One thing better than Yoo Ji-tae playing an intense romantic lead: Yoo Ji-tae playing TWO intense romantic leads. His next film, Secret Love [비밀애], stars him playing brothers. The younger character falls in love with his older brother’s wife (Yoon Jin-seo), but suffers an an accident and falls into a coma. When he awakens miraculously, the older brother discovers the truth of their goings-on, which causes the relationships to crumble.
Yoo said, “When I first received the screenplay, I felt that these characters were two sides of a coin. It’s a character that an actor would obviously to want to play.” In order to distinguish between the two brothers, Yoo not only sports different clothing and hair styles, he also wears different types of makeup and alters his voice. The elder brother has a more mature air, while the younger displays a more casual, free-spirited vibe.
The film opens in March.

wow, the top picture on the right, he looks so much like so ji sup.
Wow, he looks really different one to the other.
At first I was thinking they would just slap on an evil mustasche and glasses to one of the brothers and that’s how you can tell the difference, but they don’t look anything alike… the magic of cinema!
good luck to him for doing this challenging role
I will probably watch it when it came out
oh my stars! yoo ji tae, yoo ji tae, yoo ji tae! It’s times like these that I wished in Korea so I could actually watch these films at the theater… sob sob* Has anyone claimed him yet? MINE!!!
It’s nice to see these two actors back together after Old Boy. And the movie seems devishly interesting too.. I love intense characters and movies ^^
The other post was talking about “Influence” resemblling some other movie…
This movie reminds me of “Addicted” by Lee Mi Yeon and Lee Byung Hyun with a twist… Probably due to the story a pair of brothers and a girl…
Interesting to see this translated on screen…
Oh man!! It’s the chick from Return of Iljimae!! I love her!!
I mistakened him for Kang Ji Hwan in the topmost picture
I really want to see this. I loved Yoon Jin-seo in RoI. I can’t wait to see how Yoo Ji-tae plays both brothers.
I keep wondering what the role of the coma is in this, what appears to be a, straight up love triangle story. I’ve read the description several times now, each time with more head scratching bafflement over why there needs to be a coma in the storyline at all. But double YJT? Sure, sign me up plz.
Happy lunar new year to those celebrating.
This movie sounds interesting! Yoo Ji Tae is a great actor, i’m sure he’ll be able to play both characters well.

I’m looking forward to this drama….I really like Yoo Ji-tae. I really liked him in Star’s Lover….although I didn’t much care for how it ended!
Somehow the plot remind me of Lee Byung Hoon movie ‘Addicted’. And it still give me a chill. Man…
Awwww, I luv him, too! Can I share him with you, @4 krnkimbap ? I’ve been love with him since that Old boy.
Yoo Ji Tae plays romantic leads so beautifully!!! LOVED ALL his movies most esp. the drama,A Star’s Lover w/ Choi Ji Woo!!! Hope the movie will be shown eventually w/ English subs!!!
He is perfect!
I’m in! I have only seen one movie from Yoo Ji-Tae ..a star’s lover and he was the best thing in it to me..well the 2nd gentleman in the “triangle” wasnt bad…I dont care much for Choi Ji Woo but I enjoyed Yoo Ji-Tae…what a smile….ahem…I digress
I look forward to watching his new projects..and will check out Old Boy….

I suppose we’ll have to duke it out for him… haha, jk! He needs more fans on this site! I was pleasantly shocked by his character in Old Boy since it was so different from the characters he’d portrayed before (he’s pretty much the only reason I watched it). We should think of a fan club name for him! hehehe~
I just realized I made a horrendous grammatical error in my first comment… It should say “I wished I lived in Korea” not “I wished in Korea.” That’s how worked up I got over this post I suppose!
aaah~ can’t wait to watch the movie.. ^^
