nothing to do with Texas proper. I gathered from the early bites that the 'Texas' was a nickname given to a type of 'hit' (gambling? who knows?).
That said, if features Sohn Hyun-joo, whom I just find a pleasure to watch no matter what he is in, so I'm in for this!
(And, Ora, you'll have to let us know if you want to be in on our Texas Round-up in February. There's four of us meeting to do a K-drama-fest and eat-a-thon, but we're from Texas, so all kin are welcome!)

I loved him in Hello God. Kim Ok Bin and Lee jong Hyuk from that Drama made it big already...
But Yoo Gun went from playing a lead to an extra in Procecuter Princess (Not even an important one)....I really am waiting for him to make it big

What happened to Yoo Gun? He is pretty good actor in Hello God. He has the looks and talent. The past few years he has only playing side roles. I didn't even know he still acts until now. I hope he can be a lead in a drama soon.

Yes, he's always been a Won Bin doppelganger. Brothers, at least.

I've always thought Yoo Gun is the least "Korean-looking" of the Korean TV actors (even compared to the likes of Daniel Henney!). I don't know what it is about it him, but I was sure he was half for a long time. When I first saw him on TV I thought he was Italian or something...weird.

yoo gun is a hot and talented guy, he was in fight, dasepo naughty girls, mighty princess as a lead, pros princess as a extended cast, he hasn't been able to break out and get those main roles, is he lacking in acting or is it that star quality
i remember watching him in fight and that performance stood out for me, though the whole drama was exactly like fight club but based in korea, his role and determination was great but lately it seems he hasn't been able to get those main/lead roles
i wish him all the best on his future works

I've only seen YG in the film 2006 "Project Makeover" where he plays a nerd (lol), so can't really comment on his acting (he did an OK job in a limited role in "PM").
I do find it funny when YG is referred to having a "pretty face" when he and others (such as Won Bin), while handsome, have masculine features unlike other so-called "pretty" actors/celebs like Jang Geun-seok and Kim Hyun-joong (neither of whom are really that "pretty") who have softer, more feminine features.

I'm so happy you continue to post about the Drama Specials, JB. I'm enjoying watching (some of) these.
I thought Kim Gab-soo was going to be in Texas Hit, too? Hmm.
Yeah, sad Yoo-gun got relegated to playing the gossipy office bitch in PP. Funny, love-to-hate kind of role but it was a real waste of his talent.
Anyways, looking forward to watching this at some point.
