UEE offered weekend drama Gold Rainbow

The weekend family drama slot was good to UEE the first time around (with the heartwarming and sweet Ojakkyo Brothers), and she’s in talks to take on her second with the upcoming MBC series Gold Rainbow. According to her reps, she has received the offer and is looking at it favorably, although she would have to work out her overseas activities with pop group After School before deciding.

Gold Rainbow is the drama from the writer of May Queen, which will feature child star Kim Yoo-jung in what will be a considerable childhood portion. (Early news said roughly 10 episodes.) The drama centers around seven orphans who grow up as a family, with Kim Sang-joong countering his image as badass mofo ajusshi (City Hunter, The Chaser) to play the adoptive father. The role UEE is considering would be the eldest unni.

This description is giving me total flashbacks to Wish Upon a Star, the 2010 SBS drama about a family of adopted siblings led by a big sister (Choi Jung-won), whose characters were named after colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Navy, and Purple. Not that I think Gold Rainbow will be a direct copy of that, since May Queen was a lot more serious and staid than the light and funny Wish Upon a Star. I do hope for UEE’s sake that this drama allows her to play to her strengths, which are being cheery and charming, rather than dead-eyed and dull as in Jeon Woo-chi — which isn’t an indictment of her acting, since her character was literally sleepwalking through life and purposely dead-eyed. It just wasn’t very interesting to watch.

Gold Rainbow is planning for a mid-November premiere on MBC.

May Queen... no words can describe that drama. It's a shame the story was so absurd even though they had some great actors and actresses.

This is old picture somewhere in 2011-2012.

I love Uee in Ojakgyo Brothers. That's where I found her adorable and she got a good acting chop too.

Rumours said about the lead guy will be Jung Il-woo.. WOOO!

I would like to see her act more. She's good at it.

LOL all of your comments made me Laugh.
Come to think of it, it certainly does resemble
a mop.
SO the coat is a mop and her hair are a total mess. :)

Apart from all that she still looks great.

As for who would wear such an expensive looking mop. Well the answer should be obvious. DIE HARD Fans (no I am not talking about the movie Die Hard though) :)

You know how some fans are if a celebrity has a certain item or dresses in some certain clothes then they to just have to have it. Good luck fans.

To each their own. :)
That is one of my motto's. :)

Me too... especially since he's playing the adoptive father. Love him, and I'm partial to gruff-looking guys with big hearts, so I'll have to check this out. I'm a bit worried though because not too many Beanies liked May Queen.

Btw her surname in OB and Golden Rainbow is Baek. in ojakgyo brothers her name is Baek Ja-eun,meanwhile in golden rainbow her name is Baek won. LOL. If Jung il-woo will be her romance pairing, it makes me remember that jung il-woo replaced joo won in moon embraces sun. I feel somewhat connected in here. Double LOL

What I admire the most about UEE when it comes to her acting career is that she is versatile. She isn't afraid to take on evil roles even though she may get hated later on (I still remember the You Are Beautiful days when people used to say "I hate her because of YAB" it's soooo stupid to hate on the actress because of character but whatever, I'm disgressing --')

I didn't enjoy Ojakkyo Brothers and it's such a shame because everyone seems to say it was good. It just reminded me so much of some dramas and the whole "big family vs her all alone" was so hard to swallow. But I did like the chemistry between her and Joo Won. They were cute.

Yay!!! I loved her in OB, she was very charming. I'm just hoping this isn't going to be makjang central, but knowing MBC it probably will be.

Uee in a new drama. Rejoice!

Really really love her in Ojak Brothers but not so much in Jeonwoochi. Hee.

Sometimes I feel that she did not get enough recognition for her acting because of her 'sexy image' with her group After School. But I love it when she won the best new actress for her role in Ojak Brothers during the 2011 Baeksang Awards. She deserve it. It's a good drama and she shows a wide range of her acting skills.

People tends to give much attention on e.g. Suzy or Yoona. I love these two girls too... Suzy and Yoona and IU and also the girl from A-Pink. They got the talent and not just some pretty face with zero acting skill.

Good luck to Uee. I hope she will do this.

Wait. Jung Il-woo for the male lead?! Good pairing, will they kiss a lot? As this is weekend family oriented drama, I doubt we will have this excessive kissing scenes etc. Hee hee.

hah I read a rumor Jung Il Woo made the staff of his last drama plus acting co star a bit flustered because he seems to enjoy too much his kissing scenes when it isnt asked for/needes. I was wondering if it was why he isn't being casted or something.

Joo won won't like it lololol

Yay! I love Uee! Well, her acting anyway. I'm not familiar with her idol group, After School. But I hope she does sign on to this drama, because she's adorable, and I just love her so much! And I can't wait to see Kim Sang-joong in this as something than his normal scary, badass characters.

Yay, always enjoyed her performance in dramas.

She's a snooze in Barefoot Friends - Nice, hardworking but ultimately boring personality. When Lee Hyori and aPink's Eunji came on the show as guests, they had so much more chemistry with Kang Ho Dong.

Lol

True, she is a snooze fest in BFF - her hair always looks like a hank of dried out hay, she wears shapeless clothing w/short shorts and she's silent 90% of the time (unless she's empathy crying).

She's an actress/dancer (not singer because she really can't carry a tune) who shows more personality while playing a part than she does in real life. I like her better as an actress.

And why Yoo-jung will be around only for 10eps. She can be the 3rd-4th daughter, can't she?

i was thinking why you're not harping on the title till I saw your article last july 16 on Yoo-jung =)

I also thought that Rainbows should never be called golden as rainbows comprises of certain colors that cannot be changed. If it becomes gold, it should be called arches of gold, shouldn't it? why not just look for that gold at the end of the rainbow instead =)

UEE, please don't accept offer for weekend drama from MBC. Their weekend family theme drama theme s**ks. Especially their scriptwriting. Even it looks promising at the starts of the series, it will go downhill after that. MBC or SBS just can't beat KBS weekend family oriented drama.
