Drama Casting & News
Maybe Triple will be watchable after all
by | September 10, 2008 | 37 Comments

Wait, what in the hey-what-now?

Yoon Kye-sang has been cast in the figure-skating trendy drama, helmed by the director of Coffee Prince, Triple?

First, talented director Lee Yoon-jung managed to sway Lee Seon-kyun (Coffee Prince, My Sweet Seoul) into joining her for this latest drama venture, featuring a young and inexperienced new singer in her acting debut, Min Hyo-rin of the “luxury nose.” Now she’s got Yoon Kye-sang (Who Are You?, Crazy in Love) onboard as well.

(I loved Yoon Kye-sang in Who Are You? Was it a groundbreaking or even artistically challenging drama? No. But it was poignant and often engagingly funny, and he was the best thing in it.)

Yoon Kye-sang is described as taking the lead male role, but it doesn’t sound like he’s taking Jung Il-woo‘s recently vacated spot as a speed skater. Instead, he’s one of three employees in an ad agency (another being played by Lee Seon-kyun).

Huh. Triple just jumped up from being an embarrassing guilty pleasure to being a shameless guilty pleasure. Although I’m still not sold on Min Hyo-rin. Can we ditch her and just have our two lovely leading men fall in love instead? It’ll be like Coffee Prince: What Could Have Been if the Girl Who Looked Like A Dude Was Actually A Dude (on Skates).

Triple is scheduled for a January premiere on MBC.

    you crazy girl. kekeke.

  5. amy

    hmm… so it sounds like LSK’s going to be a 2nd male lead AGAIN.. kind of sad for him but now that YKS is cast in this drama I think I’ll actually watch this drama. I saw Beastie Boys and I was impressed with his acting… and loved his voice in it.

  6. nycgrl

    I’m watching this. Who are you’s success was purely due to YKS. I have to say I was going to pass on this until he joined but I love both guys a lot.

  7. XinXin

    ^_^

    Love YKS

  8. jenjen

    HAHA oh, the what ifs
    only which one would be the more feminine one? hmmm

  9. cinderella

    Well, I might just watch it for Yoon Kye Sang, though I still think the drama’s as shady as it seems.

    I love Yoon Kye Sang! I just fell for him ever since I watched “Who are you?”… He totally proved his versatility!

    I CANNOT AGREE MORE
    the man is lovely

    min hyo rin’s okay
    although she’s a tad bit too young for the leading men =/

  12. 12 cullenhale

    yes! two gorgeous male leads…I love both of the so much.

  13. 13 K-lover

    If Lee Sun Gyun and Yoon Kye Sang are in it, I’m all for it…As long as they don’t do something similar to “Blades of Glory”, lol

  14. 14 Anonymous

    who can guess an ex-boyband can turn to be this good?

  17. 17 missmanderley

    i definitely agree…. y’know what we could always just ignore Miss Luxury Nose, Min Hyorin…. unless it turns out that she’s this freakish amazing actress.

  18. 18 Movall

    Wow, such a great news for a day.
    I dont know Min Hyorin, but YKS and LSK with CP’s director, that’s more than enough.
    And look how many comments for this piece, all excited.
    Ha ha ha “It’ll be like Coffee Prince: What Could Have Been if the Girl Who Looked Like A Dude Was Actually A Dude (on Skates).”

  23. 23 nomad

    lol @ javabeans! i wasn’t even planning on watching this drama until you mentioned Yoon Kye-sang! :)

  24. 24 Sere

    “Can we ditch her and just have our two lovely leading men fall in love instead? It’ll be like Coffee Prince: What Could Have Been if the Girl Who Looked Like A Dude Was Actually A Dude (on Skates)”

    LOL. I second that! Would very, very much like to see something like this.

    Which reminds me, has it ever happened in the history of Kdramas that the main pairing was actually male/male or female/female? Or, well, even a secondary pairing? Cos I haven’t had the pleasure to stumble upon one yet. True, I’ve watched Kdramas for only a few months, but…

  25. 25 Suzy

    Ah, this news makes me so very HAPPY!!! More Yoon Kye-sang! YAY!!!

  26. 26 Cottagegirl

    Finally….I’ve been waiting for news about YKS’s next project. Thanks for the news.
    a bit of a crush for this old gal.

  27. 27 invisibelle

    Lee Seon Kyun would’ve gotten it a maybe from me, but if Yoon Kye Sang is going to be in it, consider me completely sold.

    He was just too good in WAY?… definitely have a thing for him.

  28. 28 Row

    This does it for me then! I’ll watch it so I can just stare at him and dream… Hah-ha-ha!!! He’s an eye candy indeed.

  29. 29 katy rose.

    so everyone loves YKS from Who Are You? haha. I loved him since My Sistr-In-Law is 19. I didn’t love the show half as much as I loved him. [[[:
