Yoo Yeon-seok tempts Im Soo-jung with the Perfect Proposal

I don’t know why it always trips me up to see Yoo Yeon-seok as a dark character, since that’s pretty much the type he always plays in movies. It’s just that Answer Me 1994 and Youths Over Flowers left such a strong impression that the sadistic bad guy characters feel like such a departure now. And with the new Hong sisters rom-com Warm and Cozy on the way, it’s going to be extra jarring to see him play a manipulative con man in his new movie Perfect Proposal.

The literal title is Secret Temptation, and it’s a romance thriller about a woman who accepts an indecent proposal and gets in over her head in a dangerous power game. Im Soo-jung (All About My Wife) stars as an average woman who gets betrayed by a trusted friend and ends up chased by loan sharks and desperate for money. Yoo Yeon-seok plays a secretary for a Macau casino group, who tempts her with an offer to change her life.

But the indecent proposal isn’t for him, necessarily — he offers to turn her into a Cinderella, all so that she can seduce the group’s chairman (Lee Kyung-young) and inherit a fortune. In the teaser, he tells her that he can make her the richest woman in Macau, and all he asks for in exchange is half of her fortune. Things get complicated when they start getting involved romantically, which becomes harder and harder to hide. But he warns her that they’re playing a game, just with an enormous sum of money at stake.

The movie’s tagline is: “Cinderellas aren’t made by magic, but by carefully-laid plans.” I have no doubt that all of his elaborate planning will go to hell, but that’s the (tense, nail-biting) fun. Is it wrong if I’m already rooting for Im Soo-jung to con both men out of their riches and walk away her own fairy godmother? Well, not before she takes full advantage of Yoo Yeon-seok’s advances, that is. Hey, this is what we call a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too situation. Nom nom.

Perfect Proposal hits theaters June 4.

I would take any kind of proposal from him: decent, indecent, or hopefully, a little of both.

Im Soo-jung's character feels like a bad-ass candy - if that's even a thing. YYS just makes me drool, and the whole thing looks great. Excited!

Personally I find YYS's bad guys more worth noting compared to his 94 character. Well, some not all. This will definitely be one of them. Luckily the teasers seem more fast-paced than I thought it would be from the first descriptions. Between our leads (esp Im soo-jung!) and the supporting cast, which is above solid, we should be in good hands. Hope it delivers.

Why is this not a drama? This sounds like it would be a great drama. On OCN. Get those thriller/romance loving ahjumma ratings.

But, anyway looks and sounds good. I want to watch this.

I always hate him in his movies. "A Werewolf Boy" was the worst; I wanted Joong Ki to claw him to death. "Architecture 101" was no better; damn him for making Lee Je Hoon cry.

YYS's very 1st role was as the younger version of the baddie (played by Yoo Ji-tae) in "Old Boy."

It was a small part (a couple of flashbacks, including one pretty graphic scene).

Not a big fan of YYS but I'm willing to watch this. I love the whole theme and is it me or does ISJ look like an exact replica of YEH?

Maybe this movie will change your heart and like YYS (and am I asking too much if you'll love him eventually? No? Yes? No? Ok I'll stop)!

I mean who can resist his boy next door charm. A true versatile actor from a character I hate to death (Werewolf boy and Architecture 101!!!!!!!!! UGH. SUNBAENIM LEMME KILL YOU.) to the most lovable guy in Reply 1994 (Chilbongieeee. Be still, my heart).

Hahaha. No you're not asking too much. Yes, he was adorable in R94 and my heart did hurt for him, but I'm no big fan. Let's see whether this will change my mind. Lol

what do you mean by ISJ look like exact replica of YEH?
ISJ is older than YEH by 5 years and she looks the same as always in many of her movie projects o-o

I like him in both bad & good guy roles! He's very versatile. You love him when he is bad ass & also when he is goody good like Reply 1994.

Maybe love is too strong a word for his bad ass roles...?

I mean, I wanted to strangle him and cut off his manly parts and torture him for centuries after what he did in Werewolf Boy. But yeah, he's fun to love in charming roles and fun to hate in evil ones. XD

I think I'm going to love Yeonseok in this one no matter how bastard-ish he is because he's just so damn sexy.

It's great to see him coming back to his roots, which is movies, after all the Chilbong craze. I'm a fan of his sweetness but I guess I'm also a fan for his cruelness (is this a word?)
