First stills for Will It Snow On Christmas

First stills are out for the upcoming SBS series Will It Snow On Christmas, which feature star Han Ye-seul dressed up to attend her character’s engagement party.

In the drama, she is the first love to Go Soo’s character, but the two separate in their youths and she becomes engaged in this scene to Song Jong-ho. Go Soo attends the ceremony to take the place of a sick friend and sees her there, shocked to recognize his childhood friend. These scenes were filmed on October 26 at an outdoor cafe in Yangju, Kyeonggi-do.

Han Ye-seul prepares for her next drama

A year after her last drama (Tazza), Han Ye-seul is coming back with a new series in SBS’s upcoming Will It Snow On Christmas? [크리스마스에 눈이 올까요?] and the actress recently gave her impressions on the role.

She plays a cheerful character who can’t accept injustice and whose hot temper often causes her to interfere. Han said of the role, “The Ji-wan character as created by writer Lee Kyung-hee is a lovable person who makes you feel happy, and who overcomes pain with optimism.” Han had wanted to take on another role after Tazza, “but the circumstances weren’t right, so I ended up taking a break.” However, she casts the break in a positive light, saying that as a result, “It feels like I’m eating delicious food after holding back for a long time.”

In Christmas, Han’s younger self will be portrayed by young actress Nam Ji-hyun — who, by the way, played the younger self of one of Han’s best friends, Han Ji-hye, in East of Eden. Han Ye-seul said of her co-star, “When I heard Ji-hyun would be playing my childhood character, I felt really relieved. I was able to connect the Ji-wan character that Ji-hyun portrayed softly and smoothly.”

The drama is directed by PD Choi Mun-seok of What Happened in Bali and writer Lee Kyung-hee of I’m Sorry, I Love You; it also marks the drama return project for Go Soo after four years away from television. It also stars Sunwoo Sun (Queen of Housewives) and Song Jong-ho (Cain & Abel).

Will It Snow On Christmas? premieres on December 2 and airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays following You’re Beautiful.

Into the White Night holds press conference


Sohn Ye-jin, Go Soo

With the theatrical release approaching for dark thriller film Into the White Night (aka Baekyahaeng: Walk Into the White Night), the production held a press conference on the morning of October 21 in Seoul. In attendance were the movie’s two lead stars, Sohn Ye-jin (Open City) and Go Soo. For the latter, this marks his first screen role since his pre-military drama Marrying a Millionaire back in 2005.

I’ve definitely been anticipating this movie, not (only) because Go Soo finally returns to acting, but because the story sounds wonderfully dark and tense, and the trailer (watch here) looks great.

Sunwoo Sun signs on for Will It Snow On Christmas

Sunwoo Sun is one of the unknown faces catapulted to mainstream popularity after her role in this year’s Queen of Housewives. (She played the unhappy wife of another of its breakouts, Yoon Sang-hyun.) She has announced her follow-up role in the SBS drama Will It Snow On Christmas? [크리스마스에 눈이 올까요, a working title], meaning she’ll be forming a love triangle with Go Soo in his television comeback role as well as Han Ye-seul.

The role doesn’t seem to take her very far from her Queen of Housewives character; once again, she’s playing a chaebol, who is the daughter of the CEO of a large-scale corporation. She’s haughty and lives by her own rules, seemingly cold on the exterior but capable of showing passion in the face of love. She has a contentious relationship with Go Soo’s character, with whom she butts heads in everything. Han Ye-seul rounds out the trio as Go Soo’s childhood love.

Will It Snow On Christmas? will take up the Wednesday-Thursday slot currently filled by SBS’s outrageously addictive You’re Beautiful. I admit it doesn’t sound too exciting from the quick summary, but don’t count it out just yet; it comes to us from PD Choi Mun-seok of What Happened in Bali and writer Lee Kyung-hee of I’m Sorry, I Love You.

Go Soo announces comeback drama

I’ve been waiting ages for Go Soo’s official acting comeback after his army release, and not only are we getting a film (the dark thriller Into the White Night with Sohn Ye-jin), he has also decided on a drama return — his first in four years. It’ll come in the SBS series Will It Snow On Christmas? [크리스마스에 눈이 올까요], and co-stars Han Ye-seul.

I’m not thrilled about Han Ye-seul, because she’s had pretty uneven performances in her career and has been coasting on being a CF queen, but I’m going to go into this with an open mind. (To give credit where it’s due, I thought she was pitch-perfect in Fantasy Couple.) And this comes from the director of What Happened in Bali (dark) and the writer of Thank You (heartwarming) and I’m Sorry, I Love You (intense) — Choi Mun-seok and Lee Kyung-hee, respectively — so that is promising stuff.

In the drama, Go Soo plays a man who was brought up by his grandmother in difficult circumstances and shows an “intelligent, masculine appeal.” His character had shared a young love with the girl played by Han Ye-seul, but through “sad circumstances,” they were forced to separate. She is the daughter of a famed doctor of Oriental medicine in a small village, although she’s always being compared to and passed over for her smarter, brighter older brother. She and Go Soo eventually reunite in their fateful love as adults. (The setup sounds trite and unexciting, but given the writing-directing duo, I’m staying optimistic.)

No airdate planned yet, but I’ll be keeping an eye on Will It Snow on Christmas, for sure.
