The 25th was poster shoot day for You’ve Fallen For Me (aka Heartstrings), the MBC Wednesday-Thursday music-themed drama starring Park Shin-hye and Jung Yong-hwa that takes place at a university for the performing arts.
If you’ll recall, Jung Yong-hwa plays Shin, the school’s top hottie and the “genius guitarist” of a band; he’s our cool, cocky hero who falls for Kyu-won, the classical music student played by Park Shin-hye. But before they end up in their romantic happy ever after, we’ll see him crushing on So Yi-hyun (pictured at bottom), the youthful dance professor who’s the recipient of our hero’s affections. At least for a while.
And he’s not the only one in that position, since her looks attract the attentions of many a youthful student. Her character once dreamed of being a dancer, and giving up that dream still hurts.
Then there’s idol boy Kang Min-hyuk in his second drama outing, looking adorably rumpled below as Jun-hee, another student at the arts university. He’s Jung Yong-hwa’s groupmate in real life in their idol band CN Blue; he’ll also play Jung’s bandmate in the drama. Jun-hee’s a literature lover with a particular attachment to poet Baek Seok who’s got a cute, innocent appeal. (Let’s hope his charm can carry him through this role, ’cause he was pretty awkward — though cute — in It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl, where his inexperience really showed.)
The main cast also includes real-life musical veteran Song Chang-eui playing a famed musical director-producer, as well as Woori as Park Shin-hye’s love rival, and Lee Hyun-jin (Assorted Gems) as an eighth-year student in the department who’s having difficulty graduating. (That makes him, what, a super-super-super-super senior?)
The drama is directed by Coffee House, The World They Live In, and Full House director Pyo Min-su. Don’t expect it to be side-splitting comedy, though, since I’ve seen it described as youth melodrama, not rom-com, which I interpret to mean that there’ll be some light-hearted moments, but that the overall tone will be more like World and less like Full House. The drama will follow Best Love on MBC, with the first episode airing on June 29.

I wonder if they try YAB all over again….and they have some newbies:D
Can’t wait to see SCU on screen again!!!!
im really watching for SCU….not really a fan of PSH..or the actor jung yong hwa …although i am a fan of CNblue….wonder if they’ll actually perform in the drama that would be awesome
Somehow.. I’m actually anticipating this. Thanks for the teaser, Javabeans.
I think minhyuk look cuter without spectacles.
I’m not a fan of cnblue or anyone in the drama but minhyuk look really cute so i’m watching for him.
yonghwa wae so thin? -______-
how could you lose 8 kgs that you couldnt really afford to lose in 3 weeks?
I know, right? He looks a bit sickly.
But I wanna know his diet secret! I don’t know what 8kg is in pounds but it sounds like a lot to lose in 3 weeks.
it’s about 16 pounds.
He claims he halved his food intake and did alot of heavy weights.
He also went on something called a “Banana Diet”. He ate heaps of Nanners, that I might I knew. But he ate it one at a time. Simon D joked that he tried it too, but Simon D ended up eating more than one Banana. XD
is there a way to watch this without BL to end?
well you can’t unless you want to keep living in the BESTLOVEland
heh
TT____TT
I know!
Yah , it follows Best Love but
my class starts on July .. I think
i can’t watch it while its airing ..
“an eighth-year student in the department who’s having difficulty graduating. (That makes him, what, a super-super-super-super senior?)”
This reminded me of the character Morita-san of the youth/arts drama Honey and Clover [though, Morita who's very well gifted in the arts did not seem to have difficulty graduating...he's just putting that off]
Another drama to anticipate…wait?am I able to sleep?huhuhhh
wooo!! im excited!!! but… it means that best love has ended… *tear*
Why is this NOT a romcom? It totally sounds like romcom material to me, and no offence but the lead actors don’t seem like they can carry melodrama, but we shall see….
@absothe…i beg to disagree that the actors here dont seem to carry melodramas…park shin hye before YAB has been doing melodramas like tree of heaven, stairway to heaven and kimcheed radish cubes and i would say she’s very good in it too…
PSH was the queen of tears before she got into Romcom
Hmmmm…
I’m looking forward to this one. I’ve liked Yong-hwa – both of CN Blue & his stint in WGM & You’re Beautiful.
It really bothers me that he’s lost so much weight, though – dude is looking too thin.
On a separate OT note – anyone seen the new Lotte Duty Free commercial? Fabulous and funny – all those top stars and idols shilling away for Lotte in a fantasy format. Hyun Bin singing at the piano in a tux to start off and then the gamut of stars begins, dancing and singing away!
Seriously he needs to eat a burger and stop losing weight sheesh. And and Minhyuk looks adorkable.
OMG the Lotte commercial was awesome. I swear if I saw that on TV, the whole house woulda heard me squeeing, not that they didn’t when I watched it online XD
Wow! So many Hallyu stars: Hyun Bin, JYJ, 2PM, Choi Ji Woo, Big Bang, Jang Geun Seuk, Kim Hyun Joong as story book characters. Here’s the link. Remember to click on ‘cc’ to see the English subtitles.

Omo I totally squeeled when I saw Song Seung Heon. Thnx for the link.
I totally love that LOTTE CF! ^^ Trust LOTTE to get the true Hallyu stars
Though I must say my bias will show when I think Hyun Bin & Choi Ji Woo, JYJ and Big Bang were the best parts
I know – right?! I was trying to decide which was my favorite part of the Lotte gang – and couldn’t. They’re ALL squeelicious! Even Choi Ji-woo doing her goddess routine receiving diamonds from My Princess lover-boy!
And 2PM playing pirate? Epic! Even KHJ (my hubby) put in an appearance!
It’s now added to my “Favorites” list…..
Omo When did KHJ become ur hubby? He is My- Joong
He just showed up on my doorstep one day, holding flowers. I felt obligated to let him in. He just never left.
Truthfully, it makes it kinda tough when Lee Min Ho calls.
I’m getting tired of sneaking around…..
Woot Woot! =D
I can’t wait to see this soon!!!! I will be looking forward to this drama because I am rooting for Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa, of course!!!!!
FIGHTING!!!! ^______^
I’ve been stalking the site for a while but this is my first post here, so hello everyone and thank you for making this place such an entertaining and relaxing part of my day
I’m really looking forward to this drama, although, as stated by some posters above, I’d wish Best Love didn’t have to end for this to begin. I actually think (hope, cross my fingers and toes) that Jung Yong Hwa will do a better job here than he did in YB, what with that whole older and wiser thing. My only caveat is that he doesn’t develop a case of Hwang Tae Kyung-itis, ie trying to channel too much of that character in here in order to cater to YB fans, which, let’s face it, this drama is definitely meant to do, judging by the cast, theme etc.
As a side note, everyone looks really cute in the pictures, but I find it rather funny that Kang Min Hyuk looks a little like Go Mi Nam in them
LOL I didn’t realize until you mentioned it but yeah, KMH totally looks like Go Mi Nam! He looks kind of annoying to me, though, not cute. And I agree w/ you about Yong Hwa. I can see that he’s very pretty but he really didn’t do anything for me in YB, neither looks nor acting-wise. I hope he can make this role his own and win me over.
I can’t WAIT to see PSH in a more serious, dramatic role! From what I’ve seen, she really shines in that area. I remember tearing up amidst all the laughter in YB when she’d cry. She’s really good!
Having Nodame Cantabile and Dream High as my only references, I want to say that any drama with a “musical theme”, be it pop or classical or both, is likely to be completely awesome. Show, please don’t prove me wrong!
Hm… The plot sounds like suspiciously similiar to some jdrama or anime I have seen. I just cant figure out which…
And Song Chang-eui !! <3 <3 WOOT WOOT!!
CN Blue will be peforming in this drama hopefully
If not, at least they’ll be in the drama’s OST.
I’m actually looking forward more on the second lead… hopefully Song Chang-eui and So Yi Hyun will end up together.. since the first poster we see them sitting side by side
i love park shin hye..so happy to see her in another k-series after yab..i’m sure she and yong hwa will be great in this series,i jst hope it’s romcom and not too much drama<3
they all look cute…but I want more Song Chang Ui!!!
I am not a big fan of the skirts PSY wears in this drama.. love her hair though.
I think this will be a nice drama with the classical loving girl and the rock band guy.. sounds interesting to me
Oh, and Kang Min Hyuk is cute and adorable.
love PSH!!!!!!she lukz adorable!!and minhyuk awwww!!!!PSH fighting!!!
So. . . am I the only one who kinda hopes there’s a Song Chang-eui/Park Shin-hye storyline? I’ll admit to be a big fan of teacher/student illicitness. There’s so much built-in drama in that sort of relationship as it is.
As bitter as I still am about What’s Up not getting a time slot, this looks like so much fuuuunn!
I know. I feel like I’m beating a dead horse or something hoping for that drama to get a slot. I guess I should make like the “Poseidon” wishfuls and move on
Does What’s Up even have a chance of airing anymore what with one of the main actors going in for army duty? I thought it was shelved indefinitely *sob*
Gah, don’t remind me how much I wanted to watch “What’s Up?”. WHY aren’t they giving a Song Ji-Na drama a timeslot, seriously? It’s Song Ji-Na! With singing and dancing to boot!
On the other hand, this looks like it’s gonna be fun cuz I LOVE music-themed dramas. . . so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Is that… “my bus”?! From Mary Stayed Out all Night?
If it’s not too heavy on the melo, I’ll prolly enjoy it, but I’m not ready to contemplate anything that’ll be replacing my beloved Best Love yet…. :’(
aww, they look so comfy ^^
So Yi-hyun is gorgeous, never knew
They had me at “genius guitarist”.
the picture look chill,
can wait for this drama to air
So Yi Hyun is so gorgeous
Looks so elegant & I think she will make such a gorgeous dance teacher as she’s a professional dancer herself
KANG MING HYUK ..WILLL YOU BE MY BOY..?…
Park shinhye Smile is So Sweet ,what a lovely girl ^0^
