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 honestly don't get the outpouring of emotions here. Maybe because where i come from repeat pairings are the rule, with off screen relationships, real or fake, as a major and necessary marketing strategy. Anyway i like this pairing, and it could very well be a disaster, but who knows they just might defy the general expectation and give us a good drama.

It's odd that kdrama pairings don't usually happen more than once and then you get this pairing and the Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk pairing getting paired three times!

seriously?! i seriously really do not understand why JYH's company or even JYH agreed to this.if he wants to grow as an actor, i think it's best that he will choose another drama genre and as of this moment to not be casted with PSY. for Pete's sake, his first 2 dramas are with her! now he will be typecasted as whom who always works with only PSY. how can he show his versatility as an actor if he keeps on working with almost the same type of drama and with the same actress.
and i have to agree with some of the commments regarding PSH, i think she has enough of this cutesy roles. she can act, why stick to this cutesy roles.

Man, girlfriday. Now I want a drama about a drama where either the first or second lead pairs have been cast with each other for the third time. Hilarity and drama ensues while being tangled up with either at least one of the other leads, director, or better yet some random extras.

All together? A big NO!
And PSH and Yonghwa again. Please no. My second lead complex will be there again, it's already here. >.<
As much as I love Yonghwa, sadly he isn't a brilliant actor, he is sooooo pretty and he is a wonderful musician, so just let him do what he is best at.... T_T

I can't wait to see this drama. People in the world, you can give any comments you want but all I can say, the more this drama is being talked about, the more you attract people because they will get curious and join the group for discussions. LOL this is getting interesting. I would definitely pray everyday for the success of this drama and the acting performance of these actors and actresses. Don't you have a heart to just spend few moments to pray for it's success? If you're a Christian, you will definitely do it. If not, then you're something else.

I seriously don't care. =P I just want a decent drama. And since I've watched both "you" dramas and the second one was trauma for me since it was sucky, I'm going to trust the writer on this one.
The writer hasn't written the script yet. I'm not going to gripe until I see it. A good writer can make up for actor's faults. An actor can't make up for a bad script.
=P I'm not so easily swayed by the site management opinion. =P I have plenty of my own.
Such as, KES is a good writer, she just likes a subtle hand, which isn't the management's favorite type of script. (They tend to miss a lot or ignore it...)
LMH, isn't the best actor and I don't consider him eye candy that much (Sue me.) But he's really good at creating chemistry in a Rom Com setting.
PSH I really like as an actress. Mostly for her work ethic. While she doesn't always nail the chemistry, she's always on track with the character, even when other things are falling apart.
YH was good as suffering lead. Especially when they give him fedoras. (Probably sponsored)
If they are dating, not dating, good friends who give heads up, what role they'll play in the drama, etc. I'm withholding all judgment until I see the damned thing. I'm trusting the writer on this one. Subtle, layered, methodical, yet funny. With some layered symbolism, less meta.

Anyone else thought that this feels like Kim Hyun Joong in BoF all over again? I don't think JYH is that bad but they both kinda remind me of each other in terms of their aura...so this show is feeling more and more like BoF now..which is just MEH and coming from the this writer of SG and AGD...BLERGH!!!!!!...I actually don't mind PSH and JYH together and we don't even know if they're really in love triangle again...What I'm really frustrated about here is that all three of these actors are choosing to regress back to a High School drama..WHY?!!!!

I wasnt planning to watch this but I'll give it a try for Yonghwa. How is Yonghwa going to refuse Writer Kim if even JDG cant refuse her right?
I thought about this and I'm sure Writer Kim knows what she's doing so I have faith in her. Just hope it's not going to effect his group activities too much or make him lose him too much weight. I think Yonghwa more attractive when he's not so skinny. haha
But I'm still gonna miss PD Shin though.

"This Spring, The Heirs Blow" :
where LMH and PSH are rival trumpet players in the high school pep band who mistakenly think they are twins separated at birth but then later find out that JYH (who plays marching bassoon) is really the missing twin which causes him great angst and much time staring from corners because he remembers being PSH's boyfriend from two past lives.

Why is everyone so mad? Maybe the writer will shock us by pairing LMH with Yonghwa together? I mean as in a good bromance, it need not be a conflict.
LMH deserves good co-stars who can bring out the best in him, like Lee Joon Hyuk in City Hunter.

Okay.. After reading the first page comments. 273 comments way too much to read although some are really funny. KES why high school drama. I would rather have a college drama at least ONE time. I think no matter what everyone will talk about Yong and PSH not PSH/LMH. Also, it will be WTF if they cast that one girl who is in Heartstring/Flower Boy Next Door who is rival to PSH too.

Anyways what I wanna say is that yes their pairing has been over utilized...but they are going to play the characters in the drama...they are not going to be Park Shin Hye and Yong Hwa..try to overlook this and you might enjoy the drama..don't be prejudiced towards it before it even starts! As for the casting...its already been done...theres nothing that can be done...

To share some positive thinking: PSH and JYH dare to do another drama again because no matter what the rumors are besides there being no proof, they are just very good friends with nothing to hide. The real deal is JKS and PSH.
Well, this is my opinion and love the kind of real friendship PSH and JYH have and treasure. (Maybe a little feelings of groovy love involved but can't be taken to another level).
We should let them enjoy while they can. PEACE!!!

we should be waiting for something different!!
U guys think that you are the only people who think of "the same unrequited love" when it comes 2 Park shin hye and JYH??!
for sure the writer HERSELF know that and is aware theirs roles in their dramas SO she won't do that again!!
writers all wanna write something different and she is smart enough 2 guess that people do not want him in an unrequited love!

don't prejudge!!
she herself knows that they have acted together twice before!
all the writers TRY 2 write something which is different than the other scrips as if they DO NOT DO THAT they will get criticized!!
do you think after all her hit dramas she will risk and give the same familiar role 2 the cast?
Is she crazy?!!

KES can change up the story all she wants but the fact remains that JYH can't act. He's horrible, and his "growth", if you can call it that, is at a snail's pace. He really reminds me of the other epically bad idol actor, KHJ. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and that guy can be reciting Shakespeare and it will still be bad.
And I think she IS crazy - I think she's got some sort of noona crush on JYH, only she's too old for a noona crush so I don't even know what you would call it.

Since a while ago , and even before the drama was annoced i heard yonghwa talking about what he wanted to act in ( in an interview in november/december), he said a sport drama ..pretty sure it will be about basketball :p
But seriously have any of you watched we got married ? if the drama fit his real charchter it's gonna be great ! he was so adorable in that tv reality show ! But if it doesn't i hope that he took some acting class , he was OOkayy in " you're beautiful" but " in heartstrings" he was bleeh that monoexpression of his pff i couldn't stand it !
And i'm a fan of CN Blue but if he will act horrible in this one , i have to rewatch CN blue concert 3 time a week and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL7ah7-Dvog

They should at least be in college or working or anything else. I don't even have a problem with the rich angle, when done right it can be entertaining, but high school richy rich setting for 20's-late 20's actors just doesn't seem right -___- if they want a gossip girl ish drama I'm sure there are others actors out there that fit the criteria for it. I don't know, I just think they can do something diferent with these actors all 'm saying.

I'm actually not a fan of JYH, although he must be very famous and talented. I just don't like him in dramas. He was bearable in JYH because he wasn't the lead and wasn't too annoying. Heartstrings I didn't make it to the third episode, even though the musican aspect was cool. I don't know what it is but some actors/actresses you just can't stand.
So I'm nervous about this drama, I hope that he doesn't have a crush on PSH, and is just her good friend in the drama.
I'm also tired of PSH roles, she always plays the awkward, shy characters. It was understandable in YAB and in FBND but I really really hope that she plays someone who is more feisty, just different from her previous roles. But maybe these roles come with age?
I also hope as it is set in high school- why? They are too old, College or University I can understand that. But I hope it isn't shallow and that the drama has some of the sensitivity of School 2013 which I adored!
I'm intrigued to see the chemistry between Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye, I wonder how that will develop over the drama. And how many episodes the drama will be?
But I think if the script and the storyline, direction, director is great, then that could affect the acting, so it might actually be a very different drama. I'm looking forward to it! :)
