Lee Jong-seok’s noona crush begins on I Hear Your Voice

Does this drama look cuter every time there are more teasers and stills, or is that just the Lee Jong-seok Effect? Maybe don’t answer that. I think I already know the answer. A new teaser for SBS’s upcoming fantasy romance drama I Hear Your Voice kicks off Lee Jong-seok’s noona crush on Lee Bo-young, which hey, was one more story tidbit than the last teaser gave. At this rate, by sometime next year we’ll know what to expect from this show.

The 16-episode drama from the writer of Dream High stars Lee Jong-seok as a super-powered high-schooler who can hear people’s thoughts. He’s a cold and distant sort of kid (sound familiar?) who keeps to himself, except when he gets into fights. Uh… when did Go Nam-soon get bitten by a radioactive spidermonkey, and why wasn’t I around to see it? Anyway, he has a connection to Lee Bo-young and feels the need to protect her, thus beginning his quiet guardian angel routine around her.

And meanwhile she’ll have a bickering relationship at work with Yoon Sang-hyun, an upright and idealistic public defender. The clip of the poster shoot below (which is just plain pretty to look at) plays up the love triangle quite a bit. It’s actually really cute, with Yoon Sang-hyun pouting, all, I’m here too! Look at me too! The thing is, it doesn’t feel like full-fledged love triangle, but more of a one-sided noona crush. We’ll see how they play it, but if bittersweet is the tone they’re going to strike, I can get onboard with that.

The drama is currently shooting with child actress Kim So-hyun (I Miss You) as the young Lee Bo-young, along with Mom Kim Hae-sook, and is gearing up for a June 5th premiere on SBS.

Don't worry, they won't (and it wouldn't make sense anyways).

Yoon Sang Hyun is the male lead.

Er...., I love this theme (the noona theme). So, yeah, I hope they are the ultimate OTP.

This might not be possible or even realistic in real life. Not only the woman might get arrested for seducing a minor (is he a minor btw?) but also the taboo for this kind of relationship. And the fact that it'll never work (not if the age difference is too huge).

But this is not a real life. It's a drama. I love my drama when things that could not happen in real life happens in it. Particularly if it's done beautifully and ended happily.

Perhaps loving Loveholic explains why I just love the synopsis and pray for this couple to be happening.

I agree, but that hand gesture in the last picture suggests they are going to pursue it some extent.

And not just a noona-crush (which the trailer seems to suggest), because in that last picture both are looking.

Honestly, I don't know what to think of it. That it's the Dream High writer doesn't give me all that much confidence – it could stick to clichés and stock characters, even if it might be charming. Let's hope charming / entertaining / intriguing enough so that the flaws can be overlooked (as was possible with Dream High).

From what I read elsewhere, I think they're just teasing the audience to snare curious viewers.

Kim Jae Won was originally going to do Yoon Sang Hyun's role and I don't think Kim Jae Won would have played second fiddle to Lee Jong Suk (or Yoon Sang Hyun for that matter).

You should see her in Thieves, if you haven't. She plays this pre-menopausal woman who has the hots for the con-artist recruited for the heist. She slimmed down real nice for the role, looked pretty foxy, n was funny as 'love' changed her fr a loud-mouthed 'bitxx' into a love-struck kitty.

I doubt anyone would think of her as her mom after that. ;)

Oh yes, I loved her "Chewing Gum" role in "The Thieves", tho the real sad part there was *spoilers* when she mused "I bought the wrong dream" (pertaining to Gianna Jun's Yenicall's dream about dying in a foreign country) before she died with her man, who died first.

Okay now seriously this plotline and casting are def NOT targetting middle-aged ladies. No woman in her right mind would pick a gayish boy over a ruggedly man for a serious relationship. Even not for "fun".

Lee Jong-seok is so so pretty (and I have to give it to him, he did really well in High Kick 3 and put it out of the park in School 2013) but it'll be a tough job for any other actor/actress to capture the magic that was him and Kim Woo-bin.

I was just saying on my Twitter that Lee Jongseok's stills and character description for IHYV were very much like Go Nam Soon. Just a different uniform and with superpower this time. LOL

Well whatever, I'm still excited for this and can't wait to see Lee Jongseok again. Now if only there's Kim Woo Bin too...

Ok don't laugh at me but I've always wondered why Korean male celebs like their school boy cuts so much (u know all that hair covering their faces), i mean even ahjussis in their 50s! Then I had my lightbulb moment the other day and realized its the whole 'small head' obsession thing so if half ur face is hidden by hair then
voila! small head illusion!

sooo.. he's a high schooler? I guess, that means no romance. Which is good. I just wish it isn't sad for LJS's character. A noona crush is ok but don't make it a full blown love triangle. I want another girl for LJS!

i really want to like this, but it seems a little all over the place. much of the material looks way too nice-ish, the teaser soundtrack choices feel very out of place to me.

the aquarium is a good choice, but they need alot more good symbolism in this one, and they need to decide on an overall tone. this has plot elements from a promising mystery legal suspense thriller, so where does this over-the-top melodrama feel come from...

Aww! Lee Jong Seok always gives me Jung Il woo vibes and now that he's playing a broody high school-er with fight scenes (again) and the one sided noona-crush he looks like another version of a character I adore: Lee Yoon -ho from High Kick the original version (played by Jung Il woo)

Hey, there is nothing wrong with her being attracted and even tempted. Some cute guy comes on to me, am I made out of stone? Am I Mido? (Sorry, sorta mean...)

But does she act on these feelings? OK, does she continue to act on these feelings after making a small mistake (Please show!)

I love that Oska is back with his crush.

There are a couple of scenes in the photoshoot clip where LJS looks like he's towering over his co-stars.. Like when the camera panned away at the aquarium and gave us a full shot. I was like, woah! He's sooo much taller than LBY & YSH! And that just changed the entire vibe for me, like, he appeared more powerful than before. Random piece of information, I know, but just sayin' :)

I'm anticipating this drama purely because of the actors but sadly the posters, the teasers, and the plot itself doesn't really appeal me... yet.

I really can't predict whether this will be a hit or a miss either because this seems pretty complicated LOL.

Man, with all the focus on Lee Jong-suk on this whole photo shoot and teasers, I swear he's the main lead instead. I wouldn't be surprise if they go all BIG (relationship wise, not drama quality) on us. What is with noona romance and high school student?

Oh my why do you have to be so cute Lee Jong-seok?! He may not be one of those handsomest actors but there's something about him that I couldn't point out but makes me even want him more.

Hope this drama will prove me wrong because it still hasn't piqued my interest despise all the pretty teasers. Will surely keep my eye on the first episode. :)

he's cute as in adorable. i don't think he's the handsomest actor too, but he's tackling my heart deeply when i watch school 2013. i was like a mother hen and really really really wish to call him oppa if not the fact that he was born a year younger than me *cries*.

he got this charm that whenever he smile make you want to smile too i guess. but somehow i think that i was rather in love with go nam soon rather than lee jong suk himself, lmao. but oh yeah, he also make me crave for more..

What's the point of making a noona line if you don't have the guts to follow through till the end.

And Nam Gun Soon deserves to get a noona! He's mature beyond his years.

I want Lee Jong Suk and the female lead to be together. The age difference is fine to me. After all, there are so many romances is dramaland with large age differences. So yes, PLEASE let Lee Jong Suk be the main male lead. :'(

Tired of noona relationships in dramaland, and also of noona actresses paired up with visibly much younger actors...
What's going on in SK btw? Are they afraid that all the eligible bachelors in their late twenties/early thirties are going to be lost in the war with NK, so they started to subliminally prepare the female population for this eventuality through the most popular medium - dramas?? roflmao

You can see an equally (if not more) prevalent trend of pairing older male actors with much younger actresses: Lee Jong-hyuk/Sooyoung; Song Seung-hun/Shin Se-kyung; IU/Jo Jung-suk, etc...And all of those pairings have a larger age gap than Lee Jong-suk does with Lee Bo-young, Choi Kang-hee with Joo Won, or Kim Tae-hee with Yoo Ah-in - the latter case has an even smaller age difference than the leads (Lee Seung-gi and Suzy) of Gu Family Book, another currently airing drama, but I've heard many more people gripe about the age difference in Jang Ok-jung...even though in THAT story having an age difference is historically accurate.

I'm just wondering why it only seems to be the noona relationships that bother you.

Love this kid...ever since i saw him in School. It takes a lot to make me believe an older woman could actually fall in love with a younger kid. But if it can be done believably, I'd go for the noona-obsession. I don't much like the title though: "I hear your voice" almost feels like a ghost story...or as if there is some kind of cosmic tie/bond or cosmic separation between our OTP. Which makes me feel she doesn't have a bond with the older hottie. Will see. Am psyched. Do i really have to wait a year?

I think LJS and the defense attorney should end up together. First of all, the same age scenario was tackled in BIG, and it was fine and lovely. I think that the writers can come back 2-3 years later and have them finally be age appropriate for a romance. LJS is too mature for the red-headed teeny bopper and just right for the prosecutor. LJS has always been the dominant/mature personality in the relationship. Remember, she cleaned up her house for him.

Lee Bo Young & Lee Jong-Seok. They cute together and they have a chemistry in their love team. And for those people always talking about age gap, They don't care about LBY age between LJS. Why? She still look more younger than LJS. AGE DOESN'T MATTER!!
