Flower Boy Ramyun Shop’s press conference
by javabeans
Yum yum yum.
The cast of tvN’s new Flower Boy Ramyun Shop showed up for their drama’s production press conference on October 27 at Seoul’s CGV theater, and they’re all looking adorable. And while lead actress Lee Chung-ah is looking fresh and flirty, I can tell you she’s not the one(s) I’m looking at.
Why hellooooo there, Jung Il-woo! I love that he’s playing the youngest role he has in years, while Lee Ki-woo just got out of the army, and yet they look the same age. Even if their characters — the Ramyun Princes? We need a nickname, stat — have got to be about a decade apart.
As you probably know by now, the drama is a romantic comedy centered around a ramyun shop: The heroine runs it, a talented chef cooks at it, and a high school chaebol owns it. On top of that, a staff of young pretty boys is brought in to work at it. It’s Coffee Prince-esque in setup, except with a different configuration of the main love triangle. I’ve seen enough boss-assistant romances where the woman’s always the assistant, so I’m looking forward to seeing one where the heroine’s the noona to our hero. He may have his chaebol weight behind him, but she’s got age privileges, and that means she’s got a certain ability to boss him around some, too. I can’t wait.
The drama is directed by Pyo Min-soo, who is a respected PD who hasn’t really had a ratings hit in years but whose projects I find refreshing, each in their own way. He’d struck it big (huge, enormous) with young love in Full House, then went after slower, more thoughtful work for a while (Insoon is Pretty, The World They Live In), but has been coming back round to lighter, more comical material (Coffee House, You’ve Fallen For Me). I think he has a pretty good hand with youthful romance, so I’m hoping he brings out all the fun and zest that a premise like this has to offer.
Aside from the main trio, the drama also features a cast of new faces, starting with actress Ho-su, who appears to be making her drama debut in this project. The trio of actors posing together are Do Sang-woo, a 23-year-old model and vocalist; Song Jae-rim, a 26-year-old model and actor from movies Grand Prix and Actresses; and newbie Jeon Bong-hyun.
Pictured below them are Park Min-woo and Jo Yoon-woo, two more new faces with fresh resumés.
Flower Boy Ramyun Shop premieres on tvN on October 31 and airs on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I know Jung Il-woo is very tall but the second lead guy is taller. I wonder how tall he is. He looks so CUTE! I never see him in any drama. I still love Jung Il-woo. And I just spot another cutie in the grey suit at the right hand corner before the last pix. This drama is full of cuties. Swoon!

Thank you so much for the info MJ. I really appreciated. He looks like he is about 24 and he is actually 30 already? He had all that dramas and movies done and I did not know of him. Where have I been? Actually I saw A Love to Kill and only remember Rain for some reason but did not recognize who Lee Ki-Woo was. I have to go back and watch that drama again. How can I miss such a cutie like him.

Those boys are sporting some...interesting fashion, but I can't really comment, because I'm not really looking at the clothes.
And I am so, so excited for this! I originally thought that the heroine would be paired with Lee Ki-Woo, so knowing that it's actually Jung Il-Woo is making me so excited!

Me too! Totally cracked up. I'm so stoked for this. Especially as I marathoned episodes 18 to 22 of TPM last night and went to bed crying for my favorite character, Jung (and Kyung-hye, they come as a pair). Seriously, drawn and quartered?????? ACK! I know it happened, but it still is a total shock to the system.
Give me some FBRawr Men. Stat.

I should say...have only made it through Episode 2 because sometime within the last 2 weeks someone uploaded all episodes (in good quality, too!) with Eng subs of Sang Doo, Let's Go to School and I'm on Episode 7 of that :) Yay Rain! I think this is the only series I hadn't seen anything of so far and I couldn't find it anywhere, viki etc all had broken links, every where I checked.

"Rawr Men" - my thoughts exactly cingdoc!
(BTW *waves* and belated greetings for those who were around the OT during the City Hall mania days! Awww so fun)
Hmmm I suggest 'Raawwr Yum Men' could apply too....
Wholy skyscraper - Lee Ki Woo is taaaallllll. He makes Jung Il-Woo look short. While I am still not able to endure 'Star Lover' to finish it (really my eyeballs protested in pity for Choi Ji Woo's eyeballs and could not focus at all...at all) I have always found his roles suprisingly memorable. Esp 'Sad Story'
And if they ever need to cast a sibling for LKW I would vote first for cutey Kim Bum (who is also looking mighty fine(r) and as I am convienently a member of ICOMYM, I chose to keep oogling!)

i love jung il-woo and all but i'm actually in for LEE KI-WOO. I know he's never really played outstanding roles, but I love the actor. he's got this refreshing feel. i've had this crush on him since 'bad women' (where kim bum was in too!!)

OMG the second lead is freakin' huge! He makes Jung Il Woo look shorter, who is apparently 6'1'' tall. Maybe Lee Ki Woo's height is ranging about 6'4'' to 6'6''. He's tall alright! But my heart still belongs to Jung Il Woo. =))) Can't wait til the 31st.
