| Kim Hyo-jin joins Mary Stayed Out All Night Posted: 29 Sep 2010 05:30 AM PDT Kim Hyo-jin returns to television in the highly anticipated Mary Stayed Out All Night, which has already got me pumped up for its main trio of Moon Geun-young, Jang Geun-seok, and Kim Jae-wook. Those three end up in a tangle of fake marriage shenanigans (Mary gets involved in a “simulated marriage relationship” with both men), the details of which I’m itching to find out. Kim will play an actress, “Seo Joon,” a character created newly for the drama version that wasn’t in the original manhwa. She’s the type of beautiful and talented celeb whom all women envy, and comes from a good background to boot. She’s also the “bold and confident” ex-girlfriend of Mu-gyul, the bohemian musician played by Jang Geun-seok. (Funny how I always think of Kim Hyo-jin as much older, although she’s only got three years on Jang; she’s 26, he’s 23.) Kim’s last drama was the SBS weekend series Happiness in 2008; more recently, she acted in movies Ogamdo and Jeon Woo Chi. She said, “In playing this new character who wasn’t in the original series, I think I’ll be able to deliver a fresh sense of fun to the viewers. As an actress, I find it interesting to play an actress in the drama. On top of that, Seo Joon has both looks and talent, and is a very attractive person.” Kim (also well known as Yoo Ji-tae’s girlfriend) recently acted in the stage play Fool For Love, to which she refers when she says, “After standing on the theater stage, I had the opportunity to learn a lot as an actor. Now, I’ll do my best to convey Seo Joon’s appeal to the viewers of the drama.” A few connections: Kim’s play was the first to run as a part of the 2010 “I Like the Stage” Play Festival, while co-star Moon Geun-young’s play, Closer, was the festival’s second. Both actresses also participated in the “Love Tree Project,” Namoo Actors’ album put out to raise funds for charity. The album’s songs were sung by the actors contracted with the management company, which represents both Moon and Kim. Mary Stayed Out All Night will follow Sungkyunkwan Scandal on KBS, and premieres on November 8. I’m looking forward to it! Via Hankyung RELATED POSTS

| Brisk start for Dr. Champ, Sungkyunkwan hits 10% Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:55 PM PDT Medical-sports drama Dr. Champ premiered this week, replacing I Am Legend in the Monday-Tuesday SBS lineup, and has gotten off to a promising start with solid ratings and general praise from viewers. Episode 1 brought in a 12.4%, and Episode 2 followed that with a 12%. For comparison purposes, I Am Legend (which got off to a solid start but began faltering in the latter half) ended on an 8.9%, so this is hopeful news for Dr. Champ. It stars Kim So-yeon and Uhm Tae-woong as doctors at Taereung, the Olympic training facility, while Jung Kyeo-woon and Cha Ye-ryun join the romantic mix as a judo player and a swimming coach, respectively.

| Lee Min-ki cast as a California drifter Posted: 28 Sep 2010 02:29 PM PDT Lee Min-ki has been selected to headline the movie Road to Utah, which is a project that re-teams him with director Kim Jung-joong, with whom he worked on one of his previous movies, Oishii Man. Sounds like Lee Min-ki is perfect for the role of K, a wanderer who has become lost in gambling and drinking. In Los Angeles, K has a chance meeting with Jin-yi, a woman with no hope and a rare disease who decides to go on one last trip before she dies. The two end up heading for Utah, and the movie is about what unfolds along the way. The female lead has not been cast; producers have announced that they would pick their leading lady from an open casting call, looking everywhere from established actresses to rookies. They are looking for a “fresh face who isn’t typical of current actresses,” and casting will continue through early October. Road to Utah will film in California (do we need to worry about some, uh, enthusiastic fans resorting to some stalker action?), and plans to begin shooting in mid-October. Via E Daily RELATED POSTS

| Posted: 28 Sep 2010 10:52 AM PDT Here it is: the perfect opportunity to put to rest the Clark Kent/Superman theories about javabeans and girlfriday. Yup, you guessed it. A public appearance. For real. In person. There will even be plenty of comic book experts around for backup on the Superman mythos, and the rules of defying the space-time continuum. We’ll be on a panel hosted by the lovely people over at DramaFever, about Asian entertainment and pop culture. We have a sneaking suspicion that they want us to talk about K-dramas. Just a hunch. Here’s the official panel description from NY Comic Con:
Friday, October 8 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm Jacob K. Javits Center, Room 1E14 Ticket Info at NY Comic Con: here. We were originally planning to send JavaBot 2.0 and FridayTron 3000, but they failed a round of basic Q&A, so whadduya gonna do? We have to show up in person. Time to buy new shoes! See you in NYC! © girlfriday for Dramabeans, 2010. | Permalink | 207 comments | Add to del.icio.us  |
