Gong Hyo-jin and Ha Jung-woo cuddle up at sea
by | February 29, 2012 | 46 Comments

What a great way to whet my appetite for this movie, as if I weren’t already chomping at the bit to see it. Stars of the new movie Love Fiction, Gong Hyo-jin and Ha Jung-woo, take to Australia’s Gold Coast in a shoot for Marie Claire that makes me want to start buying summer sundresses and trade in my car for a yacht. Okay, that’s totally impractical. It’s way too cold for sundresses yet.

I love their easy, laid-back chemistry. I’m sure her real-life boyfriend Ryu Seung-beom is using it to fuel his method acting for his next role, where he gets to play an assassin who goes after Ha Jung-woo. Just sayin’. Convenient timing is all.

The movie stars Ha Jung-woo as a neurotic, nerdy writer who is a clingy mess of a man when it comes to the woman he loves, and Gong Hyo-jin plays a cool-headed careerwoman who totally throws him off his game. Critics are raving about the 180-degree turn in Ha Jung-woo, who normally plays the very serious, very badass guy in every movie. In this project described as the “male Bridget Jones,” he’s hilarious, embarrassingly frank, and an idiot when it comes to love. Aw.

A poster for the film (below) has him clinging to her leg with the tagline: “No matter what, I was wrong / Let it go just once / Please don’t go…”

Love Fiction premieres today in theaters. Want. See. Now.

    Adorable. Completely adorable.

    I want those dresses! You can have the yacht, GF :D

      Hmmm. Also, there’s something about that shade of red on the hair these days. I’m seeing it everywhere. What gives? 0.o

      • 1.1.1 Jo

        It’s a tint.
        Regardless,
        I love the poster and the shoot. Albeit the shoot is very…safe (not really expressive or anything) but it still has a nice summer feel to it. The poster and it’s color scheme is really interesting to me. I like it. It sort of reminds me of old 1990-2000 korean rom coms …..
        when there was no hd?
        idk :)

    Oh. I’m not picky. Just give me the little sailboat and let me choose my captain.
    Hurry up everybody if you want something for yourself… :)

    • 2.1 nana

      Dibs on all the guys 18-35.

      There, that should keep me occupied through the summer season.

      • 2.1.1 Mystisith

        Good catch ! I just hope your stamina will follow.

    hyo jin is a chameleon

  4. kay

  5. mellowyel

  6. canxi

    All the pretties belong to Gong Hyo Jin, man.
    Ha Jung Woo is also looking fresh~

    Can’t wait for this movie!

  7. Jossy

    Ugh take me back to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Coolangatta!!

  8. JoAnne

    She is SO adorable.

  9. trixicopper

    You’ve got to just love a man who isn’t afraid to be an idiot in love. :) Great picks, but who wears heels on a boat?

    • 9.1 Mystisith

      Heels are very useful on a boat. This way you can pretend losing your balance with a wave, and then you fall in the sea. Then the captain can dive in slow motion to save you from drowning. At this point you got the choice : breathing kiss underwater, or CPR on the boat.
      Full House memories.

      • 9.1.1 Laica

        LOL this actually reminds me of the Goldie Hawn movie Overboard. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that movie, it used to come on TV all the time.

    • 9.2 jojo

      I dunno…I always wear 4-inch stilettos on my yacht, but, never on a boat.

    It may be too cold for sundresses where you are GirlFriday but its bloody hot in Australia at the moment, so the sundress is quite practical.

    • 10.1 Andra

      I second that!

    • 10.2 keiko

      Not in Melbourne it’s not. Temperature has dropped to low 20s. People are already wearing dresses with tights.

      • 10.2.1 Ivy

        Gahhh…I love the Gold Coast! Actually just live half an hour’s drive from there..and yes GF it is sooo friggin’ hot here at the moment so those sundresses are so practical hehe :)

  11. 11 all4movies

    Korean women sure love their high heels. I mean, heels on a yacht? That’s an accident waiting to happen.

    • 11.1 jomo

      Wait! Wait!
      Ha Jung Woo on a yacht with me?
      THAT is an accident wanting to happen.

  12. 12 djinni

    i swear i have a total lesbian crush on ghj. she is just so damn adorable.

  13. 13 Christy

    i lover hyo jin! The cute dresses just look so perfect on her.

  14. 14 Nicole

    I think Gong Hyo-jin is so pretty and attractive, in a very natural and approachable way. And I love the styling here. I envy how slender she is. Suchamodel.

    I loved her wardrobe in Best Love, too.

    I probably will not get around to watching the film but I am sure they will be a cute couple. ^^

  15. 15 Noelle

    Love her. Her face in the last pic is lol.

  16. 16 KDrama Fan

    Thanks for sharing GF. Gong Hyo-jin looks AMAZING in these pics.

  17. 17 hot_saranghae

    It’s definitely not too cold for sundresses down here in Georgia……in fact, I could’ve started wearing them since last month if I wanted to!
    Great posters btw! I’ll definitely check it out!

  18. 18 Kender

    It’s actually decently warm here in Korea (a balmy 48 F, which is an enormous improvement from the 18 F it was a couple of weeks ago), so I could see breaking out the sundresses. As long as I could still pair them with tights.. >.>

    But omg, this came out yesterday?? Excuse me while I attempt to round up some friends who aren’t terrified of seeing Korean movies in Korean so we can spend our Red Day (I have no idea what it is, but we don’t have school today) watching this cuteness.

  19. 19 jomo

    I love him. I love her.
    I hope this comes to Toronto so I can see it on the BIG screen instead of about a year from now on a smaller screen – the film broken into 12 pieces with bad subs and not enough pixels!

    Do I sound bitter and jealous of you big city folks who get films?

    • 19.1 Laica

      Ooh, where do you watch Korean films in Toronto? If you find out, spread the word!

      • 19.1.1 Jomo

        AMC Theatres, Yonge & Dundas 24 :)
        I saw the Arrow there last summa.

        I had to tell the Customs agent I was going to Toronto to see a movie. He didn’t question why I would spend 4 hours round trip to see a 2 hour film!

  20. 20 nara
