Some happy fans got their “Christmas date” with the cast of Will It Snow For Christmas, per the show’s recent promotional event. If you’ll recall, the SBS drama series held an online event that invited fans to tell memorable Christmas stories, with winners getting to meet the actors and possibly win a background acting part.
Four winners were chosen out of more than a thousand participants and given a brief tour of the broadcast station offices on January 14. They shared a meal with lead actors Go Soo, Han Ye-seul, Sunwoo Sun, Song Jong-ho, and Kim Ki-bang, and took photos with supporting actress Jo Min-soo, who plays Go Soo’s mother. In addition, they were shown the drama’s upcoming 13th episode, which airs this Wednesday.
One participant, aspiring broadcast writer Kim Yuri, asked Go Soo and Han Ye-seul about filming their “snow kiss” scene (Episode 10). The answer: “It was snowing a lot and very cold, but I was glad the scene came out beautifully.” Two of them (Kim Ki-wook and Lee Hye-jin) were given bit parts as a hospital patient and nurse, respectively. Kim Ki-wook also presented Han Ye-seul with a gift he’d made himself, a wooden bowl (pictured below); Kim Yuri gave all the actors decorative jars.
Afterwards, the four winners wrote on the drama’s homepage, “By coming here to the filming set, we saw the actors and staff all working hard, and got to know what they’re like normally. I hope there are more events like this in the future.”
The drama’s assistant director, PD Shin Kyung-soo, said, “In the past, there have been instances where groups visited the filming set, but this is the first time having viewers invited on a date with the lead actors and appearing in the drama itself. I’m glad we were able to give a meaningful experience to the viewers, and will do my best for the remaining episodes.”

oh man, yes so extremely lucky. I probably wouldn’t digest my food well as well!
Aaggh… I’m super jealous… I wanna eat Go Soo… I mean.. pizza..
OMGOMGOMG.
I would probably be screaming inside the whole time, and be as nervous as…Ji-wan after they start dating…in front of the cast. Especially Go Soo, like everyone here is saying. I probably would have run up and hugged him haha, then go back to shy mode. Sigh. This is why I want to be an exchange student in Korea my first year of college – I already can speak the language, so what a great way to stalk all my favorite stars!
Go Soo looks adorable as always, and the entire cast just glows. Kim Ki-bang is too funny in the last picture, too!
What are the chances that these fans are Soompi/Dramabeans readers who will tell us teasers about the next episode?
heh… the funny thing to me is that HYS is currently a advertising model for Domino’s Pizza in Korea.
guess what brand of pizza they’re eating.
just something quick.. i could not resist ^O^

I also found Go Soo’s expression in the first pic hilarious!
For the first time of my life, I truly wish I knew Korean (so that I could have joined the event T_T)

…i’m so envious of the winners!!! meeting your favorite WISFC- drama stars, eating pizza with them ..& in their dressing room??? what a real treat!!!! it’s like a dream for most of us, KDrama addicts…but to be in the same room & even chatting w/ them…that’s beyond awesome!!! they’re sooooo lucky…c’))
I would choke on my pizza to get attention from GO SOO.. like a jealous second lead should do
I wonder if one of those lucky fans tried to kidnap….uhhh I mean take Go Soo home with her when the date was over?
cuz I know I soooo would!
“I would choke on my pizza to get attention from GO SOO.. like a jealous second lead should do” – pongs
copy that! lol
lucky people.. .
and here we are spazzing in the DB space… LOL…
I’m soooo jealous >__<
Conrats to them!! That’s really awesome.
Hope they had fun! That pizza looks good. Go Soo is just GAWGEOUSS!! And Han Ye Seul, so stunning!! : )
Can’t wait for thursday’s episode!!
that room reminds me of YAB
Good promo idea! A winners circle consist of 2-4 is a good size; anything more will get out of hand. I think the broadcast station should keep this promo idea for future reference; this intimate “date” or fanmeeting set formulates success.
Ep.11 plot was dreadful until ep.12 came along to give a better direction to this series. I can hope that ep.13 won’t flop like ep.11. What were the screen writers thinking while making up ep.11? (Kept racing through my mind.)
@ 16 NixHazel – really? I’m surprised Papa John’s has made its way to Korea, and seems to do well. I still ponder the war between Cold Stone and Baskin-Robbins in Korea. Consumers in the US do not get a chance to see our Baskin-Robbins carry Cold Stone’s trademark on those BR counter tops.
i’m so happy for them
