Song Joong-ki romances Han Ye-seul on the big screen

by javabeans

Sungkyunkwan Scandal’s fashionista Song Joong-ki is heading to the big screen for a rom-com movie, in which he romances Han Ye-seul (Will It Snow For Christmas?). Funny that she’s the noona now, when he was the oppa in Christmas — albeit in the past, so they never actually shared scenes. Also — is it weird that they played siblings in that drama?

The movie is titled 태어나긴 했지만, which means Although I Was Born or Despite Being Born. Song Joong-ki is currently working out the final details of the contract, and plays a guy who’s been unemployed for a while who then decides upon a dream to pursue. He matures as he meets Han, a woman who is only described as a persevering type.

Hm. Not much to go on with that description, but since it’s Song Joong-ki in a romantic comedy, I’m in. He’s fantastic at bringing playful, good-humored characters to life (as we saw in Sungkyunkwan and Triple), but he’s just as good being caring and warm-hearted (as we saw in Will It Snow For Christmas?).

It’s been a year since Song’s last movie (the adorable puppy movie Heart Is 2), and three since Han’s last (the flawed but easy-to-watch Miss Gold Digger). The director is Kim Jung-hwan, who seems to specialize in youth-oriented material; he worked on the high school series Sharp as well as the two Jungle Fish projects.

The movie plans to begin filming early next year.

"Also — is it weird that they played siblings in that drama?"
-Yes, but since it's SJK, I can push that to the back of my mind.

Gah, wish I could take a trip to Korea just to see this movie. Weird though, that Han Ye-seul has been cast in it, what happened with the You're My Pet movie?

"wish I could take a trip to Korea just to see this movie."

how I wish this would be in cinemas when I return for a visit too! but I'll have another problem... unless they show it with Enlish subtitles, I won't be able to understand it. :( All that I'd be able to do is read body languages, make the most with my v. limited Korean vocab, and ogle at SJK. :D

It'd be like watching dramas (raw) ;D

And then we'd be begging for a "moviebeans" to have recaps on the film ;D

Isn't that movie being pushed til 2011? I thought LSG would star in the role and film after he finished MSOAN. But I'm kinda behind in news, so I'm not sure if this is correct or if Han is still in (which, I very much hope to be true).

ditto....I was really excited by the "Kimi wa petto" project, but no information since march (I think)....
But now, JGS has already moved on, and HYS as well...
By chance, if anyone has any info about "Kimi petto", I'd like to know what's going on with that project....

Heh. He'd kept pushing the fact he wanted to be in something where he could love deeply and endlessly and all that, and obvs people picked up on that. Or he went searching for something like this.

I'm excite. +_+

in Ob&Gyn I could watch the drama just because of his OTP... he was awesome and shippy and I've swooned over the couple in every scene... the other ppl I just ignored ... they were the whole drama for me... he knows it and wants to prove it
btw he isn't on my fav list but if he does at least as well as in Ob&Gyn I'm in

oh yes, i will watch anything with SJK in it. although he and HYS did play siblings in WISFC, they never really interacted with each other, so i don't think it will be weird at all. and i kinda have a soft spot for HSY, who was totally kickass in Fantasy Couple (though not so much in WISFC, sigh), so, yeh, i think this movie's got the potential to be awesome.
