Hyun Bin’s comeback (times two)
by javabeans
Hyun Bin adds a film, I’m Happy, to his year-end plans, bringing his upcoming project count to two.
He’d first gotten his fans excited for his long-awaited comeback with the recent announcement that he would be returning to television by the end of the year. Cast opposite Song Hye Gyo in November’s KBS miniseries The World They Live In, it would be his return after a rather quiet three years (yeah, he did act in Snow Queen following Samsoon, but that drama met with lukewarm — if that — reception).
In the film, which started shooting at the end of last month, Hyun Bin plays a patient who connects with a nurse while in the psychiatric ward. I’m Happy will be directed by Yoon Jong-chan of 2001’s mystery-horror film Goosebumps [소름] and 2005’s Blue Swallow [청연], and co-stars Lee Bo Young (so, not exactly strong on the acting front then).
The release date for I’m Happy isn’t yet fixed, but it looks to be around the same time as the airdate for The World They Live In.

It's about time Hyun Bin makes a comeback. He's been away awfully long!

I love Snow Queen. I thought he matured as a actor in that drama. Can't wait to see Hyun Bin again.

Hmmmm..... He's back and I'm happy :) , although I'm not totally excited about SHK being his co-star just because I don't believe she can act like most Korean actors do, so I'll be worried that it may drag him down just like what happened to KSW in Bad Love. To describe mildly, her acting has always been bland. But I'll wait and see, it's just fair.

I'm glad to hear that he's taking-on more roles.
Glad to know that I'm not the only one that thinks Lee Bo Young's acting can be worked on. The fact that she gets cast to co-star alongside many A-listers eludes me.

In all fairness for that comparison of dragging KSW in Bad Love... I dont think the female actress' acting ability is the dagger in that drama. ( I didnt watch enough to see how bad she did, but I had enough of the script already) The script is just not workable!
I havent seen Lee Bo Young's dramas, so I cant comment on her acting. The synopsis of the movie seems like it'll be kinda one man show for HB with him delusionally thinking he's all jolly and life is peachy when it cant be more the opposite with his mental illness. But as his's gearing more towards sanity (with pretty nurse's care), reality kicks in... it'll be interesting to see. VEry challenging indeed. Lets see if he can surprise us.

Hyun Bin oppa! hehe. Glad he's back to filming and stuff. He looks like he gained some weight (like his Snow Queen days). Good for him. He and Won Bin should do a movie or drama together. Wouldn't that be somethin'? (I wish) Eye-candy all the way! Can't wait to see his latest film and drama. Hope it's good :)

@mookie: I agree completely that the script was not workable; however KSW acting ability, as it is quite good, made it so that people like me was able to watch it to the end, but it was a painful process because his co-star "was never with him" to make the "unworkable" workable. She was just not there, not at all. Acting alongside KSW, her acting ability, or lack of it, was too obvious. As my friend described it , "too" dead. :)

@mookie / row,
Ahhh, Bad (Cruel/Screwed-Up/Wretched) Love. The scene where the KSW-1000 chases down the bus -- like the unstoppable love machine that he is -- after getting run over will always haunt my heart. Sigh. :D
Lee Yo Won is actually a solid actress who otherwise had a great 2007 (Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, Splendid Holiday.) Her chemistry is a little cool against her costars, but I enjoyed their chemistry (they and Gong Yoo did a MV together way, way before they broke out.) The script was just not there, and there was little for them to do when the 2nd half of the show went.
I thought Cha Ye Ryun actually delivered the best performance of the group, especially given that she had almost nothing to work with. I hope she gets another shot at a support role or a daily drama.

Completely agreeing with Row here. Lee Yo Won has never hit me as a good actress. As much as I love ksw, I could not finish bad love. (thought this is a bit off topic considering this post is about hyun bin)
Back on topic. Hyun bin and song hye kyo are two people who I haven't seen for a long time and have lost interest in.

As the Chicago fan forum for K-dramas declared it, Lee Yo Won was a "purse dragger" par excellence in "Bad Love" -- no spark, sour expression, and most of the time too passive to live. Kwon Sang-woo must have been exhausted trying to wring a bit of life out of her. Let's hope there's more life to her (and believe me, my eyes would sparkle if I was lucky enough to be looking at Hyun Bin 'round the clock!) in this project. Let's hope he gets the majority of the screen time!

Can't wait for his comeback! Although, I don't really like SHG, and the plot turns me off, I'll consider watching it.

I really wanna see Hyun Bin oppa act again. But neither of these projects sound all that entertaining or really suited to my tastes. I mean...psychiatric ward?? Totally depressing, non?
