Lee Jong-seok and Park Bo-young start shooting Hot Blooded Youth

Okay, I’ve figured it out. Lee Jong-seok has cloned himself. There’s just no other way to do so many projects in such a short amount of time. So out there, running about, is a Face-reading Jong-seok, a Swimming Jong-seok, a Voice-hearing Jong-seok, and of course, everyone’s perennial favorite, Woo-bin-loving Jong-seok (you have to have a separate one for that). It’s the only sane explanation.

Add to the list Hot Blooded Jong-seok, set to romance Park Bo-young in the throwback ’80s teen movie Hot Blooded Youth. I’m really looking forward to this pairing, which is too adorable for words, and the setup sounds a lot like the fantastic teen period film Sunny. This one will have more of a focus on romance, that’s “as hot as the blood that runs in youth.” Directing is Lee Yeon-woo of Running Turtle.

Park Bo-young stars in her most unexpected role to date as the school jjang, a tough gangster girl who rules the school the old-fashioned way — with an iron fist. I love it. She’s so wee, but I can totally see her pulling off a badass mean girl. Lee Jong-seok, meanwhile, plays the legendary Casanova of the school, who “slays the girls with one look, and one breath.” I hope she flattens that ego with gusto. It sounds like an Answer Me 1997 dynamic, but with more swagger and badassery.

Lee Se-young (I Miss You) plays a transfer student from Seoul, who will be the iconic first love of every boy in the school — you know, the beautiful, innocent, ethereal girl who wears white dresses and melts boys’ hearts. Kim Young-kwang (Good Doctor) rounds out the cast as the boys’ jjang, an actual gangster-gangster beyond the confines of school. He’ll have a wild impetuous nature, and his character will be used to explore the law of the jungle that ruled the day.

Hot Blooded Youth is shooting now for a release next year. Can’t wait.

also, does anyone else feel a bit weird finding this guys romancing someone in a drama so soon afteR IHYV ended? that magic hasnt shed off yet. please have some decency...well, I suppose it is wrong to ask that if his character is described as a Casanova. Then I get why it is so soon.... straight into character...

I would think that it would be expensive since they haven't exactly figured out how to clone males 100% yet. Females, yes. And you would have to replicate how the original was raised. Plus you might have the makjang identity crisis if your clone figures out it is a clone, which means you'd have to hide the clone from the damage of K-dramas.

In addition, we would need tissue samples from the original, which has to be extra money, but because of privacy laws in Korea, it might have to be done black market.

Given that, the price might be high. A few hundred million?

We also offer Joe Cheng clones. But that's cheaper currently due to the availability of genetic material.

hahaha. i was totally about to say the exact same thing and was skimming the comments to see if anyone else had commented. mind you, i haven't really been following her and the last movie i saw her in the Speed Scandal. She either lost weight or did something to her face. Or maybe its just that she is now 23 and finally lost her baby face and is looking her age. i'm not saying that she looks bad or good, but i just that i almost didn't recognize her.

I'm surprised how good he looks. I wonder if he even "realizes" what's happening to him and his popularity. I mean it's obvious he's busy, but I wonder if it's hit him yet. CJH was saying that it's still surreal for him, his fame.

I was already re-watching IHYV's earlier episodes weekly while the drama was still airing. However, once it ended, for some reason, I haven't wanted to re-visit the final pair of episodes. My way of mourning the end of the drama, I guess. It's like as long as I haven't taken that last step, the drama hasn't really ended. I know, serious case of denial here. -_-"

As for this movie, really stoked about it! Also looking forward to his other upcoming movie — No Breathing.

As for the face-reading one, it's kinda more of an ensemble cast, isn't it? Doubt Lee Jong Seok will have as much screentime as in the abovementioned two. Then again, limited screentime is still better than nothing. What's more, Jo Jung Seok in it too.

That was what happened during my first round of IHYV watching.

Now that I'm sort of re-watching it a second time round, I haven't got down (don't want to, in fact) to watching 17-18 now that I'm done with 16. So yay, double the heartbreak for me too :(

I don't think I will watch his movies though, except for The Face Reader cos' I really like the male lead in it. I WOULD, however, watch a drama with LBY and him in it, doesn't matter whether they be playing partners or siblings or in-laws or colleagues.

Oh wells, Master's Sun, anyone?

@Celery

Ikr. I still have no urge to start on any of the new dramas yet. Like I said on Twitter, will get my ass moving next week on securing a drama distraction, hoping at least one of the 4 newly premiered ones would be enough to do the job.

This week is solely dedicated to IHYV. :D

@RWJQ

At least you have four options D: I'm putting all my eggs in one MS basket. I would try Who Are You if the cast appealed to me since I like procedural crime type series.

Good Doctor - nah, not my cup of tea at all :( What's the last one?

Anyway, the cast's in Phuket for their vacation now, wheee!

0

@Celery

I'm open to all 4 shows because none of them, based on their promo materials, has really gripped me like, Omg, I really need to catch this!

Admittedly, I'm leaning more towards Master's Sun but I suspect that's due to residual love for Greatest Love than the sisters per se, since I still can't get the horror of Big out of my head. ;)

I'm not a fan of medical dramas, but am willing to have a go at Good Doctor for Joo Won.

On that note, coincidentally, all 4 shows have leads I like and not:

Two Weeks: yes to Lee Jun Ki, no to Park Ha Sun

Good Doctor: yes to Joo Won, no to Moon Chae Won

Who Are You: yes to Kim Jae Wook, no to So Yi Hyun and Taecyeon.

Overall feel, ambivalence.

Yeah, saw a few photos of LBY, JWI, YSH and LDH at the airport leaving for Phuket. Hope someone, maybe the staff, will post more pics of them having fun there. :)

Lee Jong Seok, on the other hand, is hard at work filming No Breathing in Davao, Philippines.

Oh I left out Master's Sun: yes to Gong Hyo Jin but no to So Ji Sub. ;)

@RWJQ

Omg, and here I'm, thinking that I'm the only one resilient to SJS's charm. (To be fair, I'm not physically attracted to LJS either, but he's pretty adorkable IRL.)

CSW > SJS, ftw. A pity about his son's recent scandal though, hope the truth surfaces soon.

0

@Celery

Hee, you have me for company then. ;)

I tried catching Ghost last year. SJS just ... didn't quite do it for me. Not enough to make me hang on to the show. He's just not my cup of tea.

LJS ... I am not physically attracted to him either. I just find him very very adorable. Like a cute little puppy. I'm not about to start laying claims on him and calling him mine.

That said, he's impressed me so much in School2013 and IHYV that he's now on my list of actors whose projects I'd defo keep an eye out for.

CSW, on the other hand ... is completely another kettle of fish. HE IS HOT. ;)

He, Jung Woo Sung and Gong Yoo are the 3 actors whose dramas (even if they stink to high heaven) I'd gladly sit through just so I could feast my eyes on them. And you know the drama's sucktitude, if there's any, will be through no fault of theirs.

I read about the scandal involving CSW's son. Guess it'll be some time before we see CSW back in dramaland. :(

@RWJQ

I'm pretty much stalking this thread just to reply you, lol.

I'm relatively new to KEnt but so far, I have my eye on CSW, JWS (the hot boys) and Song Kang-ho, Ha Jung-Woo (the not so hot boys). I still wouldn't sacrifice my time for a sucky series or movie even with them in it BUT I would be more partial to their works.

Gong Yoo seems to be pretty popular based on what I have seen thus far but strangely, I have yet to catch anything with him in it.

LJS... I think I need him to shed his pretty/flower high school boy image before I can take him seriously. And I do want to because I think he's quite talented.

OH speaking of School 2013 (and by natural extension, piqued interest in KWB), I'm actually watching White Christmas now and woah, KWB. WOAH. Maybe I will get down to watching School 2013 soon :P

0

@Celery

I know! It's turned into our little chat room! I sped-scrolled down the main page to this post just to check the comment number ... Oooh, 109, she's replied! .... and here I am. :D

Song Kang Ho and Ha Jung Woo: two talented actors with many critically acclaimed projects under their belts. Unfortunately, I've yet to catch any of their works. I need to make time for more K-movies. So far, my little K-ent world has been constrained to only K-dramas. :(

I used to watch way more KDramas than I do now. Indiscriminately and with a huge tolerance for crappy ones too. Over the years, I have learnt to be more discerning, or maybe it's just my patience wearing thin, and now I drop the shows if they can't hook me by the 4th episode, even with cast I like in them. Same will go for the 4 new shows mentioned above.

I loved Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince. That love made me sit through the horrible Big. And of course, Athena, for JWS and CSW. I dunno if I'll continue to put up with shit just for them. Worse comes to worst, I still have the FF button to save my sanity. ;)

I want LJS to take on darker roles in his future works, something with maybe a gritty image. Was rather disappointed to read that he'd be reprising yet another high-school role in IHYV. (But am glad I didn't give the show a pass because of that.) Boiling Youth and No Breathing come with a high school premise too, right? Guess I'll have a while to wait then.

KWB ... my sole reason to catch School 2013 was for him!! I saw him in A Gentleman's Dignity and he impressed me, even with his limited screen time. How is White Christmas? Good?

@RWJQ

Teehee (in a non-creepy way).

I actually sort of got more involved with Korean movies because the lawverse in IHYV left me scratching my head in disbelief.

SKH bowled me over in Memories of Murder and HJW in Chaser. They have utterly raised the bar for what I would consider good acting (and you know, the acting in k-dramas can get a lil uneven for many many reasons).

I probably have completed under... eight series? LOL, dropped about eight as well? But I do have a cursory knowledge of the industry on the whole due to my mom's K-Ent fanaticism. Though I gotta admit, TGL (and IHYV) revved my interest in k-dramas and showed me that there's more to them than makjang, melo sob stories and ridiculous plotholes.

White Christmas is really good and riveting as of ep. 5 - starts off slow but kicks off at around ep 3. Now, I don't usually like high school dramas but throw in a Lord of the Flies premise in the midst, and I'll Be There (lol). It's a psychological thriller of sorts, which means heavy characterization and tons of monologue - not sure whether it's your cup of tea - but the script is awfully good and it helps to buoy the raw acting. Also, it feels like a long-ass play with its stark lighting and theatrical sets.

I <3 KWB's character in the series - he's sort of a free-spirited agent of chaos from what I have seen so far (ep 5). There's not a whole lot of him BUT I would say, pretty impressive acting for his first TV series. I'm rather blown away by HJH's (I know nothing of him, 'xcept that he's a model friend of KWB and LJS) subtle nuances for his character and I would say he's the best actor of the lot in the series.

Speaking of Big, the main lead in WXmas was in it as well and hmm, he's relatively cute and all that but I don't think he can act that well? I see a lot of action going on with the upper part of his face but his mouth is perpetually frozen.

(PS - I'm missing LBY/HS very much. MS is just not really doing it for me at the mo.)

@Celery

The law aspect in IHYV raised many questions in my head initially, then I decided to just suspend my disbelief on it. Suspension of disbelief — a practice that MUST be employed when watching Kdramas, if enjoyment is desired.

Memories of Murder and Chaser have been added to my To-watch list, though I'm not sure when I'd get around to watching them. I'm ashamed to admit that the said list is looooong .... and getting longer, yet I'm not doing anything actively to rectify it. ;)

Oh, the truckloads of ridiculous makjang dramas with gaping plot holes and asinine characters I sat through before I learned the art of early checkout. Too embarrassed to list them here. In short, better late than never. Hee.

You've got me intrigued on White Christmas. Just googled it and pleasantly surprised to see it's only 8 episodes. Good. Manageable. I'll try to catch it if the new dramas tank in my eye.

I guffawed at your "I'll Be There". ;)

By HJH, did you mean Hong Jung Hyun? Omg, he's the only gem I picked up from the recently wrapped-up Dating Agency: Cyrano!! Never saw him before this drama but he got my attention. He looks promising.

I had to go through the cast list of White Christmas one by one to come to Baek Sung Hyun to realize he was the one you meant in Big. He had a small supporting role in Big, as the female lead's younger brother. I wouldn't call his acting bad. He's just .... serviceable. I need to see him in WC to gauge and compare.

I miss HS and the whole cast too. Just rewatched (for the umpteenth time) Ep 3 of IHYV. Pathetic, huh? I know. :(

@RWJQ

OOO, Memories of Murder is really good (coincidentally, one of the main leads is also in WXmas, I guess he really like crime/thrillers?). So is Mother - both films have made me a big fan of the director, so all his movies are now on my to-watch list, esp. Snowpiercer.

Oh, and there's Arcade Fire in WXmas - indie music in k-dramas, wow. Practically life-changing.

Yes, that HJH :D His character is sort of a wallflower and definitely not my favorite, but he's without a doubt the best out of the young actors in WXmas IMO. I get the vibe that he's the sort of underrated young actor who will probably never get too famous? (Dude looks 28, not 23 though.)

Oops, BSH, ahaha. I take my word back about him being the main lead (because honestly, every character gets their screen-time and fleshed-out backstory) but he definitely has slightly more scenes than the rest because, without spoiling anything, he's the straight man in the show. Maybe he's more cut out for comedy cos' man, his awkward and stiff acting... He should have switched roles with HJH.

Coincidentally, I just found out that the other dude (KWK) in Hot Blooded Youth also acted in WXmas. Was a real tool of a character in it and I suspect he will recycle some of that attitude for the movie because it sounds quite like the one he played in the series.

LAWYER SHIN AND YOO CHAN :( ARE you re-watching it again?! I'm stalking its soompi thread and other sources for news on the cast but that's about it; it's too freshly imprinted in my mind for me to enjoy another re-watch. I'm watching WXmas (ep 5), still sampling MS (ep 2) and WAYou (ep 2) but will probably drop the latter though.

0

@Celery

Okay, now I feel a pressing need to go look for all Bong Joon Ho's films and cover as many of them as possible this weekend, though I know it's impossible as I've lots scheduled for the next two days. :(

Have come across lots of news on Snowpiercer these few days online. Especially on its record-breaking success at the Korean theatres. Naturally, I'm intrigued and it's on my to-watch list too. Chances are I might get to that first, before any of his older films.

I had to google Arcade Fire. Am totally not familiar with the indie music industry. :( So, WC used a track of theirs? If I do catch the series, will keep a lookout for it.

As for HJH probably not attaining more fame, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Nowadays, anything is possible. Look at Lee Jong Seok (feel like I need to mention him at least once, to justify us still having exchange on this thread. ;) ), I'd never have thought 3 years ago when I saw him in Secret Garden that he'd be where he is now.

All it takes is LUCK which in this industry translates to the right script and the right role at the right timing, and voilà, you've got it made. To be fair, I think LJS is talented and I'm sure he's been working hard, but look at stars (I don't even wanna acknowledge them as actors) like Song Seung Heon, Kim Tae Hee, Suzy, and Bae Yong Joon ... etc, who cannot act to save their lives, and yet rolling in wealth and fame.

If HJH continues to work on honing his craft, then I hope for his sake that he'll get a fair chance and attain whatever level of fame that's at least proportional to his commitment and efforts.

Looking at the young cast list, WC seems a vehicle to showcase the new faces then. You have guys like Lee Soo Hyuk, Sung Joon, and Kim Woo Bin who were rookies then. I'll manage my expectations in the acting department when I catch it. :)

I'm not rewatching the whole of IHYV from the beginning. Just random eps for random scenes on the random occasions when I feel like some Soo Ha + Hye Sung moments. I'm not catching any of the new shows yet, so this is how I get my Kdrama fix. Win-win. ;)

I give Soompi a wide berth because of the fanatics there. One wrong word or anything against their opinion, you get vitriol spewed all over you. I'd rather get my news from other Kpop sites and Twitter.

I have not read any recaps of the new shows. Don't wanna get spoilt, but judging from the sentiments I've gathered from the quick scroll here on DB and Twitter, seems MS is turning out to be a letdown, while Two Weeks is gaining praises, despite losing out in the domestic ratings race. I might give Two Weeks a go first, since I prefer Lee Jun Ki to So Ji Sub. :)

@RWJQ:

Ooo, I thought KWB did pretty good in WC. His character's so loveable there. LSH... hmm, I love his voice, lol. I don't find him hot but I just can't help staring at him whenever he pops up on screen cos' of how otherworldly he looks.

Oh, I don't mean it in a bad way. HJH can definitely be lead male material right now but I feel like he's deliberately taking a different trajectory when it comes to acting - I mean, as an actor, sometimes the lead roles aren't as... challenging as the supporting roles?

Having taken a look at his filmography, his choices have been extremely diverse, varied and challenging, despite their inaccessibility. LJS (and to a smaller extent, KWB) have stuck to more accessible roles, which is smart on his part because that's fulfils the vision he has for his career. Hmm, take of it as Ed Norton vs Tom Cruise. Oh and he sort of reminds me of KJW in terms of their "reluctance" to conform to male lead roles.

I guess "under the radar" would have been a more applicable description than "underrated" (though I think they come hand-in-hand sometimes).

The only small complaint I have is... why the eff is he only 23?! Can't he look like 28 AND be 28? :( I very much prefer liking older men, tqvm!

0

@Celery,

Lee Soo Hyuk is one guy who I have trouble placing his looks in a category. He's androgynous to an extent .... and yet not. Think your descriptor of "otherworldly" is more apt than mine. Ha. Yeah, very arresting face. I couldn't take my eyes off him whenever he came on on those rare occasions when I channel-flipped to Shark.

I haven't had time to check out the filmography of HJH yet, tho I'd be keen to check them out, that is, if time were on my side. As you know, I'm not very familiar with the K-movie scene. :(

Your example of Ed Norton vs Tom Cruise sheds lots of light though. If that's the direction HJH wants to go for his acting career, then I've got more respect for him. Not that taking on mainstream roles is bad, but actors who are willing to go further for roles that push their limits and stretch their abilities deserve my admiration.

I'm with you re his age. I often wish there were more actors in their late 20s and early 30s whom I could lub and *stare and drool* at, without feeling um .... a mite squicky? :D

Seeing how this thread is (naturally) heading down the path of obscurity, I guess we'd better call a stop here, or we'd have to keep calling forth old pages just to get back here. It's been a pleasure chatting with you. I have enjoyed our exchange very very much. :)

We should catch each other on OT. I kept away from this week's cuz I hadn't seen the new shows yet and didn't wanna get spoiled. Or if you are on Twitter, you can catch me by the same handle, RWJQ, too. :)

P.S. I just caught up with Master's Sun. It's not doing it yet for me either. Hope next week's episodes will be better, or I'll have to bin it.

'woo bin - loving jong seok'. girlfriday you are jjang! my withdrawal syndrome with ihyv is as chronic as when sega ended. i end up watching high kick for him when usually anything over 50 eps never gets me interested. so looking forward to all of his projects. kim soo hyun and song joong ki owned 2012, lee jong seok deserves to be the it boy for 2013. park bo young is a good actress in my opinion so this pairing would surely work. can't wait!

I had to read the name twice because I read Lee Bo Young at first, I just miss them already. OTP IS OTP! I just hope he won't wear himself out because he's been working nonstop.

My favorite actor Lee Jong Suk is EVERYWHERE!... A news article called him the "hottest star on business" today... Sniff sniff - happiest fangirl

Out of all his three upcoming movie projects "The Face Reader", "No Breathing" and this one, I think I am more excited for "Hot Blooded Youth" because of the plot :)

Still missing "I Hear Your Voice." Really thankful for that drama since it introduced me to Lee Jong Suk.

Aww she is so tiny! She's a small fist of fury. Loving it. It would be hilarious if her mom is just like her. I want another Mom/Daughter relationship.

I hope that he doesn't end up over-working himself trying to get new projects. Stay healthy!

Excited ! For the setup and the cast. Would there be romance as well with the boys' jjang and the ethereal girl ? *swoon*

Oh, Woo-bin-loving Jong-seok is the best of them all ! :D

yeah, I'm loving the sound of all the characters, even the floaty ethereal first love (who I hope will not be such a drag, since I really like the actress playing her)

As much as I am looking forward to this movie, isn't this his 3rd school student role?

Don't get me wrong, i like LJS and his many clones... but wish he'd get other roles.

Just feels a bit "pervy" to like a school boy so much - even though he is in his 20s in real life.

:D

LJS reminds of my Hubby Joo Won- Both love doing extreme ageyo, explore tear-jerking roles, do lots of CF, have chemistry with almost all of the people they work with, make the atmosphere lively and fun and both NEVER REST! ^^ Can't wait, I love dramas like this (where the couple butts heads! )

Lee Jong Seok sure has a lot of projects to juggle with but nevertheless I can't wait for this movie to be released!! It does have a Reply 1997 vibe to it which makes me look forward to watching it even more.

The tentative date is end of the year (Oct-Nov), though releasing a swimming movie in the winter seems kind of weird XD

Also, I revisited School 2013 as part of my IHYV-withdrawal, but even as the biggest OTP-shipper ever, I have to admit it - he and LBY have NOTHING on him and Woo-bin. Though the S2013 on-set nickname of 'chemi-angel' for our puppy because of his habit of having great chemistry with literally everyone he worked with, male or female, is well-earned :)

I really like the sound of this latest movie of his -the thought of this cast gives me shivers, because there is something for every one of us - puppy LJS, MEGA-HOTTIE Kim Young-kwang, and two adorable female leads whom I've pretty much fallen in love with in their last projects.
