Gong Yoo, half-naked and Big
by girlfriday
IN Big! I meant IN! Here’s our first look at the upcoming Hong sisters drama Big in action. Fear not, those of you who worried that Gong Yoo wouldn’t get to spend his first post-army drama shirtless. There are rules about these things in the dramaverse.
It starts out with Lee Min-jung‘s Gil Da-ran wondering why her boyfriend Yoon-jae seems “a little strange” lately, to his discovery post-body-swap of all his new features, facial and otherwise. Rawr. It seems like he actually tells her what’s going on pretty early, which is an interesting twist. The fact that he feels the need to SHARE all his anatomical… er… changes is just icing on the comedy cake.
A big car accident is the catalyst for the soul swap, and then we see him wake up in the aftermath, in the wrong body. He wails dramatically at the body lying on the autopsy table, “This is ME!” … and unveils an old man’s corpse. Hahahha. Okay, that got a laugh out of me. I love that she’s like, What are you doing to that poor dead grandpa?
The hijinks begin June 4 on KBS.

Summer, Hong sisters, and Gong Yoo. Sigh, is it time to file for vacation leave now? Stupid job and adult responsibilities.

Mc its i believe from Grey's Anatomy where the guys were labeled as McSteamy or McDreamy- Think its something that is used in Scottish last names like- McDonnell, McKenzie....

slfowie is right about the meme being coined on Grey's Anatomy but it's been around before them...kind of how The Office popularized the very old "that's what she said" joke. For a more in depth answer, I like the q & a found at http://www.italki.com/answers/question/61554.htm

Same taste, i am interested in Gentleman's Dignity, Bridal Mask and Big the most so far. I LOVE the cast of ghost but cop theme is not really k-drama forte so i'm not sure whether the execution can be good enough or even as SUPERB as OCN's TEN Special investigation team. I dislike I do, I do cast, LJW...i guess i see him too much as the annoying 2nd male villain lead. I still remember his character in Smile Donghae in a bad way... KSA, i know she got such good dramas on her belt but i always tend to fall in love with the drama itself instead of her. Her look is just not the type that makes me adore.

o shit, does this mean the doc character actually dies (ie soul leaves body for the heavens), while boy character's body gets cremated or something, so that his soul is stuck in the body forever & falls newly in love with teacher Minjung???(like every other Hong-sisters drama)??? so is Suzy stuck playing bitchy 2nd lead, or does she get another love line with the other young actor mentioned???
or am i over-reacting and the 2nd teaser will show the boy with the doc's soul after-all and more glimpses of Suzy's character too???

Oh, interesting!! So it looks like the doctor boyfriend actually dies! I was wondering why they weren't really talking about the other half of the bodyswap, but it makes sense if it's because he's not actually around anymore. (Eek!)
So that means, rather than Lee Min-jung/Goon Yoo-as-the-doctor and Suzy/Main Lead-back-in-his-original-body as the pairings, it's going to be the teacher falling for her student... who is currently inhabiting her dead fiance's body. Well, if anybody can make it work, it's the Hong Sisters! And it's got to help knowing that no matter who you wind up with, he's going to look like Goon Yoo!
Also, I rather like that Lee Min-jung is in the know from almost the beginning. It's not what's expected and very You're Beautiful, in a good way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Super Junior's Kibum doing a drama EXACTLY like this, called "I love Italy"? Because I've seen the trailer for it but the premise is almost too identical to this drama.

Not exactly, he's a 14 year old that wakes up one day and is 25,lol. And then hooks up with a 30 year old lady. Also call I love Lee Taeri. You can check the tags of the dramabeans posts for it.

Woooo! I don't understand korean but I gathered enough to figure out that she knows everything pretty early on too! Yaaay! I like that since it means our heroine won't be unnecessarily hurt/less confused. But it also means she may have to babysit her fiance which is hilarious to me.
Love it, it looks great! And the leads look great too!

Hmm.. so if he actually dies and has to choose just one... I foresee much heartache and crying for us audiences towards the end... it'll probably be nothing to what TK2H's got on me right now... but still.. I hate things that make me cry.
Having said that, for some reason I can already envision the second season to this drama (or ought it be extension?) with the girls' perspective... I mean, think about it.. if you're a high-schooler, you're going to have to be with a boyfriend who, while 18 inside, looks like an ahjussi on the outside (ok, fine, he's Gong Yoo, but let's suspend that bit for a second). And if you're a professional woman, you're going to get a person who looks (amazingly) right on the outside but is nothing but a child inside... Which would you want?

Gong Yoo is so adorable, I can´t wait for this!
I like that she seems to be in on it from the start, but I don´t know what to think about the boy being (possibly?) dead for real. It would probably mean more Gong Yoo, but the idea of her trading her fiance for a student....hmmm. Maybe it is about getting the right soul back?

But after that teaser there is no turning back. This looks like SO much fun!!! I've been watching too many tragic sageuks and this is just what I need to get the happy back in my drama-watching life. I can't wait!!!!
And yes, how awesome that our heroine won't be kept out of the know?
