Kang Ji-hwan goes undercover for Detective Cha

Bwahahaha. Kang Ji-hwan — yep, it’s really him — strikes a sexy(ish) pose for his new movie, Detective Cha, which is the wacky comedy co-starring Sung Yuri that may be best described as Miss Congeniality meets Zoolander.

Kang Ji-hwan plays Detective Cha, a superheavyweight cop who’s got more tenacity than skill, who gets the chance of a lifetime to take on an undercover case. Thus he undergoes “a tear-inducing makeover” to infiltrate the fashion world and walk the runway. Sung Yuri plays a designer in charge of his butterfly transformation, which should be a hoot; they had adorable chemistry together in Hong Gil Dong, which allowed them to stretch their comedy muscles and flirty cutely.

In the poster above, Detective Cha struts his stuff on the runway and shows off his “killer D-line” — you know, the luscious curves of that beer belly. I know it’s hard to tell who the actor is because they sacrificed identifiability in favor of that awesome silhouette, but it is undoubtedly Kang Ji-hwan. Here’s the closeup:

The movie reunites Kang with his Level 7 Civil Servant director, Shin Tae-ra. I look forward to the reunion because that movie, while not the most sensical in terms of plot logic (there were some cartoonish baddies, some threat of bioterrorism, and lots of comic misunderstandings), was a zippy fun ride. If this movie can be as fast-flying with the action and laughs, I’ll be a happy camper. (Figuratively, I mean. Actually camping strikes me as a decidedly unhappy activity. Listen, God gave us plumbing for a reason.)

Plus! Also in the cast list are White Christmas’s Lee Soo-hyuk and Kim Young-kwang (also of Vampire Idol and Bachelor’s Vegetable Store, respectively), two former models who should be right at home on the runway.

Detective Cha will release in May.

WHY ARE YOU NOT RECAPPING LOVE RAIN? PLEASE RECAP AND SUPPORT LOVE RAIN - IT'S SUCH A CUTE DRAMA! THE PACE HAS DEFIANTLY INCREASED! I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH JGS AND YOONA! PLEASE RECAP! :)

Is it worth it? I'm in between dramas right now and have been debating - I LOVE JGS but HATE Yoona (sorry, don't kill me fans! I swear I love SNSD) so have been on the fence about this one........

Required fields are marked *

the cinematography's very pleasing to the eyes. I think Yoona's doing a good job playing the 1-dimensional, always subdued, prime/proper YoonHee to the 4D Hana. if one separates her from her idol/SNSD persona (which is hard to do...), I think she's portraying the Hana character with enough spunk and cheeriness that she's endearing. I also think the story moves/flows quite well. i'd say try watching ep1, then jump a bit to when they proceeded to the "future". not to forget, the actors playing the older version/parents are two AMAZING actors!!!

Like gala said, the two adult actors (for the older versions of the characters) are amaaazing, which is pretty much all I'm waiting for.

To be honest, my main problem with the drama isn't really the acting (JGS and Yoona are both serviceable), but the writing. I don't really understand or like the characters (particularly JGS's), and the story is a little too predictable for my liking.

Mwahaha I'm laughing so hard right now at your response.

I want to tell Kae Tung the same thing plus the storyline sounds so unoriginal. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this vast space called the Internet, someone is recapping Love Rain ( glad it's not happening here, y'all got enough shows to recap).

Hope all is going well in your universe.

Why? The answer is on this page: http://www.dramabeans.com/faq/

If you want to spread the Love Rain love, why don't you recap it yourself and share your recaps with everyone? (well, after you've figured out how to un-caps-lock your sentences)

AWESOME IMAGE!! Kang Ji Hwan is totally rocking the D-line!

And I love the Sung Yuri and Kang Ji Hwan couple ever since Hong Gil Dong! I don't find a lot of actors reuniting as a couple in kdramas/kmovies, so this is really a treat!
