Sohn Ye-jin and Lee Min-ki will be pairing up in the movie Chilling Romance [오싹한 연애, a working title], in which she plays a woman who can see ghosts. She has cut herself off entirely from the rest of the world, but a romance develops with Lee’s character, who wants to protect her.
A rep from Sohn’s management explained that’s she’d fallen in love with the script early on and made the statement that she is “looking favorably” at the project. It’s a cautious way of saying that her side hasn’t finalized things yet, but things look good.
I’m still trying to picture these two in a romance together — it’s a little hazy in my mind, but I do love both actors. I can see Sohn Ye-jin nailing the vulnerability and complexity of a woman with unwanted supernatural powers. And Lee Min-ki as a devoted protector? Sign me up.
Sohn’s last project was the MBC romantic comedy Personal Taste with Lee Min-ho, where she played a cute, bumbling woman who falls in love with his perfectionist character, whom she initially mistakes for being gay. Meanwhile, Lee Min-ki had a very busy last year, with indie movie Oishii Man, thriller A Million, and the box-office blockbuster Haeundae. It looks like the next year will be equally busy for him: He’s busily filming Quick, an action comedy in which he plays a deliveryman who accidentally comes into possession of a bomb. He’ll begin shooting Road to Utah in California later this month, in which he plays a drifter who meets a woman in LA and embarks on a road trip with her.

Oh finally LMK in a new project…though secretly I wish he’d do a drama…miss him loads…
I want this now!
Shame on me for posting this from my Computer Class, but I just had to go: WOOT WOOT for Lee Min Ki. X)
and your teacher doesn’t use loads of F’s with students like you?I do >:)
on the other hand the uncaught thief is an honest merchant
you know you deserve a punishment with 48 hours continuously of watching kdramas (eventually without subtitles)

Lee Min Ki as I remember is only with 3 years younger than SYJ …with LMH there were some netizens yelling about the age gap between the leads in Personal taste
I had a problem with the age gap in PT.
And besides, cutesy bubbly bullshitty characters is no longer suited for her to portray.She’s old enough to pull those kinds of characters.
irksome to the highest level. I swear.
“with LMH there were some netizens yelling about the age gap between the leads in Personal taste”
Combination of that and the female character being a frumpy maid sort of character. Brings out the fangs from the fangirls.
(Kim Sun Ah got heat too, but the success of Sam Soon obscured all that.)
grrr sorry for double post it seems like my internet connection has a bad day : World Teachers’ Day
But I’m a good student. HAHAHA! Straight As since before High School. A Cumulative GPA I’m trying to keep above a 3.5 now that I’m in college. But I think I have Senior-itis cause I’m getting lazy…. and kdramas don’t help one bit. XD
*sigh* I need to stop blaming kdramas for my obsession/addiction. Self control, gotta get me some of that.
Wow, i love the movie already because of the cast. I hope they will also do kdrama too =)
*faints*
wow lee min ki sure is a busy guy…though i’d rater he at least did one drama…bt i’m looking forward to this
I can’t imagine any chemistry between them but it’s better to wait and see what they’ll give us..
but LMK has a knack of developing believable chemistry with his co-stars, at least from my point of view. maybe not the BESTEST actor but he knows how to potray his roles well, as well as gel with the actors around him.
Love her. will definitly watch it^^
I love both of them! It would have been better if they made a drama together…
So when is he going to do a drama again?
Any new of LMK doing a drama; he’s sorely missed in the small screen.
I Wish that there were theatres with Korean movies in Houston!!! There are so many movies that I want to see.
O, he is my all time favorite… sign me up, too!
I like LMK because of Dal Jia’s Spring and Evasive Inquiry Agency.
Hey, Lee Min Ki don’t just busy yourself with films.
You are missed in Kdrama(s)!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I have been waiting for Sohn Ye-jin’s new project for forever!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
Oh I love her, shame on people who didn’t like her in Personal Tastes…
she is gorgeous and just all around awesome.
They don’t like her in PT?Omooo mut be a hard annoying fan of LMH.. -_- If you watch A moment to remember you will see how different and good actress she is! And in the classic too.. love her movies!!!
I love her during the “Endless Love summer scent” series. I thought she was beautiful and really, as u said, awesome.
Started hating her when she did PT. Her aura rubs me the wrong way. Really.
I hadn’t known of her before seeing PT. Then I started to dig the Internet to find all her movies and watch them, one by one. If any actress in this world made me do that, she is Son Ye Jin! I wish she will get married soon and live a happy life!
Sounds a bit like Ghost Whisperer.
Maybe it’ll turn out that Lee Min Ki’s character is a ghost who doesn’t know he’s a one like in the Sixth sense and in the end, she’ll be the one to help him break free from whatever it is keeping him from properly crossing over. And with that she’ll realize that she’s doing herself no favors by not living fully.
Sorry, just bored here.
u should be a writer… one who writes boring stories.
sorry, just bored here.
just had a free ice cream (one of the best things ever)
Sorry, just bored here.
Sure SYJ is really pretty.
But.. there is this some thing about her. Tsk
Sohn Ye-jin!!!!! this looks good – will be looking out for it (please God let someone sub it)
i had to double take at the title.. lol. i was like “are we having another scandal?” XD
anyways, i heart lee minki so this is definitely a must watch. and son ye jin is really the cherry on the cake. true, i can’t picture them together yet but then again, i couldnt picture chae rim with minki and it turned out just fine. plus, son ye jin is gorgeous.
Oh , yes ,finally.
I check Dramabeans almost everyday to see if there any news about Son Ye Jin’ news projects,very happy to know this.
Love her to death. I don’t understand why people hate her in PT. She was amazing in it
Hmm… can’t picture them together either but love both of them so I’m looking forward to this one. Thanks Javabeans!
Sounds fun! Anything with Lee Min Ki and I’m on board!
I’ve never seen anything with him in it. Back when I was a (BIG) Lee Min-Ho enthusiast, I used to accidentally read his name (in my enthusiasm, naturally) as LMH’s name and get excited. Or enthusiastic.
Yay! I love both of them!!
*swoon** at Lee Min Ki
Awwweee….some! I first saw SYJ in Personal Taste, being a new kdrama addict (Hi, my name is Guccibabie!). She was great! Right away I looked up more of her dramas. So I’m on board! Bonus: Lee. Min. Ki. How great is that!?!
I love them both too….I hope they will have a good chemistry on screen…..
A HUGE fan of SYJ and been waiting patiently for her next project. I was kinda’ hoping she’d be doing something with the likes of Kang Ji Hwan or Cha Seung Won.
I’ve always found Lee Min Ki entertaining though I’m hardly a fan.
I think the interesting factor in this “unlikely” team-up is that Lee Min Ki has previously admitted in a variety show that his ideal girl is none another than Son Ye Jin herself.
Looking forward how that would play out considering he’s doing a character that’s got eyes for SYJ on-screen and off-screen (too?).
Same here! I was hoping to see Sohn Ye Jin and Kang Ji Hwan in a project.
They will make awesome chemistry togther.hoping to watch it soon.figthie
:)
I hope She would accept, the project sounds awesome.
She’s such a great actress so I think she would nail the part and Lee Min-ki he is so adorable.
love SYJ!!!
been waiting forever for her next project
am not really worried about chemistry because i’ve seen all her movies and she manages to create a wonderful chemistry with all her leading men
she’s just that type of lady
<3 son ye jin .^ ^.
