Joo Ji-hoon and Yoon Eun-hye, (almost) back together again

Goong lovers, take note! Your favorite faux royal couple, Yoon Eun-hye and Joo Ji-hoon, just may be teaming up again in a new drama.

The two former onscreen lovebirds are top picks for the lead couple in MBC’s new Personal Taste [개인의 취향 — working title]. One rep from the drama side explained that the production company is nearly finished with its casting and contract issues, and put the likelihood of a Yoon-Joo match-up at “very high.”

The plot: A restless girl wants a gay (male) friend, ’cause fag hags are cool. The guy wants a place to live, so he pretends to be gay as they live together.

In an interesting genre pair-up, we have the director of the jokey rom-com Fantasy Couple (Kim Sang-ho) and the writer of the weepie Sad Sonata (Lee Sung-eun) working together.

Okay, first of all, we have several favorite kdrama clichés built right into the premise, including two of my favorites (cheesy but effective!): enforced proximity (the better for falling in looove!) and mistaken/pretend identity (to add angst when the pretender has to unveil his/her true self). This sounds like a hasty potluck of past hits, drawn upon in hopes of re-creating prior successes, like a Coffee Prince meets Fantasy Couple meets Bottom of the Ninth with Two Outs.

Second of all, it sounds AWESOME.

Great news!! With our girl out galavanting across the globe at break-neck speed, it will be nice to finally have her "slow down" for a change so that we may get the chance to study her doing what she does best; making us fall in love with her again over the span of 20 or so hours and a myriad of emotions. Happy to have you back, Eun-Hye. Now if we can just get Goo Hye Sun out of those costume dramas and back into the present, my K-Drama wishes for 2009 will have come true!

keke. I don't care too much for the casting (JJH has never rocked my socks -- although i CAN actually see him pulling off gay, since he's so metro already) but the story sounds wonderfully cheesetastic. Although I hope the PD doesn't ruin it by going too over-the-top.

It's not even cliche, besides the living together.
I don't think they've ever done a "fake gay" thing going on.
Because in Coffee Prince, Gong Yoo actually thought he was gay and didn't care.
Whatever. That's so exciting.
That'd be amazing.

And i absolutely loved Bottom of the 9th with Two outs.
Thanks!

I really loved Goong so seeing the 2 of them together in a different drama will be cool =]
And he's gonna try being gay; I'd love to see how that goes, LOL.

Goong was a disaster for me, so much so that I simply avoided dramas starring respective actors. Yes, including Coffee Prince, but that's a different story.

I'm starving for new drama. This doesn't sound too cliche' or cheesy for me. Even though the characters do seem stupid but it will excited to see how they pull off. "Fake gay" !!! LOL

True, Goong wasn't excellent and overrated but I enjoyed it.

The story sounds fun but I really don't like Joo Ji Hoon's acting. Yoon Eun Hye- though she is not a fantastic actress, she's still a good one- will be outshining him scene after scene. Joo Ji Hoon has an aloof monotone model quality while Yoon Eun Hye really shines on screen.

but who knows- maybe this drama will be for Joo Ji Hoon like Hong Gil Dong was for Sung Yuri.

oooh goody I hope it's true! I've actually taken a hiatus from watching k-dramas for a while because I'm feeling extra lazy, but I'm totally gonna start again when 'The world they live in' starts and I'll definitely keep an ear out for this since the story does sound cheesy but fun! Gosh I hope it's those two again, I've missed them.

And once again yay for cheese!

this drama EXCITES me. as long as it doesn't, you know, suck. Because it has a good premise, but that doesn't mean the show is going to be like, "Oh My God This Is Pretty Freaking Amazing Stuff Right Here" status or anything. sooo. fingers crossed the writers&PD don't totally screw up what could potentially be really good.

omg, if this comes true, i'll just die. I'm anticipating both YEH and JJH because despite hating Goong, I so loved this couple. I hope it does come true. To be honest, I cannot wait to see if JJH could pull off gay, that would be awesome.

I liked Goong, and the premise sounds really hilarious. Kind of like Chuck and Larry, but actually funny I hope.

Haha, I can already imagine so many cute scenes, like JJH having to pretend to be attracted to guys, and getting jealous when they talk about it.

Not too crazy about Joo Ji Hoon, but I'm pretty crazy about Yoon Eun Hye. I loved all her dramas including The Man In The Vineyard.

I actually can picture JJH in a gay role because I've always thought that his body type and the way he walks and dress is a bit gayish, so this role is a perfect fit.

Goong's one of kdrama I never get bored of watching.
Especially a scene in ep 10.. butterflies started flying in my tummy once I saw that.
Me and my best friend can even memorize almost all the scenes in Goong.
Sadly not many share our enthusiasm.. sob..sob..

So, for JJH and YEH to be together again.. it's a DREAM COMES TRUE for us!

I too think Goong 2 would be too much to handle, but this new drama sounds fun.
I need to get YEH's boyish image from Coffee Prince (though I LOVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE her in it..)
Need to see her all feminine+cute again..
For old time sake..
:D

Hope this will be real!

Great news! I love them in Goong or Princess Hours! I hope this team-up materialized as they have a great chem together! I just can't wait! (Palei palei or hurry in Korean, not sure if I spelled it right though). I sure am excited already! Love them both!

It looks as if fans are jumping in conclusion too fast. I wouldn't get that excited yet, cause YEH hasn't even received nor seen the script yet. And ultimately, it's not even sure whether she's going to accept it or not.

Im not really a fan of the yeh-jjh team up but i am open to see if I can feel the so called goong chemistry some fans are so grooving about. I agree with javabeans that jjh can definitely pull off the gay role, the guy is so metrosexual, look at most of his photos, he TOTALLY got the look - ultra sophisticated gayish whatever you call it. The role is perfect for him. This will probably be cheesy but I am excited with the storyline.
