Am I the only one who think that Choi Jin-hyuk doesn't really suit romcom vibe? It's just that he has this very serious aura. I don't know. Maybe serious romance (is there a genre like that?) will be a different story.

I do count Emergency Couple, I watched it for its romcom vibe and not its medical drama properties and I really liked Choi Jin-hyuk as a romcom lead.

They should've offered him Untold Scandal instead of YJG.

so far i've seen he playing all kind of roles and i'm up for this for one condition. the leading lady must be likable too. haha. i'm a picky viewer...

I love Choi Jin-hyuk and this Cinderella amnesia sounds quirky and fun, if he signs on then I'm in, too!

Plot sounds kinda weird but whatever -- I got excited that there's a character named Kippeum (which is my name in Korean)!~

Choi Jin-hyuk: YESSSSSS

a genius doctor: NOOOOOOOOOOO

I can’t wait to see him on screen again. I have a lot of respect for him. But he does much better in edgier, grittier roles like Tunnel or Pride and Prejudice. When he does romcom, he kind of falls flat, and his intensity is wasted like in Emergency Couple or Fated To Love You. I wasn’t crazy about his performances in either of those dramas. It depends if the romcom has meatier edges than a sugary romcom.

I hope he gives it a shot. If for no other reason than it will be nice for him Not to be the nice but sad and eventually sacrificing second lead.

If only he'd have his "Gu Family Book" pony tail, I'd watch him act in anything.

"Read me the phone book, Koo Wol-Ryung! And when you're finished, I'd love to have you read it to me again."

Ooh, I like this trend of new writers. So far this year, we've had them for dramas I really loved, The Liar and His Lover, Lookout, Buamdong Revenge Club, I hope this writer joins the list too. I'm always on the hunt for new writers to add to my stan list.

I think fluffy rom-coms don't suit him, he's intense, not just his voice but his general aura. He has this tortured, silent, broken man in love vibe going on, which I find exhilarating. I've seen him in Emergency Couple and the goofiness turned me off. Great actor nonetheless.

I agree about it being hard for him trying to top his "Tunnel" success... But I love me some tsundere Choi Jin Hyuk =))

i just need him in my life and the only way that will happen is for him to be in more dramas! he is one i will watch in anything cause he is that good and i trust him to make any role his own brand of excellence. gosh i just need to watch him too! sexy man that he is!

I personally liked Emergency Couple. It wasn't anything ground breaking and it wasn't nearly as good as Cunning Single Lady, which had a similar premise, but it was an entertaining watch at the time.

Depending on what memories are inserted in his brain this could be quite hilarious.

YES!!! Finally a chance for him to make up for Emergency Couple. God, I loved him in I Need Romance and I've been waiting for him to get the girl ever since. Please drama gods, let that one be a good one. I can't take another instance of Choi Jin-Hyuk having negative chemistry with the (supposed) love of his life. May I suggest Kim Ji-Won? They had great moments together on The Heirs.

Choi Jin Hyuk in a rom-com?! 😍 He does suit serious roles but he becomes full-on puppy when he smiles! Really hope he takes the offer ><

Sounds hilarious to me, so I'm on board.

“Cinderella amnesia.” I almost fell off my chair 😳😂

I wish this site wouldn't diss Emergency Couple every chance it gets. I understand we all have opinions, but I don't understand why EC is so disrespected by JB and GF. It was one of my first kdramas, I loved it and so have five girlfriends I recommended it to, so I hate to see people dissuaded from watching it before giving it a chance. It does recycle a number of drama tropes, and drags towards the end, but Choi Jin Hyuk is gorgeous and funny in it, and it has some of my most memorable scenes from kdramas in it. Give it at least a shot if you haven't seen it.
