Up-and-comer Lee Shi-young has been making waves as the resident haughty second lead in MBC’s Playful Kiss, doing a fantastic job of being strangle-worthy and yet…completely endearing in her own right. She seems to have caught the attention of the film industry as well, scoring a headlining role in a new comedy.
The title of the film, Dangerous Meeting, isn’t as dark as it sounds. The “meeting” is an arranged meeting between the families of a bride and groom. The story centers around a young man and woman caught between two warring fathers, and their warring clans. Sounds like a Korean Meet the Fockers, with more outright disdain.
Lee Shi-young will star opposite Song Sae-byuk (Cyrano Dating Agency, Petty Romance, Sector 7) as the young couple. I’m actually interested to find out who they cast as the two dads, because it seems like plotwise, they could steal the show if they cast some big names.
Dangerous Meeting will start filming once Playful Kiss wraps this coming week.

i love unnie. more power.
it may be fun!
good for her
I’m excited! I wasn’t much impressed with her in Loving You A Thousand times, but there was something about her in PK. She seemed to have this glow about her as well in the series. I’m going to check this out.
I enjoyed her in LYATT. I thought she was the right amount of desperate and sad, but she held herself together well. Also, she knew when to let go. She was my favorite character in that drama. I’m also excited to see her on the big screen.
I love her!!
I hope to see more!
I immediately thought of the two dads in Sons of Sol Pharmacy. The bickering between them was the highlight of the show for me….
me too!!
Puahaha, the Song Dad was the first to pop to mind!
I’d love to see Song Dad and Lee Kyein! That would be a lot of fun!
Wow! I immediately thought of them too! Great minds think alike!
she’s so pretty
haha, can’t wait!
She was amazing in Birth of a rich man.
Yeah.. i like her character more than Lee Bo Young.
where’s her other leg??
amputated via overzealous photoshopping LOL
haha, that reminds me of Emma Watson’s photoshopped picture (was it her arm or leg?)
Whoa, I didn’t even notice that…
now I can’t stop staring…
WOAHH didnt even notice it until you mentoined it!
oh snap. where DID her other leg go?! O__O
Wow! Are her legs that thin???
I was gonna say that it was hidden behind the other one but upon further inspection… nah.
I agree with ‘over-zealous photoshopping’!
omg, this is really funny.
I actually don’t dislike her in PK… where as my friend HATES her in there hahaha xD
But she’s freaking skinny! Was she always that skinny? I thought she was ok in BOF and whatevers but I saw her again in PK and I was just like wow.. she got skinnier!
at first, i assumed it was a drama but i’m glad it’s actually a movie. and she deserves it… i’ve always wanted her to have a leading role in a comedy and she did….
I LOVE her in comedy… i definitely think she has talent for it. she might not be the best actress but she got spunk.
for me, she was never strangle-worthy in PK but i think that was probably because i got influenced by what i’ve known previously. but i agree with the endearing part… haera is quite admirable.
as for song sae byuk, i remember him in sector 7 cuz that was the most recent thing he did that i watched… i don’t have much of an impression though… so i’ll just wait and see how he fares.
She’s quite retty and talented.. the movie seems interesting… I hope she makes it big. May she bags a lead role in a drama after that.
And LOL on the missing leg in the photo
sounds fun hehehe i like her in birth of the rich and if she bring that charm here it would be really hilarious
is it just me, but that outfit/dress she’s wearing is kinda weird/not proportionate? The color is good but the bottomr looks strange..
but i agree, she does look awfully skinny in PK compared to her other dramas, but the British flag leggings she wore in Ep 14, was hilarious too..
Anyways.. thank you for posting!
LOL, no you are not the only one. I thought her skirt looked like a half-opened umbrella.
haha, i also stared at the dress thinking ‘huh?’ the dress would be much better without the random, scrunched-up poofiness at the bottom!
I wonder when she’ll get her first starring role. She’s had a good couple of years now.
she’s so beautiful…
Truly an inspiration to all one-legged actresses out there.
Besides her interesting niche for playing high strung princesses, her gig on Entertainment Weekly is helping her visibility as well.
She is a good actress but pretty much type cast as the “hate me” girl. She’s pretty but has that unknown factor that put her in previous roles for that reason. But every drama needs someone like that, so she will be acting for decades to come. That’s success.
going to check this out but that dress needs to go.
agree, the dress has to go.
my husband would classify the print of that dress as “kukur”. short for “kukurtinahin” from the root word “kurtina” which in English means “curtain”. when my husband describes clothes as “kukur” (‘kukurtinahin”) it means that the cloth used or the print of the cloth to make the dress can also be used to make a curtain!
I love that dress!!!
I really like Lee Shi Young. I think my favorite role of hers is as Lee Beom Soo’s crazy girlfriend in Hong Gil Dong’s Descendants. That movie was weirdly enjoyable and her expressions were too funny.
like her but the leg problem
OMG now I can’t stop staring at The Leg.
lmao… her leg. loved her in playful kiss!! omggg. so excited XD!
can’t wait to find out who the fathers are too….. sounds interesting so far.
Woot Woot Wooot!!!! ^_____^
i LOVE her in playful kiss!!!! her character can’t be hated, she’s cute and funny, smart and independent, and friends with seungjo, but she can be annoying because it’s her favorite thing to do to hani….
bets of luck to her with her new film!!!!
I enjoyed Lee Shi-young’s characters in both Playful Kiss and The Birth of the Rich.
Both are characters you are supposed to hate, but her acting makes them lovable.
More roles offered? Good for her.
sooo preety….i think she more beautiful than park si yeon….
I think she got talent in comedy. Looks like i have to watch this movie.
I love Lee Shi-young very much. All the characters in the drama that she played..all were lovable. But the most that i really like is she as Boo Tae Hee in BOTR…She act really good.. Its hard to fine someone that can act the ‘hateful’ characters to be a character which is so enjoyable and very interesting just like in PK and BOTR. Good Luck LSY…
