Yoon Eun-hye and Kang Ji-hwan to headline new drama

Aw, yeah! Small screen heavyweights Yoon Eun-hye (My Fair Lady, Coffee Prince) and Kang Ji-hwan (Coffee House, Hong Gil-dong) together for a romantic comedy? Count me in! That is, if all of the dramas premiering in May don’t wage a war in my brain and make me implode from abusing fourth-dimension travel.

Yoon and Kang have signed on to upcoming SBS Monday-Tuesday drama Lie to Me [내게 거짓말을 해봐] which I guess is more accurately, “Try Lying to Me.” But that doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, as far as titles go. It used to be called Sweet Scandal for a while, but decided to go back to its original title. Either way, it’s a rom-com helmed by PD Kim Soo-ryong (Green Rose, Father’s House), along with writer Kim Yeh-ri, who was the youngest writer on the team for Heading to the Ground.

The drama is about a single woman who propagates a con that she’s married, for reasons yet unknown. Yoon will be playing the lead Gong Ah-jung, and Kang will be playing Hyun Ki-hoon, who is “misunderstood” to be her husband. I don’t know why she needs to be married, but I’m assuming she uses him as her husband-beard in order to convince someone of the fact? I certainly hope this contract-marriage-as-a-con can be as laugh-out-loud funny as I want it to be. Ki-hoon is described as the standard k-drama hero: a gruff hotel chaebol. Boring on paper, but Kang is great at comedy, so I’m sure he won’t be your standard issue Darcy. Well, I’m hoping that’s the case anyway, because he’s great at quirky.

Kang has reportedly cleared up his issues with the Korean Entertainment Producers’ Association, finally allowing him to sign onto a new drama, free of contract disputes. Let’s keep it that way, buddy. For jb’s sake, and those of us who have to buy her drinks every time you pull out of a drama.

Lie to Me follows Midas and premieres on May 9 on SBS. Damn, May’s gonna be busy, busy, busy, busy!

Hurray! WOWee!
This news made my day! Love both actors who are great doing funny, romantic comedy.

I was disappointed in both previous story lines because they weren't that great in their last two venues.

Hopefully the writing is better in Lie to Me. Together they should be awesome.

Can't wait to see this drama in May.

The plot sounds meh. It feels like another contract drama in the making.

But! I will give this one a shot because of the two great leads.

I am excited about this drama. I love Eun Hye and I like KJH and loved his Coffee House drama. I am also expecting the project will have very good OST. A rom-com like this is what I have been awaiting for. And Eun Hye? She's the best.

It looks like May will be the exact opposite of Feb/March when I didnt even have the compulsion to check out one of the dramas that were meant to air on the other hand there's not one drama that sounds unappealing here...except maybe City Hunter...

This is the kind of things dreams are made of, but not really. Because not even in my wildest of wild fantasies could I have though to have these guys together *gasps for breathe as writing it makes it seem even more true*

I honestly had just thought to myself two days ago "maybe I'm too old for Kdramas anymore" - Bwahahaha...ha.

I have been waiting for KJH-YEH pairing since I saw them present at 2009 Baeksang---> so happy it has become a reality.

Two wishes granted ( Ji Hwan - Si Yeon in Coffee House and Ji Hwan - Eun Hye in Lie to Me), one more to go - Ji Hwan - Han Ye Seul... I want to see both of them in a drama, or movie, too.

I've read that Kang Ji Hwan is still not confirmed though! Is that true ?

Required fields are marked *

It's pretty much confirmed. The portal sites had already changed the cast for the drama, which is really official since the stations are the ones who change them.

And also, he was seen filming for it in Seoul like 2 days ago and he was again seen filming but this time with Yoon Eun Hye a day later in Thailand.

I think that the reporters just want to be careful because they aren't sure..

It seems like the guy who was seen filming for Yoon Eun Hye in Thailand might not be Kang Ji Hwan. It seems like he's still in Seoul, filming. No one has identified the mystery guy yet, but those optimistic fans of YEH, such as myself, are hoping that its for her LG Beyond CF with Won Bin..

I know what you are thinking, “American” high school student do better job then most of these grown adult in K-drama, but even compare to them she know how show feeling without being tasteless something I’m truly thankful for and wish more of in K-drama
