Cinderella’s Sister casts Chun Jung-myung
by | January 14, 2010 | 86 Comments

OMG, I almost never get my dream casting choices. When I suggested Chun Jung-myung for the male lead of Cinderella’s Sister — which stars Moon Geun-young in the misunderstood stepsister role and Seo Woo as the kind Cinderella — I had no clue he’d actually be cast in it!

This is AWESOME. Chun was recently discharged from military service, and this’ll mark his television comeback. It’s his first drama in four years, since What’s Up Fox (his last film role was three years ago in the horror flick Hansel and Gretel). Though he still has a baby face, Chun has a lot of range, spanning from the childish to the mature; he is as capable of being humorous (as he showed in What’s Up Fox) as he is being more serious and intense (Goodbye Solo), and has a confidence that is damn sexy (Fashion ’70s).

Per the title, this drama takes a twist on the familiar tale by putting the stepsister in the lead role (Moon), while Cinderella plots revenge on her stepsister and stepmother. Cinderella’s Sister will be broadcast on KBS in March.

  14. 14 Boe

    Although I can’t say much about Fashion 70′s (never saw it), he was great to watch in Goodbye Solo and What’s Up Fox. This is an awesome development, I look forward to watching the drama XD

  15. 15 nycgrl

    Whoohoo. I think I’ll now watch this. I just finished What’s Up Fox and I thought he was pretty good (not great) but he is talented enough to get me excited about this cast and drama. He is such a cutie. Reminds of a young Matthew Broderick circa War Games and Ferris Bueller.

  16. 16 lovenyc52

    oh hooray! i watched What’s Up Fox a few weeks ago and loved him in it. Very excited!! He is such a cutie too! Belleza was quick on calling dibs ;)

  17. 17 Pink _Fox

    oh yeah! BABYFACE’s my fav!

  18. 18 Carmie

    OMG! OMG! *fan girl squeal* I HAVE to watch this drama! I love Chun Jung Myung! I can’t wait until March. Omona! Aigoo I can’t believe this is really real. Moon Geun Young and Chung Jung Myung in the same drama.

  19. 19 charm

    Awesome cast! I’m a bit unsatisfied with Seo Woo though cause she annoyed me in Tamna. If the story is twisted and the stepsister is the lead then is CMH pair up with Moon?

  20. 20 Artemis

    OMG, I squealed out loud! This is awesome news! I find the story weird, but with those leads, it can’t go wrong, can it? What a great year 2010 already is drama wise. YAY!

  21. 21 E

    The drama sounds amazing with the two leads!! I’m hoping it’s more on the comedic side~~ than too much dramatic twists….

  22. 22 simplesim

    Bin-shiiii! I second @mookie. Belleza, please share, okay? :-D

    Thanks JB. I just gotta post becos of this news. I am soo down from real life drama but this is something to look forward to. :-)

    @Boe
    He’s BEST in Fashion 70′s! Don’t have to watch all 28eps just skip to all his parts and his white jeep. Lol

  23. 23 Sere

    Guys, I keep getting awesome-vibes from 2010 as far as dramas go. Am I the only one who’s THIS excited about this season? Cos. For reals. I can’t even Squee

    Chun Jung-myung! Still baby-faced! how is that even possible? *__* Whenever I see him, I feel like an old ajumma who only wants to pinch his cheeks and go, “awww, you’re sooo cute!”

  24. 24 innocec3

    I was interested in Cinderella’s Sister before, but now I am so watching it!

  27. 27 a_fan

    I’m wondering if the casting directors read your blog, Dramabeans,

  28. 28 pongs

    this is one hot guy! but 4 years..? it feels like yesterday since i’ve watched what’s up fox..

  29. 29 diane

    This made my morning!

  30. 30 Snikki

    WHOA, JB! The k-drama gods heard you; they read your blog.

    I’m liking all the cast so far.

  31. 31 myron

    MINE!

  32. 32 lilly

    The only drama I am looking foward to

  33. 33 Quidam

    Wow, what a great comeback drama for him! This is gonna be good!

  34. 34 Sonam

    What’s up, Fox was the only drama I have seen him in and he was great! Loved the free spirit he played. He has a great sense of self and that’s such an attractive quality.

  35. 35 anna hae

    and off the topic here but looks like kbs is running a great drama after a great drama..not bad . . .

  36. 36 Samsooki

    @simplesim,

    belleza doesn’t share her men, which is a safe practice, but a greedy one.

  37. 37 ockoala

    Oh my, what a dose of great news to start off the day! Congrats to CJM and the production of Cinderella Sister – its a win-win for both. Can you imagine all that charm and talent from the three leads just killing it for our pleasure. I’m swoony over them just thinking about it. And I frankly don’t care who CJM picks in the end – Seo Woo or Moon Chae-won – and go off to make babies. I’m one very satisfied customer already, thank you drama gods! (hhmm, drama gods keep answering my prayers, must have built up some good will somewhere along the way….).

    And one final – Bin!!!

  38. 38 Taohua

    AHHH!!! YESSS!!! I’m so happy that he was casted! One of my favorite actors and he is uber-talented! Oh thank you drama gods! And dang, KBS is starting this year off well! This definitely made my day! The casting for this is fantabulous and yeah either Seo Woo/CJM or MGY/CJM will be awesome. Cannot wait for this to premiere in March!

  39. 39 Carrie

    Okay – my interest level just went from ‘meh’ to OMG I will be glued to the screen watching this. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! So happy that he’s gonna be on TV again. :)

  40. 40 Angela

    OMG!!! YES!!! I was already planning on watching this, but now it’s at the top of my MUST watch list!! I LOVED him in What’s Up Fox. I can’t wait for this to air!!!!!!!

  41. 41 lanlan

    pass!!! another typical Kdrama. do not know any actors in this drama. the male lead does not look that interesting. Moon Geun-young looks so mean, not appealing with her crossed-eyes. next please

    waiting for Song Kye Hyo new drama coming out. it’s worth the wait!

  42. 42 Rovi

    HA!

    JB, wish granted. :)

    “Per the title, this drama takes a twist on the familiar tale by putting the stepsister in the lead role (Moon), while Cinderella plots revenge on her stepsister and stepmother.”

    I didn’t know this story had a twist. I thought that it was the same same story…but then stepsister is now the lead. :P

  43. 43 JJ

    i thought he was in the military? i’m mistaken then! LOL

  44. 44 JJ

    oopps so sorry i didn’t read it well, he was just discharged fr the military…wow how time flies? welcome back i liked him in Fox and i think Fashion 70s?
