Jung Yong-hwa cast opposite Park Shin-hye again, seriously
by girlfriday
Dude. WHY. Why why why with the repeat pairing that will not die in dramaland? Jung Yong-hwa and Park Shin-hye AGAIN? It’s been confirmed that the pair who were costars in 2009’s You’re Beautiful and again in 2011’s You’ve Fallen For Me are going to be reunited for a third time. Jung Yong-hwa just been cast in Kim Eun-sook’s next big rom-com Heirs (He Who Wishes To Wear the Crown, Endure Its Weight: Heirs) starring Lee Min-ho, due out this fall.
The endless re-pairing is a thing I don’t understand, because sure they’re cute together, but enough already. I don’t even like it when it happens once. Even with him going back to second lead territory, it’s a retread of roles they’ve already played. Either this drama is just trying to be Boys Before Flowers-meets-You’re Beautiful so literally that it’s just mashing the two casts, or these two have some kind of cupid pulling Fate’s strings up there.
The drama will be about upper crust high schoolers, so it really will be another Boys Before Flowers. There is one upside to all this though — one of my biggest pet peeves with writer Kim Eun-sook is the way she writes adults like they’re fifteen… which means maybe she’ll be perfectly suited to write a high school drama. It’s described as a trendy drama about rich high school students, and their loves and friendships. Yes, but wouldn’t it be fun to watch them fall in love with new people, like just once in a blue drama moon?
Heirs is planning for an October premiere on SBS.

I don't know why people are so unhappy. I actually like the casts so far. If you don't like, don't watch. I'm going to wait until it airs in October then make up my mind if I like the storyline/loveline or not. People are just so quick to judge.

Orrrrrrrrrrrr rather than quick to judge, some people like me have seen these two paired twice before already with less than desirable results. Thus, we are now expressing our discontent, mainly because we sat through the entirety of YFFM and their dead fish chemistry.
Of course, things can magically change the third time around, but why even have to take that chance when so many other new pairings can be made?

I could not say it better! I wish I never even began YFFM because of this bad pairing. Maybe PSH with LMH... JYH must be a real masochist. I think.

I'm not okay with this pairing; maaybe because I sat through hours watching him in both you're beautiful and you've fallen for me; and the vibe that I've gotten from both wasn't exactly electric~ so, yeah. I allow myself to be grumpypants when I read about this. Sigh~

April 16, 2013 at 5:19 PM
I have to disagree with the "dead fish chemistry" They actually have good chemistry which they showed in You're Beautiful. Heartstrings had some issues with the story and how it played the characters out.
I'm excited to see them again because I can trust that I won't see the really stupid female/male combo that is just painful to watch with these main leads. Some drama's I literally have to skip the first two or three episodes and just read the recaps because the intros are just painful. Stars falling is a good example of that.
Maris
April 18, 2013 at 7:30 AM
The popularity of the pairing in itself speaks for the huge chemistry between the two. Shinhye has the ability to look good with all costars. An article to this fact was actually published earlier this year with pictures of her with them (lee wan, JGS, JYH, YSY, LSG) and calling her queen of chemistry. She will be great with LMH too.

me too! me too! when i read the headline, before reading the post, i was like, what's wrong with them together again? i like them together. she's really growing on me, and he's hot, what more could you ask for!?! the only thing i am iffy on, as far as the cast goes, is yong hwa as second lead. i'd much rather see him successful in love rather than being perfect yet end up brokenhearted.
aside from the cast, the plot kinda bothers me. when i read about that, that's when i had the feeling of "again, seriously"?? it sounds so redone to death, but i'm willing to watch and hope for the best, which is all we can ever really do in dramaland. b/c no matter how great a drama sounds, it can disappoint, and no matter how meh a show seems to be before broadcast, it can pleasantly surprise.
here's to pleasant surprises *

i like each of them, just not so much together (i thought they'd be adorable together when i watched you're beautiful, and then i watched you've fallen for me and i was like, "wait, no, i take it back~" but the drama gods weren't listening.) so i'm not terribly excited but i'm open-minded enough that i'm hoping they'll surprise me.
you can watch you've fallen for me if you want to see him successful in love with park shinhye, though.(:

And this is exactly why this show, just like BOF, will be a big hit - "hot" guys, "cute" girls, and a throwaway plot. For plenty of people out there, the eye candy is enough.
My only questions is, where is Psy and Dakota Fanning??? Dramafever promised me they would be there!!!!!!

Maris
April 15, 2013 at 1:15 PM
?Hi Skelly! Was missing you. I seriously think that it's misleading to think that it's going to be another BOF because of the cast and the school/setting unless there is something else that I have overlooked. I base my case on what I know about the writer. I have a feeling that they will be more to the hot guys and cute girls. KES definitely has something already in place with just them in mind hence such an early casting to ensure their availability. There will be more than eye candy. Unless they really botch things up the least is an entertaining drama because of what's already in place.
Sorry cannot answer your question regarding PSY and Dakota due to lack of info about them.

Her acting range is extremely limited, unexpressive. She often seems like she's in a low-grade zombie / horror film. She seems bland and unoriginal, and apparently doesn't have representation keeping her on track to expand professionally, if not creatively. Maybe she's just stalking or manipulating guy for some "personal drama"? Anyway she'll make a ton of money and so will he. Luckily there are other things to watch.

Woah, I never said I didn't like anything. I am just saying we've seen what they are like together both in the male lead role and in the second lead role already(To varied results). I don't know how to feel about them being cast together again since we've already seen them together multiple times.
Did I say I was unhappy about it or that I wouldn't give it a chance? No.
They could be amazing together and bring something new to the table, only time will tell. But I am allowed to express my concern about the paring and I'm sure i'm not the only one that has these concerns.

I think for the people whom the pretty is enough, this drama raises no concerns. But if the pretty alone doesn't quite do it for you, then you naturally think Uh Oh.
I really enjoy Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye's acting AND their pretty, so right now it seems like JYH is the weak link. Here's hoping he proves me wrong and makes me fall in second lead love.

There has to be a reason for KES to go for LMH, PSH and JYH. No writer with her popularity will let any black spot appear on her reputation. They must be a good fit for what she has in her mind. I fully believe in that. For this reason I am so curious to see what happens in October. Lot of suspense and anticipation.
This is something that I could not have predicted in 1000 years. LMH and Shinhye.....yes but
Yonghwa in the same drama for the 3rd time in 4 years....difficult to assimilate considering the probabilities ....no matter how much I love there chemistry.

It's apparently "well known" in Korea media and entertainment circles that Yonghwa and Shinhye are dating, and have been for awhile. So, I don't find this news surprising at all. But, it's not YH taking advantage of SH, he doesn't need to. He's popular and successful in his own right without riding her coattails. Neither does she need to use him to boost her popularity.

I definitely agree with you. Fnc should let him appear in dramas wherein his co actors can help him most specially the senior actors. And not with someone who he starred with in 2 flopped dramas.
I like the path jonghyun, junshin and minhyuk are taking… Slowly but surely. Being in support roles somehow helps them develop and hone their acting skills and prepare them for future lead roles.

Seriously there pairing again is going to cause a storm among the fans. There are already haters for PSH in the JYH camp. And the legions of goguma fans supporting JYH with Seohyun after We got married is going to be really disapointed too.

I heard the rumor Jung Yong-hwa was going to be in this drama long before Park Shin-hye ever signed on. Once she did become the lead I have just been waiting for the confirmation that he signed on too, it was only a matter of time. This article did not surprise me on bit, in fact it took longer than I thought to hear he was officially in.

April 15, 2013 at 9:59 AM
Really? I would actually not be surprised if this were the case (Jung Yong-hwa thinking about it before Park Shin-hye was attached) since he did cameo in A Gentleman's Dignity. I figure the writer likes C.N.Blue, lol. Waiting for her to try getting Min-hyuk and Jung-shin too.
As for watching the drama, I'll wait and see. Who knows, with that break he took from variety/music show appearances in 2012, he may have taken acting lessons too... or something? I'll put some hope on the writer for a well-written character and the director to make his acting work as well. If they can pull off something similar to the directing for Lee Jun-ki in Arang and the Magistrate (which gave him that intensity so many of us loved) even just a little, I'll probably be happy. (Although, that being said - I think Jun-ki has the experience necessary to make good use of a director's suggestions. I'm not sure how well a new actor/casual actor could do the same.)
A drama isn't just actors, so when something works or flops, more than one person probably deserves the credit/blame. I'll wait and see if the combined effort is enjoyable.

Everyone is so concerned about the repeat of PSH with JYH, but I find the LMH with JYH pairing more interesting. They are not two people I would have put together for potential bromance, so its going to be interesting to see how they get along on screen.
I am going into it positive. Even if it is a mash up of Boy Over Flower and You're Beautiful, I loved both dramas. It would not be something to take seriously, it would be a drama you watch for giggles and I like that.
Actually I was hoping they would sort of make a drama like this. I wanted LMH with his two besties Jung Il-woo and Kim Bum on screen together, and I did want PSH as lead. This was just the perfect drama I came up with in my head. Well, I got two of the actors I wanted, and JYH is my LOVE so I will never complain about him being in anything. There are still two boy spot left to be cast, so let me start my rain dances and finger crossing now.

hahaha, my sentiments exactly! Why can't it be College Students? then the age wont be too noticeable. Anyway, college studes are sometimes also still like highschoolers anyways --- goofy, serious and not serious in studying and I think there are a lot of college students who experienced first love also during that period.

AGREED. A college romance also feels more real when they behave like they've "FALLEN INTO FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME OMG NEVER AGAIN LOVE" because that stuff doesn't really happen in high school.
Man, I ended up cackling every time they showed a flashback of Park ShinHye as a high schooler in Flower Boy Next Door.
Honestly, its probably just because they like putting everyone in uniforms. People and their fetishes....

Heartstrings was a college setting - that was a pretty resounding flop when it aired.
A college setting done well was 'What's Up'.
Frankly, I see more of a problem for Lee Min Ho here with this type of drama. City Hunter placed him perfectly to jump solidly to total leading man territory and then his lackluster acting in Faith really pushed him backwards. If Heirs doesn't do well, it's going to have WAY more negative impact for him rather than Yonghwa being cast with PSH.
Plus, I really don't want to see LMH cast as a high school student - he doesn't look that age anymore and neither do Yonghwa or PSH.

As much as I like LMH, PSH and even YGH, this drama really pushes them a step back again from transitioning to more adult leading roles. I'm hoping that this drama doesn't have the high school setting throughout the entire storyline (maybe it transitions to when they graduate or something) or it takes place when they are older with significant flashback scenes (like in 49 Days) or something.
Not too thrilled to see YGH and PSH paired up again... they really haven't shown good on screen chemistry... The casting is probably done so they can market this drama abroad (like to Japan), since all three of them are pretty famous in other Asian countries. I wouldn't be surprised if the second female lead turns out to be some idol (like from Kara or something).

Completely agree that they shouldn't be cast as high school students.. There are plenty of up and comers for high school stories like this, without having to cast actors who have been playing adults. Barring flashback scenes, this really shouldn't be done >.<

Actually, I just cannot understand the "bashing" that goes each time a casting with popular artists are announced. These are all acting according to the characters that are scripted for them. They just bring them alive according to the director's, writer's and their own abilities. Without even seeing a single episode how can some people go after the cast with their extreme viewpoints, assumptions and judgements.
I would just wait and see for at least the first episode to be aired. Maybe, its just thinking aloud for many but looking from the actors/actresses viewpoint it must be tough to bear with the extreme opinions.

That's my thoughts too. Just because Kim Eun Sook made hit shows in the past, you've got to give director Shin Woo Chul, who is currently working on Gu Family Book, alot of credit too. Who knows if this will be another cracktastic show like her predecessor secret garden? She's parting ways from a duo that made the shows a hit. That's something to look out for.
I wonder if Shin Woo Chul decided on another writer this time because he was interested in finally doing saeguk. Well, he's definitely working his magic fingers there.

FNC's president Han Seong Ho gives Yonghwa a lot of freedom. If he or Yonghwa wants 'popularity' they should have choosen the variety route.
I've always assumed Writer Kim is quite strict (?) , choosy(?) on who she wants in her drama. Because usually I think when she writes she already has an idea on who she wants for that role. She would always try her best to get the actor that she wants.
And the extended cast usually got casted through audition.

if this drama flop, KES still get much money while yonghwa still can enjoy more popularity oversea

I actually creeps me out, the guy is older than me and I haven't set foot on HS since 2007! Also whats that crap about one of the students having thing with the teacher?! Why do they keep pushing this crap.. the only place that thing worked was Biscuit Teacher... at least College student having an affairs with a professor is way more common an as long as the dude ain't pass 40 is not as creepy... still not the ideal but less statuary rape territory.....

I agree. LMH and PSH are the MAIN pair. This is a drama. Once they start enacting their roles, their previous roles will be forgotten because they are good enough to make it possible. The ones who will be even more concerned are the actors, writer and the director. They will not let all our fears come true. Otherwise, they would not have casted them together.

What on earth is the purpose of the reputed and well respected writer if she cannot come up with original ideas and who looses the golden opportunity of having a wonderful cast.
It would be a shame if people miss the anticipation, eagerness and joy of looking forward to this drama that in my eyes looks extremely promising bar few misgivings.

Okay guys! Stop with that dating rumors of JYH and PSH! Can't you understand that PSH (even JYH too) is tired of it? Like seriously, why would people insist to believe that they are dating? They are close friends, more like bestfriends. Of course they would keep on contact with each other because they are FRIENDS. And nothing more than that. They have always denied that dating rumor in every interview, so why would you keep on insisting that they are dating? If they are dating, sure it would be announced publicly a long time ago. But why isn't there such announcement today? Because simply it is just a rumor, a big lie.

I am still excited because I like all these actors and believe that once we see them play their roles as envisioned by KES all these fears will be redundant. Honestly, we will love the drama. The main pairing is that of LMH and PSH. They will be great together because of what is written for them.
Since, I firmly believe that JYH is just a close friend with Shinhye it really does not matter. He did say that he wants a role that is like his real self so we will see him in totally different role. Same goes for the other two. I still say that the script, acting and directing will make or break the drama.
It will not be another BOF just simply because that is the worst nightmare for a writer to have their work considered to be unoriginal and also a reflection of someone else's work.
LSG and PSH? When? When?when? If only......

Wow . . .a lot of negativity here! As a fan of all three actors. I'm pleased to see them getting work, and it will be fun to see them in the same drama. I'll admit that I'm not thrilled about them playing high school students, since Shin Hye and Min Ho, especially, have done more mature roles. However, I'm willing to give it a chance. Frankly, while everyone is entitled to their opinions, I can't understand someone calling themselves a "fan" of someone but not wanting them to get work. At least watch the show once before you trash it! Plus, keep in mind that there are multiple pairings in K-dramas, so Yong-Hwa's charachter may not come in contact with Shin-Hye's.
As for the personal rumors, what the actors do in their own lives is their business, and as long as they're being professional on-set, I don't care. Why should people care that being in a drama will give rise to dating rumors, as long as the drama is good? People will always talk about something, and if actors rejected choices on the basis of rumors they might engender, they would never work at all!
It could end up being a disaster, but it could easily end up being a fun drama as well. I urge everyone who's a true fan of any of these three to take a deep breath, keep an open mind, don't get influenced by personal feelings about real-life pairings, and give the drama a chance.

Well said.
KES' story lines may meander a little more than necessary, but she's written good secondary characters and is not a fan of the overplayed love triangle. In fact, I usually enjoy her secondary characters even more than the leads as I feel that she has more freedom to make them more layered and multi-dimensional.
And if AGD is anything to go by, I'm looking forward to some solid bromance between LMH and JYH.

In AGD, I liked the 3 other 'gentlemen' (each were flawed but I could always see where they were coming from), Woobin's character (had enough of a backstory to explain why he was the way he was and his puppy love for his teach was adorable!) and in SG, I loved everything about Oscar!
Just to be clear, we're talking k-drama rom-com fluff here so anytime a character has a little bit more backstory that explains why they behave the way they do and are not painted in one-dimension, I feel relieved. If I want complex characters, I'll go watch some art house film. :)

Ugh, this guy should move on already! What is wrong with him?
And I will bet my entire 6-month ramyun stash that this drama will contain the same old k-drama romcom trendy cliches.
Lee Min Ho is a bratty mean chaebol person and Shin Hye will either be poor or middle class and will be a candy girl who works really hard at school/work, really kindhearted girl who's either incredibly shy and timid or someone who's tough and has to muster weird, exaggerated facial expressions. Lee Min Ho will treat her like garbage but due to some unknown force from heavens, Shin Hye will fall madly in love with him. All the while Jung Yong Hwa broods over her, either being her best friend or Lee Min Ho's. THE END.
This setup will look and feel refreshing and interesting because the writer will put in funny skits here and there. Or cute lines or gestures. But at the end of the day, it's the same exact premise. It's safe, it's easy, it sells.
Not to mention, Lee Min Ho's face (er, nose) will be in the screen 95% of the time. Jung Yong Hwa is a trendy idol who insists on becoming an actor when he clearly should just stick to his music. Park Shin Hye, well, I like Park Shin Hye but the girl should start growing out of these roles and stop the cutesy acting for heaven's sake! Do something new and challenging and risky, girl. They're all very popular, all good looking (though LMH, fangirls will kill me but I have to disagree). This drama will sell overseas in millions of dollars. Which is good, because that's the point after all.
Anyway, there you go, Heirs... Dropped. On the floor. :)

Her most prominent and widely-known characters are from YAB, Cyrano Agency, Heartstrings, FBND, and Miracle in Cell No. 7. I'm excluding her childhood roles as she's 24 now and those are really not the basis of her acting anymore. Now, in each and every one of these dramas and movies, she has acted on the same safety range. She may have played different roles, but she's always on her comfort zone. She has shown little to no growth with each role, I always see the same Shin Hye. I really hope she takes on a more challenging role like Moon Geun Young's role in the movie Love Me Not. It will cement her status as an actress.

why can't all couples be like Tae Young and Eugene they told everyone they were dating, they got married just fine why do you keep denying it?! T_T
FYI, Park Shin Hye is the one who is really denying the rumor... she is really afraid of Anti's and I just think Yong Hwa wants to let everyone know about them but Shin Hye tells him not to! Hence, I believe this is his way of saying I'm dating Shin Hye rather than bluntly announcing it to avoid trouble.. do you guys agree?
Either way since I'm a shipper I'm going to look forward to this and I don't mind Lee Min Ho and Shin Hye being the Main Couple... Honestly, all I ever really wanted was just to see Lee Hong Ki and Park Shin Hye act together as the main couple they could make a really good comedy I could see it !!!

I don't know what to make of this casting news. When I first heard of Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye casting opposite each other, I fell a wee bit drawn to the drama. But the description of the premise just left me shrieked NOooooo! Not BOF again!
Now this! I love JYH and CNBLUE, but Yonghwa's acting in YAB and YHFFM is subpar. He was so stiff. He couldn't convey the emotions. He was only good when he acted with his guitar or when he sang. Of course 2 years have passed and he could have followed acting classes and improved. But I don't hold much hope for that.
Besides, LMH and PSH are good, with potentials, but not thespians to raise their co-star's acting. I could venture to say the opposite: when they are with a good co-star, their acting is elevated. Otherwise, they could barely hold their own. So for now, it is another NO for me. I won't check this out unless better casting news come out. *Sign*

Maybe it's because K-drama is just a hobby for me and I don't get invested in real-life pairings, but I can't understand some of the vitriol I'm seeing in response to this announcement. Watch it or don't watch it, but don't act like these three being together is going to cause the North Koreans to go nuclear, you know? Then again, I'm a relatively old ajhumma of 33, so probably I'm past feeling such heightened passions because of drama casting :).

Faye, like you I'm way past the age of shipping anyone or caring about lovelines (I'm 51) but I am upset with the casting because I feel like LMH and PSH are stagnating in these sorts of roles. Fun high-school dramas are all well and good, but all three cast so far are a little long in the tooth to play 17-year-olds. And Jung Yong-hwa, while I am sure he is a fine musician, is not an actor; and the casting of idols is anathema to me. I am also worried about the writer; I loved City Hall, but I feel that her work has gone on a steady downward progression since then: more erratic in tone and plot, and more formulaic in characterization, and relying on big names and/or a silly hook, like the body swap, to garner interest rather than an interesting story. This drama, so far, feels like another step on her downward progression.

@skelly: There are legit reasons to dislike this pairing, and you expressed them very calmly and in an articulate manner. However, the vast, vast majority of the comments I've been seeing have been over-the-top nasty, vitriolic, and personal toward Shin Hye or Yong Hwa, depending on which fanbase is posting (LMH seems to get a pass on all this). I became attracted to K-dramas because of the fun escapism they offered, so it really bothers me that people are expressing this level of hate for something that doesn't even have a script yet. The nature of some of these attacks makes it seem very much that the hostility is about potential real-life pairings (which I don't care about), and not about the actual drama.
I'm not thrilled about these three playing high schoolers either, to be honest, even though I love them all. I'm still willing to give it a chance and support them, though. I wish others would watch or not watch, but stay away from the "Shin Hye's agency is forcing the drama to cast Yong Hwa" type comments. Also, the idea that PSH and JYH shouldn't act together because of rumors that OTHERS are constantly promoting (and which they continually deny) is just ludicrous to me. Women and men should never work together because somebody might think they have something going on? I dunno, that just seems so medieval and offensive to me.
Finally - people say they're so upset and that Shin Hye is holding back Jung Yong Hwa's growth because they've acted three times together (or will have, once the drama is over). Huh? i work with some of the same people every day, and that doesn't worsen our work product -- some may say it even helps! Look at Doris Day and Rock Hudson, just as one example -- they made multiple movies together and they were all great.

I agree, Faye, the fan comments are a little over-the-top. To do sort of a sanity-check on my own opinions, I asked my 16-year-old daughter, who watched City Hunter and liked it, what she thought of LMH (and similarly aged actors/actresses) playing people her age. At first she smirked, and gave me her "oh please, give me a break" look, and then she shrugged. She said he was too old and it would be sortof stupid, but that people in their twenties were always playing high schoolers so obviously it wasn't that big of a deal. She wasn't interested in watching it, though.
I will at least watch the first episode, out of loyalty to City Hall (which I loved) and City Hunter, which was enjoyable. And I will just FF through the Man of Still.

no you're not the only one. count me in, not only happy i think i'm ecstatic. if psh & jyh are not the main couple the idea that they will be spending a lot of time filming together is enough for me. lmh to be the male lead is a bonus. i think the 3 will have a blast collaborating. haters will continue to hate no matter what. :p

Agreed! When a cast has fun together on set you can tell, it comes through into the show like You're Beautiful for example. Depending on who they cast as the other 2 boys and 3 girls they should have a blast together. I think it will be a fun watch. Besides, I know the boy can't act, but I love JYH, and can't wait to have him be in my life twice a week again

O No! Bad bad news. I already excited with the main leads but when the 2nd lead announced, I just can't understand the fate between PSH and JYH. WHY, Drama? Not because I don't like him ,it's just like GF said, the repeat pairing thing. O Gosh! But I will watch it cause of the main leads.

I guess they say that if it ain't broken, don't fix it :P
I wouldn't mind the repeat pairing if they were the main couple, as much as I love Heartstrings, the handling of the couple left me a bit cold. I'll definitely watch it, three of my fav actors in there and the prettiness is hurting my eyes already :D It'll all come down to the chemestry between LMH and PSH to sell the whole thing to me at least, I love JYW with her too well to give it up.

I like Yonghwa but whyyyyyyyy!? you are cute together, but there are so many dating rumors between you two that I thought they would want to avoid that.

LOL why is everyone so pressed about repeat pairing?? At least in kdrama it so rarely happens. Compared to Philippine dramas, Thai drama, TW-drama, or C-drama where it happens ALL the time, this is nothing, man.
Moreover, they are not going to be THE OTP, LMH and PSH are! But I guess this being a hotly anticipated projects starring so many fan favorites, it is inevitable that this kinda heated reactions appear...
Now when is Woobin or Jongsuk's casting gonna be announced? *my wish kkk

lol Bollywood is like that too. There are always the same pairings. I actually like it some times because of two actors have chemistry I wouldn't mind watching them onscreen in many different projects

Throw in Park Min Young too for a good measure and we'll have to harvest corn ourselves to watch the craziest love pentagon fandom war ever in the history of Kdrama. Now that is a show!
