So... another candy-type character for her? (A bar that operates in the daytime sounds kinda weird, heh.)

When I saw this heading I also thought it was kinda weird because of High Society, hah! I liked her there, but when I watched Jackpot, I wasn't impressed by her character portrayal there at all, so I've mixed feelings about whether I'll try another of her shows again...

I'm also vaguely meh about Sung Joon because of High Society (liked Hyungsik way too much over the main couple), but hopefully I'll have the time to give this a try when it airs!

I loved her in High Society! And loved her with Park Hyungsik! They are still one of my favorite kdrama couple! But, she was great with Sung Joon too (maybe it was the UEE-Sung Joon that just didn't work out, as she was great with UEE too!) so hoping to see them both together! With a cameo from Park Hyungsik?! Please drama gods!

Recycle. Rinse. Repeat. Recycle. I didn't watch Perfect Wife beyond the second episode, but I'm wondering if Sung Joon can expand his acting repertoire into other territory than handsome male lead? Frankly, I think he sucks as a romcom lead (High Society, Madam Antoinette) but was fantastic in his characters in White Christmas and Shut Up Flower Boy Band. Maybe playing a detective for a change?

Visually - they are matched with each other. Acting - not sure. I liked Sung Joon -Uee storyline better in High Society (despite of lack of chemistry etc) because I like more mature story,and didn't really like second leads storyline like many others( yeah they were cute but that's all).

I think Sung Joon always match well with noona, but maybe it depends on the storyline too. Im Ji Yeon was always a miss for me, including her recent project Blow Breeze (it was due to poorly written drama as well). These two are just meh but if you give them a storyline like what she had with Park HYun Sik in HS, maybe it will be watcheable because the lack of acting can sometimes be covered with the loads of amounts of cuteness of the romance and loveline (just like My Secret Romance).

Um...I havent even read the article, but this pairing makes me uncomfortable. I managed to finish High Society a couple weeks ago and Im Ji-yeon. Is. Hyung-shik's. Girl. Period.

I loved her and park hyungsik together. Not sure about Sungjoon.

I actually love the description of Sung Joon's character in this. And I would be keen on the idea of a daytime bar. Still have the moody lighting and expensive drinks, sleek atmosphere, and some blissful quiet.

Premise sounds quirky, and totally aboard these two on rom-com, as long as there is no dead body...

Sung Joon.. He has a perfect visual from head to toe but idk so far I'm not so impress with his acting (his role). Maybe he should try a different role or genre. Don't give him a suit or being a Tsundere... Maybe he should try a thriller instead rom-com?

LOL

Both of them are still too green for me, it's like they're still rookie actors, but they suit each other in a context that they will not overshadow each other, best wishes tho I hope they surprise me as a doubter

No, just no. The only thing that made the whole ordeal that was High Society somehow bearable was Hyungsik (even earning Yoo Ah In's praise for his performance and now they're in the same agency). He hard carried the show and Im Ji Yeon heavily depended on him. They sure were cute together but acting wise, he's on another league imo. Sung Joon needs a strong partner to shine and Im Ji Yeon is certainly not the right one. Why not choose someone like Baek Jin Hee for example? They would make an interesting pair imo.

The premise doesn't sound that exciting. Sung Hoon is also a rather bland actor in my books. Lead actress is quite ok. Think I'll pass. Too many dramas, too little time.

Ummmmmmmm, no. She is Hyung Shik's girl. I can't picture them together.

i love her, but am a little dissappointed that she will be playing a character she has played already. well, at least shes really talented so am keeping positive

I really liked her in High Society since her relationship with Park Hyung Shik was just so adorable. It was all fluffy and lighthearted whereas Sung Joon's relationship with UEE was a little more intense. I don't think I could really see them together, but I will certainly give this show a try. Overall, I have a very good impression Im Ji Yeon and like many said before, if Park Hyung Shik did a cameo, all my feelings for this past couple might even beat the main couple line.

Kinda on the fence on this one. Almost same character as her High Society character and Sung Joon cant seem to convince me in his recent dramas including High Society

High society was extremely messed up...... Well hoping for best *fingers crossed*

I don't particularly like Sung Joon, nor do I see him taking this kind of role after things like Madam Antoine where he played very upright characters. Regardless, I'm interested in seeing where this project goes.

I beg to disagree & agree with most of the comments here. I agree I'm not sure about her for this role, especially with my Sung Joon! I liked her in High Society with Hyungsik as well, they were adorable, and I liked her friendship with Sung Joon & Uee, but not sure about a romance for these two, would much rather see him with a more fiery, exciting actress?

But as far as Sung Joon goes, I'm over the top excited to see him in anything again! I have absolutely loved him in everything he's been in, he's played different characters in every one and I thought he portrayed each character perfectly! Like in High Society, the one that gets the most criticism, his acting was on point. He was more serious, stiff, and subdued because that was the CHARACTER & personality he was playing! His character Joon ki was jaded, disillusioned & calculating but he was still a good person, he was just closed off to his feelings and had put up a wall to defend himself in his pursuit of what he thought would bring him happiness. He was very focused almost to the point of having blinders, so he wouldn't allow anything to get in his way of achieving his goal, not even his love for his mother. I think he understood his character very well & portrayed it. The problem was not with his acting but on the writing & story line. They spent way too much time getting him to his point of realization of what he really wanted & his love for Yoon ha, then they only had 1 or 2 ep left so there wasn't enough time to fully develop his character transformation or his love & relationship with Yoon-ha. That was disappointing! There was way too much time spent on the side story issues of Yoon-ha's family that were needless & frustrating. They needed to focus more on the main couples, but that's not his fault.

Then Madam Antoine? Again that is one of my favorite of his omgoodness! Don't know how people cannot like him in that! Again, I don't think they are understanding the CHARACTER he is playing & portraying! I thought he was outstanding in that, he was smart, funny, romantic, and serious with issues to overcome. It had everything! And to say he's not cut out for romantic leads!!?? Are you just blind? Have you not seen him kiss, or talk, or his expressions, or his smile, or grin???? He doesn't even have to speak, sometimes his look or expression says it all, that is great acting, when you can tell what they are thinking with just a look.
And Perfect Wife? That was his best performance yet imo! Hands down, he was exceptional in every way! I don't care what drama or role he has, but when he comes on the screen, he steals the scene for me, he is all I notice or see! His persona from head to toe is so dang captivating! I could go on & on! Lol!

And if you want to see him in a different role, watch Jekly & Hyde, he wasn't even in a romantic role, but that's where I first saw and fell in love with him! I was like, who is this guy? Again, he just completely captivated &...

I wonder if Sung Joon is ever going to bring back the magic of the I Need Romance 3 era...

I'll see how Sassy girl goes first and then decide if I will watch this with her.

I haven't read the articld. But squeal!

I still like Sung Joon, he isn't always his best self but something is very likeable about him. And Im Ji-yeon hasn't been given roles to match her talent. So yeah, long story short, I'm excited for this pairing.

I like her, and her personality too. Hope it's good.

I always found it hard to connect to Sung Joon's roles, including his most recent one in Perfect Wife. Still, I hope it goes well for him and Ji-yeon, viewership-wise, because it may be critical for them to secure leading roles in mini-series in the future, especially for Ji-yeon.

Sung joon is ok with the right role, she is so so. Not sure a good match. Will wait and see

Im Ji yeon is definately good for this role but i can't immagine Sung joon in a rom-com. For me he's rather good in acting as the bad guy like in hyde Jekyll and me...

Ahhhh Sung Joon. Waiting for him to find that sweet spot in connecting with his roles again. I think he needs a darker character, someone a little dangerous and devil-may-care. It seems like his acting has lost its spark but maybe it's just the roles he's been taking on.

I'd be interested in seeing this pair on screen.

I don't know if the drama sounds that exciting. Definitely will depend on the writing. I thought Sung Joon was quite good in Perfect Wife and in terms of a quality drama, I think PW has been his best one since I Love Romance III (that I've seen anyway). I don't blame him for High Society, a drama I dumped after one episode because of the story.
