Jang Geun-seok confirmed for You’re My Pet
by javabeans
Title says it all! It was previously reported that Jang Geun-seok would star in the movie version of You’re My Pet, but there was a conspicuous lack of confirmation following the initial report. Now the confirmation is out and the news is official.
The movie is based on the Japanese manga Kimi wa petto, which was turned into a Japanese drama series starring Matsumoto Jun in 2003. In this film adaptation, Jang Geun-seok’s character is a rising ballet dancer who dreams of becoming a musical actor and choreographer. He’s a playful and affectionate character who’s impossible to hate. (As if!)
Jang, who most recently played an easily irritable character in the trendy drama You’re Beautiful, said, “I always want to try new things. I wanted to take on a bright character in my next project, and You’re My Pet seems like it suits me very well.” He is currently busy with dance rehearsals before the film begins shooting.
The movie is aiming for a release later this year. No word yet on casting for the female lead, to whom Jang becomes the “pet” character.

everyone's already said everything i've wanted to say! i feel like a redundant, broken record, but
YESSSSS! WOOOOHOOOOOO! although i took it as confirmed long time ago, it's nice to see him with the heading you gave and this cute picture with his curly mop. he looked SOMEWHAT like jun matsumoto there...
and yeah, many people said this already but i am really curious who they pick as his leading lady. who's tall, graceful, and older than him? i don't know why my first thought was lee young ae... O_O or chae jung ahn!? or else i'll go back to my staple suggestion of kim sun ah! hehe

I am a huge Kimi wa Petto fan so I hope this movie does it justice. I pity anyone who has to follow MatsuJun's act, but JGS's performances have impressed me thus far...

Honestly, kimi wa petto was beyong strange to me and not even in a good way. But I'm glad to see Jang Geun Suk in a new movie though.

I wound not mind him as my pet one bit but I have a feeling he might be a disobedient pet.

I personally, would like to see Kim Sun Ah as the female lead although she might be a bit too old, which is disappointing. Maybe an actress with a similar vibe, ultimately they need someone who has great chemistry with Jang Geun Suk(who could probably make a fire with almost anyone).

I'm having an identity crisis! LOL!
Good for him. Kimi wa petto is one of my favorite j-dramas. He'll be up against the shadow of Matsujun, but can probably pull it off.

Kimi wa Petto is one of my all time favorite Jdrama! I'll be interesting how they're going to turn a series into a movie! nonetheless I'm really looking forward for this series-movie remake!

Since Ha Ji-won can't do Athena, she better strap on her stilettos and go PET JGS every night when she comes home from her high-powered job!
Seriously, JGS was seriously channeling his puppy dog drool all over HJW in Hwang Jin-yi, and this would reunite them and would allow JGS to most likely live out his real life fantasy towards his noona.
I am beyond excited for this movie, too cute!

@ ais730 and @ ColleenF-H
Do agree that Kim Sun Ah would fit that role perfectly, And she's not that
old. Look at her recent photoshoots. She looks fabulously young and cute.

oh god oh god - that put random images in my head!! >_<
hahahahha - it would be hilarious if he were reunited with ha ji won - except he'd be a lucky dog because she'd end up chasing him in the end! (no pun intended!)

curly hair, hairstyle look definitely make him look a lot like Matsumoto Jun in the original movie.. Guess that's the entire point.. we'll see how this movie delivers.
Thanks for posting.

Keeping my fingers crossed XD
