Jung Jae-young and Han Ji-min start shooting Plan Man
by girlfriday
Aw, this rom-com is going to be adorable. Why is this not a drama, again? Jung Jae-young (I Am a Murderer) and Han Ji-min (Rooftop Prince) have started shooting their new movie Plan Man, a warm human comedy about a guy who plans life down to every last detail and can’t last one second or take one step without a blueprint in place. Naturally, as this is rom-com world, he meets a woman who is the exact opposite in every way, and lives her days never thinking of tomorrow.
I don’t know how they made Jung Jae-young look so normal (as in not his usual hot and/or badass self), but he totally looks the part of the fuddy-duddy germophobe, all buttoned-up stiffness like he walks through life on eggshells. He’s of course the titular Plan Man, who can’t deviate from his life plan without having a nervous breakdown, whose life gets turned upside-down when he meets the carefree heroine.
Han Ji-min’s character, on the other hand, is the lead vocalist of an indie rock band, and she lives her life in absolute spontaneity — equally extreme to be sure, but when have we ever encountered a rom-com pairing with a middle ground? She’s described as lovable and unpredictable, which is basically Plan Man’s kryptonite. I don’t know why, but the setup already has me in stitches. The idea of such a straitlaced hero with an indie rocker girl really appeals to me — I just love that she’s going to ruffle his feathers and drive him crazy and break all his carefully-laid plans. What’s life without a little rebellion, eh?
Plan Man is planning (hur) for a release early next year.

Funnily enough, Han Ji Min is also going to be the female lead for King's Wrath.

Forgot about that, thank you :). She can do sageuk but does she need to sing for this one or just pretend? I hope she can do better than the rooftop karaoke lol.

I have to say I like the sound of the movie thus far, but I do wonder how she's going to push him out of his comfort zone and into her carefree lifestyle [kind of like how Shin Min Ah did to Jo In Sung in the movie Madeleine].

You're so right that they made JJY look normal and boring. Like any old ahjussi in K-town. Wow.
Han Ji Min can do no wrong in my book. I love her. Glad to see her veering away from the good girl next door.

JJY is often cast as "normal" and "boring" as for the film "Wedding Campaign" w/ Soo Ae.

I'm not that surprise of Han Ji Min's look and choice of this role. I mean, she took the role of the seductive widow in "Detective K' which was different from her cute and innocent look in Kdramas. Love how she is taking a different approach in her roles.
And Jung Jae-young is still hot despite looking normal. Hahhaa.
The movie sounds promising and I will make sure to watch it next year. :)

This plot sounds very similiar to the Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston movie "Along Came Polly." Straight laced guy meet free spirted woman etc... There may be parts that deviate but the sceanario is very similar

What no one is going to say anything about their age gap like everyone comments on when a woman is older than a man? There is a 12 year age gape between Han Ji Min and Jung Jae Young? Everyone was commenting about Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk and there was only 8 year age gape between but she is older than him. It is not OK for a woman to be older than a man but OK for a much older man and a much young woman? Hummm, interesting?!?

It's because the concept of an older man dating a younger woman has been accepted in society for a long time, while an older woman dating a younger man still hasn't been embraced.
Han Ji Min is eight years older than me, but I would have no complaints dating her haha.

I totally agree with you. Double standards, fighting! ;)

It starts mattering less and less the older both parties are. Like, 12 years is a big difference between an 18-year-old and a 30-year-old. Between a 30-year-old and a 42-year-old, eh, not such a big deal IMO. I perhaps might raise my eyebrows if it were a 20-year difference, though. My rule of thumb is whether the older party is more than one-and-a-half times the younger party's age.

I really agree with you, the fact the age difference matters or not also depends on the age itself.
However, while it is true that it matters less in the 30-40 years old, I think people tend to forget that it matters more in the older years. That's why I think 12 years is a big difference anyway, and while it won't show at the beginning of the relationship, it will eventually show in the late years. But who cares? It's a drama here, to be honest I really don't care about age differences in drama unless the older party is, as you say, more than one-and-a-half times the younger party's age, coz, heck, he/she could be his/her parent.

Love JJY - one of the top actors in Korea.
Wasn't really feeling HJM's acting (it was OK) in RTP, much less her character (or the whole show after the beginning which focused on the Joseon Power Rangers), but absolutely loved her when she appeared on "Running Man."
The premise reminds me of "The Man/He Who Can't Marry" (at least for the guy's part), which btw, is an excellent romcom starring Ji Jin-hee as a really, really uptight architect who is perfectly happy following his strict schedule and ways of doing things and doesn't like to interact w/ people b/c they are "too messy."

Arghh why a lead member of an indie rockband of all things!? Could you not have a rebel from a different profession - one which doesn't entail "rock" as its personality trope! Having said that, the setup does sound entertaining; and I absolutely love HJM!

Jung Jae Yung is such a chameleon. He's full of talent and can go so far with his roles. If only the ''pretty'' boys had an ounce of his talent. (I'm talking to you SSH).
I love Han Ji Min too. It'll be refreshing to see her stray from her pure and innocent roles to a meatier crazy head type. Can't wait for these two to spark.

it's so funny to see jung jae young go from typical badass look to this bleah ahjussi and han ji min from her typical sweet & innocent look to this carefree breaks-the-rules kind of girl.
