hiya dramabeans. i was hoping you could confirm something. i’ve done some research, and none of the korean portals says anyhthing about this and you haven’t reported anything about this either. on wikipedia, it says that moon geun young’s coming out with a new drama called “my cute girlfriend” starring her and her autumn in my heart co-star choi woo hyuk. is it true? i’m super confused. i know not to always trust the internet, but this one’s got me suuper hyyped up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Cute_Girlfriend if you could just help me confirm if it’s true or not.

Getting a daesung for her POTW was not shocking but getting one at her age is. I’m so psyched at this news and I really hope she does take it on! I’ll def. look forward to it if she does ♥

I think MGY is going to be right for the new drama Can’t Lose. She really has the grace of a dancer. I watched her film Innocent Steps where she portrays the role of a young dancer in an international ballroom dance competition and she did it really well. Truly, she keeps on improving. I have yet to see her in an all-out comedy role like Song Hye-Kyo in Full House 1. I just hope that she does not get type-cast in dramas where dance is involved.

PS. I know she’s a very smart girl, and doesn’t do anything haphazardly without thinking long and hard about it, so I’ll follow whatever decision she makes. As a fan of both Moon Geun Young’s acting and her as a human being, I only wish the best for her. After reading what I wrote in my above post, I think I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself and worried a bit more than I should’ve. Who knows maybe ajummas will tune in to watch it^^ Too bad the ratings for triple aren’t better. It sounds like a good drama based on your reviews javabeans, although unfortunately I haven’t been able to watch it yet.

Thanks javabeans for the news. Like you said, this has not been confirmed so I’m planning on waiting for the final word from Moon Geun Young’s management company before getting my hopes up/down. Personally, I hope Moon Geun Young doesn’t take this role in a figure skating drama. According to the news article, if the drama comes out at the end of this year, that’ll mean that she’ll literally have to practice night and day to prepare for this drama. I hope she’d instead just choose a nice, quality ro-co (romantic comedy) for her next project with someone her age once, instead of someone 10-20 years older. I mean, I know she can definitely pull off a ro-co well, and it’s been so long since she’s been in one.. the last one I can think of is is probably her only, “My Little Bride.” But, that’s more comedy than anything really romantic. I hope to see her in a sweet mellow now that she’s a fully grown woman now. I mean, she’s no longer Korea’s younger sister anymore. I want her to act in a drama like Lady Castle with someone like Yoon Sang Hyun, or preferably someone younger. I mean I know that she likes to take challenges and learn new things from each project, but sometimes I’d rather her take the less hard path.

For some reason, I feel like the producers for this drama have leaked this information to the press so that they can get press coverage and use Moon Geun Young’s image, and show that she’s at least read, and is considering this drama for her next project. I really wish the press would make sure that everything’s finalized before jumping the gun.

Also, based on what I’ve seen from DC figure skating gallery fans, the majority of them have been against the production of this drama from the beginning and do not want another figure skating drama coming out especially during the prime season for the figure skating season, which is also right before the 2010 winter olympics. Also, I’m not very sure, but from what I’ve read, apparently the writer for this drama is also problematic, so I’m really hoping Geun-Young would think this over hard before she finalizes anything, especially since she only does projects sparingly due to her schooling (since unlike other college “ghost” students, she actually goes to school). However, if in the end she still chooses to stick with this drama, then I’ll follow her decision and she can count me in as a viewer. I really really liked her in Painter of the Wind as Shin Yoon Bok, so I’ve been waiting patiently for her next project for quite a while. She’s a very talented actress and, personally for me, has the star quality that separates her from the rest of the other stars.

BTW, thanks again javabeans for the all the drama related updates. I’ve been out of touch lately due to work, so it’s always nice to just come here to quickly get up-to-date with the latest news

I didn’t really like Triple…watched 5 episodes of it…and dropped it.

I’m a fan of Moon Geun young! So definitely looking forward to her new project if she picks it!

somehow i don’t think career-themed dramas take off very well. i loved kim myung min in beethoven virus but that was about it. i have a musical background, so i was very familiar with a lot of the things that they dealt with in that drama… and it was just so exaggerated and ridiculous. i skimmed beethoven virus, which probably caused me to miss a lot of high points of his acting.

and i adore moon geun young, but i hope for her sake that this drama is a success. maybe it’s just me personally, but i’ve never been a fan of career-themed dramas. triple works because the skating is almost a sideline thing. it doesn’t figure centrally into the storyline. plus, i used to figure skate, and i’ve adored the sport since i was 10, so i hope they don’t botch something i love/am familiar with… most notably, for me, beethoven virus. lol

Perfect timing with another sports drama. Since the Vancouver Olympics are just around the corner.

Now we just need a drama with CURLING!
