Jung Kyung-ho and Kim So-yeon headline new JTBC melodrama

by girlfriday

javabeans: Jung Kyung-ho and Kim So-yeon are heading a new JTBC drama about a man who gets a heart transplant and finds that his heart has “cellular memory syndrome” that recalls feelings of love. Does this sound familiar to you at all?

girlfriday: Wait, didn’t his girlfriend Sooyoung just do that drama?

javabeans: Maybe she found it so transformative that she had to share the experience with her boyfriend by making him live it himself.

girlfriday: Sometimes sharing is not caring.

javabeans: It’s titled Falling For Innocence, and it’s being scheduled for the post-Maids slot on Fridays and Saturdays on JTBC. I guess they’re committing to that weekend slot then.

girlfriday: So it’s a drama about a guy who gets a new heart, and the heart falls in love with Kim So-yeon, and therefore he loves her too? Why can’t a boy just meet a girl?

javabeans: You mean like real people? But that would be so prosaic. So ordinary. So…

girlfriday: Natural, realistic, and relatable? How horrible!

javabeans: I would have thought JTBC would come up with something more off the beaten path. I wonder if there’s a really important detail being left out, because what’s so interesting about a rich businessman with a cold heart falling in love with a warm-hearted secretary who changes his life?

girlfriday: Yes, I hope there’s a twist. Jung Kyung-ho did do Heartless City with JTBC, so maybe he knows something we don’t. Maybe he’s an undercover businessman pretending to be an asshole.

javabeans: That would be more exciting. Now I want her to be a North Korean spy who’s just posing as an ordinary secretary.

girlfriday: Agh, I miss Kim So-yeon as a badass spy. I like her in all sorts of roles, but nothing beats her IRIS character. It’s really not the most inventive premise, but there might be enough in Jung Kyung-ho and Kim So-yeon alone. Though mostly I just want to put their IRIS and Heartless City characters in a room and see what happens.

javabeans: But no killing or dying! Maybe take away their guns first.

girlfriday: Well according to this drama, they hash out some business contracts and fall in love in the process. Exciting stuff. Don’tcha kinda want some dying and/or killing?

javabeans: Then we’d really have My Heartless Days, literally. *rimshot*

Oh its the same premise but I hope they did something different with it. Like he gets heart transplant, gets attracted to second lead totally forgets his pepper potts, but then he realizes weather earlier heart or this one he always loved his secretary. When she gives him a two weeks notice ;)

Oooh yay. I like these two actors a lot, especially from their roles in Heartless City and IRIS.

The premise isn't that great, but I hope there are some twists to make things interesting. PLEASEBEGOOD.

Wow! Two of my favorite K-actors in a romantic drama? Yeeeeeeeeees!

But the drama's subject seems boring (and of course, done before).

I have big hopes for this! *crosses fingers*

I'd watch My Heartless Days. Mostly for more Baksa Adeul. Loved JKH in that role! I will never forget.

I am most excited. I love Jung Kyung Ho since Time of Dog and Wolf. I haven't seen hil in a while though. I also like Kim So Yeon. And I lust day she always does have fine chemistry with her leading men (Prosecutor Princess, Dr. Champ, I Need Romance)
These two actors are good at tugging tearful emotions (JKH, Time of Dog and Wolf) and (Kim So Yeon, Iris)

I would live to see this happen. Thanks for the post

You guys were so wrong about this drama. It was really heartfelt, the business drama was intense because so much was at stake, it also had crime elements, and the love story was really eloquent. Jung Kyung-ho is really adorable and funny in this. Despite all your predictions, it was one of the most interesting dramas, if not the most interesting drama, I've seen.
