Well this is a pair I could get behind. A new romantic comedy film is in the works, called While Breaking Up, starring Kim Min-hee (Moby Dick, Love and Marriage) and Lee Min-ki (Shut Up Flower Boy Band, Chilling Romance) as a couple who break up and make up over and over again. Kim Min-hee hasn’t confirmed, but the prospects are good, and Lee Min-ki is reportedly signed on to be the leading man.
The movie will follow the roller coaster relationship of a workplace couple. They’ve been together a long time, and have managed to keep their relationship a secret from everyone they work with. The story recounts their many break-ups and make-ups, and they’ll come to discover that their love is the real deal… in the process of breaking up. Of course. You never know how much you want it till it’s gone, yeah? Sounds like lots of bickering peppered with adorable cuteness, if all goes well.
At the helm is a female director, Noh Duk, who earned acclaim for her short film The Secret Pride Within the Mask. This will be her first full-length feature. With those actors headlining, it’d be a tragedy if it didn’t live up to its potential. No pressure or anything!
While Breaking Up plans to head into production next month for a release early next year.

Sounds cute! I’ve missed Kim Min Hee in dramaland…hope she’ll make a comeback some time this year..afterall this has been the year of comebacks for so many actors
Lee Min Ki. I started SUFBB last night and fell in love with his character. It will be nice to see him again.
Waiting impatiently for this one! Now, if Sir Lee Min-ki could sign for a complete drama, it would be perfect. Please? Pretty please?
You and me, both. I am waiting always! ;o
At firts, I thought it was a drama… reading further… it’s a film.
When are you, Lee Min Ki, coming back to the small screen? We need more of you, like at least 16 hours!
I thought it was a drama too! I watch dramas more than I watch films! I want to see lot’s of episodes with Min Ki being both hot and cute >.<
I want a drama, too! I’ll watch anything that Lee Min-ki is in, but somehow I don’t think that films bring out all of his awsomeness the way that dramas do.
I remember that he’s the main reason why I watch SUFBB anyways so I was disappointed that he’s only doing a cameo. Good thing SUFBB was a great drama.
I agree. A movie just isn’t enough. I need weeks of seeing that face.
Movies are great and all, but I wish he’d make a drama comeback someday. Soon.
I was so happy when i see his picture on the headline but then I read it is a movie. blehh.
I wanna see him in a new fluffy rom-com again! argh.
haha, same here
I want to se him in a drama 
also you can see him in the music video of Nell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6AzbOupbxk
Funny as I read the plot of workplace couple who kept their relationship secret from their workers and the breakup and makeup they go through and adorrable cuteness, the only thing that came to mind was Hotaru no Hikari with Ayase Haruka.
But’s it’s going to be mostly breaking up and making up over and over again story I might have to pass.
I can’t say I love the story line…
lee minki. ~
Sounds sort of like a vamped up World Within?
I was hoping this was a drama. Oh well.
This sounds promising. I suddenly feel like watching it. I just hope there are more stories instead of the couple breaking up every ten minutes. I do have high hopes for this. Movie, please don’t disappoint me, please?
I adore both of these actors, and they give off a similar avant-garde vibe.
I like their eye-fatties.
I don’t know why but this made me laugh.
The story little bit like I need romance 2012.. they’ve been together for long time.. and they had this break up-make up over and over.. but hopefully those workplace makes it lot interesting..
LMK is awesome and I look forward to seeing him in anything! We need to see him in a drama!
She’s not a fave of mine and haven’t particularly liked her work but oh well…
Ah damn! I got too excited and somehow skimmed over the word “film”. I thought this was a drama until I hit the words “feature length” and was like wait, what??? and scrolled back up.
Loll, well I’m looking forward to it either way.
I’m currently watching Lee Min Ki’s drama “Dal Ja’s Spring” and it’s good. Now I’ll watch pretty much anything he’s in.
Cant get over the story of Daljas spring . Hope they will make a part 2
The plot is pretty much the same to Yoon Kye Sang and Kim Ha-neul’s movie Six Years in Love. Which I didn’t enjoy.
waiting new couple !~that’s cute couple ^^*
I am glad to hear about this news! But, I thought it was supposed to be a drama, hahaha. I really want to enjoy while watching drama, ofc.
Well, I haven’t seen this actress Kim Min Hee for a long time….I wondered why she still isn’t back to dramaland….hmm…??
I think, to be honest, they’d be good-looking together if they would be couple!
Min ki! Come back to Dramaland please. Not cameos but a good 16hr drama.
King and Queen of Quirky-dorky-cute together! Hijinks ensure, can’t wait!
yay!lee min ki coming back:)
can’t care lee about kim min hee…
Kim Min-hee+Lee Min-Ki= Hee-ki (Hicky?) =D
I like him in the last movie project, but I have to admit I’ve missed in in K-drama land. Rom-com please. Fluffy please.
Seriously, ANYthing with Lee Min-ki in it is a must-see!
ah~ they look so good together! hope she agree to be in this. even if she’s not, as long as lee min ki in it, I’ll watch it since he’s a good actor.
A little bit like “Cant Lose” yes? I’m excited to see anything with Lee Min Ki in it
ok thanks
Yes, that would make me so happy! I’ve been re-watching Love Marriage and Dal Ja’s Spring. It’s my happy place. That, and Coffee Prince. Hmmm… they don’t make dramas like they used to!
omg i love min ki on dal ja’s spring! its so good!
i don’t like the part that kim min-hee died
