Here’s our first peek at Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara’s big dramaland reunion in the summer rom-com Fated to Love You. The new MBC drama began shooting the leads’ first scenes, featuring Jang Nara as the lowly office grunt who gets the morning coffee, and Jang Hyuk as the posh chaebol who wears sunglasses indoors, because he’s too rich for manners. Also, when the heck did his hair get that long and floppy? It’s a little silly looking, but then again it’s alllllmost long enough to get me dreaming about his Chuno hair. Mmmm…

The remake of the hit 2008 Taiwanese drama stars Jang Nara as an office temp from a small island village who has no skills, degrees, or looks to get her anywhere in the world. One day she wins a trip to Macau, and that free vacation changes her life entirely when an accidental one-night stand with a chaebol heir gets her pregnant, which means she has to marry him. Has to or gets to is entirely open to interpretation, I suppose, though chaebol families always sound scary to me.

In any case she ends up married to this almost-stranger, and the drama will be about them getting to know each other after the fact, and also fighting off second lead romantic rivals. That’d be Choi Jin-hyuk (Emergency Couple) as the Daddy Long Legs who always comes to Jang Nara’s rescue, and Wang Ji-won (I Need Romance 3) as the star ballerina who was engaged to Jang Hyuk before he up and married another girl. Crossing my fingers for some classic rom-com fun!

Fated to Love You premieres in July following A New Leaf.

I can't wait to see how they film the accidental sex-w/-a-stranger. FTLY didn't have me completely convinced that Ethan didn't know it wasn't his fiancee. I mean, really, how could he not know when they were kissing? Anyway....

I'm ridiculously excited for this remake. Fated to Love You is the first drama I ever watched, and I had a very intense love-hate relationship with it. I loved to hate it, and I hated that I loved it.

There are really only a few things I'm looking to get out of this remake. 1) I want the evil secondary female lead to be at least slightly less awful (even if I know that's a completely ridiculous request. This is an Asian drama after all, lol.) 2) I really hope it goes in a more comedic direction. The original definitely had a sense of humor, but anytime we strayed outside of our main OTP and spent time with the secondary characters...things just got annoyingly dramatic. (Seriously ballerina girl. No one cares about you.) 3) This one is probably the most important. I don't want them to tone down any of the drama surrounding the baby in the original. I know I just said that I want this to be a funny remake, and I do. But all of the drama surrounding the baby is really essential to the overall storyline, and if any of that has to be sacrificed in order to make the drama more funny, then I don't want it to be more funny. Just make me cry, drama writers. I'm okay with that. (I never thought I would ever say that, lol.)
