A goodnight kiss, to be exact. Daniel Henney plays the gentle protector to Lee Na-young in the upcoming action drama Runaway, which is a character type I’ve nicknamed “The Bae Soo-bin” in my mind. Then again, it’s a familiar role for Henney as well, so maybe I should just call it The Henney.
In the drama, his character is a wealthy shipping magnate named Kai who loves Jin-yi (Lee). She in turn deliberately approaches Ji-woo (Rain) for her own goals, which remain a mystery to us.
In this scene, Kai gives Jin-yi a “loving kiss” on the forehead, although reportedly the two actors stood back and traded embarrassed laughs as as soon as the “cut” notice was given by the director.
This is Lee Na-young’s first drama in six years, ever since Ireland in 2004. Daniel Henney’s last kdrama was 2006′s Spring Waltz. Both have done movies in the interim, such as Sad Dream and Dad Likes Women in her case, and My Father and X-Men Origins: Wolverine in his.
Runaway is a romantic-comedy action series created by the PD and writer of Chuno, and will air on KBS in September.

An appropriate name, javabeans! I really want to see him in a GOOD leading role.
daniel henney you are sexxxy
What the.. is she wearing in the first two?
I’m so glad I am not the only one who noticed that catastrophe of an outfit. I’m crossing my fingers it’s her pjs or something.
Her outfit is atrocious! Henney is such a HOTTIE! :p
I like her purse but that jacket I’m not to sure about.
“Romantic-comedy action series” well then we shall see!
also anyone know what is this airing after? Fox Child?
They were both embarassed? Come on, she got her hands on his waist !!!!
if Lee Na Young won’t take you, I will!
There is no picture of Rain-Lee Jung Jin and Daniel Henney standing together?
So we can see how tall rain is?
and then we can flip out about it, ’cause that’ll be FUN!!!
ah nooo… I just want to see 3 tall hot young men standing together!
Yes, we MUST know exactly how tall they are relative to each other! Our continuing adoration, our sanity, the future of mankind and the stability of the universe depend on it!
LOL.like a deja vu.you’ve just made my day..
I just want to see who is wearing the man heels is it Rain or Henney?…oops I think is Rain..LMAOOOO…
JB if you not said it was LNY… I wont recognize her…
what happen to her hair… and her dress ….?!?
The Henney actually sounds like an awesome nickname. Altho the saddest protector has got to be Bae Soo Bin. Twice protecting and not getting the same girl.
And they have such good chemistry too! I want to see a drama where BSB and HHJ actually end up together.
OT, I love LNY and I’m interested to see her in a drama, even though this is not my kind of show really.
can’t wait for this to air!
i dun remember i ever see Lee Na Young works although her name is familiar…urmmm….
I want to see him in a role where he gets the girl. Is that too much to ask?
Yea…I thought so too.
But I can still hope, right?
amen to that. enough playing the second fiddle
Rain is the main lead. But yeah, I want to see him as the lead. The one who’ll get the girl in the end.
Call me shallow I don’t care. Love him since the first time I laid my eyes on his goergeous self. Don’t mind his acting at all. As long as the story is great it would be fine with me.
I’m waiting and praying that I would be able to see you as the lead soon DH!
I want to have Daniel Henney kiss my forehead…
seriously, that term kills, man. if they don’t want Bae Soo Bin, i’ll take him, dammet! give him to meeeee!!! nyahahaha!
I have a question: what exactly is she wearing? A loose pantsuit with a comic book print? PJs? WTH
Something borrowed from grandma’s closet?. It’s no wonder she only got a kiss on the foerhead lol.
Love his character’s name. Kai means ocean both in Hawaiian and Japanese.
hahahah! i love the snark– perfect comment! note to self: do not wear granny pantsuits with crazy comic prints when being kissed. reduces chances of getting an ACTUAL kiss.
Henney, my love… please blow me away with an amazing performance. It’s time to show these people what you’ve got!!
Still love your caps and blogs, but so not loving the new layout
Yes ;(
somehow I missed the white one, so much simpler and so you, JB…
Anyway, helloooo Henney ;P
Hahaha,,, jb I agree with u,,, “the bae soo bin” role ….
I hope one day he can have a good drama and he is the lead actor and get a girl,,,, ^^
I´m waiting for you…Danniel
so henry is a main role?
so expect for it……
lee makes me feel that she is natural…
ooooooooooooOOOOOOOOohhhh! sooo does this mean they’re a couple but then she falls for Rain after having to approach/seduce/trick him?! NOOOO
by the way – i think the “Bae Soo Bin” is super appropriate. if Daniel Henney could carry an entire drama on Korean he would totally be the lead. but BSB can carry an entire drama in Korean and is STILL cast as a second lead. i guess they weren’t too happy with his performance in Angel’s Temptation…!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
A kiss on the forehead WTH!! are we in high school…can we get a proper kiss like in the cheek or something…..Henney u can kiss me anywhere u want just give me a buzzzz…..:P
LNY!! get ur hands off him! he’s all mine, even though he’s not aware of it yet
lol
Oh, Daniel, will you never get the girl?
daniel henney daniel henney daniel henney
omg i die now
I like that jb… The Henney. The Bae So Bin… We used to call it the Hanazawa Rui.
There should be a drama where Bae So Bin will get the girl… come on Kdrama overlords…. Give that beautiful man a chance… Last time he was successful in a love angle was when you let him have the man (Jumong..) but even that you tore apart….
Maybe he’s not the best actor in the world but I like Daniel Henney. Especially the fact he is bridging the gap of having some success in both Korea and the US. I hope that success keeps going and that it becomes true for some other Korean actors as well. Kim Yun Jin kicked butt in Lost! I wish there was more crossover success. i.e. actors like So Ji Sub, Gong Yoo, Kim Sun ah. Maybe it’s a language barrier or simply a matter of, who gives a crap about American success?
And I agree! Bae So Bin needs to get the girl next time!
So, with Three Rivers cancelled, Henney’s made his way back to his bread & butter (or bap?)…
Btw, anyone watch that show? Just curious.
daniel henney’s hoooot!
and LNY looked like Zoe Deschanel (side-view first pic)
what a lucky chick! to be surrounded by gorgeous men! (i.e. Rain, Daniel and Lee Jung Jin!)
am i the only one on this site who actually likes rain? y’all are taking a lot of shots at my boy, and it makes me all teary-eyed.
Daniel Henney used to be my 1st KActor “crush”…until I “fell” for Gong Yoo!!!
Anyway, I agree with everyone else that Bae Soo Bin has to graduate to leading man status ALREADY!!!
Lee Na Young- I loved her in “Please Teach Me English” (2003). I need to go watch that again…^_^. Excited for this drama… hopefully the content will live up to my likings for the people filling the roles!
Rain and So Ji Sub were my first loves in the Kdrama world. I know they really don’t compare to each other in the same way, but…^_^ some times you can’t always choose who you fall in love with, they choose you (hee hee)^_^.
***the American success for Rain does not do much for me… so glad he’s back in the drama world.
And Daniel Henney, I think he’s made great improvement in his acting since his debut in Spring Waltz (wasn’t that the one)- nope it was Kim Sam-Soon. Anyway, he could look me in the eye and speak Korean or English any day… with his grin of course accompanying him!
