Lee Jong-hyuk drops by Master’s Sun to play So Ji-sub’s rival

javabeans: We’ve had quite a number of cameo appearances already in Master’s Sun, and for the most part they’ve been fine. Well-used, mostly, though I wouldn’t say they were anything to get excited about. Just familiar faces to have fun recognizing as day players, like Seo Hyo-rim (Scent of a Woman) as the fiancée-for-a-day, or Infinite’s L in the recurring flashbacks to So Ji-sub’s youth.

girlfriday: I think the only really funny one so far was the cameo from City Hunter’s Bad Daddy Kim Sang-joong, playing a thinly veiled version of himself.

javabeans: The Seo Hyo-rim one was funny in a meta sense, in that the scene was a parody of Empire of Gold, where she propositions So Ji-sub with a marriage to escape her own family. But mostly they’ve been played for emotion, like with Jung Chan (Yellow Boots) as the bereaved (lazy) pianist or Shut Up’s bassist Casanova Yoo Min-kyu as a rich brat ghost. And Jin Yi-han (Dr. Jin) as the soccer player, who was great as always.

girlfriday: But it turns out the best cameo is still to come, because Lee Jong-hyuk (Dating Agency Cyrano) is swinging by for a guest appearance. Yay!

javabeans: At first I figured, hey cool. And then I read the description and burst into a giggle fit: He’s playing the president of Giant Mall! Bwahaha. You know, that rival shopping center that’s building bigger and ostensibly better buildings than Kingdom, whose property So Ji-sub jealously regards every day through his gold telescope.

girlfriday: I freaking love that gold telescope. I totally thought we’d never meet Giant Mall’s CEO, because it seemed like a funnier running gag that way, or that he’d be appropriately tiny, yunno, because the giantness of Giant Mall would be compensating for something.

javabeans: Absent that admittedly awesome image, I love that the rival actually IS totally a rival. Who better to play an ego as big as Joong-won’s? Will they both fit into the same room? And whose turf do they meet on — Your place or mine?

girlfriday: It’s going to be so petty, and so so great.

javabeans: It’s icing on the cake to have the Kingdom chairman-president relationship mirrored over at Giant, with Lee Jong-hyuk as the prez and his father the chairman played by veteran actor Lee Jae-yong (Chun Bong in Mandate of Heaven, the shrewd eunuch of Jeon Woo-chi, and a bunch of other dramas like Tree with Deep Roots and Sungkyunkwan Scandal). Charisma overload.

girlfriday: And apparently our hero will have more to be jealous of than just the size (ahem) of the other guy’s building, because Gong-shil finds him dashing and charming, because uh, who wouldn’t?

javabeans: Muahahahaha. Joong-won’s jealousy was hilarious even when he was actively denying his feelings. Now that it’s all out in the open, this oughtta be fun.

girlfriday: That telescope’s gonna be working overtime this week.

This is great! I was wondering if the identity of Giant Mall's president would ever be revealed. I thought for some reason that it might be saved for the end.

I was actually hoping for Cha Seung Won. :( That'd be an even bigger War Of Pettiness, and lots of Best Love meta given the leading lady is the same.

But Lee Jong Hyuk is also awesome, of course. :D

OMG! This is gonna be EPIC! I cannot wait! I've loved Lee Jong-hyuk's acting ever since I first saw him cameo in Vampire Prosecutor! Then, I saw him in A Gentleman's Dignity, then Chuno, then Dating Agency Cyrano! Oh man, I've seen him in so many things, and he never fails to win my heart. I cannot wait to see how his character interacts with Joong-won! Two huge egos on the same screen, played by two amazing actors! How will I survive it?

Considering Lee Jong-hyuk is older than So Ji Sub - what I'd really like to see is BTS filming.

The Elder/Younger relationships in Korean life fascinate me.

Plus they're both playing Big Time CEOs --- the posturing would be awesome to watch. ;)

Woke up with this article and the recent one about Heirs. Gotta tell you that as much as I love LMH, I was more excited about this news so I read this first. Hah! Love LJH in DWAYG & DA:C. Was wondering who would cameo as Giant Mall's president, I actually wanted Dokko Jin to cameo or maybe that not-so-popular (snerk) lead guy from last year's Hong Sisters' drama-that-must-not-be-named, but I'm happy that it's Lee Jong-hyuk. Can't wait for tonight's episode!
