Entries in the 'Single Papa in Love' Category

News bites: January 21

  • Goong S’s Heo Yi-jae (”little Kim Tae Hee”) has been cast as Oh Ji Ho’s love interest in the upcoming drama Single Papa in Love. Yikes, that makes me nervous for both of them.
  • While doing press for her upcoming film The Chaser, actress Park Hyo Joo of the cable “Chosun CSI” show Chosun Police (and spunky agent Im Yewon from Air City) admitted in an interview that she suffers from a rare spinal condition, congenital spondylolysis (a defect in the lower lumbar vertebra). She was diagnosed in high school and had to give up her lifelong dreams of being a ballerina. Thankfully her condition doesn’t get in the way of her current career; her film opens on Valentine’s Day.
  • Speaking of ballerinas, pop vocal group CSJH The Grace’s arguably most popular member, Stephanie, is dressing up as a ballerina (her previous artistic endeavor, prior to becoming a singer) in Project “S,” a mobile-content photo collection she shot in Singapore this past December. Already a two-minute video clip of Stephanie showing her ballet moves is available at the video portal tvpot.daum.net (or watch the video below):
  • And Lee Bo Young opens a new film and fights old rumors. She’s promoting her first starring film role in Once Upon a Time, which sounds like some kind of period crime caper hybrid (she’s in search of a stolen 3,000 carat diamond and teams with a master thief, played by Park Yong Woo), which opens at the end of January. Meanwhile, she’s still denying rumors that sprung up last year that she was seeing soccer star Park Ji Sung — gossip even placed her in England, supposedly visiting him there — but she insists they’ve never even met.

Oh Ji Ho as a single father

Hard-bodied actor Oh Ji Ho has been cast in his next role — as a single dad, in the KBS2 drama Single Papa in Love.

Oh costars with Kang Sung Yeon, who also appeared in the film The King and the Clown and the drama Let’s Get Married, in the drama about a man raising his son alone after being abandoned by his first love. By day he works as a pest exterminator, by night as a martial artist. The baby momma is played by Kang, a cold and proud woman who left her family to study abroad (ah, the ever-useful plot device!) as a pianist.

Oh Ji Ho’s last drama may have flopped, but he fared well in 2006’s Fantasy Couple. And while there have been plenty of single-mom dramas and movies out there, the single-father angle has been explored much less frequently. Although, given how Oh’s character in Fantasy Couple was very nearly a single father (single uncle, raising three young nephews on his own), perhaps this role won’t seem so unfamiliar after all.

Single Papa will follow Bad Love and airs in February.
