Red-hot and ready for a Love Marriage

Posted on August 7th, 2008

Kim Min-hee poses in red for a scene in the upcoming KBS rom-com series Love Marriage. This recent shoot took place in a club in Seoul’s trendy Apgu neighborhood, wherein Kim wore clothing and accessories totaling a cost of 25 million won, or approximately $25,000.

Apparently the fashionista actress handles much of the styling of her own character in the drama, who plays a “love manager,” aka a romance coach. Balancing out Kim Min-hee’s “bright and lively” character, Kim Ji-hoon plays her love interest, a “rational, thorough, and perfectionist” divorce lawyer, because this is a trendy drama which means we must have symmetry in all aspects! (Actually, I’m not complaining. It’s clichéd, but I think it could be cute. Kind of like Alicia Silverstone’s blink-and-you-missed-it dramedy Miss Match, except her character there was both a divorce lawyer AND matchmaker.)

Park Ki-woong plays romance rival as Kim Min-hee’s younger boyfriend; also cast is Hwang Bora as an employee in Kim Min-hee’s office.

Love Marriage is written by Lee Eun-ah (Goong) and directed by Kim Hyung-seok (Goodbye Sadness), and will take the next Monday-Tuesday slot after Strongest Chil Woo wraps up later this month. Its first episode airs on August 25.

Kim Ji Hoon takes it off for Amore Pacific

Posted on April 30th, 2008

Kim Ji Hoon, currently starring in the cute Friday drama Why Did You Come To Our House?, bares his torso for cosmetic brand Amore Pacific’s Laneige Homme line. (People really like nekkid Kim Ji Hoon, huh? No complaints.) Although I’m not sure what he’s hawking. Hair gel? Chest waxer? (Photoshop? C’mon, nobody’s six-pack is that perfectly shadowed.)

Kim Ji Hoon streaks through Myungdong

Posted on March 29th, 2008

And no, that’s not a metaphor.

Actor Kim Ji Hoon actually had to streak through Seoul’s busy Myungdong district for his new show, Why Did You Come To Our House? (which premiered yesterday, the 28th). On press conference day for the new SBS Friday drama, Kim Ji Hoon described that scene as being the hardest to film — not only because of the personal embarrassment of running through a crowded street in only his boxers, but because of the cold weather. That, and:

“Myungdong was unusually crowded the day we filmed that scene. Because the scene needed to be shot from afar, the camera and staff were removed on a rooftop while I ran through Myungdong in my underwear, and we shot it four times.”

Kim Ji Hoon last acted in the popular KBS weekend drama Golden Age for Daughters in Law with Lee Soo Kyung, but it was his role as the scruffier Mr. Sexy (Hot Bedroom Eyes) Eun Tak in last year’s Flowers For My Life that caught my eye. (By the way, great drama. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen drama where there are absolutely no bad guys, much less one that’s so satisfying, complexly drawn — and morbidly funny.)

In Why Did You Come To Our House, Kim Ji Hoon plays a son-in-law who goes to live in the home of his wife’s rich family. The drama also stars Kim Jung Nan, Lee So Yeon, Kim Seung Soo, Oh Yoon Ah, and Jung Joon Ha.
