Drama Casting & News
Rooftop couple cuddle up for poster shoots
by | February 23, 2012 | 118 Comments

javabeans: Amazing what a little chemistry will do! Case in point: Yoochun and Han Ji-min for Rooftop Prince. See, I have no problem with age gaps when the couple itself looks so adorable. Not all stiff and scary like with Lee Da-hae in Ripley.

girlfriday: Yeah they had the chemistry of… two… un-reacty substances, even when using a bunsen burner.

javabeans: Now there’s a drama where I wouldn’t have been surprised if they’d thrown a fauxcest storyline our way, because that’s the vibe I got. If a noona coldly used her little brother for monetary gain, that is.

girlfriday: Though in that case we’d have to compare it to the awesome noona-dongseng pairing between his little bro and Su Ae in Thousand Day Promise. I wanted her to adopt him.

javabeans: I still think it’s weird when you see the Yoobros together, because I get so used to thinking of Yoochun as the dongsaeng, and then I have to recalibrate my brain to remember that in some cases he’s the hyung.

girlfriday: That’s better than me, who still thinks they’re the same person.

javabeans: I can tell the Yoobros apart, but sometimes I still wonder how Yoochun can be in JYJ and Shinhwa at the same time.

girlfriday: Totally. When I didn’t know who he was (before he was in dramas), and then he showed up, I was like hey, Andy!

javabeans: Right? Like, dude, how come you haven’t aged in fifteen years?

girlfriday: And… I thought you were in the army?

javabeans: Maybe THEY’ve figured out the doorway to the fourth dimension.

girlfriday: Or at least a Duplicator.

javabeans: Maybe that explains the plot of this drama. He finds a pathway through the fourth dimension (Princey Goes Modern), and she gets a Duplicator (Princess Gets A New Body).

girlfriday: Yeah that would help, because I still have yet to understand how he thinks traveling forward a few centuries is the ticket to finding his lost princess.

javabeans: I love how she’s all like, “Ooh, I love you and I want to hold and squeeze you!” And he’s like, “Ehn. I’m not your puppy!” And she’s like, “Of course you are. Shut up and let me hug you.” Just like all the fan-noonas out there in the world.

girlfriday: Looks like she’s playing puppy too, all you’re-my-pet in a cardboard box. Maybe the poster concept is Rooftop Pet.

javabeans: Or You’re My Little Prince?

girlfriday: Aw, I love The Little Prince! Too bad he’s not actually from another star, like the Vampidols. Their whole ugly-is-pretty thing was the funniest fish-out-of-water concept I’ve seen in a while. Too bad Yoochun’s not uglier. Wait. Did I just say that?

javabeans: Ha, as if the prince-leapfrogs-centuries-and-gets-poor-and-meets-his-dead-princess’s-double isn’t weird enough for you, you want him to be an alien too? Is that just an excuse for you to “teach” him the ways of our world, like how you must always greet noona with a kiss and a cookie?

girlfriday: I admit to nothing.

      • 1.1.1 gala

        ohhh my i can’t unsee now. it’s true. (gawd, that kid is overexposed!)

  2. Vy

    Cute!

  3. Lily

    screencaps do not do that video justice
    The cute is killing me
    =D

    • 4.1 JoseonPowerRangers

      and she’s already upped the piggy back ride to a shoulder one

      http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/7031e226jw1dqclh68q8ag.gif

      currently i am only watching history of a salaryman and bits of MoonSun
      the next crop of kdramas look good
      “the king” “rooftop prince”
      are on my watch list so far

      • 4.1.1 qhmieee

        joseon power rangers… rofl. that video is so much love!!

    • 4.2 puddingpie

      i know right!!! *dies*

    • 4.3 Lala

      OMG, the cuteness in that video. Who knew Han Ji Min could do cute so well. I am already loving their pairing, and maybe a little jealous too, lol.

      • 4.3.1 Kiara

        Oh I knew hahaha

      • 4.3.2 gala

        she was all cutesy and “bundly” in Great Inheritance though. hence I really feel she could pull this off.

    • 4.4 Raine

      Your handle is the best EVAR!

  5. niKai

    why is she all cutesy when he’s so stiff? because he’s a prince?

    • 5.1 Ivoire

      Could also be because he is from another era. In those days (of princes and Joseon era and such), skinship was kept to a minimum and meant a lot, as I understand it and as Javabeans explained in one of her posts. I think Yoochun is staying in character… which I think is cute and adorable.

      • 5.1.1 Raine

        I’m so stoked for this! I need to watch this when I’m not in a public place…where are my headphones?

  6. Mystisith

    Aren’t they cute ?? Awfully cute. We need another word : Cute is overused. The poor King is overwhelmt : He surely had a lonely childhood, treated like God on Earth, deprived of affection. This is what noonas are made for : Warm embraces.
    I’m all for the noona power. I do greetings mafia style ( hope we don’t have touchy russian or italian readers on DB or i’m dead ) : Kiss of Death if you betray me.
    Rooftop pet : :)

    • 6.1 Ivoire

      Hi Mystisith,
      I left you a message on the “Twelve Men in a Year” commentators section. I hope that you will read it and respond when you have some time,

      Thank you!

  7. KDaddict

    The banter between jv n gf is always bone-tickling funny!
    The age gap between Micky n HJM is only 4 years. No big shakes. Negligible. He is cute as a newborn pup; she is petite n pretty. Should be a good show.

    • 7.1 JoAnne

      She is the most ridiculously bitty thing ever. So flippin’ cute.

      • 7.1.1 Mystisith

        She’s just a kawaî doll ( tired of the word cute ), and i’m sure all the tall big guys want to hold her princess style. You just want to protect her, it’s indecent : A trap for innocent impressionable guys. And those Shrek Cat’s eyes, it should be illegal.

        • 7.1.1.1 Cynthia

          Lol

          I really like the physical difference between the two of them – she’s so petite that he looks really tall in comparison. (That was one of the reasons I liked the pairing of KHJ & JSM in PK).
          Yoochun was practically nose-to-nose with Lee Da-hae in Ripley.
          :)

          • 7.1.1.1.1 JoAnne

            He has never really appealed to me so all the fangirling has been a puzzle but I think I might start to see it in this, Too be fair this will be my first drama with him so perhaps it’s that.

          • 7.1.1.1.2 Ani

            I totally understand where you’re coming from JoAnne. I mean I know he is ok looking, but he’s never hit me as HOT. But that’s because I’ve never followed DBSK or JYJ, and have never seen his dramas – only read recaps. But I think if I end up liking this drama than you can say I’m a new found Yoochun fan. Sigh. And here I thought I was shallow enough to like a guy just for his looks. It appears personality/drama-character counts too. XD

          • 7.1.1.1.3 Cynthia

            Whuh? You didn’t watch SKKS or Ripley?

          • 7.1.1.1.4 JoAnne

            Not yet, I haven’t. I’ve only been watching KDrama since June…and I have covered fair ground, but I haven’t seen those two yet.

          • 7.1.1.1.5 qhmieee

            Perhaps this video from the poster photoshoot can help….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DywmTJuXK8&feature=channel :D

          • 7.1.1.1.6 nicole

            You don’t get the appeal of him now but once you get his appeal than you will stuck with that and can’t go away from his spell LoL.. cos that’s what happened to me. He may not be that attractive at first glance cos it took me many many glances to fall for him. But actually he has really nice features if u look at him carefully.His long eyelashes, sharp nose bridge and sexy lips. And not to mention his bright smile. Ok i’m fangirling now. haha and I have never been loyal to any actor or celebrity like now. I change biases often but now I only stick with yuchun.

          • 7.1.1.1.7 bluetsukky

            @Nicole: Can’t stop laughing when you started fangirling at your comment. Haha.
            @JoAnne: Take your time, because if ever you get hooked at Yoochun, it’s almost impossible to get yourself out of it. Haha. Well I’m just speaking based on personal experience.
            Oh you should check out SKKS, not just for Yoochun, but it’s really a good drama. ^^
            Anyway, I’m really excited for Rooftop Prince. February has been really tiring for me so a drama filled with Yoochun goodness is such a great gift haha.

          • 7.1.1.1.8 purplemay

            You should watch Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Its a super great drama and you wont regret it..
            I was hesitant to watch it at first bec i dont really watch Sageuk drama. But since it has good reviews, I decided to watch it and at first, Song Joongki appeal to me and not Yoochun… but as the episode progresses, with all close up thing and love dilemma, I found myself completely lost in Yoochun-PMY land…
            Plus gotta love Jalgeum Quartet… and all the characters actually.

          • 7.1.1.1.9 Raine

            I personally didn’t get Micky Yoonchun until I saw him in SKKS and then when I saw him do an interview in ENGLISH. That was so sexshi. He has a certain charisma.

            She is suuuuper kawaiiiiii! She’s so small but her personality fills every frame. so awesome.

  8. okdubu

    yoochun …………………… andy ??????? lol i have no words.

    • 8.1 geanna

      i know right? i never see the resemblance before lol!

      • 8.1.1 Ishi

        I’ve always thought they look similar aswell!So, when I was reading this I couldn’t help but laugh out loud :D

  9. Arhazivory

    Cute. Totally cute!!

  10. 10 jenn

    Cute cute cute!
    I love the noona :D , dongseng -_- photo.
    I always thought Han Ji Min looked a lot like Song Ji Hyo, but not in these photos. She looks more like Kim Jung Eun.

  11. 11 Kiara

    Onscreen chemistry no doubt. HJM so adorable <3.

  12. 12 ~Feather~

    oh my goodness, the pics of her in a box are AWdorable! He really looks like he’s saying that she’s being to lovey dovey. ahhhh! they are just so CUDDLEY! :3

    I DEEM CUDDLEY THE NEW WORD TO DESCRIBE THEM!!!!!

    • 12.1 Ivoire

      I like CUDDLEY, it’s a good word. Can we apply it to other couples who look cute and lovey dovey as well :-) ?

      • 12.1.1 ~Feather~

        OK! *clears throat and grabs megaphone*

        ATTENTION ALL! From now on, any couple that is cute and lovey dovey shall be deemed CUDDLEY!!! THANK-YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

    • 12.2 Lala

      Lol, I like cuddley too. I am already looking forward to the drama. Too many angsty dramas lately. I want a nice, romantic drama with cutesy scenes and some comedy.

      • 12.2.1 Raine

        Na du!

  13. 13 Saima

    Ok, I never found Yoochun particularly good-looking…..i discontinued SS cuz his character was such a snooze, didn’t watch Ripley, BUT he’s lookin’ good here. heh. And, they look soo good together…i think what helps me is that i saw some shots of the four boys with manes of glory in tracksuits lookin’ at HJM on how to prepare/eat ramyun. It was too adorable for words to describe!!

    • 13.1 ~Feather~

      where did you see those shots? can you tell me? thankyou!

      • 13.1.1 Saima

        I’m a ‘lil hesitant to talk/post abt another blog but i read it on Koala’s blog:

        http://koalasplayground.com/2012/02/22/rooftop-prince-and-king-2hearts-unveils-latest-drama-stills/

        *runs and hides*

        • 13.1.1.1 ~Feather~

          oh my god! i DIED when i saw the tracksuit pics! i had to stuff my fist in my mouth so my family would give the “are you insane again?” look.

      • 13.1.2 orenji13

        then you may want to see this..
        http://twitpic.com/8nuht6

        It’s funny without even have to try hard

        • 13.1.2.1 jyyjc

          Omg why haven’t I seen that yet? It looks so funny! Now I’m even more excited.

        • 13.1.2.2 Saima

          hahahahahah!! gosh love all of ‘em but i really like LMH after seeing him in SunMoon!!

        • 13.1.2.3 Cruelsummer

          Ok this does the trick. I’m definitely watching this show.

        • 13.1.2.4 ~Feather~

          luv it! <3

  14. 14 Hang

    They look so adorable together. They do have chemistry, do they not (for those in doubt including myself with respect to the age gap). Han Ji-min is tiny and Yoochun looks mature and cool enough. OMG, I’m dying in wait for this drama. One month to go…

  15. 15 Cam

    GOSH ~ GOOOSH ~ How adoooorable they are!! I am glad that both of them have a good chemistry together during the photo shoot, ofc. Bravooo Bravooo!

    YooChun are still CUTE as same as his younger brother, too! Hehe ~ :)

  16. 16 roro

    OMG LOVE THE CHEMISTRY, I CAN NOT WAIT REALLY CAN NOT WAIT….

  17. 17 puddingpie

    definitely love the 1st picture..Yoochun smile *dies* ^____^

    they both look so comfortable around each other from the BTS video.. Can’t wait!!

  18. 18 Noelle

    She’s cute. Whats with Yoochun? He got all serious.

  19. 19 canxi

    Hahah I watched the video for this. They are definitely cute!

  20. 20 sogba

    looking forward to it!

  21. 21 nzltt

    Hi Javabeans, I think u made mistake. Yoochun is not a Shinhwa member. So of course he is not aged. He was from DBSK and is still under 30… He hasnt been in the army yet :)
    The couple look cute together…

    • 21.1 JoseonPowerRangers

      um Javabeans/Girlfriday know that
      they were joking.

      you should google andy
      he DOES look like yoochun

      • 21.1.1 pitnee

        and… after I googled, I got this:
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZumWTyIMsI

        Andy and Yoochun together!! in nonstop4 (2004 – Micky just debuted) XD

        • 21.1.1.1 oblivious

          Gaaah, just watched the video, was the Hyun Bin with the blondish hair or am I hallucinating?

          • 21.1.1.1.1 pitnee

            Yes. it’s him… and you should see Jang Geun Suk there as well. =)

      • 21.1.2 gala

        i still think he looks more like Yeon Jung Hoon.

  22. 22 ililaa

    Freakin love Han Ji Min and Yoochun! I can’t wait for this drama.

  23. 23 Ingledove

    traveling in the future to find your lost love makes total sense. As long as she’s the reincarnation, she still has the same soul. I love reincarnation stories <3

  24. 24 Bluefyre

    This post it is filled with so much win it is! :D

  25. 25 win

    They’re both cute but I’m getting brother & sister rather than lovers vibes.

  26. 26 JG

    What an adorable couple. I just wanna squish them!! I am totally shipping this pair already! Can’t wait.

  27. 27 eternalfive

    Aw, they’re so cute! Love how Yoochun’s all stiff and serious while Han Ji Min’s like *YAYGIMMEAHUUUUG*. :P

  28. 28 bluetsukky

    IKR! I never really expected any chemistry from them but here I am, squealing like the teenager that I am for their cuteness together.
    I’m a fan of Yoochun but I never thought he looked like Andy! Haha. Well I don’t really know how Andy looks like that is.
    And GF, I don’t really blame you for not being able to tell the Yoobro’s apart, many have mistaken the two bro’s too. Haha.
    Thanks for the good laugh early in the morning here in our country! ^^

  29. 29 Thatgirl

    I’ve already had enough of Han Ji Min in Padam Padam. I’m sick of her now.

    • 29.1 Bluefyre

      Your comment and u/n go so well together!

      • 29.1.1 Thatgirl

        What is that suppose to mean?

  30. 30 Cynthia

    Reading this post by the two of you was like listening to your ‘DrunkenPodCast’ – only in writing.
    Too funny!
    :)

  31. 31 DarknessEyes

    Yoochun oppa!!!! Tho they do look a little like brother and sister. But I guess they make a good couple :)

  32. 32 kirara

    OMG.. TOO cute.. I can NOT wait for this to come out.. ! YES…:)

    Although I got confused on the conversation between you two (javabeans and girlfriday) about Yoochun and his brother and how they are related to Andy from Shinhwa? I guess someone can enlighten me?

    Either way, cant wait for this drama to air..! :D

    • 32.1 asianromance

      Yoochun resembles Andy from Shinhwa- especially when you haven’t been used to seeing him in a drama.

  33. 33 Indie

    Awwww, they are adorable! And their facial expressions are just <3

  34. 34 Nica

    Guess Yoochun needs to toughen up his bodyguards or else he’ll find himself dead… courtesy of SO JI SUB. For me, Han Ji Min will always be SJS’b property. Ha! >D

    • 34.1 JoAnne

      What was she in with So Ji Sub?

      • 34.1.1 Kiara

        Cain and Abel.

    • 34.2 gala

      “SJB’s property” – lol, that made me twitch in a not-so-good way.

  35. 35 kaka

    wow..They are sooooo cute!…cant wait for this drama!

  36. 36 Christy

    Aww, they’re so cute together!!

  37. 37 hot_saranghae

    This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Han Ji Min….she has been paired up with quite strong actors like Uhm Tae Woong, Kang Ji Hwan, So Ji Sub and Lee Seo Jin….and she always seem to compliment them, despite the fact that she’s not really a great actress…..
    I mean she’s alright and always deliver her stuff, but she’s not really a super strong actress….yet she’s always a nice addition to any drama production…….

  38. 38 starrynighttt

    YOOCHUN LOOKS SO CUTE<3

  39. 39 Donna

    thank you JB,

    Posters and then the drama (body language) will relate a different story.

  40. 40 NewGirl_the3rd

    So cute
    The story reminds of Kate & Leopold with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman
    I can’t wait for this

  41. 41 asianromance

    LOL! I also think Yoochun looks like Andy from Shinhwa! Chemistry is a strange thing. Yoochun’s looking all stiff while Han Ji Min is being cuddly and adorable and boom- chemistry is born out of that!

  42. 42 Linda165

    Chunface!! I miss my dork :(

    That’s me, right there! That’s exactly what I would do. I would stick to him like poop on a blanket.

    I agree with you guys, Andy and Yoochun could be hyung-dongsaeng. And Mr. Hot Vampire Prosecutor could be their hyung.

    • 42.1 JoAnne

      I do see the resemblance with Hot Prosecutor…and HP is hot, for sure. Yoochun to me is just kind of cute. Haven’t ever seen Shinhwa so I can’t say anything about Andy.

  43. 43 hapacalgirl

    A little off topic but Manes of Glory + matching tracksuit, + back of a truck instant ramen is all I got to say.

    The stills of that alone have me on board for this drama.

  44. 44 djes

    OHMY, why I never think that Yoochun resembles Andy?? I can totally see it NOW!

    Dunno why when I saw these pics I just imagined him with certain someone on the Mon-Tue’s drama.. HJM is like the petite version of her.

  45. 45 Dara

    The posters look like she made the crown prince wear the modern clothes, and he went stiff, haha!

  46. 46 Anvesha

    They look adorable together. Han Ji Min is probably a lot older but it doesn’t really matter…

  47. 47 Mystisith

    Chrome tells me the world *cute* has been used 34 times on this thread, and *adorable* 10 times. What can we tell from this ?

    • 47.1 JoAnne

      Lots of hugs. No sex.

      (Psst…anyone interested, there’s a pretty racy party going on over at Mr. Song’s place.)

      • 47.1.1 ~Feather~

        haha! racy indeed! i had to step out for a bit cuz it was too much.

  48. 48 dapinaymrs

    “girlfriday: Aw, I love The Little Prince! Too bad he’s not actually from another star, like the Vampidols. Their whole ugly-is-pretty thing was the funniest fish-out-of-water concept I’ve seen in a while. Too bad Yoochun’s not uglier. Wait. Did I just say that?”

    Bahahahahahahahaha! gf you crack me up! ROFL!

  49. 49 tiffany

    can’t can’t can’t WAITTTT for thisss :D :D :D hehe sooo cuuuuute!!!
