Ohn Joo-wan may become Sooyoung’s Man Who Sets the Table

by tineybeanie

News has popped up that cutie actor Ohn Joo-wan (Beautiful Gong Shim) is in consideration for a new project, and has been offered the role as Sooyoung’s (Police Unit 38) love interest in MBC weekender Man Who Sets the Table.

The plot details are still vague at this point; perhaps planning hasn’t gotten that far into specifics yet because the drama won’t air until later this fall. However, we know it’ll be the second collaboration since Hooray For Love between PD Joo Sung-woo (Hundred Year Inheritance, Legendary Witch) and writer Park Hyun-joo (Wonderful Mama, Queen’s Flower). Both are experienced veterans at weekend makjang-style dramas, so maybe that’s where Man Who Sets the Table is headed.

I usually think of Ohn Joo-wan as the actor with the adorable smiling half-moon eyes who generally plays nonaggressive secondary characters, usually a Daddy Long Legs type who watches the girl from afar. For the upcoming Man Who Sets the Table, the title suggests a diversion from traditional gender roles, so it may not be too much of a departure from Ohn Joo-wan’s soft-spoken, caring image if he’ll be playing a supportive type here.

While this schedule isn’t set in stone, MBC has announced that it wants to begin broadcast for weekend drama Man Who Sets the Table in September, following You’re Too Much. Sooyoung has already committed to another web drama project in between, so we probably won’t see it any earlier.

its hilarious that's she doing the JTBC web drama with Lee Won Geun too, considering how I always think LWG and Ohn Joo Wan are doppelgangers

I love Ohn Joo-wan! He's such a cutie. I'd be totally okay if he took the role opposite Sooyoung, who made a very strong impression in Squad 38.

Really, where do they get these names? Random man, setting a random table probably gets random girl who randomly sits there.

Man who sets the table? As in a house-husband? Waiter?
I liked him in Beautiful Gong Shim, so if he accepts then I hope this will be a success!

He was so lovable in Beautiful Gong Shim, but also remembered him as (one of) the guy you want to punch in Punch. I think he can do more than just a regular sweet guy, hope he got a meatier role for whichever new project he chose.

I hope to see Soo Young in a better kdrama once again. I was so disappointed and annoyed with her role on Squad 38. Her role on My Spring Days was memorable and I must have watched that kdrama more than 4 times since it came on.
