There’s no accounting for Personal Taste
by javabeans
And to think, we almost had Joo Ji-hoon (Devil) and Yoon Eun-hye (Coffee Prince) back together in Personal Taste [개인의 취향], playing a straight guy masquerading as a gay guy to live with a straight girl (who harbors a crush on her gay friend but thinks he’s playing for the other team).
Now, not only will these two not be appearing in the drama together, the entire drama production has fizzled.
The drama had been in the pre-production stages, but PD Kim Sang-ho (Fantasy Couple) explains that the reason for this project’s demise was due to a difficulty in casting. Yoon Eun-hye pulled out of the project while the scripts were being written and they were unable to recast. Furthermore, Joo Ji-hoon’s involvement in the project was greatly “exaggerated” by the press.
Bummer. The drama, which was to be based on the novel of the same name, sounded like farcical fun in the making. Maybe I’ll just have to read the book instead.

That's a shame - I was really looking forward to this one. The story sounded like a fun one and I still have a crush on JJH form Goong.

Nooooo....this is so sad! My Korean is still a beginner level, so I've got no chance of reading this anytime soon : (
Well, I'll hold it in the back of my mind and hope that it gets picked up again in the future.

Yoon Eun Hye NEVER agreed to be in this drama to begin with. so no she didn't just pull out while the script was being written. The media just blew everything out of proportion
When news about her being in Personal Taste first circulated, Yoon Eun Hye immediately released a statement squashing the rumours saying that her taking this project and collaborating with JJH is highly unlikely.
Another thing, is that it was apparent she wouldn't take another romantic comedy for her next drama.

awww this drama actually sounded pretty interesting though I'm not a fan of Joo Ji Hoon's acting. And would this drama really be that hard to recast or were they writing this for Yoon Eun Hye and hoping to have the drama's success rest on JJH and YEH's star power?

"Personal Preference" cancelled, withdrawn from the planning stage "Yoon Eun Hye's rejection played a big part"
It has been revealed that the MBC drama "Personal Preference" has been cancelled. This drama became a hot topic when the possible casting of actress Yoon Eun Hye as the main lead actress was released.
Today on the 14th, PP's Kim SangHo PD revealed that the production of PP was cancelled. Saying, "We decided to abort it during the planning process" and that, "there were a number of reasons but we went through rough casting negotiations due to the excessive media coverage of the cast news which were released before official casting confirmation was done."
Kim PD also added that YEH was the one whom they most desired as their lead actress, but unfortunately they were in a situation where they were unable to proceed with the casting once they received rejection from YEH's side.
PP is a drama based off the romance novel of the same name, written by author Lee Saein. This drama was to be plotted around the life and instances of a frivolous lady who's after a gay room mate and the happenings between the two characters.
In addition, the actor to play alongside YEH was speculated to be YEH's partner from "Goong" Joo Ji Hoon, however Kim PD confirmed that, "I have neither met nor contacted Joo Ji H'oon's reps [regarding this]
The drama "Personal Preference" was meant to have been taken up by Kim Sangho of "Fantasy Couple" and acted out by lead actress of "Coffee Prince" Yoon Eun Hye, which had brought about hot attention.

Oh god. That is just SO sad.
I sort of agree with what someone said about YEH fans being REALLY passionate about everything YEH-related....seriously, almost fanatical. You don't see that a lot (like a group reaction towards a certain actor/actress/drama, etc...), that's why it tends to stick out...
But, I'm the same way with Lee Jun Ki, so I'm not judging anyone...lol...=)

the premise of "Personal Taste" reminds me (very loosely) of "Three's Company". Too bad it fizzled! =( it sounded very entertaining.

^ Haha, I grew up watching Three's Company as a kid but it never occurred to me that he was supposed to be faking gay. Imagine my shock when I heard about that in my college years.
