Drama Casting & News
Mary’s second leading man Kim Jae-wook
by | October 13, 2010 | 59 Comments

They’re gonna milk this for all this is worth, aren’t they? Kim Jae-wook‘s stills from Mary Stayed Out All Night obviously come from the same photo shoot that yielded the poster and titles, as well as Moon Geun-young‘s character stills, and as well as Jang Geun-seok‘s.

Kim Jae-wook plays Jung-in, and will get to show off his Japanese language skills as a sharp businessman. (Kim lived in Japan when he was younger and speaks the language fluently, which he showed previously in Coffee Prince and Bad Guy. In fact, he has held Japanese fanmeetings without the need for a translator.)

The Jung-in character gets entangled in a love triangle with Mary (Moon Geun-young) and Mu-gyul (Jang Geun-seok), and he finds himself playing fake husband to the former. (So does Mu-gyul. Yeah, Mary’s a busy bee.)

The drama premieres November 8.

  2. tottoro

    Seriously this show has way too many pretty casts…

  3. Christine

    Atleast he doesnt look feminine….

  4. Nabby

    Fo some reason, I find this photo shoot a little bland, but I think that it’s due to it being shot on the same day as the promotional pictures for the show. At least those short/tights aren’t in this one. =D
    Nonetheless, I am super excited for this show. Kim Jae-Wook, Moon Geun-Young, and Jang Geun-Seok? AWESOME.

    • 6.1 dannaluk

      i know right…he’s so beautiful but he looks emaciated here

    • 6.2 rich

      Yea… I guess he’ll look perfect if he’ll gain a few pounds and he’ll let me comb his hair & fix it a bit… HAHA! XD

      • 6.2.1 baNen

        Yeah right.. I would love to do it as well, combing his hair..and cooking food to make him more hunkier.. ;-)

    • 6.3 Isabella

  7. Ani

    He looks a bit tired in these. Hope everything is ok. Hwaiting.

    • 7.1 Jane

      I was just thinking, these are some of the least attractive photos of him I’ve ever seen. He does look tired.

      • 7.1.1 maria

        yeah, for sure– he’s always looked sort of tired, but these photos make him look really haggard. HWAITING!!

  8. makadoto

    I think it is so cool that he is fluent in Japanese. Look forward to this serie.

    • 11.1 tiq

  12. 12 Da-da

    The drama starts on the same date as my finals!
    What to do?!!!

    • 12.1 hs

      where r u from? me too!

  13. 13 Sandra

    aahh!! he can’t! no no no no he can’t! i can’t watch him get hurt again <\3
    it'll break my heart D:
    DAMN THE CURSE OF THE SECOND MALE LEADS WHO ALWAYS GET HURT Y-Y

  14. 14 Aly

    I would be so much more excited if Jang Geun Seok didn’t look like a girl…still anticipating though. Most of the time his charm starts to win me over :}

  15. 15 UJ

    let them milk it as much as they want…anything before the drama airs is good in my book :D

    • 15.1 UJ

      oh but i m so not digging the hair..i liked his bad guy style…

  16. 16 Rina

    I agree with everyone else, KJW does look tired in these pictures.

    I hope they don’t style him like they did sometimes in Bad Guy – still cringing at that violet suit. At least from the waist up he looks good, since I can’t tell if he’s still wearing those leather hotpants.

    • 16.1 sequestial

      That reminds me of when he was in Antique Bakery, and his character (can’t remember his name) said that all he wanted was to save up to buy that thousand dollar Prada leatherpants.

  17. 17 Severine

    KJW! He does look a bit tired, but I’ll just pretend I’m seeing his morning face. :p Yay for cutting out the shorts and brown boots!

  18. 18 v

    well… all i had in my mind when i watched him play prince perfect was yum…
    it was only when i read the comments that i looked more closely and yeah, he does look a bit tired… i still think he looks dashing.

  19. 19 rich

    Woah, it’s been a while since I saw this guy… he appears to skinny though.

  20. 20 BellaMafia

    Where is the comb when you need one?

    • 20.1 Heidi

      I TOTALLY agree!!! What kind of “perfect” chaebol would wear their hair like that? Seriously!

      • 20.1.1 Rachael

        I wonder if he found himself victim of “Quick! Strike a pose!” *click click* “Great, and now we have character stills.” “EH??”

  21. 21 girlatsea

    Everyone in this drama is soo pretty. I can’t wait for it to air but I also don’t want SKKS to end.. Sigh.

    • 21.1 indigowine

      ditto on that comment.. it’s like big major dilemma for me too..

      Anyway, this character still is a bit laugh-able, eh? Only one pose? Seriously?

  22. 22 sany

    does he have to have that hair? im sure he would look hot with another hairstyle too…gah…these hairstylists are so frustrating!!! essited about this drama anyway though ^_^

  23. 23 Anonymous

    Oh wow.. I woke up and this is the first thing I read. This is a good morning!

  24. 24 aX

    He looks like a bum dressed up as a chaebol. Honestly!

    Anyway, this guy was okay in Bad Guy… seemed like his character would be exactly the same but probably nicer.

  25. 25 Natty

    Haha love him, but not gonna lie, the hair kinda makes him look like he just rolled out of bed. Either way I’m excited for any news on the show!

  26. 26 sagirl

    I agree with everyone too. He definitely looks haggard. But, the drama girl in me wants to pretend its from a scene were they stayed out all night and this is the next morning with him offering the lead woman his hand?

  27. 27 Jenny

    Looooooove him!!!
    I wish he would get a leading part where he gets the girl, maybe he should try a jdorama after all his japanese is excellent.
    Ladies would love him there, he would most likely also have younger fans because of his looks.

  28. 28 maez

    I love you Kim jae wook.

  29. 29 YM

    I don’t like these stills of him. Seems like they weren’t sure what to do with him so they made him do that with his hands? And he’s quite attractive so these pics really did nothing for him.

    Also, I agree that he does look tired!

  30. 30 pat

    rant….
    I hope the production is not working the actors to exhaustion
    AGAIN. That should be unacceptable, but overlong working schedules are routine to the detriment of health and safety.
    (There are LOTS of examples where the actors wind up in the hospital end of shoot) the actors should be protected more.
    Love all these actors.

  31. 31 sara

    is it possible in real world that two this beautiful boys fall in love with a not that much beautiful girl?no….it ‘s just a drama.why these boys are so pretty!

  32. 32 Nameless

    Pah, I love him as well. I really home his characters owns up to Myu Geol. Even if he doesn’t get the girl, at least have them share romantic moments. Lol. I’m tired of fallin’ in love with second leads. He looks absolutely tired though.

    But if anyone is interested, here’s a link to a short film that was shot entirely with an iphone4. It stars KJW and it’s titled under BANG! so go watch it.

    • 32.1 Nameless

      And did I mention that short film involves GUNS and a guitar?! lol

    • 32.2 Carinne

      Talk about taking your iPhone(4) to the next level. Nice!

      I couldn’t find it. Oh well. I will vastly enjoy this site. Thanks for sharing.

  33. 33 LeMonS

    The hair is killing me. Who did this to him? There was a stylist and they should be held accountable!

  34. 34 kc

    they’re all pretty but, the appeals?, I don’t get it.

  35. 35 BLANDI

    THE HAIR IS BEGGING TO BE COMB

  36. 36 Atsirk

    He’s too pretty to be with two other pretty individuals. Can I take you home? ^.^

  37. 37 belleza

    For me, not since Jo In Sung has there been an actor who acts with his clothes (no mean feat) like Kim Jae Wook. Even though here he’s copping a chaebol-out-of-dumpster look, it’s done with conviction and soul . . . Did I mention he so pretty? :D

  38. 38 Ruby

    Kim Jae Wook is so hot. I totally love him. Can’t wait to see him in november!

  39. 39 Leigh

    Remember, JGS hated hairstyle in the beginning of YB? Yep, they changed it after so many comments on internet. Let’s see, what happens with KJW. Personally, I wouldn’t be too quick to speak…he’s a honey, and if he appeared in front of any of us looking like the above, we would most certainly be speechless. He showed tremendous acting prowess as the tortured soul in BG. That show ended so badly. Have high hopes for this drama as the main leads are both fab actors.

  40. 40 Qwenli

    I hope he doesnt lose weight as the drama goes. That was what happen in Bad guy.

    I have a good impression of him.

  41. 41 rainerust

    Boy needs to eat and sleep. The tired is showing. Especially in the close up.

    Still, how yummy does he look? Gorgeous boy is gorgeous! I would take him any way I get him…and I’m still looking for a subbed version of Pygmalion Love. Anyone knows where I can find one? English or Chinese is fine. I’d do raws if necessary too (I can’t even find the raw files sigh), since from what I understand at least half will be in Japanese…which, while challenging, is less so to me than pure Korean…

  42. 42 Cam

    Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh…..

    ……WWWHHHHEEEEEE!!!!!
