Jung Soo-young to marry on Friday
by javabeans
Comic actress Jung Soo-young (Coffee House) has announced her upcoming wedding just a day in advance. Jung also announced that she is currently two months pregnant; the couple kept their plans under wraps to keep the affair low-key.
The groom is her boyfriend of six years, who is a stage actor the same age as she is. Jung debuted on the stage in a 2000 play, and acted in musicals until making the leap to the television screen in 2006. That debut role brought Jung to the national spotlight when she stole scenes as the wonderfully daffy Kang-ja (Han Ye-seul’s crazy friend) in Fantasy Couple. (It’s still the character she’s most known for; in fact, some articles announcing this news refer to her as “Kang-ja.”)
She followed that with more batty characters like Hwa-ja in Queen of Housewives, Boo-mi in City Hall, and Ga-yeon in Hero. Currently, the 28-year-old Jung is acting in SBS’s Coffee House, which means the couple will be delaying their honeymoon until she’s free.
To be honest, while I love Jung Soo-young — she’s so quirky and odd — I’m disappointed with her part in Coffee House, because she’s just so normal in it. She’s not portraying the character badly; it just fails to give her the chance to be her awesome wacky self. But congrats to the happy couple!

lol... I like her in Coffee House. Perhaps she appreciates the opportunity to play a more normal character from time to time.

Aww. That's sweet. I hope they have a wonderful marriage and a healthy baby. I agree about Coffe House, but it's just the character that's so simple and standard. A person can't always land interesting characters, I guess.
But she was priceless in Fantasy Couple. She was one of the best elements in that series. Hope she does another cooky role like that at some point, but she's still nice even as a normal character.

Yeah, I have no idea what her role is in Coffee House. Whatever it is it must be so minor as to be almost non-existent?

@maria -- I was gonna answer your question, then realized you were being sarcastic... oh, you! :-D
JSY looks stunning in that photo; I've seen her in a few other formal affairs and she always looks lovely.
Congrats to her! Wedding and baby, yay!

She looks nice here...weirdly enough when i first glanced at the pic though, i thought she was Nicole Ritchie...I dunno, craziness.
I'm sure she's glad to play a normal character for once though. after being typecast for a while, this may feel like progress for her.

wow, she's only 28?
I recognized her in Coffee House from City Hall. But I figured she must be older because of her role in City Hall.
Not that she particularly looks any older. But I just associated it with her after City Hall.
And she looks great in that pic. I didn't recognize who it was at all, probably because of the make-up and hairstyle.
Congrats to her.

Hm, now I can picture her. But in Coffee House it seems like it's all about the main characters, with very little showcasing (or development, so far) of the side characters. Think about the family characters, for example- they're funny but have very little screentime. I didn't see the last episode of Coffee House (Tuesday), though, so maybe I'm being unfair.

It seems like a trend now, and no body is bothered with it. Celebrities are proud to be pregnant first, then get married. It's not worth bragging about.
What Coffee Prince? Aren't the ratings plunge to the pit hole? 16 episodes? Maybe SBS should cut it to 10?
