Lee Yeon-hee cast in Gu Family Book

Er? Okay, so honestly, news of Lee Yeon-hee possibly joining the cast of the Lee Seung-gi/Suzy fantasy sageuk Gu Family Book had me going: Huh? What? WHY? Because for one, not a huge fan, and also that’s two female leads, and Lee Yeon-hee trumps Suzy on the leading lady scale. That would make me unhappy. (Not that either has extensive range, but Suzy has presence and charm and can be hilarious at times, while Lee Yeon-hee is always sleepy, sad, or sleepy-sad.)

But the role is being described as a “special appearance,” which usually means an extended guest cameo of sorts, lasting a few episodes tops. So it’s definitely not lead territory, but they’re being careful to say that the size of the role and the length of her arc has yet to be decided. What’s with all the mystery?

She’s still considering the role, and there isn’t much information on what the part is. My go-to guess would be first love, or maybe she’ll be the gumiho who starts the bloodline of half-human half-gumiho people? All we know so far about this show is stuff about the hero, which is annoying since I’d like to know something about the women in this drama other than “They’re in it.”

Seung-gi plays Choi Kang-chi (a pun meaning “strongest”), a man born half-gumiho who fights against his nature to live as close to being human as possible. It’ll be a fusion martial arts action historical drama, with one major twist in the hero who’s half-monster. I’m excited about the premise, and just hoping for some high production value to back it all up.

Gu Family Book follows Horse Healer and premieres in April on MBC.

The biggest drama she's been in is East of Eden, which was 2008 (which I haven't seen, I also haven't been a drama fan for a long time). She's since done Paradise Ranch with TVXQ's Changmin (terrible drama, I don't recommend it at all) and Ghost (which I remember enjoying, though I don't recall her performance). So if you haven't seen any of those you've probably never seen her!

She was recently in drama 'Ghost' with So Ji Sup. Not really a fan of hers but she was a bit better in that previous drama than she was in 'Paradise Ranch'. >_<" I hope she is improooving this time a round. *sigh* 2 actresses with questionable acting ability. I was really looking forward for this story...

Seung gi's kind of hit or miss himself (IMO K2H being his only good one). I'm actually a bigger fan of YeonHee than Suzy, and she was decent enough in Ghost.

I'm not really a child (to date myself a bit, I grew up with Turbo and HOT...), so I don't quite appreciate that comment. And just because my opinion isn't the same as yours doesn't make me ignorant, thanks.

I also didn't mean his dramas were hit or miss (boy chooses great projects, actually), I just meant his acting was really hit or miss (for me). I do agree he's improved exponentially though, so if there's a reason besides the premise to see the drama, it would to see Seung gi after K2H and if he could keep up the great stuff there.

He's not really hit or miss unless his next drama is a miss. He has consistently improved, never really gotten worse at anything that I've seen.

They start filming in a few weeks though. I think they need to get it worked out before then.

I do think the writing&directing plays a decent part in an actor's ability to showcase a range of emotions.
I think K2H was able to capture that for seung gi, considering he had to do just about everything in that drama as king of south korea.
The fact that he is continuously improving with each project is also a factor I would consider in this next project he takes on.

Hit or Miss??? I think most of his dramas have been Big Hits... K2H, MGIAG, SHINING INHERITANCE...

With me, he's totally fine in MGIG, I like his acting there, it's comedy after all and I rather watch actors overact than stiff actors, at least I know they try for their role.

Overacting is just as bad in a comedy (and many others have commented on LSG's overacting in MGIAG - such as JB/GF).

0

@ Vinn and bd
In MY opinion, he did overact a little in MGIAG at the beginning. But as MGIAG is a rom com, I personally think its quite ok. For heaven's sake, the actors who acted as his grandfather and the director also had a tendency to overact! So did Byung Soo! But if you had watched the later episodes, Seunggi improved! I agree with cb that I rather watch actors who overact than those who are as stiff as boards! Seunggi's very expressive and in MGIAG there are scenes where u can almost tell what his character is thinking just by looking at his face. He may not have been stellar in his acting in BL or MGIAG, but he is by no means a bad actor.

To say that his acting is 'hit and miss' means that there are times where he acts badly and there are times where he does well. The description certainly does not describe his acting. He started off good, but improved tremendously in TK2H. Of course, there is still room for improvement, as Seunggi himself always say. So pls don't use phrases that you don't understand.

Yes, there were other actors in MGIAG who over-did it w/ their facial expressions and body movements as well which made MGIAG less enjoyable (basically the only reason to watch it was for SMA).

Yeah not a fan either... she was very uninspiring in Paradise Ranch and I can honestly not even remember her from Ghost, and they're the only dramas I've seen her in. So yeah, not her biggest fan, but if it is just an extended cameo, 3-4 episodes, then I'm not adverse to her. Just not, well, for her either.

I at least find Suzy likable enough and has comedic sense to be excited about her pairing with Seunggi. Moreover, I seriously hope we can have more great actors and actresses in this drama to help boost Seunggi and Suzy's performance and skills more.

Anyway, I have the same sentiment with comment no.6 up there. I like all of Seunggi's dramas thus far, so that's what keeping me positive about GFB now. Please be good! And I wish everything runs smoothly from here on.

I think Seunggi always work hard in anything he does. But with great actors around him, they can tell him what is correct and what is wrong, give advice to him and Seunggi can learn through watching them acting too. Seunggi's main weakness in acting is he tends to overact because he works too hard at it. I notice he was more natural and nuanced in K2H so I hope he has learnt already.

You know, for some reason I prefer Go Ara to her (I saw her in some variety show and she was hilarious). Lee Yeon-hee I always put in the same category as SNSD's Yoona and TVXQ's Yunho ---> absolutely painful to watch.

I like her. Not that she is a great actor or anything but her screen presence is decent and she has a pretty face that appeals to my aesthetic sensibilities (which is why I actually like Kim Tae Hee, Song Seung Hun and So Ji Sob).

I liked Suzy a lot in Architecture 101 (but then again that film was so good that I liked the other three actors whom I normally don't really care for).

But most important is Seung Gi adorableness which trumps any co star as far as this viewer is concerned. I'd watch his show even if his co star is Snooki.

I would disagree about Jae Hee in MQ, he was a lead in my opinion, just that his character didn't get the girl. He had a different path for his character than lead males usually do. I always considered Kim Jae Won and Jae Hee to be on the same level leading man wise.

And Yoo Seung Ho is still very young, even if he has done a few leading roles, I don't think he's above playing a second lead, especially one as interesting as Harry in IMY. Again, a different kind of character and character path than the usual drama cliche.

Agreed.

Besides Yoo Seung Ho doesn't take roles based on whether they're leads or not. He takes roles based on whether he finds the character interesting or challenging. That's why he has a varied resume of leads, second leads, and side characters under his belt.

He did the same with WBDS. He was offered Dong Soo's role but deliberately chose Yeo Woon. And the Jade Emperor in Arang wasn't one of the main 4 characters at all.

He's always been that way. It's one of the reasons I've always enjoyed him despite some drama duds.

I just finished watching One Fine Day yesterday with Lee Yeon Hee as the 2nd female lead. That drama has a horrible beggining - nothing like the story and feeling that follows. I dropped it at first, then tried again for Gong Yoo and Sung Yu Ri. It was worth it. I'm not sure if Lee Yeon Hee just had a really boring role and that wouldn't be her fault. There are too many uninteresting female characters written who are suffering from diseases, tumors and one-sided love.

So she either dies, or she's a flashback character... like his mom or something. Her role is supposed to be essential to the plot but doesn't seem that big. It doesn't sound like she's the 2nd lead.

Agree that an actress should look good on screen (yes, I'm also that shallow that's why I prefer Koreans over some Taiwanese actresses) but if they don't have the talent to do their jobs as an actor then they should at least have some charm or onscreen presence. Lee Yeon-hee's been acting for how many years now (5 films, 8 dramas) and she still hasn't improve in that department. Same expressions, same blandness. Suzy has shown improvement already with 1 film & 2 dramas under her belt. Plus she's just 18 or 19 so maybe she hasn't grown into her looks and body yet but I do find her prettier than LYH and I'd love to have her long legs.

that's true. I felt sorry when I read comments for Level 7 civil servant as well. If any cast is unacceptable then just don't watch it. No reason to give too much negative comments. It's just a drama, so let's just enjoy it.

Eh, Suzy is very pretty as well, esp. when she smiles - but LYH does have features that are about as close to ideal as one can get (tho KTH is probably the closest as K-actresses go).

However, Suzy does have the better physique.

Suzy is a better actress than LYH, she has far more charisma on-screen and she can be really funny too. And she's only done what? Two dramas and a movie? Compare that to LYH who had ZERO improvements over the years. Who's the better pick now?

As for yeon hee, never liked her. I first saw her In East of Eden (which was a wreck on its own), she always has the same boring tone and expression, ans that gets super annoying. I was hoping there would be a better leading lady opposite LSK, he was amazing in K2H, great improvement, so he deserves a more talented leading lady.

I agree. They make a perfect couple.
I would only like it if LSG is not doing any other drama before enlisting. I would love them to be in a modern day drama. Recently, I have noticed that PSH is doing roles with some depth to them. Therefore, if it does not appeal to her she will not accept it. Just my feeling. I can very well be wrong. Appearing with a charismatic artist like LSG may make all the difference. But, they will definitely appear in a drama in future....they have too....they have a huge chemistry even in smallest of appearances together. :)

I don't know why some ppl prefer Suzy than LYH. Suzy might be more charming than her (well cos she is a bit dull). But Suzy's acting is mediocre as well. She is just an overrated actress,IMO. Eunji and Uee are far better than her, it'd be awesome if they cast one of them instead of Suzy.

As if Suzy got that great acting chops too. Sometimes, people were too clouded of their old judgement that they cannot move on. Did anyone saw LYH in Ghost? Well, of all the acting that she did, she was way better in that drama. And this is coming from someone who was never impressed by her. I even thought SJS would overshadow her but he did not. Well, the drama didn't focus on their loveline but on the story itself and I was a contented drama viewer.

Oh come on Ms. Blogger! it's just an 'EXTENDED CAMEO'. So you can hold your horses there and not fret for Ms. Bae's lead status in the drama. Speaking of Suzy, I hope to see her improve greatly in this new drama. She was cute in Big but that drama was just.......*shakes head*

P.S. I'm not a drama/acting/blog expert just a viewer but there are times when I don't agree with the opinions made in the articles here. But heck! I still come here. Why? Because Dramabeans makes good drama recaps.

This is the synopsis that I found on Soompi. I wasn't really interested in this drama before reading this but if this is accurate then I'm definitely going to be checking this drama out.

"A fusion sageuk about the love and trials of a man, Choi Kang Chi 최강치(Lee Seung Gi) who was born a half man and beast with traits similar to a male Gumiho (Nine-tail fox) to a Gumiho father and a human mother (Hwang Shin Ae).
Choi Kang Chi discovers he is half-blooded gumiho/human when he displays his special abilities when he goes after a murderer. Hoping to become a full human being, he went on a humanity journey in search of the way to fulfill his dream/goal while helping people along the way.
As for his love life, Choi Kang Chi falls in love at first with an ambitious Gisaeng, Yoon Seo Hwa 윤서화 (Lee Yeon Hee) whom he had grown up with.But with her burning desires to restore her family status, she and Choi Kang Chi grew further apart due to their differences in their ideals and morals. Meanwhile Park Kyung Hee, the tomboyish daughter of his martial arts teacher began to hold an increasingly special place in his heart although they are always picking on each other over the littlest of things when they go around solving cases.
And just when Kang Chi thought he was going to reach his goal in life, he is forced to face off his greatest enemy, his Gumiho father whom he hasn't seen since he left when he was really young. His Gumiho father who haven't aged, seems to be the mastermind to the horrid crimes he was determined to resolve."

The rumors on Soompi are that the main relationship is going to be between Lee Seung Gi and his father. If this is true then we don't really have to worry about who the leading ladies are because the romance with them will be more like a side story.

if you think about it, lee yeonhee debuted in 2004 and she /still/ can't act. suzy debuted in 2011, and you can clearly see the improvement from dream high --> arch 101. hell, you can see the improvement from the first ep of dream high to the last ep. (not gonna count Big bc her character was so shallowly written from the start)

lee yeonhee is far from ugly, but i don't like how she doesn't seem to open her mouth when she talks. -0-

i dont like Suzy. But i wont say bad stuff about her like you guys are saying about Yeon Hee. And i dont think Suzy improved one bit. Becoz she sucked bad in Big too.

I like Lee Yeon Hee. I think she has her charm, even if not all her projects were astounding. That one drama with Changmin (can't get myself to remember the name though), it was horrible, but her actiing wasn't bad; she was cute :1

Lee Yeon Hee is okay- I don't mind her terribly, as some people seem to. I thought she was alright, if not spectacular, in Ghost.

I heard that she was originally part of Girls' Generation.
Honestly, she might've had more luck sticking with them than trying to make it as an actor.

am i only one around here who like Paradise Ranch? I am watching korean dramas since i was 13. It's been 14 years. I always find Paradise ranch a quite good drama without so much hate and birth secret stuff. Changmin and Yeon Hee are cute there. Even i love Joo Sang Wook. It is one of my fav dramas.

Chang Min was annoying, can't act, and just yells on-screen. waste of time for both viewers, other senior actors, and the staff.

I think its confirmed Lee Yeon-hee is only playing the mother of Choi Kang-chi(Seung-gi). Important yet not too much screen-time. I'm looking forward to this drama and hopefully it comes out great!

Lee Sang Yeob? Really?
I liked him a lot in Nice guy, and I was hoping he will be cast as 2nd lead. I'm so happy!!

i think lyh is not that bad. i watched most of her movies and dramas. she did well in billionaire first love but worse in est of eden but got better in Ghost. her acting in My Love with Jung Il Woo also not that bad. I think she is much better and more beautiful than Suzy.

As somebody mentioned above, I'm bit tired to read negative comments toward actresses in this site, and why some people need to compere difference type/age/experience actresses? If they fits in the each roles, then that's fine with me.

In this case, I can easily imagine Lee Yeon Hee makes a great Gisaeng, and Suzy makes a cute tomboy girl who makes fight/action move with LSG. So, for me YES! I'm looking forwards this drama!

I really like all SeungGi's drama. He's a great actor + singer indeed. But I'm not really into Suzy, the only character that I like of her is in Dream High. But really2 not fond of her in real life. Huhu. at first,question coming fr my mind is why of all must be suzy? and now,, why it must be this girl?? never seen her in any drama. Only heard bad thing bout her acting though. Ohh,really hope it's not as bad as i think she wud be. When I see her face, why i think she's kinda like JinSeYeon in Gaksital. Not really good at making face expression and can't act that well. Know, I shud'nt be this judgemental, but really can't help it. Now,I will go learn on how to stop judging ppl :D

That's so sad

Feel really bad that so many are not willing to wait and see how Suzy does in the drama before burying her under so many adverse and some uncalled for comments. Does every drama that one enjoyed or was popular had top actresses. It's unfortunate that she is landed in this storm of disapproval. The drama has not even started. She is only 19. Do wish people give her a chance.

I'm a very hard-to-please person when someone acts
But personally Lee Yeon-hee is one of my favorite actresses.
For some her acting may not be seen as very good but some of the films I've seen her in (Hello, School girl) the way she's presented herself - You actually believe she's a school girl (If you get what I mean :S - She acted it quite realistically) even if to some people the acting it self wasn't seen good. :)

LYH is one of those actresses I can't understand. The sleepy-sad description describes her perfectly. The only role I remember her not being sleepy-sad was in paradise ranch where she completely overacted and made a song seungheon of herself. How does she get all these leading roles when she lacks so much in the skills department? Well I know not all her works are hits but they're substantial roles nonetheless.

Anyway, drama sounds interesting, will be watching for seung gi who improved dramatically in king 2 hearts that i just adore him now.

omg, totally agreed on the lee yeon-hee looking sleepy, sad part... watched ghost and did not like her acting AT ALL. i've seen lots of reviews commenting on how pretty she is, but whatever she did, her character did not feel alive to me.
