School boys Lee Jong-seok and Kim Woo-bin get cuddly
by girlfriday
Oh. My. Gaaaaaaah. How can there even BE such a thing so cute? It’s been a while since I’ve seen a drama bromance that rivals the epic Song Joong-ki/Yoo Ah-in pair, but I think Lee Jong-seok and Kim Woo-bin have officially joined the ranks. They’ve become something greater than the sum of its parts — each delightful on his own, but together they make things go melty. Here they are behind the scenes shooting a spread for @Star1 called “A Friendship Deeper Than Love.” Ask and ye shall receive.
There’s so much pretty I don’t know where to look. It seems like there should really be some kind of cosmic imbalance when such beautiful people are actually friends, but these two genuinely seem to be bros. Don’t you love that the shots of Kim Woo-bin match Lee Jong-seok’s, like they’re having a photo shoot conversation? Or battle, take your pick.
The pair of 24-year old model-turned-actors have been friends since their modeling days, and while a great deal of their awesomeness as bleeding-heart high school mortal enemies (who were really just besties who missed each other, aw) in School 2013 was due to the writing, their friendship chemistry was undeniably off the charts. It helped that they played it unabashedly like two boys who really might live or die by friendship, as emotional as any love story, just without the romance.
When asked about the onscreen bromance that’s been getting so much positive attention, Kim Woo-bin said: “Actually Lee Jong-seok and I had our eye on the Best Couple Award (Laughs). At first I thought my hands and feet were going to curl up, but the environment on set helped me to live as Park Heung-soo. Lee Jong-seok especially helped me out when it came to acting or dealing with external factors. When I was acting, I think I really loved Go Nam-soon. In the flashback scenes we weren’t supposed to cry, but I loved him so much that I cried. Lee Jong-seok and I are really good friends now.”

Oh my word, are they trying to kill me?! So much cute. Can't. Breathe.
It's so cool that they're such close friends though. And it doesn't hurt that they're so good-looking. *cough*sorry,shallow*cough*

He looks exactly the same to me. I haven't seen any change since 2NE1's mv for I Don't Care, so I don't think he's had PS.

Yeah when he smiles he reminds me of Park Shi Ho too. but no that's not him. He's much younger and wouldn't have been able to play that role.

Yes, he was the assistant of the Chuno-prosecutor Ma Hye Ri was crushing on.
I think he was just a bit young back then and still had baby fat(?) He looked like a kid playing dress-up with his dad's suit.
But he's still recognizable to me. Maybe he just got thinner so now the angles are more noticeable...

Whoa, that was Lee Jong seok? I loved Prosecutor Princess! I'm still not sure if I ultimately prefer Park Shi hoo with Kim So yeon or Moon Chae won (Moon Geun Young is not even in this competition, Alice in Cheongdamdong, you never reached your full potential!) as I loved both Prosecutor Princess and Princess' Man. But now I have a good excuse to flip through PP again :)

In my opinion, both this guys should be in the FRIEND sequel. Lee Jong-seok is more fitting as Jang dong-gun's son while Kim Woo-bin will be Yoo Oh-sung's son. they look a bit more similar than woo-bin and dong-gun

I love Kim Woo Bin, aka Woobie My Love, but LJS? I can take him or leave him. I did like Go Nam Soon the character, but somehow don't see GNS in LJS.

They look adorable in these photos.
I am obsessed with Kim Woo Bin ever since A Gentleman's Dignity. I didn't watch School 2013 but I heard he did great and he and Lee Jong Seok were great together...I can't wait to see them both in more dramas!

Sigh. Mireu, with the pink hair. So you know, it's not just Sung Joon and Kim Young Kwang and Woobie, either - it's also Oh Jung Ho from School 2013, and Baek Sung Hyun plays a COMPLETELY different person than the ditzy brother in Big and...really, this is an amazing ensemble. Enjoy!

I know, right? Actually, I have a thing for redheads (which kind of begs my recent K-drama obsession, but never mind) and smartass punks, so Woobie My Love was perfect.
And he shows some skin, hee.

Wow! So many responses, obviously I need to watch White Christmas. YES I did see him briefly in To the Beautiful You but he was really the only part I could watch...even my love for Minho couldn't let me get through the entire drama haha.
Woooooo Binnnnnnn. Why so gorgeous?
