Best Love’s couple together for poster shoot
by | April 19, 2011 | 103 Comments

Haha, these two look so mismatched…and so very disgruntled about it…that it cracks me up.

In the Hong sisters’ new romantic-comedy Best Love, which premieres in about two weeks, Cha Seung-won and Gong Hyo-jin play two celebrities who are just about diametric opposites. He’s beloved by all and at the top of his game, while she’s got a bad reputation and a career on the wane. So what happens when you pair them up on a dating variety show? Hopefully, tons of outrageousness, hilarity, and sparks.

That grimace on Gong’s face reminds me of her perpetually dissatisfied, socially awkward character in Crush and Blush, so I can definitely see her playing this unconventional heroine with a lot of energy and quirky charm. As for Cha Seung-won’s popular and adored character, is he… frontin’?

The drama premieres May 4. Can’t wait!

      same here! two awesome actors, can’t wait for this drama. I hope it will be a success. the pairing may seem strange but it’ll be awesome for sure!

    • 1.2 LiLiApril

      She’s so Tiny.. Makes me wanna choke myself to death..

      • 1.2.1 janna

        Funny you should say that. When I looked at the picture I thought Cha Seung Won must be a giant, because whenever I see Gong Hyo Jin her legs go on forever and I think she’s over 6 feet tall (She’s actually 5’8). It must be that long skirt making her look so short to me.

        • 1.2.1.1 TgM4

          Yes CSW is 6’2″

      • 1.2.2 TgM4

        She is not really tiny. But i guess it is coz of the dress which is hiding her legs. She is looking sooo adorable, like a school girl. He on the other hand is looking too hot.

    • 1.3 poo

      Yes great actors, amean not just good looking, superb acting too! I am sure it is gonna be fun watching these two.

    • 1.4 Webster

      Yup, two pro’s pro’s. Looks like a can’t miss. Gong Hyo Jin never, ever fails…!

  2. jojo

    Hope you’re right JB. I love him so I’ll give it a try. Will you recap? Please, please.

    • 2.1 Qd

      Haha, I think that’s a given!

  3. Qd

    Thank you for posting the pictures and for the updates jb!!! They look cute together! I’m sooooo looking forward to this drama ! Can’t wait !

  4. djes

    I’m so hyped with this drama, as a WGM avid fan, and now a drama based on that show, I’m so in!
    And CSW, I always like him, not so much with GHJ, but I admit her acting is good.

  5. Christy

    cutest poster ever! Ditto. Please recap the drama! :)

  6. annieee

    this is gonna be sooo much fun! can’t wait til may!! and cha seung won looks hot, as always :D D

  7. dany

    49 days and now this, oh, i can’t wait!

  8. malta

    Thanks jb!!!

  9. birdscout

    frontin’ — had to look that up on Urban Dictionary :)

    GHJ looks adorable and CSW looks as if he’s going to have fun with this character. This all adds up to something I’m really looking forward to!

    • 9.1 swui

      I look it up too…LOL.. So I don’t get the wrong meaning…

  10. 10 tonia

    OKAY!!! This is hilarious. It’s just a poster but I am already hooked. Hope the drama will live up to my expectations. I love GHJ, I think she is one of the very talented actresses out there right now. I would love to see CSW in a comedy so I am definitely in. GHJ’s pose reminds me somewhat of Nodame….Is CSW playing a rocker? Cause that is definitely a rocker pose. kekeke

    • 10.1 Rina

      I thought so too…and he’s wearing a studded belt and chains hanging off his beltloops. I guess as long as he’s not wearing heavy guyliner.

      • 10.1.1 Lilian

        haha…is he going to sing too? haven’t heard him sing before!

      • 10.1.2 Justine

        He doesn’t need the guyliner though! He’s already got such dark lashes.

    • 10.2 Schmazel

      I just finished re-watching Nodame’s Cantabile (Drama+Anime) and was thinking to myself who could play her if ever a KDrama was made. And you’re right! Gong Hyo Jin could surely pull it off! Another one I was thinking of was Jung Yoo Mi, who played the title character in the Great Gye Choon Bin. Both of them play quirky well.

      *Sorry for being so off-topic*

    • 10.3 imoan.naomi

      Am I crazy for thinking that CSW looks like an older version of Taecyeon in this poster? He’s rockin’ that self-confident, self-satisfied, slightly constipated look that Taec wears every now and again.

    • 10.4 Alvina

      haha, I got that image too. He looks like that guy from Norazo.

      Totally totally digging this still, and the entire storyline in general. I hope I wont be let down XD

  11. 11 come2noona

    Oh the awesome-ness of it all! Great poster.

  12. 12 SpongeBob

    Am glad that CJW did not take up this project. otherwise, she would again play celebrities after Star’s Lover and the Actresses!! phew!!

  27. 27 Emi

    I am fascinated by Cha Seung-won’s hair helmet. It’s sort of magical, the way it forms a shell over his forehead. What is hiding under there? I keep expecting him to lift the bangs to reveal a Harry Potter-like lightning bolt :) It is a mystery of the ages :) This poster looks adorable. Can’t wait for the series to start!

    • 27.1 Rina

      ahaha! Now you made me wonder about it!

    • 27.2 asianromance

  36. 36 Cynthia

    Genius idea for a WGM takeoff! I hope this comes out of the gate firing on all cylinders – I laugh just looking at the poster. Fingers crossed for recapping possibilities!

  37. 37 Autumn

    omg they are so adorable.

  38. 38 lvsanchez

    I LOVE the facial expressions. Just one picture and I’m already hooked! Esp being a WGM fan… YB was great to watch as a K-Pop fan so I can’t wait to see what the Hong sisters have planned parody-wise for this one. Trying to not to have such high expectations but it’s hard not to!

  39. 39 SteamyBun

    I’m so excited for this one!!

  40. 40 YBisTOP

    OMG! Cha seung-won! I just got done watching City Hall yesterday. He is so fine! The leading girl isn’t pretty at all, but I enjoy her acting in Pasta. I might watch this. The story line looks boring. But I’ll watch it for the sake of my boo. :)

    • 40.1 Okie Dokie

      I’m just waiting for more hilarity like the part where KSH smacked CSW on the head pretending he was molesting her. LOL ahahahahah, I’m hoping to get more of that unexpected LOL moments.

      • 40.1.1 antonia

        you made me remind that scene. the must fun of all!!!! i love it and love CH to pieces, best drama ever!!!! i have to watch it again before Best Love begins

  41. 41 Okie Dokie

    CSW is workin’ it already. I think these two are going to be awesome together. Can’t wait until May already!

  42. 42 Mia

    Omygawd! Every time I imagine this is real I spontaneously combust inside, just a bit. If I could only harness all this expectation into actual productivity…..

  43. 43 maria

    gurl, he be fuh-ron*grunt*’n.

    LOL

  44. 44 doozy

    CSW: Yo, waddup!
    GHJ: Not impressed. At all.

    I.CANT.WAIT.FOR.THIS.IS.GONNA.BE.AWESOME.

  45. 45 Daniela

    I am sold. I like the Hong sisters dramas and i was planning to watch this. But now, that picture closed the deal.
    Wow, May is going to be very busy.

  46. 46 CreamPuffs

    I love her shoes!
    And this poster gives meaning to the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”.

  47. 47 Marg

    That photo is so freaking cute. I do like both of them; Cha Seung-won has a smoldering charisma and Gong Hyo-jin has a subtle quirky charm. So, I’m hoping they have good chemistry together. I’ll definitely be checking this drama out.

  48. 48 Revy

    aaaww I can’t wait for this to start. The picture definitely shows more than one thing going on.

  49. 49 Kitchel17
