Kim Tae hee??? have she ever been in a romantic comedy drama???

kekeke i love tae hee and Seung-heon, but if it is going to be a rom-com, well its a different side i am going to see in them since they always go for the dramatic shows.... well i guess i saw Seung-heon in a rom-com movie before, it was just Okay... but still love them both...

i agree What the heck ending of lovers in paris... it was super buzz kill... Lovers was huh...? and city hall had a good start but didnt quite ended with a bang for me. i was super sad about that cause i super LOVE their main leads...

OMG finally my two favs. Even though they are not great actors, i still love them. I grown to love Kim tae Hee in recents years. NOt because of her works but rather her personality outsidde. She seems very down to earth underneath her goddess looks.

Dont let me down please!

I think I'll wait and see what comes after this instead.

Can't wait! love both these actors :)

can anyone remind me the ending for lovers in paris?? i forgt abt it...

Dear javabeans
Kim Eun-sook is not the main writer. She only provides guidance to the new writer Jang Young Sil, who is said to debut with her first work "My Princess".
Writer Jang was assistant to Writer Kim in three of her works "Lovers in Paris", "On Air", "City Hall".
Writer Kim is working on "Secret Garden".

well of the dramas of the writer i really liked lovers in paris ,but maybe one of the things that make that was kim jung eun and about kim tae hee ,i have a diferent perspective ,first i am a man / male so i am cautivated by her outside beautiful but i also think even if her acting isn't the best ,i think she was lovely in love story in harvard ,in nine tailed fox she wasn't very good ,but maybe was her character and the setting (i am also in the second episode in reality) ,in stairway to heaven ,i don't remenber well i watched it some time ago and in iris was ok ,at least her character was quite cool

Im so looking forward to this series!! Love song seung heon since summer scent!! He's gonna look so hot as a sole heir of a top chaebol corporation!!!
Hope the series would live up to the expectation!

All that stood out for me was "Fantasy Couple", a drama that I really really liked (maybe even loved?). It was comical for me, even if it was a bit slapstick (though you have to admit that it wasn't too slapstick that it got ridiculous). It wasn't overly dramatic and had little angst until nearing the end, so it was easy for me to enjoy. The fact that the main couple slowly fell in love was fine with me because sometimes I get tired if they get overly romantic at times. So, I think I liked "Fantasy Couple" for the story (and actors), but I wouldn't mind checking out this new drama for the directing.

I do share the same sentiment of java abt the writer. I hate the poor ending of lovers in Paris though I like the dialogues and how it is being presented the ending sucks all the beautiful things in Lovers. Same in On Air she - poor story but great actors; the only reason I watched lol....

I know nothing about this and have no opinion on this except that Kim Tae Hee is pretty.

Mostly I just wasnted to comment on the banner of that Coffee House guy - "I will have your tears for breakfast!"? LOL

I hate how the writer tends to reduce her female leads into pining putty puddle of a mess in the hands of the male leads. I think that era is gone.

Ugh, Kim Tae Hee... didn't really like her too much in IRIS. In fact, she ruined IRIS for me, but whatever. I'm a little dissappointed to hear that she'll be playing opposite Song Seung Hun when I'd rather see him with other actresses. Oh well. All the best anyway! :)

KTH wasn't that bad in IRIS. but she really needs to step up.
SSH's acting irks me more. he still hasn't convinced me that he is that great at acting as some fans claim him to be.

their both gorgeous actors but acting side needs to step up.

Song Seung Hun + Kim Tae Hee = Win.

Now we just need a new series for...

Won Bin + Song Hye Kyo and I'll be in k-drama heaven!

wow!

looking forward to this one!

Why is it that the names of so many Korean dramas and movies start with "My"?

I was wondering what was happening to this project! I'm interested in seeing SSH in a rom-com, I hate his gangster-wannabe roles. Ugh. I just hope this will be a light drama and that these two will be able to compliment each other. *Fingers crossed*

From appearance, both are handsome and beautiful.
From acting skills, both never give me awe till my jaw dropped.
However, I was entertained with Cityhall and On Air though.
So combination of all? Probably mediocre k-drama? We will see...

hey, i love romcom. and its high-concept meet-cute, that means i wont be overdosed with cuteness that looks like retard (like some romcom dramas are).

i've never seen these 2 in rom-com, so i am pretty much eager to see this drama. and how can i resist to watch when most goodlooking couple is there. keke..

@Kobe: agree.
Won Bin + Song Hye Kyo = heaven

I have a feeling this one will be really really bad. I don't like any of the actors or the writer.

Ha, hope they prove me wrong. :p

i don't like kim tae hee at all.she is just beautiful and doesn't have that much acting skills.i hated her in Iris.i loved all the things about it exept her.but i like seong seung hun and i really want to see him in com-rom drama.i 'm really tired of his tearful roles.hope it would be good.although i don't like KTH opposite SSH.

WOW its like pretty people paradise!!! :D I wanna watch it just for this :D

since I have seen KTH in stairway to heaven I realized I have to stay away from her cause watching her act specially with her eyes was painful and it hurt me so^^

The concept of the show is similar to PRINCESS DIARIES. You can read the character descriptions @ Viikii. SSH will be in charge of training KTH to a princess even though he doesn't want to , and apparently he'll be 'the devil' to her...

You guys are bringing up the Kim Tae Hee hate all over again, just like before IRIS aired. Keep in mind it's just a rom-com. When was the last time you saw a rom-com drama with brilliant acting? Boys over flowers? Goong S? Exactly.

aX: couldnt agree more with you! She totally ruined IRIS for me! It would be so much better if they cast someone else ...i dont see the chemicals between LBH and KTH...hence there wasnt even a single memorable epic scenes between the 2 leads.

Gosh, am looking forward to SSH's comeback ...but the pairing is just not attractive.Knowing the downside of SSH's (lack of acting substance) the least they could do is to cast someone who could actually act but still looks drop dead gorgeous aka Son Ye Jin!

No doubt KTH is so pretty and all but it is also a well known fact that her acting sux!!!! Even Park Si Yeon (who happens to be credited more for her looks than her acting skills) has improved tremendously from her last project Coffee House.

KTH's only facial expression (happy, sad, angry) is solely rolling her big eyes with her cute mouth opened. As much as i love her good looks...sorry she cant act!!!

Rom-com... City hall... I think I miss kim sun ah unnie LOL (sorry cant help it)

Maybe like Park Shi Yeon they will do better in a romantic comedy =)) Hope this one turns out well , I like princess related stories ^^

I love both Kim Tae Hee's beauty & acting. She is my type. I love her in both IRIS & LOVE STORY in HARVARD. They are
all best dramas. Please do not confuse between actress & her character in Stairway to Heaven. She expresses the antagonist well. In Stairway to Heaven, she was assigned the role of the step sister who is bad, cruel & she successfully expresses the cruelty of step sister. The more u hate step sister, the more she did her job well.
I'll see this drama My Princess.

yeah, park shi yeon hardly gain any fans before CH, but after then, everyone just love her (including me :D).. kim tae hee never had a chance on romcoms. so this is a good chance for her.
and i bet, all other lovable actress (including your (haters) fav actress) wont gain many fans too, if they didnt acted in rom coms.

So weird. The ONLY reason for me to watch that princess would be because of writer Kim Eun Sook. The "City Hall" was an unforgettable masterpiece - sorry, haters. We really must not have seen the same episodes especially not the last one.

Thanks for the javabeans. Glad that there are new developments about My Princess. It was also said that production already have other vital casts signed on. So I wonder, who might be the second leads?

^^ My bad. It should be thanks for the update, javabeans! Very nice blog, by the way! :)

Wow, perfect combination KTH-SSH. Hope the storyline is really good & deserve the hot casts. Best wish for this drama. FRankly, I like drama Love story in Harvard than drama Dae Jang Guem. My opinion, Dae Jang Guem is historical, a little bit draggy not suitable for student like me.
Almost all students love to study in Harvard & devote to society like couple in Love story in Harvard. Adults also wish they can come back to university, or get additional training to get better job, success.

Gossshhhhh, Is this my bestie favorite actress? (squeals) ^_^

I always adore Kim Tae Hee since I had seen her in that drama "Stairway to Heaven" for my first time! (about years ago, I guess so. ) =)

I hoooppppeee that this incoming drama will be good and fun-romance between 2 of them! **FIGHTING!!**

no i am sure kim jung eun was one of the things that make me like lovers in paris

Hello javabeans; i am usually a silent reader of this great blog but i was forced to get out of my laziness by your comment on cityhall. As u can guess from my nick i am big fan of this drama and specially the great acting job that Cha seung won and kim sun ah performed. And part of my crazy fan mode was not only due to the good looks of CSW or the incredible chemistry between the main leands but also the dialogs (jo guk love confession was really something, the political speeaches were enjoyable, the dialogs between the bureau directeurs of inju were hilarious etc)
The drama like all k-drama had his loopholes and inconsistencies but the writer did for me quite a good job.
I am curious: which k-drama scenarist do you rate the highest and for which drama?

@ #7 TSH: That's what I heard.. that Kim Eun-sook is not the main writer. She's just going to be supervising her former assistant who will actually write this drama.

AGREED. i agree with all you said. i HATED the ending for lovers in paris, hated the speed of lovers even though the cast was pretty good. and omg. i'm ok with song seung hun and kim tae hee when they're separate because they've always had strong leads beside them. Like Lee Byung Hun and Kim Rae Won for Kim Tae Hee and Song Hye Kyo, Lee Da Hae, and Yeon Jung Hoon for Song Seung Hun. But having two weak leads? ...i'm skeptical :( they need at least one strong and solid actor...and i think both lack that a just a bit...

Is it only me finding both leads are tooo old for rom-com?
And JB, you shouldn't bring that up, the ending of Lovers in Paris .......O_O!!! everytime.

To all who hated City Hall or have oodles and oodles of criticism about it and its writer, please do one thing: be a writer and see if you can make one that can translate into a drama, or a movie or even a comic book! Any writer whose work (whether good or bad, whether we liked it or not, whether it became a success or it flopped) but was able to have her work transformed into a drama, a movie or even a comic book is a WINNER!

will the jaebeol thing ever get old??

your comment about writer KES really turned me off. "hate" is a strong choice of word. before voicing your opinion about Kim Eun-sook, i highly recommend you to watch city hall.

Yay!! I get to see Mr. SSH in a drama soon!! Wish it would come sooner!

Thanks for posting Javabeans!
