Park Bo-young picks her next project

Finally! And yay!

Park Bo-young is ending an involuntary two-year hiatus with a new movie. Already a top-flight actress at the age of 20, she has fielded numerous offers from films and dramas and has settled on She’s Looking At Me [그녀가 날봐요], a “human melodrama” (which basically means a drama with a lighter touch and a focus on relationships).

She reportedly decided to take the role without hesitation after falling in love with the screenplay, which she read in one go. Her role is described as an extremely charming character who has a personality disorder that renders her unable to express her feelings. She meets a timid guy named Ji-ho, and thus begins their love connection.

Park’s last project, 2008’s hit comedy Speed Scandal, shot her to superstardom and currently stands in the top ten list of Korea’s box office runs of all time, with more than 8.5 million admissions. Due to a series of legal battles involving her management company and another film production house, Park has been unable to act in the intervening time, and her comeback has been highly anticipated for some time.

She’s Looking At Me is still casting, and will begin shooting at the end of October.

So how do we get Kim Soo Hyun cast as the timid guy named Ji-ho? Think tank, go!

(Yay for more Park Bo-young!)

I second this. What can we do to get him cast? He's such a great actor who deserves a lead role.

there are many of the SKK crowd who are rooting for Yoo Ah In to finally get a girl i.e. cast as male lead. So I'm all for him this time. Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun have got the limelight already.

i'm the only one who just cant go all girly on Yoo Ah In. trust me, i know the guy's good-looking but I just can't root for him. it's like, I see his appeal but it's not working on me. shrugs...

To each his own. Ah but its not his looks, but acting chops. Still this fangirl is kinda happy that I get a bigger share of the Yoo Ah In love. XD

She's great. I actually liked her a lot more in Sensitive Couple (aka ESP Couple) than Speed Scandal.

"a “human melodrama” (which basically means a drama with a lighter touch and a focus on relationships). "

Huh. Human melodrama? As opposed to melodramas made with giant blue avatars?

Park Bo Young and Lee Min Ho . .. make it so somebody. SOMEBODY!!!

Yay, so glad she's back! I really wanted her as the lead of playful kiss but the drama doesn't appeal to me like I thought it would, but this is sooo much better!
