Alpha girl Kim Sun-ah in I Do, I Do
by javabeans
“Alpha girl” is the descriptor for Kim Sun-ah’s “super careerwoman” character in MBC’s upcoming I Do, I Do, which we see in these first stills to come out of the show. I’m pretty sure careerwoman is an adequate word without the exaggeration of super, so unless she saves the weak and oppressed using nothing more than your standard stash of office supplies, I’m thinking it sounds silly. Damn, now I want to see the show about the superwoman who saves the world with paper clips and 3-hole punches.
The drama tells the story of Hwang Ji-an, a workaholic shoe designer who gets knocked up by a young newbie employee, played by Lee Jang-woo. As if that weren’t complicated enough, she then meets Park Gun-hyung (Syndrome), a charming and successful doctor who comes from a family of doctors. He chose his specialty because he didn’t want to work in a field where he’d have to convey bad news all the time, which is why he went into obstetrics.
As in, her doctor? Nooooo, walk away! What is it with Kim Sun-ah and her doctors falling for her? First her cancer-treating Dr. Poopy, now her baby-delivering OBGYN? Is it not supposed to be as much a breach of ethics if the men don’t end up with her?
In any case, the thing I’m most excited about: Since Kim Sun-ah’s playing a super alpha girl, maybe this will be the project where she drops the off-putting baby talk and just lets herself be fierce and awesome. ‘Cause she can be that.
I Do, I Do follows the currently airing The King 2 Hearts as a Wednesday-Thursday drama.

Kim Sun Ah has come a long way from her Kim Sam Soon days...she looks good.
I'm not sure about the drama, I do like Lee Jang Woo, though.

I already love that story: THAT's a spicy love triangle. Can you imagine the Doctor lecturing the future father on how to pamper a pregnant woman? Someone will have a hellish life... And i can see embarrassment: 2 guys fighting around a drink, debating on who "knows" the woman better... With the woman actually here of course... Patting KSA's character on the back: Don't worry, none ever died of shame. I bet we will have to do a paternity test before the end...

I share the same sentiment with you Mysti. I thought the chemistry was too forced. I love both Kim Su Nah and Lee Dong Wook as actors because I follow almost all of their dramas. My Su Nah favorite would be MNKSS. Her chemistry with HB was so natural.

well I felt half of what you felt matinsoleil, in SOAW KSA was so into her character, meanwhile LDW was so into his appearance but his acting bit rigid, his mimic, he could dig more than that (I praised his acting in Wild romance, he throw out his handsome form), so the steamy scene the viewer felt IMO the dominated of KSA character. So far IMHO who match perfectly for KSA are HB and CSW, and of course can't wait with LJW ^^

Wow - she sure looks ALPHA female for this role. Love the short, sassy hair and those shoes..... those pretty, pretty shoes. (I'll be looking forward to a parade of shoes since she's a top designer, right?)
As for the love triangle - young, hot guy vs ob/gyn? It's all well and good, but let's hope that Park Gun-hyung's character isn't doing her initial pregnancy exam, cause that would just be way TMI. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, I guess that the two boys will be on equal footing in that department. A one night stand plus an ob/gyn exam? Yeah, no intimate privacy for Boss Lady... this should prove interesting.

April 19, 2012 at 1:17 PM
She's done the 'ootsey-wootsey' in pretty much everything she's ever acted in - including Samsoon - it's her version of aeygo. As she's become older, she's toned it down.

I thinks it has to do with her voice also, so I'm not blaming her. She has that kind of voice that so easily falls into the aegyo tone and needs to really be cautious in order to sound serious and etheral. Some actresses just have very attractive etheral voices, but I don't want to take this as KSA's weakness coz that's not fair. Love love...did i say i love her?

There is hope that maybe the doctor will not be hers, but around when she melts down or something--that happens a lot. I'm already anxious to know if she goes with the younger man, though... love that kind of drama too!

I know, right? Her character in Sam Soon was so much fun because she was different... and then the character went and changed it up to trying to be average cutesy. He likes you because you aren't like that! Come on, drama!

TOTALLY!
The "aegi' cutesy was esp awful on her Samsoon role ... it was there in City Hall and other dramas.
Her image here is awesome (loving the whole image + the blue/fuschia punch) = PLEASE keep the sassy attitude on par!

donnapie
April 20, 2012 at 3:14 AM
I think the aegyo talk in City Hall was part of the personality and package of the whole Mi Rae character hence she acted as such.
Most of the time the aegyo comes out when she's baiting Jo Guk and she's trying to be sarcastic (like the buy me a handbag part) or trying to make him do something for her (the couple sneakers) so it might be a part of the characterization of the characters she has played rather than her, herself that is heavy on aegyo.
same thing with Samsoon where the aegyo i think is in keeping with Samsoons character who tends to be pretty exaggerated in everything she does so why not act the same with the sweetness.
So far, it seems pretty consistent to me with the characters she has played that's why i don't see it very much as off putting.
Just sayin.

I don’t like when K-drama attempt to do this kind of storyline, they always convert back to having the characters act like Virgins, when it obvious they are grown adults that is aware of they sexuality. I don’t have high hopes that the writer or the Director has the authority to do this drama with any kind of realism! It going to be one of the frustrating drama when you keep saying, you slept together, you slept together, you slept together! Viewer in relationship understand what I mean, when I say the first time she cover her eyes when she see him bare chest, will have me pulling out my hair strand by strand. I hope and I know this is crazy on my part but I hope they focus a lot on why she slept with him (the sexually tension) and not on I’m pregnant but for the next 16 episodes I going to try to make you believe there was nothing sexual or lustful it was all real “LOVE”…..GRRRRRRR. Unless they pull the famous blaming on the alcohol, that allow the characters free of any ethical responsibility, therefore they are not held or required to explain the whole BED ROCK Situations.
I love Kim Sun-ah and am looking foreword to seeing Lee Jang-Woo in his first lead role but this storyline has been done before it both times failed miserably in my eyes.

You point the only thing that could "castrate" this drama. I share your concern, and i really really hope we are both wrong with our fear. Please writer and producers: No alcohol, no false excuse, no misunderstanding. Just 2 grown up people who decide to sleep together with a clear mind, because they want to. MBC allowed that beautiful passionate kiss to happen in Me too, flower, and i will hold on tight on that sign. I don't need an explicit bed scene, but just a realistic portrait of the human sexuality and emotions. If they get prudish and smile behind their hand i will be disappointed.

@ Mystisith - we can expound endlessly on that yet, and Yoon Si-yoon.

I agree.
Once real people break down that first intimate moment barrier, we can't help but want to check to see if it was real. Keep touching the other for assurance.
Remember where they put that kiss combo - in a public place.
If they had been inside ANYWHERE, it wouldn't and couldn't have just stopped at kissing.

actually in every Korean drama, there are no explanations how the lead character live their live being before the time in the drama!!. Sometimes I think, isn't their behavior right now reflected their past activity???. yea if the Korean drama's phenomena just like "I thought ya, the story gonna be like this" or "why it didn't like that/this??". Indeed, there are some did. who we put the blame to? the writer? the PD? the actor/actress. But one more time this is mere an art, entertainment, and our satisfy to see our favorite stars. Well then just pray that every new project is different and unique than before, especially our fave actress/actor in it.^_^
