Drama Casting & News
Moon Geun-young’s character stills as Mary
by | October 10, 2010 | 73 Comments

Mary Stayed Out All Night star Moon Geun-young takes on a new type of character as the drama’s bohemian girl Mary, a playful and optimistic young woman who “never loses hope despite her tiring daily life.” What she does that keeps her so exhausted has yet to be explained, but I’m thinking that the fake-marriage premise of the drama is going to add a whole NEW level of tiring to her life, with her juggling two pretty romantic rivals: hippie/free spirit Jang Geun-seok and “perfect” chaebol Kim Jae-wook.

Moon’s last screen role in Cinderella’s Sister had her playing a difficult and abrasive character, but prior to that she was known for her youthful, cute image, so I can totally see her giving Mary a winning charm. (Just imagining all the adorableness that is bound to transpire between her and Jang Geun-seok is enough to make me giggle in anticipation.)

Mary Stayed Out All Night is based on a web toon from the creator of Full House, and the rights have already been sold to Taiwan and China. It premieres on November 8 on KBS.

    • 13.1 popcorn

      i want to know too!

  14. 14 sora

    can’t wait for this drama to air!!

  15. 15 Nikki

    Love the hair! She looks like a doll :)

    BTW, I hope the chemistry between Moon GY and GJS is goose-bump inducing. I think Jang GS and Park Shin-Hye did very well in You’re Beautiful, but I never ached down to my bone marrow for them to be together. Their interactions were fun and cute, but it was just acting.

  16. 16 caryatid

    can’t november 8 come any faster… i’m so so so excited for this drama…:D

  17. 17 rianna

  19. 19 hpn88

    she looks adorable :P
    the start of this drama is going to epic for me (exams over!!)

  20. 20 Noypi

    Are those extensions?? Cause I don’t think her hair grew out that long after CS.. lol..

    So excited for this drama.. after MGIAG I have no addiction other than SKKS..Feels like I have so many free time. lol

    • 20.1 BellaMafia

      I was wondering the same thing too… Is it her real hair or extensions? anyone?

      • 20.1.1 Jaya

        It’s extensions. Her real hair is shoulder length now.

        And I’m one of those people who wants to see how her chemistry with Kim Jaewook is gonna be. I’ve loved that guy since Coffee Prince and Antique Bakery :} I hope it becomes hard for the audience to decide who she’ll end up with…I don’t want it to be too obvious from the start, I want it to be a real triangle!

    • 20.2 Rossi

      It has to be hair extension, otherwise, she possesses a mutan like power to grow out such gorgeous locks in such a short amount of time.

      I think long hair suits Moon much better. She’s cute with the shorter bob but so femininely pretty with the longer hair.

      p.s: Totally not related but I really want to read some fan accounts, see some paparazzi like pics with the JB and Girlfriday panel event. Someone hook me up, please? *puppy eyes*

      • 20.2.1 kyun

        youre not the only one rossi… but some paparazzi pics of them please

  21. 21 Francesca

  22. 22 Anonymous

  23. 23 Dele

    I think we’ll be a seeing some interesting fashion trends ignite from this drama. I’m loving her look, since I subsribe to the bohemian style. The Guen’s are going to break my tv from their cuteness. So excited for this one!!!

  24. 24 atsirk

  27. 27 Ariel

  30. 30 budsdiana

    Help!! Is it only me since DB change the format of her blog I am having problems reading the comments. Like this particular article, it says 36 comments, but I can only view up to 28.

    When the comments get to 100s plus it only shows page 1, 2 and the rest, I can’t access it.

    I am not computer savy so probably I have to do something in the “settings???” but I am really clueless!!

    I am missing a lot!!!

    • 30.1 birdscout

      The replies to previous comments are counted. For example, my reply to your comment is numbered as 30.1, but it is counted as a comment in the total number of comments.

  31. 31 müge

    I already like her so much and I hope the drama will be helpful a bit for my dear MGIG emptiness…

  32. 32 mskololia

    Well, since I will be abroad when this airs, I hope it helps settle my jet lag when i return with four episodes to watch fully subbed. I do not know if I will continue watching, but I’m looking forward to this one as my expectation level is high based on the synopsis.

  33. 33 Misa

    That tiny camera. WANT.

  34. 34 djinni

    i look forward to guenx2 but im hoping kjw will give us some of that kick assedness he gave us in bad guy.

  35. 35 Jane

    She dresses like an Olsen twin.

    • 35.1 anon

      Yikes, …not good.

  36. 36 champagne

    seems promising, but I love skks. whaaah!!!

  37. 37 3sha

    Gosh! I L-O-V-E her hair!In my opinion (and preference) she is much better with long than short hair, it makes her look more mature and it frames the shape of her face nicely..

  38. 38 Natty

    She looks really cute, I can’t wait to see the stills of the other characters! I think they start filming today, exciting!

  39. 39 absothe

    I really want to watch the drama, it sounds really good, but the prospect of the guys and their whole androgynous look makes me cringe. Oh the dilemma.

  40. 40 Pela

    I’m in the minority here but I really don’t like the extensions. I think a shaggy bob would have worked just as well with her bohemian look. Or maybe I’m just really biased cos I was amazed how well she pulled of a severe, no-nonsense haircut in Cinderella’s sister.

    • 40.1 anonymous

      MGY needed to have longer hair than JGS and KJW.

      • 40.1.1 ruby

        Hahaha I second that, JGS looks almost as girly as MGY.

  41. 41 Sarah

    Seriously cannot wait for this…. GAHH!! stop making me crazy with new pictures drama!!

  42. 42 Anonymous

  44. 44 girlatsea

  45. 45 Endroine

  46. 46 mtoenlob

    Love this girl!

  47. 47 Mxn

    her character (and name) seems very similar to Merry mary (메리 대구 공방전) with lee hana…
    nevertheless anticipating it~

  48. 48 Muse

    Does anyone think MGY somewhat resembles Da S from Taiwan with her present look?

    • 48.1 maria

      summer’s desire! they do look alike

  49. 49 Mary

    I just dont know why…i could’nt like MGY…i coul not feel any romantic flair linking her character w/ JGS…

  50. 50 maria
