Jung Seok-won joins Haeundae Lovers
by javabeans
The upcoming cop-loses-memory-and-thinks-he’s-a-thug romantic-comedy drama (phew, that’s a mouthful) Haeundae Lovers now has its love triangle, with the addition of Jung Seok-won (Rooftop Prince, Ojakkyo Brothers) to the mix. He’ll challenge Kim Kang-woo (aforementioned amnesiac) for the affections of Jo Yeo-jung, a mobster’s daughter—and to play off the whole which-side-of-the-law-are-you-on? question, he’s a lawyer. Oh yeah, and also a hotel vice president. Is he also a diplomat? Because why be ONE perfect, wealthy Daddy Long Legs when you can be two? (Or three?)
This role will take Jung in a slightly different direction image-wise, since he’s going to be the cold, ambitious businessman this time around. His driving force behind the takeover of a hotel in Haeundae, Busan, is to win Daddy’s recognition—what would dramaland be without a withholding father figure?—but I imagine his plans’ll run into a hitch when he comes across the Seoul cop and his love interest.
Jung does have the outward appearance to fit the “cold city man” cliche, though I’ll miss his silly, comic side; he’s got a pretty good deadpan, and solid wry timing as well. And after Rooftop Prince, I’ll never be able to see him as anything other than a Zoolander. ‘Cause… just look at that face:
Haeundae Lovers will film entirely in Haeundae and replaces Big as a Monday-Tuesday drama starting August 13.

Thank you for the picture of the 3 in a truck.
A couple days ago, you had a banner featuring actors with puppies. On the R was a young actor in profile w a Sha Pei. For the life in me I couldn't figure out who that actor was. Of course that was Do Chi San!

Oops my age is showing but it's nice once in awhile to watch male leads looking like men rather than someone who is younger than the leading lady.

Aha. Just read this on 10asia and enews and was wondering...is he the lead or what....?
So apparently he plays second male chaebol lead...in a rom-com. O_o
Oh! Annyeong, ck1Oz! :)

He did the same role in Ojakkyo Brothers... he tried to take over the farm ... to get his father recognition... and of course he was one cold city lad....

But he was a little silly in that role too, so I liked him. But yes, it was almost the same type of role,lol.

Yay finally he has a move up to second lead. He seems to be very hard working. Even with small roles. He been in so many dramas this past year. Go oops!

Would love him to be the lead in something!! I actually loved his character and bromance with Jung Gyu Woon in Dr. Champ! Also recently watched Creating Destiny and he was one of my favorite characters! Loved him in Rooftop prince, showed a new to me side of his acting.
Will probably watch this as well!

Awww its the Blue ranger with the best ass in Joseon. I liked him in Midas and RTP. Although I hate the chaebol jackass type Jung is the exception to the rule.

Ji Jin hee may have something to say about that (while not a Joseon era show, see "He/The Man Who Can't Get Married" for actual shots of JJH's GM (which is an excellent series).

Don't know how you can't remember if you saw it (believe me, no one who saw it would forget JJH dropping his pants while undergoing a medical examination).

Sorry, but what does the phrase 'daddy longs legs' mean?
Thank you.

This phrase comes from a book called Daddy Long Legs. Basically, it's a name used for anyone who helps you out anonymously or secretly.

Jung Seok-won as one of the Joseon Power Rangers was the best thing about RTP (the way he clapped his hands was still funny, the 10th time around), and one of the few things that saved RTP from being in my rom-com basement.
JSW would be perfect as the male lead in a romcom like "My Princess."

Awww, bye bye Zoolander...
...but on the other hand, I'm betting my hands that Zoolander's girlfriend Baek Ji-yeong will sing part of the OST. 'Coz that's what she did in Rooftop Prince, singing part 1 of it...
(that is, if she's not yet tired of "Good Boy" promotions...)
