Lee Jung-jin and Lee Min-jung in Wonderful Radio
by girlfriday
Here’s our first look at Lee Jung-jin (Runaway Plan B) and Lee Min-jung (Midas) on the set of their upcoming romantic comedy film Wonderful Radio. I don’t know what’s going on with Lee Jung-jin’s hair there, but perhaps it’s a character quirk? If they’re trying to go for unkempt hair as a character statement, they should take a note from Lee Seon-kyun. Go big or go home.
Wonderful Radio stars Lee Min-jung as a former idol singer from girl group Purple, who becomes a radio DJ. Lee Jung-jin plays a PD brought in to revive her flagging show, and the two butt heads over the new segment that he introduces. Love the setup. Love the pairing.
They’ll be joined by Lee Kwang-soo (below left), currently playing geeky Go Ki-joon in City Hunter, also mostly known for playing the sad sack version of himself on variety show Running Man. He’ll be Lee Min-jung’s manager, and in a surprising twist, he won’t be playing dorky, petty, or sad sack at all, but totally sweet and supportive. Aw.
Rounding out the cast is Jung Yumi (below right), not Crucible / Cafe Noir -Jung Yumi, but Dong Yi / Friend Our Legend / You’re My Pet -Jung Yumi. She’ll be playing a writer on the radio program. The film is directed by Kwon Chil-in (Singles, Hellcats) and is shooting for a fall premiere.
Upbeat cast, potentially great music, and a setup rife for bickering romance? Count me in.

I think I'm going to follow this one too. I haven't seen much of Lee Min-Jung but I think she's a very talented (and beautiful) actress thus far. :)

I'm optimistic about this one, the pairing and story are adorable. Hopefully, the director will avoid the things I didn't like about Hellcats and focus on the cute.

haha-- I barely recognized Lee Jung Jin with his boy-bouffant. Didn't watch Midas but I super love Lee Min Jung, and LJJ's great too-- looks like a winner! *crosses fingers*

Okay - am TOTALLY looking forward to this one!
I love everyone here, even our Running Man sad-sack!
From the get-go, they seriously need to FIRE the hairdresser. LMJ's isn't going to win any awards, either.
What is it with the ladies, lately?! With the exception of LDH in Miss Ripley and our CH, NaNa, the female haircuts suck. Lie To Me and You've Fallen For Me, in particular, the cuts are terrible on these young actresses.

Sorry - a bad haircut is still a bad haircut. These wavy blunt cuts are really unattractive - they look frowsy and just plain messy.

Dear Lee Jung-jin,
Please fire your hair dresser, STAT. She's not doing you any favors.
I still love you.
Love, Noona

love all of them. but i'm particularly supportive of kwang soo though:))) loved him in Running Man and I totally didn't understand why he was being bullied left right centre. And in the latest episode of RM I was surprised to see him being super popular in Thailand. LOL.
Ps: Lee Jung Jin's hair makes him look younger!!! I don't see what's wrong with it.... maybe i'm blinded by bias:D

poor KS puppy :/
He kinda captured my heart during his super short segment on SGB all those episodes ago
and his character on running man makes me hurt for him (did you see the HJ special? When they captured him in the bathroom? His frightened eyes were comedic gold but also kind of sad to see haha :D )

Why did LMJ cut her hair? If she wants it short fine, keep it sleep like the BOF days. That was cute. But wavy? Eh.
But she and Park Shin Hye pull it off better that others I guess.

Awww arent they the sweetest thing ever???
And KwangSoo as the soft-hearted manager? DAEBAK...
As a girl i need to give a BIG applause to MinJung for rocking that hairstyle, she is one of a few who can nailed every single haircut she had been given so far in all her dramas,movies,CFs,etc

I've loved LJJ since seeing him as the "cool" classmate in Once Upon a Time in High School... it's nice to see that he's had a lot of roles since :D
That said, super duper excited for this for reasons I cant really name; I feel like I've watched a couple of t-dramas, j-dramas with the same set up (heck, there was a K-drama like this too, no? Where the guy was a disgraced idol singer?)
Looking forward to this movie... so many cute quirky ones coming out; have to make a list lol
