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.

    for me, goodbye solo is the best drama he’s in, fashion’s 70s: i only notice him when his bin-shi’s on screen, his character stole the show for ample fangirling…. then he’s all cherubic cute and noona killer in Fox…. now he’s giving me a twisted prince charming w/ a dream cast… what more can a fangirl ask?!

    i think MGY and him has a facial resemblance/’harmony’ that’s very good match if we’re into face reading. ;)

    “fashion’s 70s: i only notice him when his bin-shi’s on screen, his character stole the show for ample fangirling”

    Oh, word. He stole the entire show from JJM, LYW and KMJ, except….for the helicopter scene when JJM lands like a greek god on Jeju and whirls his way into k-drama folklore forever and forever as to how to make an *entrance*.

    CJM has *it*, you know? A very unique actor – talent belied by genuine charm. Do you see a young Leslie in him?

    ^ true….. ahhhh

    but call me pervie, it’s reflex now F70s = wetsuit + rolling in mud + rain to rid mud + stripping and me going “bin-sssshhhhiiii~’….what helicoptor? jkjk

    OMIGAWD!!!!!

    i was looking forward to this drama but now i am REALLY REALLY REALLY looking forward to it….i LOVE this guy!!!

    aaaahhhhh!!!! im excited *insert fangirl squeal* lol

    and i completely agree with those who suggest you just fast forward to his parts in Fashion 70′s….he steals every scene…so sexy! and it doesn’t hurt that he’s a talented actor to boot…

    those cheeks! that beautiful smile! those expressive puppy eyes!
    I haven’t been this excited over a drama in a LONG time *giddy*

    His comeback to TV has been long due, but NVM, cos he’s finally BACK! YAYYYYY!!

    And this time in a drama with so many of my fav ppl, MGY and Seo Woo, I even love the writer because she penned Piano and Robber (which I thought were very good but depressing dramas). Can’t wait to see how she’d take on this Cinderella theme drama..hmmmm…

    Again, you cannot get better casting than this – EVER!

    @ all Fashion 70s watchers, roughly which episodes should I watch and fast forward to see all the above-mentioned scenes?

    @ 41 lanlan
    boy you’re missing a lot! that’s what i thought when i first saw chun jung myung’s face, *oh here’s another alright-looking guy that I probably would soon forget*. then after just 2 episodes of what’s up fox, i took it back. completely melted. he’s just so charming and likeable. u should see him act!

  11. 61 Dramaniac

    Oh wow, JB!!! I remember you mentioning it on a previous thread when the majority of us were asking for a reunion of Im Ju Hwan and Seo Woo. I can’t complain with this casting. I am dying to see how the military may have changed his acting technique (i.e. Goo Soo). I truly loved Chun in What’s Up Fox? as Chul Soo. *Scream…I can’t wait!!!!!

  12. 62 onemorepls

    @lettuce,

    So here you go:

    Roman God Helicopter scene (my favorite scene in all of K-drama): Episode 5 / 55:40

    CJM’s “OMO!!OMO!!OMO!!” mud/strip scene: Episode 6 / 2:30 (and mm hmm there ain’t nuthin between him and his jeans ;) )

    F70/QSD Trivia: LYW’s mom became Mishil’s high priestess in Queen Seon Duk. Joo Jin Moo was originally offered the role to play Yushin (I think LYW recommended him.)

    And from What’s Up Fox

    CJM’s OSS (Omo-omo-obligatory Shower Scene.) Episode 1 / 16:20

    This Mishil “violating” CJM ;) : Episode 1 / 26:20

  15. 65 Alison

    damn JB, you’re good. wanna give a go at the oscar and golden globe winners? or better yet, maybe some lottery numbers?

    this drama looks interesting. kind of like my love patzzi and wicked. AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR CHUN JUNG MYUNG!!!

  16. 66 alodia

  18. 68 Aries

    OMG! *another fangirl squeal* I luuurved him in What’s Up, Fox and I’m so glad he picked this drama to make his comeback. Love MGY too ^_^

    2010 for kdramas looks extremely bright with so many potentially interesting dramas such as Cinderella’s Sister and The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry airing soon, not to mention the dramas already on air such as Chuno, WISFC and Pasta. I’m a happy girl!

    @ 63 Mookie…Thank you for sharing that video clip. I was watching it intensely and the next thing I know, I’m drooling watching him taking off the scuba gear.

    @ 63 mookie and 64 belleza

    thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You guys fellow CJM fans are amazing. Ohh isn’t that man delicious! Every kdrama PD / writer feels obliged to take advantage of our Jung Myung for gratuitous fan service. How generous of them!

    FIrst movie seen from him is Hansel and Gretel and thought he was alright … didn’t know much about him then. Watched H&G because well the title sounded interesting and the movie really is amazing. Anyways moving on to this actor, decided to watch Fashion 70s because Joo Jin Mo and Lee Yo Won starred in it. While I wasn’t impressed by those two’s roles in that drama, I found myself becoming a fan of the “2nd lead” and didn’t know that it was the same guy from Hansel and Gretel. OMG what a huge difference that was!!

    On H&G, he’s more like the weak type of guy, but on Fashion, he’s become cool and charming. I really wanted him to get the girl at the end even if Joo Jin Mo is the male lead (they really wasted Joo Jin Mo’s talent on that drama).

    Really cannot wait till Cinderella’s Sister premieres. All the cast are looking fantastic so far.

    Ive been a fan of him since Foxy Lady with ko hyung jung. I love his smile, very mesmirizing. I am from the philippines and i fell in love with him when foxy lady was shown here.
    By the way he had a celebrity look alike here but i think the two of them have different reputation.
