Cha Seung-won in Best Love

Finally, it’s Cha Seung-won’s turn for the spotlight for his new drama, Best Love, the Hong sisters project that stars him as a famous actor.

He’s still sporting the facial hair (sigh), but it’s a much tidier version than the look he wore for Athena, which practically had a lifeforce of its own. Cha’s character is Dokko Jin (yes, Dokko is a Korean surname, albeit an uncommon one), a star much beloved by the public, which means he’s the polar opposite to his love interest, who’s dogged by a more negative reputation. It also means that Cha is working with a more clean-cut image than his badass one of recent years.

In the stills directly below, Jin is at the office of his agency, and goes through a speed quiz over the phone with Ae-jung, the former idol star with a bad image played by Gong Hyo-jin. It’s reportedly an important scene connecting Episodes 1 and 2, and given the Hong sisters’ love of outrageous setups and comic gags, no doubt the scene’ll end with a kicker.

The Hongs have written six hit shows in six years, so they’ve earned the audience’s trust that they’ll deliver a solid mix of laughs, parodies, and romantic chemistry between their leads. I have faith that they’ll bring the funny, just as I trust Cha and Gong to deliver winning characters; now, I just hope the writers can work on maximizing their strong supporting cast too, since they’ve got Yoo Inna (Secret Garden) and Yoon Kye-sang (Who Are You) to work with.

Best Love premieres on May 4 on MBC.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

CSW will fill my May and June with warmth and joy, and knowing those darn Hongs, buckets of tears.

I am hoping CSW plays the much beloved star with a secret, that maybe he is evil somehow. I love CSW with all my heart, but threatening, dark, looming CSW is better than just plain ol' nice any day.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

The facial hair NEEDS TO GO. I don't like him and can't imagine him being added to one of the loveable and fun Hong sisters' hero lineup :( So not excited about this anymore

*sigh* I'm simply in love with the man no matter what..
and if we get no shower scene in this drama,
someone with a good photoshop should make one
out of that picture #5.

btw GF and JB, I'm really curious, since you didn't rate City Hall, you guys really haven't seen it? Chinchaa?!?

OMG gf, CSW in City Hall would make you forget
Gong Yoo +LSG in a heartbeat!

I crave this man. I ABHORRED Athena! But I watched every single last episode because I knew not when I would see him again, and voila! I have the satisfaction of not only seeing him but that facial hair of his too! I love his acting style and the facial hair is his mojo! May is going to be great!

alright... I was really thinking he would change his hair style or facial hair for this character. While he's all sexy... this combo has been used so many times, I'm just going to think about him in City Hall and Athena. That look is a bad-ass look, a I'm mysterious and hot look, not so much a happy, positive, loved by public look.

Still... I cannoooooottt waiiiit!!!

This man just keep getting better.

Yes! I agree to all the comments above, he needs to be contractually obliglated to at least 5 shirtless scenes including the obligatory shower scene!
I just love the first and the last two pictures, it makes me want to daydream.

I NEED to watch this! I love Gong Hyojin. She's pretty, awkward-ish, and awesome all at the same time! Never seen Cha Seungwon in action but I'll be looking forward. Is it safe to say that this drama will be (one of) the best this year? It's too early to tell, but I loved 2 of the Hong sisters project (maybe more?) so I'll be looking forward.

The facial hair or degree of it isn't nearly as much of an issue as CSW overshaping his brows the past few years.

He is very good-looking. But as for the facial hair...puhaha. I remember in family outing someone said his facial hair was in the shape of the korean word 소 (which means cow)...and that's all I can think about now when I see his mustache. Keke.

I super excited for this though. To be honest, none of the dramas out right now are catching my interest (except for Can You Hear My Heart? because I'm so hooked on that right now....Saturday. Come hither. Now). I need something to tide me over during the hellish school weeks...so I'm waiting for this.

I LOVE his facial hair. He rocks it and I like how he lets it get full or trims it sparse.

Cha Seung Won is the stuff!

I am looking forward to this drama as I haven't been able to get into anything lately.

Bring it!

It will be interested to see how CSW does. He seems to be a talented actor and have a varied range (from comedy to serious drama). I'm a fan of City Hall and have not heard of CSW prior to CH. I hope that he can prove that he's as great as he was in CH. Cannot wait! :-P

I don't even know what he looks like without the facial hair. I know I could google but do you guys have any good pictures of him without the facial hair?

CSW absolutely look more gorgeous with facial hair, personally I prefer the City Hall look, but I think the Athena look is appropriate for his badass role in that drama.

Actually for those who has seen his CF Sky Vega, it is his PERFECT look - an elegant version of Son Hyuk's look.......very SEXY.

I can NOT wait to see his drama, I started liking him after I watch him in Athena but what really makes me fall madly in LOVE with Mr. Cha is City hall which I watched at the same time as Athena.

Why the heck did he shave it off just becuz of some dummies who cant stop lookin at gay lookin boys and want real men to look like gay lookin boy freaks!!!!!

this makes me so mad he was like the asian johnny depp

and now he does look like a cow. I know it’s hard to accept manly lookin men in asian but chasungwon looked the freakin best b4 he shaved it off…. and he still don’t look like a pretty boy so stop tryna make him look like a fag!

YOU PEOPLE RUINED HIM!
