Drama Casting & News
More Big
by | May 25, 2012 | 91 Comments

…which sounds like terrible English, but is not. In this case, at least!

I know, there seems to be a TON of promo material about Big and maybe it’s veering on overload, and maybe I just want to see the damn show already instead of getting more stills. But then again, it’s not like I’m going to just NOT post them, am I? So here we go….

Posted above is the new character poster, featuring our Big star (hur hur—so many Big jokes, so little time) Gong Yoo in the center. Flanking him are his dual love interests, Lee Min-jung on the left as his grown-up fiancée, and Suzy as the teenager his body-hijacker loves.

Speaking of whom, Shin Won-ho is at right, as the 18-year-old soul that gets stuck in the Big body. (He’s a new face from Bachelor Vegetable Store and has been recently called a Song Joong-ki doppelganger, though I think he’s more like a cross between Song Joong-ki and L.) And at far left is Jang Hee-jin, who has never played a character I have liked (Myung-wol the Spy, What’s Up). I’m pretty sure it’s because of her, not her roles, but I’m willing to give her another shot in the midst of such winning castmates.

Then, above we have a couple of new stills of Gong Yoo, which basically reiterates the main sight gag and entire point of this show: Adult hottie playing the juvenile is both hot and adorable.

I mean, that’s essentially the point of all the character stills below, right? There are a few where Gong Yoo is dressed and posing as a normal-looking adult man (well, incredibly GOOD-looking, but normal), and then there are the rest that show him acting like a puppy-boy. He’s wearing a three-piece suit and hugging a Gundam action figure? Gah, that kills me. It’s like I’m all primed to bust a gut laughing, and I just need the actual show to push me over the edge. Make me laugh, Big! I’m all ready t’rip!

Big premieres in just over a week, on June 4.

  2. Lise

    Suzy’s getting so many projects! since she got a rookie award hopefully that means her acting has done a 180 (or even a 45 would do!) since DH! Hopefully this is even funnier than first half of RP!

    • 2.1 Kgrl

      Hahaha…Ditto that. I’ll take a 90, if not a 180. For the sake of GY and LMJ I hope this drama is a good as it’s anticipated to be.

      • 2.1.1 Ara

        yes, i hope so too

  3. kbap

  4. ceire

    I feel like my brain loses its ability to produce anything intelligent whenever there are Gong Yoo’s photos on display. Seriously.

    • 4.1 Kiki

      Fer real.

    • 4.2 OMG

      I totally agree….out of all of these pics…i focused on his n consequentially turned into a puddle of goo!!!

  5. Nipa786

    OMG OMG OMG!! Hot Gong Yoo OVERLOAD!! why can’t it be June already!! =D.

  6. Mystisith

    That show is growing on me, more and more. I really need a nice funny and silly show after all the tears.
    Shin Won-ho is going to be a noona killer for sure. He has the perfect cute face who reminds me of a lot of other guys (SJK, G dragon…).

  7. cherkell

    Awww, Little Idol Bachelor has got the aegyo goin’ on there big time! No pun intended, of course. :P

    Cannot wait for this!! Gong Yoo + Gundam Wing = EPIC WIN!!

  8. byj_angel

    I don’t know… but I can’t seem to like Lee Min-jung. There’s something about her acting that doesn’t really connect with the character that she portrays. She reminds me of Yoona’s acting. Bland.

    • 8.1 hj

      i feel the same way about her acting.

    • 8.2 mjfan

      no no no no no no no no , she is nothing like yoona , you guys didnt see her in smile you ?
      she is awesome , adorable and perfect match for Gong yoo , I really cant wait for this show >>>

      • 8.2.1 via

        I agree with you mjfan.. I loveeeee min jung in Smile You, she is so cute and adorable there.

  9. foodluver88

    What character is Jang Hee-jin supposed to play? A fifth point in the love pentagon?

    • 9.1 bishbash

      exactly what i wanted to say.

      it’s! a! bloody! love! pentagon! upgraded from square!

    • 9.2 my_diaries

      I was about to ask the same Q ! Im wondering too

  10. 10 Sun Yue

    Gong Yoo the man child is dressed much more childishly than the actual 18 year old. It’s probably just overcompensation, but I’ll allow it.

    • 10.1 Serena B

      Right. I was like, he’s supposed to be what? Eighteen? Not five. But…I’ll go with it. Lol.

    • 10.2 Dav

      Yeeaah, most eighteen year olds are so obsessed with proving how “adult” they are that they wouldn’t be caught dead hugging a gundam.

  11. 11 Rashell

    OMO..I’m so excited for this one. After the sob fest os K2H, I’m so ready to laugh. And Gong Yoo is always adorable.

    • 11.1 satsuki92

      @Rashell ME TOO! *high five*

      it has Gong Yoo in it too so I’m totally on board this ship.
      and at least i can be guaranteed that this would have a happy fluffy ending ^^

  12. 12 kent

    I see what show is trying to do. They are dressing up 18 yrs old more like a mature, and adult as this early 20 gits. I will take a peek when it airs..

  13. 13 roro

    jang hee jin looooooooooooooooks different!

    why does min jung and suzy look like they’re sister? pretty girls!!

  14. 14 hanna

    Why did they make the younger Suzy the sexy looking one and the older Lee Min-jung the more fun-looking one?

    • 14.1 Biatchhh

      Lee MinJung, i applause u girl,. Long,short,straight,wavy,curly,tied/untied etc she can pull it off all well, like really really well.

      And Shin WonHo~~~~ come to noona.. Palli Palli..

    • 14.2 Doonala

      my thought excactly. i’m assuming, no i’m hoping that 18 years old korean girls don’t dress up like that everyday!

      Suzy acting sexy
      and
      Gong Yoo acting like 8 years old child
      let’s hope we won’t see that in the actual drama

  15. 15 Kiki

    Depressing thought of the day: I know plenty of 30 year old men who constantly wear tshirts and jeans, want to play video games all day and generally act like teenagers, but they can’t claim a freaky Friday style body swap.

    • 15.1 Lazy Goose

      LOL!

    • 15.2 TamTam

      LOL, so true.

  16. 16 muhloy

    ahhhh korean men and their ankles….

    it’s delightful.

  17. 17 hottestjen

    nice poster however, they should make suzy’s photo kiddish because isn’t she supposed to a young 18 year old, but her style of clothes makes her look older and min jung looks more kiddish and fresh than suzy. and there are 3 girls fighting for gong yoo? i think that ex girlfriend being there is useless.

    • 17.1 kyary

      i think they dressed them that way on purpose

  18. 18 exquisitemelody

    Sooooo does this mean that the kid isn’t dead? We’ll get adult GY in the kid?! Please please please!!

  19. 19 amee

    This Shin Won-ho is adorable!

  20. 20 st.onehead

    Omg, YES. Shin won ho TOTALLY reminds me of L (lee hyun all from Shut up!)
    More L than song joong ki in my opinion… But yeh, I see what they mean.

    • 20.1 LOVE

      I agree with u. He is look like L. At first, I thought L ^^

  21. 21 st.onehead

    *lee hyun soo , not lee hyun all!

  22. 22 canxi

    Aww man. Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo look so freakin’ good together. So cray. Also!!! LMJ NEEDS to teach me to how to walk in heels like those.

  23. 23 Noelle

    FINALLY! I was wondering who was gonna play the young counterpart to the soul swap. The promos were placing so much emphasis on the LMJ, GY and Suzy I completely forgot about the other guy. They should show him in a suit or Dr. outfit. SOMETHING. Patiently waiting.

  24. 24 evelia

    Finally! I am so looking forward to this show!

  25. 25 djes

    Suzy is pretty!! And she does look older than her real age because of the styling, but I thought that how her character is?

    I’m agree with you, jb, I just can’t wait this drama starts.

  26. 26 BellaMafia

    I am so jealous of suzy’s hair..

  27. 27 all4movies

    Goo Yoo and his backpack reminds of the Prince’s boys from Rofftop Prince.

    Totally cute.

  28. 28 melonhead

    I love that Suzy still looks healthy, and not emaciated like most young female idols tend to be. She’s still really skinny by most people’s standards, but she looks alive and not like a skeleton.

    • 28.1 momogi

      SECOND That! She looks healthy and bubbly. I love her smile, and those cute socks on heels.

      For those who watch it on KBSW, like moi, should wait little longer and be patient.
      Ye drama god, I want to watch it so badly, please make some magic time jump. *begging begging*

  29. 29 hipployta

    I heard that Suzy’s character is actually stalking the 18 year old counterpart lol

  30. 30 Saima

    The two female leads have an interesting look: while LMJ’s cutesy Suzy’s va-va-vooom!! Lovin’ the heels….although wouldn’t know how to even stand still in them.

    I’m pretty sure Gong is having a blast playing a teen!! heeeeeee

  31. 31 NewKDramaAddict's tears

    Hope it lives up to its hype! That’s all I can say. I will be mega disappointed if it turns out to be another Love Rain!

    • 31.1 dbsklove

      LOL. even the pretty couldn’t save that drama…

  32. 32 Enz

    Gong yoo looks so good in the black suit.. I like him as a man. Hopefully he will be cute as the kid and not just annoying.

  33. 33 Enz

    Am going to try again… Can someone please tell me how I can watch this as it shows in Korea? Is there a website? I am in Malaysia .. Thanks

  34. 34 KC

    Lee Min Jung is sooooo pretty she’s blowing everyone out of the water with her promo shots (closely followed by Gong Yoo of course :) )

  35. 35 Oopz

    LOL.. That pic with GY in suit holding a gundam figure is EPIC!!!
    And damn GY-LMJ, arent they too good to be true?!

  36. 36 9to5

    I must have all those glorious shoes… Experiencing major show jealousy.. :P

  37. 37 9to5

    I mean shoe not show

  38. 38 Rovi

    ANTICIPATING THIS~!!!
    Another Hong jamae for the win~! XD

  39. 39 theedie

    SUITS. Dear lord THE SUITS. :Q_________

  40. 40 niKai

    why is teenage girlfriend looks mature but teenage boyfriend in Gong yoo’s body seems childish? Even the ACTUAL teenager guy seems to behaving decently in the picture. That’s character inconsistency there. Hopefully it’s just for photoshoot. In the drama, i hope the inner characteristic transcends its physical shell more credulously.

    • 40.1 Enz

      That’s what I thought too and I hope the same..

    • 40.2 malta

      They went a little overboard with the whole kid analogy. In the original Big, the movie, the adult did body swap was with an actual kid who was something like 12yrs old so actually somebody who could still play with action figures. Still cute though. Anything Gong Yoo does is cute. :)

  41. 41 K

    I love these so much!

    However, why is Suzy dressed like the adult love interest? I wish they made her wear something a teenager will realistically wear.

  42. 42 buki

    I’m probably the only one, but I think Gong Yoo and Suzy look way hotter together.
    He and Lee Min Jung look more like friends than lovers.
    Well, all couples in Hong sisters dramas had more cute, adorable chemistry than sizzling or burning.

  43. 43 bjharm

    yes too much promotion can have the opposite effect if one not carefull and it brings to mind another over hyped drama, ‘Lie To me” ..throwing salt over my shoulder so not to curse

  44. 44 Jules

    So excited for this show! Jang Hee-jin has me a bit worried, though, as I’m wondering what role she’ll play – I’m hoping against hope that Dr Gong Yoo isn’t having an affair with her, though I suppose that does mean it would then be “okay” (as far as drama rules go) for Lee Min-jung to fall in love with another man- er, boy.

    … and I think too much. *g*

  45. 45 Mei

    Loving Suzy’s vibe here. Kinda b*tchy but still adorable! :D

  46. 46 satsuki92

    can’t wait for the drama to air and for you guys to recap it :D

  47. 47 michael

    nice to see gong you again in a drama , since his succesful drama coffe prince

  48. 48 iZzie :)

    Amazing how Gong Yoo puts on teenage clothes and look way younger than he did when he starred in Coffee Prince. ;)

  49. 49 jomo

    Nobody does faces better than GY.
    He is the champ!

  50. 50 Shia

    GONG YOO!~~~ I really never have productive things to say on his Big posts. I just want to see the drama already!
