Moon Geun-young and Jang Geun-seok in a romantic comedy together? Yeah, I’ll be watching.
Mary Stayed Out All Night is the manhwa adaptation that features Jang Geun-seok as a hippie musician, and now Moon will be signing up for a contract marriage with his character. Her Mary role is the daughter of a failed businessman and falls into a love triangle with an indie-band singer (Jang) and a perfect chaebol (as yet uncast).
Moon has been busy in her theatrical debut with the stage play Closer since August, and will jump into the drama as soon as the play wraps in October. It’ll premiere on KBS in October, airing on Mondays and Tuesdays after Sungkyunkwan Scandal wraps.
Seriously, sign me up! Moon has long been considered one of the best actresses of her generation, and she can wring emotion and intensity out of confused chaos (see: Cinderella’s Sister). She has, however, shied away from the romantic comedy genre, and I’d LOVE to see her tackle something light and fun. (Jang, as we know, is great in trendies.) The only rom-com I’ve seen her in is My Little Bride, which was AGES ago, but she was adorable in it.

omg!! a must see!!!! love both of them!
Oh please let it not be contract marriage. We’ve had enough of those.
Really miss JGS and PSH!!!
i was actually more excited about the plot when i first heard that mary stayed out all night was about her romance with a death metal singer…
i haven’t seen her work , but she looks older to me and not very pretty…i will believe people who say she’s a good ^^actress… it’s not that i’m shallow or mean …but in this kind of dramas i like actors/actresses that look fresh and cute… jgs has got that , not sure about her …
Hi Maricel,
I haven’t seen any of Moon Geun-young’s work, yet, either, but have heard nothing but superlatives about her talent.
As far as her looks go, everyone will have a differing opinion. With that said, based upon the various photos that I’ve seen, I’d have to say that I find her pretty, cute, and fresh. Check these photos out. I thought she looked fairly stunning in them.

i love them both
omg! butbutbut is it just me or indie-band aside, can full house’s plot be described in exactly the same way??
eh, upset its not pby buttttt MOON GEUN YOUNG IS SO CUTE TOO. i awaaait the cuteness!
Moon Geun-young was awesome in CS. Her evil smile gave my chills. I’m excited to see her in a softer light.
Finally! it’s been a while since they pick two great actors where we don’t have to worry about stiff acting skills that usually ruin the quality of a good story. Sungkyunkwan scandal is a good drama so far, so I hope it can earn some memorable ratings just in time for this drama!
YYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS DRAMA!!!!! (IT’S bessssstt news of the day!!!!!)
YAAAAYYYYYYYY!!! (screams so loudly) YESS!!

the “Geun-Geun” couple Finally!!!!!!!
that was fast…after cinderella’s sister now another drama!!!yehey,,didn’t have to wait long to see MGY again!!!excited!:3
I fell in love w/ her watching My Little Bride more than Kim Rae-won, and that says a lot. LOL!
This sounds great, I love to see her dynamic craftsmanship soar more winged heights.
uh well I’m just hear to make inarticulate squealing sounds. Seriously? Moon Geun Young, I already loved you. But now I love you 1000x more for choosing something with Jang Geun Seuk. NEVER would have expected it but she does have a habit of making surprising and awesome role choices!
ssqquuUUUEEEEAAAL!!
Awww, I was kind of wishing it wasn’t her… =/
i think it’s a funny story that i am looking forward to watch and i prefer moon to play in funny role than drama
I don’t understand people calling MGY not pretty enough. To my taste she’s absolutely beautiful. And a teriffic actress as we all know. This pairing is awesome. Hope the drama will be a success too.
Early chrissy present ahaha~~
I love these two together, and since they are both skilled at acting I think they would have and be able to create awesome on screen chemistry!!
I’ve always liked these two and I was hoping they would be cast in the same drama, and then lo and behold a few months later there’s news that they’ll be cast in the same drama!!!!!
I’m looking forward to it!
waw!!>..haha
i can’t wait!!
moon geun young, my idol haha…
wish she will have more blessings to come in the future, such a talented girl…v^_^v
