Lee Min-ho takes the lead in Personal Taste
by javabeans
Lee Min-ho has picked his next project!
Remember Personal Taste? Based on a popular novel, the drama adaptation had once been rumored to reunite Goong stars Yoon Eun-hye and Joo Ji-hoon, but after a lot of unconfirmed talk, the project fizzled. The story would have starred the male lead as a straight guy pretending to be gay to live together with the female lead and, well, stuff would ensue.
On January 11, Lee Min-ho’s management announced that he would star in the MBC drama, which now appears to be in different production hands. (The first round was to be directed by Kim Sang-ho, who did the comedy Fantasy Couple and horror thriller Hon.) Now the director will be Sohn Hyung-seok of family drama Job Well Done and Kim Sun-ah’s When Night Comes; writing is Park Hye-kyung of Stained Glass. (I think I preferred the first PD…)
Lee Min-ho’s role is of “Jeon Jin-ho,” who passes himself off as gay. His hobbies (?) include organization and ironing, and he’s known for his stoic poker face. He’s a stickler for cleanliness, but he also has a talent for figuring out women’s feelings.
Personal Taste hasn’t yet chosen its female lead, and will begin filming in late February for an April premiere.

OMG!!! I'm so happy they are going to have this drama! I was so upset that the drama fizzled cause the plot looks like a lot of fun. It'll be interesting to see Lee Min Ho play this, i think he was pretty good in BOF (especially compared to the acting of everyone else lol) but i think he still needs to prove himself despite the BOF hype.
i kinda hope Park Shin Hye will be in this drama....i am absolutely in love with her. She is adorable and an amazing actress ^.^ Plus i think she'll be cute paired up with Lee Min Ho :)

Who's gonna join me in hoping for Moon Chae-won? I think he and Moon (or even Park Bo-young) would be fantastic because they've known each other for years, before they were famous, so they'd have that friendly camaraderie working in their favor...

Now this is the type of storyline I'm talkin' about!
javabeans, I'm rooting for Moon Chae Won! She's a great actress, and plus I think she and LMH have chemistry, judging from that photoshoot they did a while back.

JB, I actually wish for YEH and JJH.
After Antique Bakery, I think JJH would be just perfect. And maybe YEH could use a little JJH to rekindle the magic...
But, if JJH is far far far away from being able to return to a drama, then LMH sounds okay. In that case.... how about Han Chae Young, dressed down, completely made over to be not so barbie-ish? She has acting chops, so it would be nice to see her in something where she plays someone not so on the edge of model-dom.

Ooh, I could be on team Moon Chae Won. It's about time she got a read role, anyways.
Let's hope we don't have another My Fair Lady on our hands with all the changes...

@okdubu,
Yeah, LMH and MCW have acted together twice, and he's acted with PBY at least three times. They're so cute:

Very exciting news, and the story sounds very promising. LMH looks a lot like Jae Hee in the picture with MCW. I'd love either pairing, inspired choices, JB (as usual, spot on!). But I think MCW is due for a breakout role, whereas Park Bo Young is already a shiny newly minted movie star with Speedy Scandal. I would watch it no matter what just to see whether LMH is as good as I remember him in BBF.

This sounds like a great series any of the three girls would be good but my fav would have to be Park Bo young or Park Shin Hye.
Its's a pity that JJH is no longer in the running I have a soft spot for him and he would have been perfect for the role. Good luck to him in the future.
Looking forward to this series.

How about Sandara Park as the female lead? Heck, I don't care if she's the 2nd female character. I guess I'm the only one who saw chemistry between them in those CASS CFs.

Lee Min Ho is cute and I want to see him in another drama. However, I can't picture him in as gay or even pretending to be gay. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to Personal Taste. Sounds fun.

AHHHHHHHH! I was sad when i heard that this drama wasn't going to get made. The general plot is so predictable but it'll probably be REALLY entertaining. I'm excited :)

@javabeans
when i read your first comment, i thought they wouldn't look good together but after seeing the picture, i now understand why you think they'd be perfect ^^
they do look cute together..but i'm rooting for Park Bo Young... I really thought she was great in the speed scandal..and i think it's about time she stars in a good drama...
