Lee Min-jung and Lee Jung-jin team up in rom-com

I like this pairing, A LOT: Lee Min-jung (Midas) and Lee Jung-jin (Runaway Plan B) have been cast as the leads in a new movie, which’ll feature them in a workplace romance when he’s brought in to save her flagging radio show.

Lee Min-jung plays Jin-ah, the DJ of a radio show with low listener ratings, who enjoyed a former existence as the leader of a popular idol group; they were one of the original girl groups known as being “nation’s fairy girls,” so think S.E.S. Lee Jung-jin plays Jae-ik, the prickly but talented and charming PD who comes in and creates a new segment on her radio show. In the process of presenting “vivid and dramatic” stories of their listeners’ daily lives, they encounter a “miraculous moment” that changes their own lives.

That has a dramatic ring to it, but Wonderful Radio is described as a cheery romance — consider me onboard. I love both actors, who are gorgeous individually and also together, whose cups runneth over with screen presence and charisma. I can already see them bickering and falling in love, and can’t wait to actually see it unfold onscreen. Oh, why isn’t this a drama??

Directing is Kwon Chil-in of Singles and Hellcats. Wonderful Radio will begin filming in June, and aims for a fall release.

Ditto

But I'll still watch for LJJ. That GQ spread is too little of a good thing.

Why do I smell "Best Love" radio version...?
(Thinking of Syukira alreaady...)

If Lee Min-jeong's Jin-ah "enjoyed a former existence as the leader of a popular idol group; they were one of the original girl groups known as being “nation’s fairy girls,”", isn't it like KBSN's Goo Ae-jeong-esque??? And I already think the group's name was "Gukmin Yonyeo" (국민요녀 國民妖女)...
Lee Jung-jin's Jae-ik is obviously the Dokko Jin, but I like that he's not that Ddongko Jin we see...
