Moon Geun-young confirmed for Mary Stayed Out all Night
by javabeans
Moon Geun-young and Jang Geun-seok in a romantic comedy together? Yeah, I’ll be watching.
Mary Stayed Out All Night is the manhwa adaptation that features Jang Geun-seok as a hippie musician, and now Moon will be signing up for a contract marriage with his character. Her Mary role is the daughter of a failed businessman and falls into a love triangle with an indie-band singer (Jang) and a perfect chaebol (as yet uncast).
Moon has been busy in her theatrical debut with the stage play Closer since August, and will jump into the drama as soon as the play wraps in October. It’ll premiere on KBS in October, airing on Mondays and Tuesdays after Sungkyunkwan Scandal wraps.
Seriously, sign me up! Moon has long been considered one of the best actresses of her generation, and she can wring emotion and intensity out of confused chaos (see: Cinderella’s Sister). She has, however, shied away from the romantic comedy genre, and I’d LOVE to see her tackle something light and fun. (Jang, as we know, is great in trendies.) The only rom-com I’ve seen her in is My Little Bride, which was AGES ago, but she was adorable in it.

I've never been on the MGY train, I have never really connected with her characters so I haven't been able to appreciate why she is so loved.
JGS on the other hand owns me heart and soul, all of his performances are enjoyable and I always fall in love with them so I'm definitely going to watch this if only for him. I just wish that he would choose something other than the role of a musician... he's done so many of those lately... but still there are different ways to interpret them.. so I guess I won't complain to much since I love it when he sings or plays the guitar...^^

Yeah! JGS and MGY, I love them both! I think they will really complement each other...2 young popular actors with 2 very different images coming together??? can't wait to see what will happen!!!
Can't wait to find out who will be JGS's rival...hmm...
And, I am glad MGY will finally be paired with someone closer to her own age! Can't wait for this!

Booyah, that's what I'm talking about. Now I'm excited. As adorable as Jang is, I wasn't sure I wanted to see him in another musician role - even if the character descriptions are different. But THIS! This I like. Go Team Moon and Jang!!!

YAY!! Definitely a must watch. Now as long as the script is good and the second male lead matches up to these two ( a hard feat I might add) this will be epic. MGY can definitely do rom com but rarely does it, if you watch my little bride, innocent steps, and many of her CFs, she has the comic timing (and she is adorable) and then add that to her acting talent on top of it and we all know how awesome JGS is in rom coms.

so happy to see her paired with an actor her own age!! keke i feel like she has always been matched with older men. even in little bride, kim rae won was slightly old (simply because she was underage at the time, and he was six years her senior. of course now, it would barely matter).
this and the lee minho news just made my night :)

hahaha that is true, all movies and dramas I see she acted with older oppas. Just in CS she got to act with someone 'Close to her age' but still a older oppa! lol I she is older than JGS for few months! Love heeer!!! <3

m actually both happy and sad. happy because i will see JGS again, in a rom-com that seems to be my type. sad because i can't still get over the JGS-PSH tandem. (in the philippines, if a "love team" is a hit, then they will have several projects together. so sad that in korea, it is hardly likely to see two actors be paired for a second time.)
i should wake up and accept reality. i've never really liked MGY, but i never dislike her either. though i do acknowledge the fact that MGY is a good actress. in fact, in my opinion, better than PSH. but i like PSH better.

i'll cheer on despite my heartache. JGS and PSH need to separate in order to grow, careerwise.

Then you are just a fangirl, who cares more about your idols than the real acting... that is sad. And plus can't get over a drama and so you won't have a open mind, and first thing you will say after see the new drama is going to be ''I would prefer if it was PSH.'' and this is just so...
I prefer not say nothing more...

September 13, 2010 at 6:21 AM
Oh! Btw, don't take me wrong, PSH is a good actress, not awesome like MGY but I really like her! And I would like to see her with JGS in a drama again, but not in a 'cute' drama again like YAB was.. after I saw their CF together, I really wished they did a pair more passionately. But well I can't help, MGY is just awesome, the best actress for me of the generation..

Do you guys realize that this means Jang Geun Seok will be battling round 2 against spies, this time with Athena?
Seriously, the main reason You're Beautiful wasn't at least a few points ratings higher was because it was airing against juggernaut IRIS.
And now Jang is getting to go round two against Athena - just not fair for the poor guy.
Imma have a busy Mon-Tues coming up. Of course, that is if Sungkyunkwang Scandal remains a 20 epper. If SKKS becomes a 16 epper, Mary might have bigger head start.

Alas, Moon Geun Young will have tough competition once again. In 2008 Painter of the Wind was up against Beethoven Virus and Kingdom of the Winds. = very tough, PotW had the lowest average ratings among the 3 but still brought in double-digit ratings.
This first half of 2010 Cinderella's Sister was up against Personal Taste and Prosecutor Princess. = moderate competition, CS had the highest rating among the 3 dramas but never reached her desired 30% ratings.
Now on the second half of 2010 this drama will be up against Giant(afaik it is extended)/Athena and Queen of Reversals. I would say it's a very tough competition once again. But since this is MGY we're talking about, she'll bring in ratings no matter what.
