Gong Hyo-jin in the next Hong Sisters drama?
by girlfriday
OMG OMG OMG! Somebody pinch me. If this happens, I will TOTALLY be a good girl for the rest of the year the rest of the month! I swear! Seriously, if Lee Seung-gi and Gong Hyo-jin get cast in the next Hong Sisters drama together, I might faint from sheer joy. Is it possible to OD on happy?
Oh, right, so the story: Gong Hyo-jin is being named as the top contender for the starring role in the next Hong Sisters’ drama, The Discovery of Affection, about a has-been starlet’s romance with a younger actor who’s at the top of his career. Lee Seung-gi is slated to be the co-star, and though reports on the two actors are not final (nothing signed yet), the studio is reportedly calling it, and gearing up for a massive production. The PD will be Queen Seon-deok‘s Park Hong-kyun, and this will be the Hong Sisters’ seventh drama, slated to follow Royal Family on MBC this summer.
I love quirky, understated Gong Hyo-jin, and to top it off, she’s the star of one of my all-time favorite dramas, Biscuit Teacher Star Candy. Lee Seung-gi is in one of my OTHER all-time faves, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho…which means that if they star in one drama TOGETHER, I might implode.
Now I’m scared to jinx it. I mean, for the love of all that is holy, you can’t dangle the possibility of these two starring together in a Hong Sisters drama, and then yank it out from under me, right? That would be TOO CRUEL.
**puts in call to Santa, just in case**

I loved Thank You. I watched it recently and for the first time in a long time I watched a drama without fast forwarding or just coasting along by reading recaps. It wasn't "ALL THAT", but it was heartwarming and I loved her relationship with Jang Hyuk's character and her undying devotion to her daughter. Made me wonder why the hell did I wait so long to watch it.

and i can't stand her role in Pasta either. i felt offended as a female. That character is the one reason many men in this world still think women are stupid and clingy! most women i know are thankfully not like that character! can totally understand it if that character was a teenager but an adult, that was. annoying!

I am so bad with names that I didn't remember her being in Pasta until I read this post. Of course, that may have something to do with the mention of Biscuit Teacher sending my brain in the wrong direction "OOh, biscuit teacher. I loved that one...Gong Yoo was in that....He is awesome....Gong Yoo....."*sigh*

Yes, good photo choice!
Somehow though, I can't wrap my head around their age gap. I know, I know it's supposed to be an older woman-younger guy but still... I can see Lee Seung Gi as her dongsaeng but not as a love interest.

February 25, 2011 at 2:52 AM
The age gap is like Lee MinHo & Son Yeh Jin in Personal Taste. or Kim Bum & Park Jin Hee in Still Wanna Marry.
GHJ is such a lovable actress esp in Pasta & Thank You. Don't quite like her in Ruler of Your Own World but that's just becoz I was rooting for Lee Na Young!

February 25, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Yeah, but I never fully bought Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ho together... and the Kim Bum-Park Jin Hee age gap is inherent in the plot.
I guess I still can't accept that 7 year age gap :)

February 25, 2011 at 8:06 AM
Yep. The age difference bugs me. Well, I hope they will get the chemistry. And didn't Hong sisters always choose different casts for their drama? I like LSG, but not sure I want to watch him in 2 consecutive Hong dramas.

Girlfriday~ Love the enthusiasm and GHJ is def a top-notch actress. and I loved My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and Hong Sisters definitely write great female-heroine driven scripts. But don't you feel like the Hong Sisters tend to write in such a way so that the male leads are totally overshadowed and play second fiddle, while we totally fall in love with the female lead? As a Seunggi fan, don't want to see him do that again.

I've certainly never gotten that impression. In all their dramas, the main characters are nothing if not diverse. In fact, many of my favorite male-characters have been created by the Hong sisters. Jae Hee as Mong Ryong in Delightful Girl Choon Hyung was my first drama-crush, and he was certainly no shadow to the heroine. And of course there's Hong Gil Dong, who's probably the most obvious example of a strong male lead. Gong Chan, Tae Kyung (really, ALL the You're Beautiful boys) were awesome characters as well, and their roles were just as important as their love-interests. And though I haven't seen Fantasy Couple, if it's anything like the movie it's based on (Overboard) the male character would need to dominate.
So I really don't think you have anything to worry about. These writers know what they're doing.

I can honestly say I don't care who the heck stars in a Hong Sisters drama as long as it's...a Hong Sisters drama. I mean, I'm betting that even KIM HYUN JOONG could shine like a freakin thunderbolt in a dark room in a Hong Sisters drama....wait... Do thunderbolts shine..?
Okay, maybe I do care a LITTLE. I mean...if Lee Seung Gi stars in another Hong Sisters drama again, I may as well collapse from an OD of happiness. And yes, I do think that's possible LOLLL.
But who I REALLY REALLY REALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY wanna see in a Hong Sisters drama for at least once in my lifetime is KIM SOO HYUN. Yes, I'm on Kim Soo High right now. But please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeee don't make him a second lead. My heart can't handle it. After Moon Jae Shin in SKKS and Kang Shin Woo in YAB... THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna see Jung So Min in a Hong Sisters drama too... I also want to see her star in a drama with Kim Soo Hyun.... IS IT POSSIBLE TO OD ON CUTENESS!?!?!? *Sighhh*
JSM is another jewel in the acting industry. I mean...if she managed to make Oh Ha Ni (a character that reallyyyyyyyyyyy annoyed the living daylight out of me in all the other versions) loveable, heck, she can do anything. Too bad she's not getting the breakthrough she deserves. =/

She would be sooooooooo awesome. I don't know about Lee Seung-gi though. Loved him as Woong-ah, but it would be nice to see someone else doing a Hong Sister's drama that hasn't had that chance yet. I know the characterizations would be different, but we all know that the Hongs sortof revolve around similar plot setups. Besides, I just don't see how these two can click. Mmmm..... I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe I'm over thinking this. XD

I loved Gong Hyo-jin in "Pasta" and Lee Seung-gi in MG is a NTF. But I don't know about the pairing in this drama...just have to wait and see I guess.
Frankly, I think Kim So-yeon ("Athena, "Iris", "Prosecutor Princess") would be fun.
BTW there's 7 year difference in the actual age of Lee Seung-gi (1987) and Gong Hyo-jin (1980).

Gong Hyo Jin will forever and always be Chae Eun Hwan, and I know she's off living in blissfully baby filled heaven with her Cha Sang Doo.
I'm glad I watched Pasta before I check out Sang Doo, Let's Go To School, otherwise the entire time I'd be thinking Eun Hwan was cheating on Sang Doo with CHEP.
For those of you who have never watched a GHJ performance, she's always perfectly in character and luminous on screen.
Thank You may be my least favorite GHJ performance, because both Jang Hyuk and Shin Sung Rok stole the show (and her character was a cipher and too passive), but she was brilliant in Ruler of Your Own World and Sang Doo.
Lee Seung Gi is only lucky puppy to romance this noona. I can't wait!~
