Time-traveling Mi-rae’s Choice begins script rehearsals
by javabeans
The fun begins on Mi-rae’s Choice (aka Future Choice), which held its first script rehearsal with the main cast several days ago. This is the time-traveling show starring Yoon Eun-hye as the heroine whose future self (played by veteran actress Choi Myung-gil, 51) finds a way to travel back to try to get her younger self to choose differently.
In the present day storyline, Yoon Eun-hye plays a bright and confident writer at the broadcast station where our characters work, while her leading man Lee Dong-gun plays a broadcast announcer with a brusque demeanor. Normally I’d figure it’s the heroine who’ll get through his prickly armor to win his heart, except for the fact that Future Mi-rae (heh, Future Future) is here to warn Present Mi-rae not to marry him. While she’s at it, can she tell Mi-rae to get a different perm?
(My big struggle with this premise: Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes, growing as a person, and building character? How are we to believe this isn’t just a selfish misappropriation of the wormhole device? Okay, not like other wormhole narratives are drowning in selfless heroism, but at least in Dr. Jin and Faith the travelers had no say in their jumps, and in Queen In-hyun’s Man there were royal plots to uncover with big life-and-death stakes. In Nine the guy was trying to prevent deaths and exact revenge against big evils, and in Back to the Future our guy had to fix the stuff he himself messed up. So within this context, time-skipping to smooth over your personal regrets seems like the kind of thing Fate would kick you in the ass for. And fine, maybe Fate stories don’t coexist with Wormhole stories in this world, only this is a K-drama, so of course Fate has to be somewhere, biding her time. Just you wait. She’ll get you.)
Annnyway, back to the show. Jung Yong-hwa is the other male lead and he’ll be a gentle, charismatic sort who also happens to be playing undercover boss. Han Chae-ah completes the love rectangle as a reporter.
Mi-rae’s Choice will follow Good Doctor and premieres October 14.

A lot of dramas tend to deviate from their original plot so I'll wait and see what they do with the strange set up. But YEH's ahjumma perm worries me, seriously. Also with her previous drama choices, I went from anticipating her dramas post Goong and Coffee Prince era to watching through my fingers. But Yonghwa chose this over Heirs, it makes me curious, also Han Chae Ah is a treat to watch.

Oh good.
Is it the first thing Old Mi-rae tells her to do? Because if it is, then I think Old Mi-rae is a VERY sensible ahjumma.
Also, why is Lee Dong Gun so hot? Seriously, he looks like he has a fever.
Still, HOT.

hahaha, that picture horrifies me. If there is one thing YEH is known for, it's how photogenic she is, but that above picture belies that and has done the impossible, a post 2005, public picture of YEH looking a hot ass mess. No Bueno.

I looked at the picture before I looked at the headline to see which drama we were talking about, and I seriously did not recognize her. I hope her character in the beginning is supposed to be a hot mess, because that what it looks like.

Skelly,
I took a second look as well. My first reaction was "eesh!", but then I thought it shows that she can be a chameleon which is a very good thing for an actor.

yeah.. I knew LDG way before Yonghwa even debuted, and never crossed in my mind that they look similar!
..but i guess this because the photo's angle.
I was planning not to watch this - but now I think I would check 1-2 eps when it airs.

As per the story, Mirae (Yoon Eun Hye) will be shocked when she gets the lowest grade at a matchmaking service/marriage counselor center. She will try to change herself. So her hair won;t be like this throughout the whole drama. It's temporary. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BTsWCppCcAAKYf3.jpg
Also, her character is supposed to be someone who got the lowest score in a matchmaking so they have to at least try to make it hard for her to pass the matchmaking..
I applaud her for always changing her appearance. Even in LTM, TVM, and in MY, when her hairstyles are ALMOST similar, she still looks completely different in each drama. I mean, I'm really thankful since most actresses look the same in each project that they have.. or the biggest change those actresses will have will be cutting their hair like 2-3 inches only... And maybe they'll put it up or curl it one day...

Well, she certainly isn't shy about experimenting with her looks to make every character she plays different from the ones before. The look and the personality of the character have to find a perfect balance for it to have an identity of its own. It's kinda hard to speculate when we really don't know much as of yet, better to just sit tight and wait.

future mi-rae's number one task. get present mi-rae a make over quick! female leads almost always made to look unattractive while the second female leads almost always look pretty. maybe they aim to make us be awed once she's had her transformation.
sometimes, its clear that the the female lead is the prettiest in that story but nobody seems to notice it.
male leads however, almost always look charming (they're mostly chaebols so of course), but second male leads look good too even if they're not chaebols. i mean come on, even if the girl is not rich, trust me she'll know if a hairstyle doesn't suit her.
forgive me for ranting but i think this is the side effect for sticking with 'her legend of doormat'. i will watch mi rae's choice no matter what.

Shocked with YEH permed hair. It is probably how Mi Rae supposed to look. She did cut her beautiful hair to be Go Eun Chan in Coffee Prince. She will probably have a makeover on the latter episodes. YEH you are such a professional.

lthough her hairstyle is not considered fashionable, it might be for the drama as she is supposedly in the past. I hope she still projects a cute, charismatic and loveable character as in her other dramas. YAH!!! She's Yoon Eun Hye...she has an aura that evokes beauty most importantly within. Her beauty is also shown from her heart and that's when she becomes so beautiful on the outside too!

Reading the reactions on YEH's hair on the drama thread and here was amusing.
YEH is really brave in trying new looks that she thinks fits her character that we always react whatever it is.
Most of the time we loved it and there are rare times that we don't agree with each other as some liked it and others disliked it.
But YEH never disappointed us once we see the drama/movie and then we'll realize that the hair certainly fits her character.
Anyway can't wait for Oct. to come already. I'm excited as they start filming tomorrow.

What I found amusing is that over half the comments are on her hairstyle instead of the show itself, the plot, the writer & director, etc.
Doncha think that maybe it is SUPPOSED to look horrid in the beginning?

YEH's hair is drawing much interest to the drama and that's very good! People will be curious to know what Mi Rae is like in the beginning and how her character will metamorphose from being this girl who probably doesn't care about her looks into a successful, attractive young lady. If that's the way it's going then I'm lovin' it! YEH looks happy and confident in those initial pics, that's a very good sign of things to come. Start cranking up those excitement meters now!

i am surprised how confident YEH was. if i had to rock that hair and had to face two handsome guys like LDG and YH, i wouldn't dare to step out even an inch from my house. or maybe i will use hat or something to cover it. here she looks like she owns it and so comfortable with it. I admire her so much more! I bet through this drama, somebody who used to stay outside the spotlight can relate with her character. This is my YEH! always picking character that is close to reality (minus can go-back-to-the-past thing, mi rae is just plain Jane). But, sadly, some people really don't understand her choice of character and keep criticize her.

"i am surprised how confident YEH was. if i had to rock that hair and had to face two handsome guys like LDG and YH, i wouldn’t dare to step out even an inch from my house. "
yeah then you probably wouldn't make it very well as an actress or famous person if you thought so much about what others think of what you look all the time

The Old Mirae may warn her not to do certain things---and I assume a lot of those warnings have to do with her relationships with men---but I would like to think, given the track record of this scriptwriter, that the young Mirae will not be a wimpy, spineless gal who will do as her future self says. Freedom will still be very much relevant and that is where the plot gets interesting...
As one of you posted earlier, it's too early to pass a judgment on the drama. The best is to wait, watch a good number of episodes and then decide...that goes for YEH's coiffure.
