Cameras roll on the set of Fated To Love You
by girlfriday
Here’s our first peek at Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara’s big dramaland reunion in the summer rom-com Fated to Love You. The new MBC drama began shooting the leads’ first scenes, featuring Jang Nara as the lowly office grunt who gets the morning coffee, and Jang Hyuk as the posh chaebol who wears sunglasses indoors, because he’s too rich for manners. Also, when the heck did his hair get that long and floppy? It’s a little silly looking, but then again it’s alllllmost long enough to get me dreaming about his Chuno hair. Mmmm…
The remake of the hit 2008 Taiwanese drama stars Jang Nara as an office temp from a small island village who has no skills, degrees, or looks to get her anywhere in the world. One day she wins a trip to Macau, and that free vacation changes her life entirely when an accidental one-night stand with a chaebol heir gets her pregnant, which means she has to marry him. Has to or gets to is entirely open to interpretation, I suppose, though chaebol families always sound scary to me.
In any case she ends up married to this almost-stranger, and the drama will be about them getting to know each other after the fact, and also fighting off second lead romantic rivals. That’d be Choi Jin-hyuk (Emergency Couple) as the Daddy Long Legs who always comes to Jang Nara’s rescue, and Wang Ji-won (I Need Romance 3) as the star ballerina who was engaged to Jang Hyuk before he up and married another girl. Crossing my fingers for some classic rom-com fun!
Fated to Love You premieres in July following A New Leaf.

Jang Hyuk being a flower boy...just doesn't fit into my mind. He is good at playing complicated characters. Hopefully, with this cast the drama will be worth watching.

He was awesome in comic roles before he took on broody action ones. Their earlier drama together eons ago was hilarious "Story of a Bright Girl". I'll forever remember that classic scene where he fell from the sky and into her bath tub while she was outdoors. Or was she the one that ended up in the bathtub???

My first Jang Hyuk experience is Volcano High. Not very many actors can be goofy and sexy at the same damned time. I've seen almost everything he's ever done so...I'm fangirling a bit sorry....

MariD: You should watch the org. kdrama “Successful Story of a Bright Girl”
Played by Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara. The Twdrama ““Sunshine Angel” with Rainy and Wu was not all that great. It’s about time they gave Hyuk and Nara or the double JANG this reunion. I hope Kdrama remake of “FTLY” doesn’t flop because Twdrama “FTLY” was worth my time watching. Love the chemistry between Ethan and Chen.

I disagree because he has good comedic acting skills. This is a rom-com. I have faith in his ability to do comedy. He could make the flower boy routine pretty hilarious.

I read that Jang Nara picked out every detail of her 'sticky note' look, she acually wear glasses in her day to day life though, wonder if she gets to skip on wearing contacts for this drama, though then again she has as one of her endless list of endorsements one for contact lens so maybe not. Jang Hyuk, will that top photo I at once thought of a used car salesman a slightly greasy look but the others ones made him look better.
I do wish folk here understand understood him more and stop complaining he not suited for a comdey roles, heck that why he been wanting to do a role like this for so long after all those actionman roles, to prove he is an actor who can act any role he puts his mind to

Jang Hyuk is one of my favorite Korean actors. I think he's hot with long hair, or not. I think it's been a while since he's done a rom com. He's a versatile actor and can do comedy. Rom-coms have been good this year. I hope this one does the same.

wow you where on one of the sub teams for the original show
thankyou!! my mandarin sucks xie xie ni!
i really enjoyed the original so i wonder if theyre going to change one specific aspect of the series or proceed with a scene for scene remake what do you think?
the scenes where the male lead met chen xin yi's family
ie :mother and sister where hilarious lmao!!
2nd leads are specifically designed to fill the supportive role while the lead is a total ahole in order to establish a contrast for the "characters development' by the end of the series
in the original chen xin yi develops so does the male lead

GF--what are u talking about!? I love the hair. It's so bad, it's good! In fact, it's so badly done well that it wouldn't even make it in the mane of shame. He totally pulls it off but I think that has to do with him committing to it, sort of like Led MinHo in BoF. He totally rocked it & then inspired Oskar in SG--which made me totally d.i.e.
Anyway, Jang NaRa looks adorable and is totally giving her usual baby face in the stills. I'm excited to see this one!

his dressing including and the girl too, they have no
fashion sense - telling us their character .
Jang hyuk hairstyle ROCKS !.
Why need to wear sunglasses indoor - comedic ?.
