Yoon Eun-hye and Jung Yong-hwa’s first shoots for Mirae’s Choice
by girlfriday
Cameras are rolling on the set of upcoming KBS drama Mi-rae’s Choice, aka Future Choice, aka Wormholes Are For Personal Do-Overs So Screw the Butterfly Effect Imma Get My Happy Ending Dammit. Yoon Eun-hye (I Miss You) stars as scrappy upbeat heroine Mi-rae, who one day gets a visit from her time-traveling future self (played by Choi Myung-gil), with advice on how to make her dreams come true. Why is it always the case that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is? Just be sure to read the fine print for the brain fetus clause, is all I’m sayin’!
None of this explains Yoon Eun-hye’s ajumma perm, which is apparently a setup for her transformation after meeting her future self. Listen, abuses of time travel privileges aside, that’s the first thing I’d fix too. Once her future self gets her ass in gear, she’ll be leaving her dead-end job at a corporate call center and chasing her dream as a writer in broadcast news. There she’ll meet star anchor Lee Dong-gun… Problem is, part of Future Mi-rae’s agenda is to keep her from being with the hero, for reasons unknown. Or reasons irrational, if you ask me.
Perhaps that means second lead Jung Yong-hwa has a chance at getting the girl after all? To everyone at the office he’ll just be the rookie VJ, but he’s actually the grandson of the network’s CEO, playing undercover boss. Han Chae-ah plays a reporter on the team, who will challenge the heroine for both guys.
Mirae’s Choice comes from one half of the writing duo behind The King 2 Hearts and the PD of Crime Squad. It’s set to follow Good Doctor on Mondays/Tuesdays and premieres October 14.

Only if people still do that in real life, reading in a corner of a library.

Exactly. I don't actually understand why they sit on the floor of the library, I see it done in movie and everywhere, but I never done it or seen anyone do it.

I did that when I was a college student. Every semester when the exam period came, all the tables in the library were occupied, we just needed to find a corner in the library to sit :)

That's the way it always was in the stacks at USC.
The tables in the main part of the library were semi-officially designated as the home-away-from-bar pick-up zone for the sorority/frat kids that promised the 'rents they'd become more diligent in their studies.

That's probably because you're often reading on the table. so, you were not able to see people sitting. I've done that several times in college. Especially in places where people seldom pass. It's quiet so I can enjoy the space. You should try that too. ;)

Here in France or at least in Paris a lot of people do this and not only at the library also in huge stores with a lot of books. I have also done it in a store while waiting for my train.

Jung Yong Hwa seems to be on his laptop instead of reading but that's definitely a sight i see everyday attending a university. I guess it also depends on which library you go to. A university library in the city will always have tons of people occupying it.
On the other hand, i see tons of people sleeping in the library all over the place, if that counts. (College, of course)
In the corners, in the couches, in the tables. You name it. ;)

Yoon Eun Hye looks chubby but cute and relax in her frumpy look.
On the other side the Jung Yong-hwa looks so stiff, as if he's in a fashion photo session. Someone needs to tell him to chill.

He is usually stiff. He can work up a mild sense of outrage, he does have a Hurt Look (which he has probably worked very hard on) and he has a nice smile, although he saves that for special moments. There. I think I've covered everything.

Aha, the Three Expressions of Yong-hwa you mentioned below. I think mild outrage is achieved only accidentally when he forgets that he's supposed to be holding his Hurt Look. But okay, let's give it to him. Looking forward to a possible fourth!

He's good at doing STILL. Not many people can do this. That emptiness, the absence of the self, the suspension of the mind, are all masterfully projected in that utterly blank, calm face. Is there any wonder they call him a Scenestiller?

I don't understand why you keep harping over the use of the worm hole for personal gains. This is hardly the first time the plot device is being used. Literature is littered with similar premises so yeah, while one genre may use the time travel device for nobler means than just a delete button, it doesn't mean that it is used exclusively for that. I mean, it's not like Mirae's Choice has invented the idea.

Why does Yong-hwa have the same facial expression in all the pictures except for 1? Why did they release so many of the same expressions?

September 19, 2013 at 1:58 PM
It's pretty much the only expression he has. That was his face in You're Beautiful and in Heartstrings, no matter what his lines were or what emotion he was supposed to convey. This was it, this one expression. At least it's pretty to look at in a picture.

You are not being fair! I am convinced he has THREE expressions. And they say he has been taking more acting classes and studying very diligently, so perhaps he has developed a fourth. ;-)

wow are you guys all prophet?! can predict his performance before the drama is broadcasted? btw may I remind you that this is only a photo not an animation. and this photo is for promotional use not a capture from the scene of real filming. how many facial expressions and acting skills do you expect from a still image? if you guys want to judge, judge after watching the drama. what you've just done is totally unfair and foolish

I'm sure she'll get a fabulous makeup, but I'm surprised she actually does look frumpy and semi-bad. Usually the frumpy female characters always look good anyway.
I'm sure her future self wants to keep her away from him for his own benefit somehow and not because she doesn't love him. Come on, nothing like time traveling noble idiocy! No way will 2nd lead ever have a chance.

Yong Hwa is very look alike Lee Dong Gun.
Hardly imagine, that I already have thought that they both was a look alike each other, and because I waiting Lee Dong Gun for a long time, and when I see CN Blue perform, I falling in love with Yong Hwa, and think if someday in the future, maybe they both could act together as siblings. Well, thats really happen now, even they not act as sibling but they act at same drama. Yeayyy

I don't see anything pretty in Yoon Eun-Hye. She's actually ugly!
Required fields are marked *
skelly
September 19, 2013 at 2:36 PM
She's "actually" someone who obviously hasn't gone under then knife ten million times until she looks exactly like everyone else. She's "actually" someone who bothers to act, who does what she should as an actor and puts herself fully into the part, even if some people might think that character was "ugly."
She got the same sort of criticism for her role in Coffee Prince (how can she look so ugly? Isn't she taking this whole thing too far?) and if so, I applaud her bravery and have high hopes for another standout performance from her (which doesn't always happen).
She's not being a model here - when she is modeling, she is quite lovely. She is acting here. I wish more of her fellow actresses would do the same.

Shadow-chan
September 19, 2013 at 3:20 PM
I totally agree with you. I don't think she's super beautiful or anything either, but definitely not ugly - she's simply normal. And pretty enough with make up and everything.
What I really liked about Coffee Prince was that I could believe that everyone mistook her for a guy (hell, I even forgot myself sometimes that she wasn't...) - something I have a hard time with usually in other shows.
Well, I think this drama sounds quite interesting, so I hope it will be good :)

YH has such good image to the public and he's well loved
cnblue might get some hate but not yonghwa himself
his drama did so well overseas despite low rating in korea
guy might be a bad actor but he's a good musician who composed good ost songs for the drama
i think he has potential but he need to stop being self-conscious when he's acting, that's what made his seems stiff and awkward on screen

Look at the bright side of having JYH as a lead...the OST will be fabu and he's really easy to edit because there isn't a distracting amount of facial changes to give away where the actors actually are in each scene.
And, that means no wasted footage because if they don't use it for this episode, they can use it for another one as long as he only wears denim shirts.
Which isn't completely outside the realm of fashion possibility, right?
JHY, fighting!

I think that's a great idea. jomo. His "inanimate" qualities could really come in handy with the background props as well. Need a tree? Grab YH. Looking for some foliage? Here's YH. We could have a YH wall, a YH lamp post, a YH standing fan...the list goes on. Think of the enormous costs saved when an actor is also a prop.
