Kim Haneul back with romantic melo

Kim Haneul seems to be doing well alternating between film and drama roles, and since her last one was in a hit drama (A Gentleman’s Dignity), it’s time for her to take up her next movie: a project titled The Mood That Day.

It sounds like a thoughtful melo-romance, and the descriptions call attention to its atmospheric, sentimental tone. The plot unfolds over the course of 24 hours as a man and a woman who happened to sit next to each other on the train fall in love in Busan, an unfamiliar city (to them). I’m getting vaguely Before Sunrise vibes from the setup, though I think location is key to shaping the mood.

The Mood That Day has actually been in the works for quite some time, and Kim Haneul was set to star in it all the way back in 2006—where her co-star would have been a not-yet-famous Kang Ji-hwan. That cracks me up, since the two have been in numerous projects together over the years and feel like a familiar married couple (in my mind, that is): They started with a CF when she was a rising star and he was a no-name actor, then romanced each other in 90 Days’ Time to Love and the movie version of Level 7 Civil Servant. When the project fizzled seven years ago, the CEO of the production company developing the film promised to work with Kim in the future, though she has since passed away.

Now The Mood That Day is being revived by the CEO’s former colleagues, and Kim Haneul is finalizing contract negotiations while the production courts potential leading men. I guess it would be too much to hope for yet another Kang Ji-hwan reunion… OR WOULD IT. It’s only a bad thing if the pairing doesn’t work, and I’m pretty sure these two crackle together. Get on it!

Ooh having a deja vu right now! I've already said this recently..If Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae can have 3 projects together, so can these two.

Yes please I love this pairing a lot.

Damn, now only f KJH wasn't busy already...they had great chemistry together in level 7 civil servant...I've come to love Kim Ha Neul for her many movie roles (I'm just going to pretend the Korean You're My Pet doesn't exist) and I think that she shines best in comic roles...pretty much feel the same way about him except he has less dramas/movies that I love.....another actor I'd love to see with her again is Yoon Kye Sang

Joo Won... I know he is way younger but he is the one who could romance her just because she is hot and they have lots of things in common like.... 7th lvl civil servant
She was romanced in a train by Kang Dong won in Too beautiful to lie. KDW was a little green at that time but she was a riot.

I guess I have to watch her L7CS movie, because I have yet to see any sparks fly from her, at all. I was not impressed with her acting in either You're My Pet, Road No. 1 or AGD (I thought she was stiff and distant in the former and spastic, fearful, and shallow in the latter) so I would really, really like some recommendations as to where I can see her shine.

I've only seen You're My Pet and AGD from your list, but many other movies with her and my conclusion is that with such dreadful writing she couldn't do anything more. In her previous films she was a riot, she knows how to do comedy. I always go back to films like Level 7 civil servant and Too Beautiful to Lie when I'm pinged with melancholy.

See "Paradise" - excellent story with excellent acting.
"A Gentleman's Dignity" is also good, but more or less a comedy. "My Tutor, My Friend", "Too Beautiful To Lie". You won't be disappointed.

I've only seen her in A Gentleman's Dignity, and, while her character was a bit annoying at times, I did like her and think Kim Haneul is a great actress. I'll be looking forward to this.

Love her! Too Beautiful to Lie is still one of my favorite rom-coms ever. It would be really neat to see a drama adaptation.

I don't like it when actors/actresses work are in a lot of projects within a short period of time. I tend to forget their work and how good or bad they are. I prefer them working at a slow pace ,giving me time to identify them with a role, and getting to misa them too. For instance with Jang Geun Suk, or the girl in personal taste , orr Choi JI Woo, well many of them...

As much as you like the actors taking the time before they select their next projects, I am pretty sure that just like yourself they like to get paid. We all work for money... :)

Im one of her fans here in Philippines.. AGD became one of the best korean tv series that captured the attention of filipino viewers and gathered a highest ratings. Why not make a try to pair her back with Jang Dong Gun in the movie for sure their televison chemistry will surely still strong that can capture the movie goers who following the AGD series. If that AGD series was a big hit in your television here in korea and even in some asean counties where it was aired surely their fans will watch their movie. We, their Phillipine fans we will look a CD of their movie together.

after watching her in AGD in philippine top rated channel abs cbn i suddendly began to like her and craving to look whatever dvd movies her in Phil. I watched blind and my girlfriend is an agent. I found out she`s a versatile actress. She gained a lot of filipino fans tru her agd. Many filipinos television viewers of that said drama loved their team up with actor Jang Dong Gun. Why not pair her again this time in a movie. I agreed the comment of my co-filipina to why not pair her back with her love interest in that said drama Jang Dong Gun. Who knows this will become one of the highest top grosser movies 2013 here in korea even in some other countries cause both of them have their own fans now in asean countries. Iwill surely buy dvd to watched them back on a movie screen.
