Twelve Men in a Year releases posters

girlfriday — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:40:14 +0000

Upcoming tvN rom-com Twelve Men in a Year has released its posters and a new teaser,
highlighting a fun and whimsical take on leaving your romantic fate to the stars. Yoon Jin-seo plays Miru, a magazine writer who takes on a new romance column and launches headlong into a project where she dates twelve men, one for each astrological sign of the year. I like that the posters have taken that in the most literal sense, and set her amongst falling stars. So cute.

Twelve Men in a Year adds to cast, releases preview

javabeans — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:11:14 +0000

Twelve Men in a Year is getting ready to unveil next month, and here are some stills and the first preview for the rom-com drama starring Yoon Jin-seo as Miru, a writer who takes on the idea of dating a man from each zodiac sign. Hence, twelve men in a year.

Ohn Joo-wan (My Love By My Side) is the main love interest, and Go Jun-hee has been cast as a photographer who works at the magazine. Now Bae Geu-rin (49 Days) joins them playing a character reminiscent of 200 Pound Beauty‘s Hana; she gets full-body plastic surgery and transforms herself into a beauty.

At one word of praise from our hero, Bae falls for him and chases him around, which sounds like a cute loveline. Bae Geu-rin has a cute charm to her acting, and she showed us that she could play the part of dogged admirer as A.N.JELL’s fan club president in You’re Beautiful, which means Ohn Joo-wan may find his hands full fending off her advances. Hee. (...)

Kim Da-hyun joins Twelve Men in a Year

girlfriday — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:18:00 +0000

Here’s the first of Yoon Jin-seo‘s twelve men to romance. (How’s a girl get that job?) Musical actor Kim Da-hyun, who you might recognize from Warrior Baek Dong-soo or Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, has been cast as the first of the dozen suitors in tvN’s Twelve Men in a Year, due out next month. A little more of the story has been revealed as well, and so far, I like what I see.

Go Jun-hee joins cast of Twelve Men in a Year

javabeans — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:21:34 +0000

With the leads cast in tvN’s upcoming rom-com miniseries Twelve Men in a Year — that would be Yoon Jin-seo (Runaway Plan B, Return of Iljimae) and Oh Joo-wan (My Love By My Side) — it’s time to turn to supporting leads. Go Jun-hee (What’s Up Fox) joins the cast as a stylish, free-spirited photographer.

Her character is a pro about her work life, but not too concerned about things like romance. That’s not a lot of info, but she’ll probably be the friend to our heroine, who embarks on the mission to date twelve guys in the year before she turns thirty. Perhaps she’ll advise her, or maybe she won’t be of much help at all, given her indifference to dating. In any case, I can see Go Jun-hee in the role easily, since she’s a former model and known for her stylin’ fashion sense, and also has played slightly offbeat types before, like in What’s Up Fox (when she fell for the cranky, eccentric ajusshi 17 years her senior).

Twelve Men in a Year will premiere on February 15, a Wednesday, which means that cable channel tvN is expanding its prime-time programming to cover more nights. Ever since they joined the prime-time lineup, they’ve been sticking to one original drama per week (they do have other original dramas, which air outside of the standard prime-time broadcast slots), such as I Need Romance and Birdie Buddy.

When this drama hits airwaves, the channel will have Shut Up: Flower Boy Band on Monday and Tuesday nights, and Twelve Men on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It’s a great thing for diversified programming, but oy! A terrible thing for those of us already conflicted up to HERE (points two feet above head) about what to watch and how we’ll have the time to squeeze it all in without going crazy, or blind.

Yoon Jin-seo headlines tvN romantic comedy

girlfriday — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:33:41 +0000

Yay, Yoon Jin-seo (Runaway: Plan B, Return of Iljimae) has been cast as the lead in a new rom-com miniseries for cable network tvN called Twelve Men in a Year, set to premiere next month. Yoon is delightfully funny and emotive, so I can’t wait to see her front and center in a romantic comedy tailored just for her. She’ll be playing a 29-year old woman who hits her Oh-frak-I’m-gonna-be-THIRTY-soon crisis, and decides to date twelve men during her last year of being twenty-something. Okay, I kind of love this premise. Will it be a new guy every month, or are there more rules to this game?

16th Busan International Film Festival’s opening red carpet

javabeans — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:57:52 +0000

The 16th Busan International Film Festival opened on October 6, and the red carpet to the opening screening — So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo’s tragic romance Only You — was awash with stars.

(For those of you used to seeing the festival called PIFF, it recently changed its spelling. The festival is in its 16th year and began back when the city was spelled Pusan. The spelling of the southern city officially changed to Busan in 2000, but the festival kept its former spelling, which naturally led to some confusion. Yeah, the Korean romanization system changes hasn’t been the most easy to follow.)

It’s been a while since we’ve had a big, star-packed red carpet, but this reminds me that we’re heading into awards season, and will soon be seeing lots of events like this. Which means, lots and lots of red carpets to ooh over, or, as the case may be, snark.

There were some questionable outfits (always fun), but overall I really like what I saw, even if there was an overwhelming trend toward leg slits Up To There and a good amount of side-boob. But the colors! Yay for colors!

Yoon Jin-seo in Saipan

javabeans — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:04:12 +0000

What a gorgeous photo spread. Forget the fashions (though they are nice), it’s the scenic environs that have me drooling for Yoon Jin-seo‘s (Runaway Plan B) new shoot for a travel magazine named, appropriately enough, The Traveler.

The pictorial took Yoon to the South Pacific — specifically, the island of Saipan. Must be nice to have a job where a working trip can double as a vacation, since Yoon reportedly used the time to rest up and recharge before jumping into her next project, the movie Punchline with Goong actor Kim Jung-hoon. (In the film described as a human comedy, she plays the lively aide to an upright politician who’s determined to wipe out corruption — good luck with that — and Kim plays the man’s son.)

Yoon Jin-seo teams with Kim Jung-hoon in Punchline

javabeans — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:31:42 +0000

A year after starring in the I-fell-in-love-with-twins, melo-mystery movie Secret Love, Yoon Jin-seo is taking a lighter approach with her next film project: She’s starring in Punchline, a human comedy that sounds like it straddles the line between thoughtful and light-hearted.

Yoon Jin-seo plays the aide to an upright, moral politician (I know! That mythical unicorn) who is elected as a new minister, who sets out to wipe out all corruption. Yoon’s character is an energetic and devoted aide, but still on the lookout for the meaning of happiness in her personal life. She’s described as cute and lively, which brings to mind her adorably feisty cop character in last year’s Runaway Plan B.

Runaway Plan B: Halftime report

javabeans — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 03:02:24 +0000

All right, folks, time to check back in with Runaway Plan B. I’ve been watching the episodes despite not recapping it, and now at the halfway mark, I can say that the show is better now than it was at the outset. I’m still a few points away from loving it, but I’m more invested than I was.

I said in the initial recap (and the podcast) that I liked it with some reservations, because there were a few key points that kept me from jumping fully onboard. Like the super-slickness, the style-without-a-heart vibe, the bravado. And one main weak point still holds it back: While the individual episodes move briskly (how can they not, with all that running?), the overall story progresses at a creepy-crawl. If you cut through the action and the fighting and boil down what actually happened in an episode, you’ll see that plot movement only actually makes up small fraction of the real estate. There’s a lot of time spent on filler stuff, like the other PIs in other countries and whatnot. But maybe that’s intentional.

On the upside, Runaway IS very easy to watch. And it may have taken about six episodes before I cared anything about any character, but here at Episode 10, we’re making some nice movements forward. (Finally!)

Here’s the thing, though: You absolutely can’t take it seriously. You have to approach the drama knowing it’s all fun fluff, whether we’re talking about everyone’s magic designer wardrobe — despite being on the run five times per episode — or escaping from handcuffs with a bendy straw. You’ve gotta roll with the ridiculous punches and laugh at the cheekiness, rather than rolling your eyes in derision, because otherwise you’ll just strain yourself (and said eyes).
