Lee Soo-kyung juggles two cable shows simultaneously

by javabeans

First things first: Man oh man, Jae Hee, it is so good to see you back!

But moving on to Lee Soo-kyung: IS SHE CRAZY??

Lee, you may recall, recently took a leading role in cable sitcom You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here — that show on the yet-to-premiere cable channel MBN that touts itself as the “Korean Friends.” That show has begun shooting and will air as a daily sitcom for 120 episodes, making its broadcast run about six months long. And yet, here comes the news that she as also taken on a leading role in another cable show, the Channel A drama Color of Woman.

Color of Woman is a Monday-Tuesday drama that premieres on December 5; You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here is a daily sitcom that premieres on December 5 also. What in the what? How on earth is Lee Soo-kyung going to headline both? Has she found the door to the fourth dimension and learned how to function without sleep? Or did she manage to figure out how to work that cloning machine, nixing the possibility of evil clones? ‘Cause that is some craziness right there, folks.

Color of Woman held its production press conference on the 29th, which is where these photos come from. The cast made do without Lee Soo-kyung, who was too busy shooting the other show to make it. Yeesh. I’m not surprised.

Color of Woman stars Jae Hee, and recently replaced Eugene (Creating Destiny) with Yoon So-yi (Warrior Baek Dong-soo) when the former’s sister was involved in a serious car accident that shook the actress up badly.

The drama takes place at a cosmetics company and showcases the fierce rivalry between two careerwomen, and depicts a “frank and bold romance.” That means sparks will fly as Lee Soo-kyung and Yoon So-yi face off in a showdown. Or many repeated little showdowns. Lee Soo-kyung’s character is free-spirited and possesses an appeal that’s simultaneously sexy and pure — sort of what has marked her own image for most of her career. She’s honest but not a pushover, and harbors lofty ambitions, which includes using her looks and wiles to snare a perfect husband and move up in the world.

That makes her the opposite of Yoon So-yi, who wants to succeed purely based on merit. Jae Hee plays the supposedly perfect chaebol man, which’ll make him a likely target for Lee, only he’s being set up to romance Yoon So-yi instead. Shim Ji-ho (Frozen Flower) rounds out the cast as a warm, gentle character who gets involved in friendships and potential lovelines with both ladies.

SHe has been cloned!!!!
There are ppl in Klala land that end a project and start another... but it looks impossible to work on both

However cable drama are 45+45 min while mainstream dramas are 70+70 min. Do the math

on to that...most sitcoms are 20-30 minutes! so I can see how she'd manage to do both at the same time~

Lee Soo kyung is either really brave or just flat-out nuts in attempting to film these together. That, or she has the stamina of an ox.

One thing for sure, if she collapses from exhaustion she won't be able to lay the blame on anyone but herself. Who knows? Maybe she'll sail through the next several months just fine.

Or maybe she's going through somethign and trying to keep busy? In either case, cloning would be the best option. Or that time turny backer thingie Hermoine has.

oh, is that who she is? I wouldn't have realized until you said "Soulmate" and something in my brain clicked haha. I like her too, and now I'm looking forward to this show. I don't dislike Eugene but since I hated Creating Destiny so much I shun away from everything associated with it.

I am surprised that the production company of Color of Woman will agree to that. How did she manage to convince both parties to agree to letting her do that?

psh. that is just physically impossible. Unless one of those drama's is all shot pre-production? if it's live-ish shooting...NO way in hell can she make it.

Why would they even cast her knowing all the risks the scheduling itself could pose?

Is it only me, or Jae Hee looks different? I can't precisely tell what it is, but I barely recognized him. Is it because of his time in the army or what...

Isn't the army supposed to do the opposite? Create angles?

If she agreed to do so, means that she can handle it. Possible one of them has started shooting already, and have some footage to show. Besides, I kinda feel that if everything is ready to go (script, most of all), shooting will go way more faster. Hope she will do great! Career woman :)

Love how you put the "fighting" pose picture of her on top. She's going to need all the help she can get.

I'm surprised she agreed to do this - she has enough experience shooting dramas to know how crazy it will get. Maybe dailies are less time-consuming? Good luck to her, anyway. I'll never complain about more Lee Soo-kyung on my screen, because I love her. Just hope she won't be endangering her health.

I was wondering why nobody praised her outfit. I love it to poieces. I love YSY to pieces, too :D
Maybe it was supposed to stand out without being flashy? Or to give a taste of her character's old-fashioned belief in hard work rather than trendy outfits.
Anyway, I'd like to get a blouse like hers ;)

I've loved Lee Soo-kyung ever since The Lawyers of Korea. I'm glad she's joining the cast, but not if it means she collapses from exhaustion! It's crazy enough when an actor tries to pull double duty on two shows over here, but in Korea with their liveshoots, how is it even possible? You think maybe she knows something that we don't? Like her character from You're Here X3 suddenly dies or gets introduced and then disappears for three months?

wait, so who's the female lead in this one?! Lee Soo-kyung or Yoon So-yi ?! I love Lee Soo-Kyung, but man, she's crazy...I'm pretty sure this drama will turns into a live shooting, so how the heck will she manages to do 2 shows at the same time?! aigoo...

Call her crazy to be doing 2 different dramas.

Hope she doesn't get her lines crossover (ex: says her character's lines for the Color of Woman on the set of You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here vice versa - saying her character's lines for You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here on the Color of Woman.) that would be very funny.

Hope she doesn't get a burnout. Lack of sleep. Lack of an appetite...weight loss. Running around from studio to studio doing 2 different dramas pure craziness.

mmm Jae Hee. He just oozes cool, I can't even. I might need a minute....

Crazy woman is crazy. I want whatever she's using to shoot two dramas at a time - a time travel machine, a time turner, a clone, or just extraordinary stamina and will power. If she's actually just crazy though, I think I'll pass.

Why Shim Ji-ho is carrying a dead crow on his shoulder confuses me, though.

The producers are even crazier to let her do this! How can you fully focus on your role when you're playing two of them. You're not going to give your best into that role.

There are so many actresses out there and yet sometimes it looks like they are lacking actresses.

I love her but man..does she need money or something!
