Time-traveling Mi-rae’s Choice begins script rehearsals
by javabeans
The fun begins on Mi-rae’s Choice (aka Future Choice), which held its first script rehearsal with the main cast several days ago. This is the time-traveling show starring Yoon Eun-hye as the heroine whose future self (played by veteran actress Choi Myung-gil, 51) finds a way to travel back to try to get her younger self to choose differently.
In the present day storyline, Yoon Eun-hye plays a bright and confident writer at the broadcast station where our characters work, while her leading man Lee Dong-gun plays a broadcast announcer with a brusque demeanor. Normally I’d figure it’s the heroine who’ll get through his prickly armor to win his heart, except for the fact that Future Mi-rae (heh, Future Future) is here to warn Present Mi-rae not to marry him. While she’s at it, can she tell Mi-rae to get a different perm?
(My big struggle with this premise: Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes, growing as a person, and building character? How are we to believe this isn’t just a selfish misappropriation of the wormhole device? Okay, not like other wormhole narratives are drowning in selfless heroism, but at least in Dr. Jin and Faith the travelers had no say in their jumps, and in Queen In-hyun’s Man there were royal plots to uncover with big life-and-death stakes. In Nine the guy was trying to prevent deaths and exact revenge against big evils, and in Back to the Future our guy had to fix the stuff he himself messed up. So within this context, time-skipping to smooth over your personal regrets seems like the kind of thing Fate would kick you in the ass for. And fine, maybe Fate stories don’t coexist with Wormhole stories in this world, only this is a K-drama, so of course Fate has to be somewhere, biding her time. Just you wait. She’ll get you.)
Annnyway, back to the show. Jung Yong-hwa is the other male lead and he’ll be a gentle, charismatic sort who also happens to be playing undercover boss. Han Chae-ah completes the love rectangle as a reporter.
Mi-rae’s Choice will follow Good Doctor and premieres October 14.

I was very excited when I learned Han Chae Ah would be in this, as her performance was, for me, one of the few good things in All About My Romance. After that series I wanted to see her in something better, and I hope this will be.

Yeah she looks amazing. Seriously looking foward to her scenes with the guys. And since the second leads never wind up with the leads, I hope they give her character a decent love line with Yonghwa's.. Hoping it's something we don't have to wait until the last eps to see.

She looks pretty - but at first I thought it was Park Min Young (that's her name right? from City Hunter?). I guess it just goes to show how, when everyone goes getting the same plastic surgery, they start looking the same.

What the heck is up with most of these comments? It really doesn't look as bad as people are saying it does. Yeah, it's not the best look but seriously, she is beautiful enough that it shines through despite the hair. Also, to be completely honest, she probably looks better with that hair than a lot of us do glammed up. I can think of many other dramas where the protagonist started out as frumpy and then with self-realization came the makeover. It would be nice, however, in this instance, if the makeover was Mirae's choice and not because a man used his resources to transform her. I think that was the best part of Scent of a Woman - the protagonist changes herself because she wants it and not because she is being constructed into the expression of some sort of ideal femininity by a man.

THANKS JB
Don't worry ABOUT yoon eun hye'S HAIR !
I think this is a make believe character and definitely
there will be a drastic makeover in the future time travel
for mirae and most probably by epi. 8 she will look like
a princess !. They will definitely not make her look "ugly"
for too long , simple deduction- the scriptwriter is
following some excerpts from CINDERELLA (but without
step sisters). In the meantime they sought off follow
Nicole Kidman's hairdo the movie "far and away", but
the blonde color is too much, tone it down hairstylist !
don't exagerate too much to make it an issue.

Damn that perm. At least we know YEH isn't going the pretty route she's been following in all her dramas after coffee prince.

Oh my God what did they do to my girl?! And I thought the never ending bowl cuts were bad. Hopefully they'll fix that hair don't by the second week. Having serious "Full House 2" flashbacks. Please no perms for the guys either, they look great as is. I really hope this drama delivers. YEH is the queen of K-drama kiss scenes but it's hard to see her steaming things up when they have her looking like that. I'll forgive the PD if there's a really good kiss between her and Yonghwa (even if it's a dream sequence). Who knows when those two will be paired up in a drama again. Yonghwa would get a rare chance to learn from the best if he has a kiss scene with her.

Perm Hair (shivers to bad childhood memory of it for 2 years). I am glad she get rid of it as for this drama. I might just watch a few episodes to see if it is good.

I keep thinking it'll end just iike "Peggy Sue Got Married" with Mi-Rae picking the guy again. In stories like this the writers always go back to the status quo. It'll be hard to watch if I feel stuff isn't gonna change (well, maybe she'll see the good of her present situations yadda yadda.)
But i'll watch anyway. I'm a sucker for wormhole alternate reality time travel stories.

I will watch both this and Heirs to see which drama disappoints more. It's nice that they will be on at the same time so we can get over the pain quickly.

Her perm reminds me of my bad hair disaster at a beauty parlor years ago when they left the perm solution on too long. I looked like a poodle similar to YEH that I have never had a perm since. Totally embarrassed for months until it grew out and I cut off the mess. Hair became frizzy and broke off..
I hope YEH gets a makeover fast cuz the ahjumma hair is hideous! Can't wait to see her makeover... ;)

I didn't recognise the actress as Yoon In Hye until javabeans mentioned a perm and then I saw the second set of pictures.
Why would she do that to herself? She has beautiful hair, why ruin it? *sigh* maybe it'll look better as the drama progresses

What's with the hair K-dramaland? Seriously! I'm still burnt from Full House 2. And I like those actors that's why I stuck and finish out all the episodes. But they looked horrid! Why are you doing it again?
I hope YEH will only have to like this for just half an episode. But I feel bad for her. She must've been walking around with that hair for sometime now.

I always have problems with Korean actresses' hairstyles. Many of them have short hair or curly messy hair which made them so so so unattractive and looks like old ladies. I prefer they keep the normal hairstyle even it looks like others than do something looks different but ugly.

My first time watching LDG perform.. I am so excited already.... I hope YEH would put her best in this drama. Luv LDG, he soooo cute..

I think it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. It could be she's full of regret all grown up and wants her life to play out differently, be someone else. I think that's a relatable feeling. Maybe as she tries to change things in the past she gets reacquainted with all the characters including her leading guy in a different way, learns to appreciate them, and in the end makes the same decisions. It might end up being her choice to make vs trying to fight an inescapable future. I'd be interested to watch the first episode at least!
