Chun Jung-myung confirmed for Man of Honor

First it was a rumor, and now it’s confirmed: Chun Jung-myung (The Duo, Cinderella’s Sister) has indeed been cast alongside Park Min-young (City Hunter, Sungkyunkwan Scandal) in the upcoming KBS drama Man of Honor, aka Round 2 for the PD and writer behind last year’s ratings titan Baker King Kim Tak-gu.

Also, it turns out that the title [영광의 재인] is a big ol’ pun on the main characters’ names: the words meaning “man” [재인] and “honor” [영광] are both also names, so you can read it Man of Honor, or you could read it Young-kwang’s Jae-in. Chun is Kim Young-kwang; Park is Yoon Jae-in. Get it? Get it??? I am simultaneously laughing and groaning — it’s so cheesy that it goes all the way ’round to being (sorta) funny.

It’s also a working title, so there’s always the chance it’ll change, although frankly I want them to keep it now. It’s SO corny. It’s like when girlfriday and I heard that Discovery of Affection (Ae-jung eui bal-gyeon, a pun on Ae-jung’s name) was being retitled the boring Best Love (Choi-go eui sarang), and were hoping that the hero’s name was Choi Go. Oh, puntastic Korea.

Chun will play baseball player Young-kwang, who used to be a hotshot hitter on a pro league team who’s now been downgraded to second string. He and a first-string player on his team are admitted to the hospital after sustaining injuries, where he meets nurse’s aide Jae-in.

Not much else is given about the plot other than that it follows the heroine as she overcomes hardships. It’s a fairly bland description, but if we look to the producers’ previous work, I’m pretty sure we can expect lots of dramatic twists and tense conflicts along the way. And maybe a birth secret or ten?

Man of Honor — or, um, Young-kwang’s Jae-in, HA — will take the Wednesday-Thursday timeslot after The Princess’s Man wraps, and premieres in October.

PIE!
I hope this has a good script.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to see him in a weeper. (Wanna see him in a shower, though.)
(Problem with the Duo was he had on way too many layers and they were always on all the time. ;) )

Baseball player can be a sexy and confident role, right?

Still don't like PMY with PIE...grrrrrrrrr.

LOL! Jomo... You are really silly!!!!!

I am wondering how he will lose all the weight he just gained for another role, or will he keep it on?

Did you read the article from last week? It said that he was at a fan meeting in another country and he had gained weight for a drama role. I'm looking for the article to post a link if you haven't seen it.

Thanks for the linky!

Those fan meetings are strange, aren't they?

Just you and a thousand of his favorite fans hanging out and chatting. Being stared at when you smile for their cameras* flashing in your face.

Do we do anything like that stateside, or is that what the Today Show audience is outside that big glass wall for safety?

12 kilos is 26 lbs! Shore looks good on you*, PIE!

he said on his fan cafe the reason he's gaining weight. Its a preparation for his new movie. He said If you gain weight, it is faster to shape a body... So yeah maybe he'll start working out :)) wooot and now in a drama, he's a baseball player!! i always imagine him doing what Taecyon did in the MV of It Has To Be You, shirtless!! LOOL!!

anonymous,

Hi! So I watched the video/MV. So why was a shirtless baseball player inserted into various clips from Cinderella sister? He was wishing he was competition for CJM?

I wonder if PIE will practice shirtless. There will definitely be a shower scene.

while i don't love park minyoung as an actress (she has a habit of trying to look pretty or cute in every scene, regardñess of the character or the emotion she's supposed to be conveying) i am glad she's getting roles and working hard.
as for chun jung myung, the only thing i've seen him in is what's up, fox?. i loved him in that! coincidentally, i only marathoned it a couple of weeks ago because i wanted to watch a noona romance drama.
anyways, i won't be watching this drama, due to time constraints, not being a fan of either lead, and the fact that neither the plot nor genre appeal to me.

I'm ambivalent when it comes to Chun Jung-myung, I find Park Min-young's acting to be mediocre at best and the plot doesn't sound all that interesting. But then again, I sort of thought the same thing of City Hunter's cast and plot before it premiered!

Love both actors, so I'll be looking forward to this one. How awesome is it to have an October drama lined up to watch when it's only August. Love kdrama land, there's always something to watch!
