Kim Jae-wook joins Mary Stayed Out All Night
by javabeans
…which will now be known as The Greatest Trendy Drama Casting EVAR. Okay, maybe just this year. But oh, happy day!
Jang Geun-seok AND Moon Geun-young AND Kim Jae-wook, together in a love triangle?? Where are you, November?
Mary Stayed Out All Night is the manhwa-adapted KBS drama that gets the heroine tangled up in not one but TWO contract marriages. Writing is In Eun-ah (Goong); directing is Hong Seok-gu (Kyung-sook, Kyung-sook’s Father).
Kim’s Jung-in character is a “perfect” guy with the kdrama triple threat of brains, beauty, and money, with whom Mary has been betrothed since childhood. Complications arise when she meets Mu-gyul, Jang Geun-seok’s free-spirited hippie/indie rock singer character. Yes, Kim is technically the second lead, but I’m expecting this to be an epic love triangle — at least I hope so. (The best love triangles are the ones that give me the most trouble deciding who to root for, because I like that angst to be as organic as possible.)
Kim Jae-wook made an impression with his pretty face in 2007’s Coffee Prince as “Waffle Sun-ki,” but has been, in my mind, just another beautiful celeb who had yet to prove any acting talent. That was until he took on the nuanced, volatile, and vulnerable character of the damaged chaebol in this year’s Bad Guy, and knocked that role out of the park. I was thrilled to see him break out and show real charisma and acting talent, which may have not been polished but was all the more compelling for its raw intensity.
I can’t WAIT to see this drama now!
Mary Stayed Out All Night airs in KBS’s Monday-Tuesday slot following Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and premieres November 8.

Rule 54 in kdrama law states:
Kim Jae-wook has to be shared equally among the sexes.

Oh I can't breath. All my favourite actors/actress in one drama. From You are beautiful, I can't keep my eyes off Jang Geun Suk and watched all his products again (movies,dramas, music videos, CR, interviews,...).I'm deeply in love with him. He's the best in his generation. Moon Geun Young was so so good in Cinderella sister.Her acting was so so deep and heartfelt. And Kim Jae Wook was even better than Kim Nam Gil in Bad Guy. This drama should be one of unforgetable dramas in my life.

I only saw Kim Jae wook in Bad Guy and his acting was quite good although I think he was kinda lacking in eyes and facial expression (Maybe because I compared him with Kim Nam Gil, who was just excellent in that department). But he is such a pretty boy, and just that will make me watch him, especially in romantic comedy. Can't wait to see him with JGS and MGY.

What an overload of pretty! This show should have been called Your Beautiful instead. Also I do wonder if MGY is thinking she is going to be upstaged by these two guys.

I didn't like him very much in BAD GUY, honestly, but I am loving the fact that Moon Geun Young is in this Kdrama. Only now if they can reunite her & Moon Chae Won together once again...(no, not as love interest). hahah

Hey, I felt the same way. As much as I like JGS, I was thinkin' KJW would totally fit as the lead instead of JGS cause he has that 'indie rock' personality already, and then BAM, KJW joins the cast---but as second lead and I'm not complaining. Good enough for me to watch *dies

Dear KBS,
Thank you for hiring the prettiest actors in the biz. Us fangirls appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Mellowyel
for real, how does it feel to be guaranteed gorgeousness by a TV station if you tune in Mon-Tue nights from 9-10 for three to four months??? heaven, I tell you.
Off to go read the manga now, and gear up for this drama. the next round of dramas after MGiaG, SS, IAL and PK don't intrigue me so much, so I'll be looking forward to this in a huge way.
