Drama Casting & News
At the poster shoot for Mary Stayed Out All Night
by | October 6, 2010 | 175 Comments

Here’s our first look at the characters of Mary Stayed Out All Night! The four lead actors — Moo Geun-young, Jang Geun-seok, Kim Jae-wook, and Kim Hyo-jin — participated in the drama’s title and poster shoot on October 6.

I’m not going to complain about Jang Geun-seok’s look here, because I think he’s actually quite pretty — but that’s the thing. All four of these actors are basically on the same end of the feminine-masculine spectrum here. I know, it’s based on a manhwa, and we know that shoujo manga/soonjung manhwas are all about the pretty, pretty boys. Oh well. I can always turn to Runaway to get my manly-men fix.

Jang plays indie-band singer Mu-gyul, who’s characterized by a boho sense of style. Moon plays Mary, whose fashion sense doesn’t seem too far off from Mu-gyul. Is that how we know they’re meant to be? Not only will they engage in lots of comic shenanigans and fall in love, they can swap wardrobes! Meanwhile, the two Kims both sport a more chic, urban style as characters Jung-in and Seo-jun.

Following the poster shoot, Jang said, “I’m happy and excited. I want to stay this way through the end. The shooting atmosphere is wonderful.” He said of the wave of fan-made posters for the drama, “I was amazed at the fans’ interest, and I’d like to give them my gratitude. With the poster shoot being so enjoyable, I hope the poster comes out great and receives a good response.”

Moon said, “The feel of Hongdae [a neighborhood of Seoul] goes well with the drama’s concept, and shooting is fun. Since we’re all the same age, it was comfortable and fun to shoot together. I look forward to the first shoot for the drama.”

Kim Jae-wook said, “It feels like it went by so quickly. Us actors are still in the process of getting to know each other, but we get a long well and were able to shoot satisfactorily.”

Kim Hyo-jin said, “This is the first shoot, and since the atmosphere was so great, I look forward to the drama. I’ll study the character and give my own take on ‘Seo-jun.’”

Mary Stayed Out All Night premieres on November 8.

    hummmm. Brown boots and shiny leggins….blah!

    • 1.1 balletbabe

      Ummm…. I was wondering the same thing!

    • 1.2 jelly-jamboree

      i was more distracted by the shorts(?) that he’s wearing…. or are those pants w/ leg warmers over them? either way his lower half is ATROCIOUS

      must focus on his pretty pretty face O.O

      • 1.2.1 mysstory

        This conversation makes me so happy

        I can’t wait!!

      • 1.2.2 kamee

        lol. i didn’t even realize there were shorts there until you mentioned it. but ugh….and brown shoes with black pants…one of my biggest pet peeves!

        • 1.2.2.1 misse.

          hahaha same i didnt see the shorts til then… *cringe* ><

      • 1.2.3 Anonymous

        At first, I didn’t notice b/c I was looking at his face, but as I started to scroll down I was stunned at his outfit below the waist.

      • 1.2.4 rapsodie

        no shorts cant you people see its a jeans he’s wearing with some kind of leather overpants like cowboys wear( or kinda what cowboys wear)

      • 1.2.5 KhunToria

        LoL… I was just thinking the same thing! Seriously, what’s up with that?

    • 1.3 wellington

      noticed that too…i thought he’s acting a “perfect guy”. personally, i thought he’ll look like someone who works at wall st. – signature suit, like someone who stepped-out of GQ. not another “potential rock star looking”.

      its not his fault though…stylist, director…script writer. everyone’s concept must blend together.

    • 1.4 GG

      Over shorts…lol

    • 1.5 sansukini

      I thought he looked like a homeless guy. He’s so thin and his outfit’s so…. um…. nvm. I wanna feed him.

    • 1.6 Carinne

      Brown boots are fine. I dig ‘em. I recoil back staring at his faux leather skinnies under hugging shorts.

      Is someone playing favoritism, promoting JGS over KJW w/ such fashion faux pas? Where’s the fashion police when you need one?

  2. Natalia

    *_*

    Why must my two favorite pretty boys compete for the same girl!!!

    Who will I like better….hmm…..

  3. miss_procrastination

    sooo excited for this drama!

  4. kez

    LIKE! Can’t wait!

  5. mskololia

    meh, i like the fan-made posters better.

    • 5.1 Snikki

      They’re just at a poster shoot, that’s not the actual poster…perhaps? Let’s wait and see how the actual poster turns out.

  6. Ani

    *sets as laptop’s background*

  7. Laica

    Such a lovely group of ladies… Oh wait.

    ;)

    • 7.1 dannaluk

      lol

    • 7.2 rant

      lols

      • 7.2.1 djinni

        heh!

        • 7.2.1.1 finerprint

          ditto!

          • 7.2.1.1.1 finerprint

            *oops. wrong destnxn

      • 7.2.2 finerprint

        ditto! *here

    • 7.3 Ashley

      I know right? I had actual difficulty figuring out who was male. “Mary” is the most masculine dressed one in the group, and that’s not saying much.

      • 7.3.1 news

        Uh, that’s considered masculine in Korea and Chuno is ‘beast’. :D

    • 7.4 finerprint

      LOL

    • 7.5 Severine

      LOL! JGS and KJW can outpretty girls any day.

  8. Sumaiya

    hmm…thankfully these are just shoot photos and not the posters themselves (lol I am being biased toward fan-made ones)…but I am so looking forward to this (the girl’s character sort of reminds me of the main girl’s character in Honey and Clover)

  9. Penn

    I’m looking forward to the drama but I’m not too crazy for the attires. Is that guy wearing shorts on top of leather pants?

    • 9.1 ktb

      I swear I asked myself (out loud) the same question and then laughed (again, out loud) at your comment. The answer, of course, is “yes.” And he’s wearing an ascot.

      • 9.1.1 paper

        LMAO the ascot is the icing on the cake!!! XD

        • 9.1.1.1 Severine

          Ahaha, agreed! Those pleather leggings and shorts are priceless too.

  10. 10 ais

    love it to bits! this is gonna be really awesome :) rooting for jgs-mgy tandem!

  11. 11 kit

    MGY looks … hmm.

    But overall, I am excite :D

    • 11.1 Anonymous

      I thought her outfit looked like it was stolen from a grannie…even my grandmother doesn’t dress like that! I did liked her hair.

      • 11.1.1 Buki

        I love grandma chic. Some of my favorite items are from my grandmother’s closet. Then again, I’d addicted to vintage.

  12. 12 Natty

    I’m so excited! … I love you, JGS! hahaha

    Can’t Wait! ! !

  13. 13 KeunSukLover

    LOVE IT ! :D

  14. 14 danni

    MGY’s character looks very interesting here, in a good way. I thought her character would be quirky anyway (being in a marriage contract with two different guys is just crazy) but seeing her makes me think of her being like the Luna Lovegood character from Harry Potter.

    JGS’s style isn’t bothering me as much as KJW’s. Really, what the hell is he wearing? Those pants, really…

    • 14.1 Natty

      Haha. Your right, she does kinda give off Luna Lovegood vibes!

    • 14.2 rant

      The pants are disturbing me.

      And what’s with the skirt+redrubbershoes.

      • 14.2.1 s

        what is wrong with the skirt + red rubber shoes? i think it gives off a rly indie vibe.

  15. 15 kfan13

    Not really loving MGY’s look here…On the plus side, both guys look good.

    • 15.1 kilmenyanne

      They just want her to keep looking like My Little Bride all over again! She’s 23, make her look her age please….Cinderella’s Sister did a good job there.

  16. 16 zoloo

    love geun suk!!! i think geun suk would have a better chemistry with geun young rather than park shin hye. looking forward to watch this

  17. 17 joeydragonlady

    Sukkie! Kyaaa! Will be bracing myself for late nights!

  18. 18 RunLolaRun

    I was hoping that JGS would have more of a “heavy metal rocker” look to him but I guess not. :-/

    Excited about this drama either way.

  19. 19 cingdoc

    it could’ve just been me,but I think the guys r wearing more makeup (guyliners to be exact) than the ladies…just saying…they all are pretty :)
    (don’t stone me..I adore both JGS & KJW)

  20. 20 loveJGS

    wow…this is sooo great!!! I will look forward to this drama…I love JGS sooooo much! Goodluck!!!

  21. 21 maez

    NOBODY TOUCH MY MAN KIM JAE WOOK! hehe. :D

  22. 22 jfk707

    I am so excited !!! yey

  23. 23 lala

    I’m excited!!! cannot wait!!!!!!

  24. 24 alyssia

    OMG Jang Geun suk…Can you please loose the hair! It’s taking your beauty away…ah… I can’t wait for this. My two favorites. It better be good.

  25. 25 dannaluk

    OMO i’m soo excited!!…all the actors seem to have chemistry!!…not gonna comment on their clothes…except JGS looks more decent here than he does in some functions where he’s not in character….plus i like my guys pretty :P

  26. 26 rawrdidah!

    oooh! MGS looks very quirky :)
    JGS and KJW look awesome – pulled off the weird combination of clothing pretty well!
    ;)

    Soooo looking forward to this!

  27. 27 yaaahoooooooooo

    I’m so excited!! JGS looks hot! and MGY is so adorable!!! how come her hair so long already?

  28. 28 rant

    still sporting that long hair look. shorter hair is better for him.

  29. 29 ockoala

    Shit, I was all cool as beans for this drama until I saw these stills. The second this cast got together, my interest skyrocketed. Oh lordy imma going to serious second love lead here. But I know the Geun-squared couple can make be believe!

  30. 30 Linh

    I think the fan made posters are more superior! LOL

  31. 31 dramafreak19

    I was praying hard that Jang Geun Suk would gain some weight and cut his hair, but…alas…I guess that was too much to ask for. lolll
    Moon Geun Young looks hella adorable!

  32. 32 linda belle

    so excited!! can’t wait!!
    almost faint!! :D

  33. 33 djinni

    i absolutely love moon guen young’s hair!! love the heavy fringe on her. so cute.

  34. 34 msposh387

    for the love of Jang Guen-Suk…i’m waiting for this!!! =)

  35. 35 JD

    Jang Guen Suk, your hair!!! TT______________TT

    Blah, I don’t really like how “all over the place” they look. Kinda reminds me of Mary Kate’s failed over the top messy “bohemian” look that makes it seem like she just crawled out of bed.

    Hopefully, the storyline’s good.

  36. 36 Da-da

    OMO!
    Could this be the hottest cast ever in the history of k-dramas?!

    • 36.1 Blah

      ??0_o??

  37. 37 celestialorigin

    Ah, hah. Post SKKS rescue for withdrawal symptoms. The perfect solution! I shall be able to get over the sense of being deprived. There is a K drama fairy watching over our? at least my need. KJW <3.

  38. 38 mnstpdu08

    first impression: the guys look like they’re drug addicts

    The clothes are just wrong for this style. Men can dress like this and still look “manly” and cool.

    I’m not sure if I can watch this unless they did a wardrobe change or something. The fashion has a lot to do with the dramas that I watch. If I don’t like it, it’s going to bother me through out the entire show and I wouldn’t be able to watch it.

  39. 39 :D

    does anybody else HATE jgs’s hair here?
    he shouldn’t part it down the middle..and he should cut it shorter and die it black. he looks best with black hair

    • 39.1 :D

      and he should stop curling his hair!

  40. 40 Fasiris Fay

    can’t wait!! But I really wish JGS dressed differently (in the drama and in real life)

  41. 41 oh! tht! chick!

    EXCITED! EXCITED! EXXXXCIIIIIITEEEED! *THUDx10000000*

  42. 42 lynx

    Maybe the final product will be more appealing. But the hairdos on 3/4 is -_- … whats with the floppy do?

    Then again, mayhaps I’m looking for perfect casting … oh well. 8 Nov it is then before further comments.

  43. 43 stars4u

    and my feet claps for joy!!!!!!

    i felt nothing was final until they actually go for the poster shoot or actual filming for the drama but now I’ll just have to wait for it to air!!

  44. 44 asianromance

    without the smile, MGY looks like Sunako in chapter 1 of the manga, Perfect Girl Evolution!

    I’m sad that JGS never went back to the hair he had in DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo

    • 44.1 KhunToria

      I couldn’t agree more!

  45. 45 Cam

    BAM BAM!!!!! It’s very INTERESTING, oh yeah! (nods & claps)

    I love that all of these actors & actresses who wears so tacky, cool, and different styles of Asian clothes way, of course! =) =)

    I am VVERRRRYY looking forward about this drama!!!!!

  46. 46 demyoujie

    i loveeeeeit!!!! >^^,

  47. 47 v.

    i like the poster.. i don’t love it… however, i LOVE MGY’s outfit… she looks really good in it! i feel like mary stayed out all night is going to be a hit. hopefully, i’m right.

  48. 48 show2007

    Honestly I do not like JGS’s hair style, I guess it matches the character…beside, he does looks “pretty” from the poster. No matter what I will support him forever… can’t wait.

  49. 49 cheekbones

    JGS is gorgeous ! Wah, loving how he looks. And MGY’s look is surprising to me, but I’m loving it. (am I in the minority ?)

    Yay ! Super excited !

  50. 50 Natty

    In the manga he had REALLY long hair, and then cut it later on. Maybe the same will happen in the drama?

    Either way, I’m happy. This is just the very beginning, no sense making judgements now :)
