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.

And the fangirls go wild. I'm excited about this as well, but I'm really curious about who will be the female lead opposite him as she is the main character. Don't know a lot of older Korean actresses, but I hope they get a good one.

@77 cathy
me too actually. I still can't quite accept big age gap difference pairing for more than 10 years old, less than that is okay, I guess. As long as the guy is not too young-looking. Well, probably because the society that I'm living now is one that hardly accept this kind of relationship. But yeah... I guess it's a trend now, I hope it won't be a trend IRL though. I still love my oppas than dongsaengs :P
I hope YEH or LDH as well. Not Kim Sun Ah please, although I'm a fan of her. But I guess, she would look like his mother if she's paired with him. IMO :)

Hoo-hah! I hope he will be paired with Ha Ji-won or Sue Ae. Either way, I can't wait for this movie to be released.

happy, happy day for me! looking forward to the female lead. can't remember the name but the one in Partner (not the female lead) may be a good candidate too. if su ae won't change her mind that is. Still, JGS will carry the role very well, methinks.

Aargh! Not too fond of the whole ballet thing, I liked the original homeless tramp character that Matsu played.
Aaah well, since it's JGS he'll make it work for him, 'cus it's wut he duz, fool'!

Now that I think about it, I don't think there's a better Korean actor to do this remake.
And to whoever suggested Ha Ji-won, DO NOT GET MY HOPES UP! lol.

I dont know about the femaie lead, but after watching the jdrama version again, the best friend lead reminds me a lot of Lee Hyori for some reason.
Can't wait for this movie!!!

I'm so excited that this has finally been confirmed. I really look forward to JGS in this role -- I love that as he's gotten older, he seems to be looking for more challenging works with lots of character depth to explore. I love that he's going for such a non-traditional leading role and love story. I just hope they find the right actress to play opposite him -- this is a very different kind of story, and both roles are great opportunities for strong, daring actors.
Cool!

I love Kim Sun Ah but I don't think she has the "serious" vibe down. There's something really endearing about her voice--that's not the female lead's description and (what I find to be) her charm. She's supposed to be (I think) a serious, straight-laced, I-ain't-havin'-it kinda woman. Su Ae. Definitely. Ha Ji Won's a bit too young and frail. Su Ae can be strong and fragile when necessary.
I am over-thinking this, I know. (shaking head)
Regardless, you know I'll be watching this and keeping my fingers crossed that they'll turn this into a series :0 )

OF COURSE!
I DO agree with you --- @ Miszronaldo #2 --- I hope Yoon Eun Hye should take the leading female lead in THIS incoming movie! Lolz, I can imagine that 2 people -- Jang Geun Seok and Yoon Eun Hye would enjoy together so funnny while acting like that! =)
Oh gosh, he seem sooo cute with his curly/messy hair from this pic, oh yeaaa! =) Especially, I really love Matsumoto Jun from japanese version movie, oh gosh.....
