Kim Ye-won had memorable roles in Romance Town (as one of the maids) and Sunny, which she followed up with Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, playing serial dater Dong-joo. Now she’s been added to fantasy-romance Operation Proposal, which stars Yoo Seung-ho as the hero who time-travels to his teenage years to get things right the second time with his first love, played by Park Eun-bin.
Kim Ye-won’s character is Yoo Chae-ri, best friend to heroine Yi-seul (Park Eun-bin), and is modeled after the Eri character from the Japanese drama. She’s been on the object of affection of a fourth character, Tae-nam (played by Park Young-seo, who was Queen Seon-deok’s Dae-poong), for the past twelve years. Apparently when our hero utilizes the “time slip,” Chae-ri is the one who undergoes the most change.
With a number of supporting roles in recent popular projects, it looks like Kim Ye-won’s star is on the rise. She didn’t have much to do in Ramyun Shop, but I’ve heard great things about her from her other projects, particularly Romance Town, and I think she’s got a pretty sharp sense of comic timing. Hopefully this drama will be another step up on her career ladder.
Writing the drama is Boys Before Flowers’ Yoon Ji-ryun, while PD Kim Woo-sun has worked on dramas Can’t Stop and You Are Quite Beautiful.
Operation Proposal airs in February on cable channel TV Chosun.

oooooh, what a coincidence!! I gushed about Proposal Daisakusen on OT today! Lemme reiterate: the OST makes my heart soar!! So beautiful!
Loved Proposal Daisekusen.
yeeeeeeeeeee Yamapi ♥
Nobuta Wo produce n Proposal Daisakusen are my all time fav! ^^
I loved her as Dong-joo in Ramyun Shop. She’s cool and funny. I hope she does well in this new drama and can’t wait to see it!
The writer of Boys Over Flowers??? ewwwwwwww lol
I had the same reaction, lol but I liked the jap. version though so maybe i’ll try
Honestly though the writing of BOF was not great, it was the directing and acting that made it suck so much.
UGHH same reaction NOOO.
The writer better not ruin Operation Proposal as well.
also @ Laica: Honestly it was a combination of all three (plus editing) sucking (apart from Lee Min Ho, who pretty much saved the drama).
I just watched her in Sunny. She was hilarious!
I loved her in Sunny too!
Me 2 too!! I laughed too much cuz’ she was really hilarious in that awesome movie “Sunny” & I like her!
Whoa, this Park Young-seo is easy on the eyes. For a sec there he made me think of Ninomiya Kazunari. A buffer version of Nino. Hahaha. I’m still not a fan of ProDai, butI might give this version a chance.
Er, I think I meant thicker version of Nino, not necessarily THAT buff though…. Note to self: Google for some shirtless pictures..
Which character did she play in Sunny? o_O
She was the leader of the opposite gang. Hilarious, beautiful girl.
Oh, I see. She was hilarious there. I remember that she reminded me of Kim Ah Joong a bit when I saw the movie for the first time.
I’m looking forward to this, always love the story line of going back in time – 17 Again, Time After Time, The Butterfly Effect – all the various ways to explore it are enjoyable for me!
Kim Ye Won has definitely been building up her resume. I remember seeing her in a lot of projects this year.
The jdrama was cute, but unmemorable. I don’t think I ever managed to watch all the episodes… I’ll be looking forward to this for the adorable chemistry between the leads
The writing… I have no expectations for because Boys Over Flowers just… :X
If you this drama is only cute, we don’t see the same drama. This drama is metaphysical, philosophical, nostalgic, a story about the time who is gone, a story about love, life and frienship; about regrets.
yeah the jdrama didn’t leave a great impression for me
whats a dae-pong?
Hahaha. Dae-poong? Park Young-seo’s character in Queen Seon-deok.
Aww, she’s cute and funny. I know a little girl (half Japanese, half Filipino) and she looks exactly like Ms. Kim. Coincidentally, the little girl’s name is Kim.
KYW sings too. Her song on New Tales of Gisaeng (under her real name) haunted me for a long time. http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView.do?clipid=31186288
that was her??! daaaaaaamn.
ngl, eri and tsururu were my fav characters from prodai. everyone else pissed me off to no end.
she was HILARIOUS in Sunny and Romance Town as well. She’s definitely one of the young stars I’m on the lookout for.
I hope they get the inspiration from THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME….it was a great story
ooppppsss..sorry. They’re following Proposal Daisakusen? I heard great reviews about it…someone named Yamapi was the lead.
awesome! i love her. i’m not thrilled about prodai but i’ll check it out probably for the cast, since i’m also not thrilled about a writer who managed somehow to screw up the hanadan story.
prodai was useless in that he didn’t /do/ anything on his trips back, not really. it had a nice vibe, though. also: catchphrases! don’t knock new york/hallelujah chance!
Yet ANOTHER remake of a Japanese drama….’Proposal Daisakusen’….
Yaaaaaaaaay! I am glad that she’s INNNN in this drama with Yoo Seung Ho and Park Eun Bin ~ ~
Ooooo, I will be looooking forward to this ~~ I’m rooooting for Kim Ye Won! ^_______– v
Oh. my. Gosh. IS that this actress from “Sunny” movie? So hilarious….when she was a leader of her gang and she was so scared & she stand so far away from her gangs, fufufu!
(squeals) I admired her so much & she’s really doing so awesome job at her acting like that. Looking forward to this ~
She’s all kinds of awesome
I hope this remake of Proposal Daisakusen will be good!
ooh! i love all the casting choices so far. i have not been this excited for a drama in so long!!!
