Yoon Jin-yi scores loveline with Sung Joon in Discovery of Romance

Remember when I was all sad about Sung Joon being doomed to second fiddle status in Discovery of Romance, to love and lose Jung Yumi in classic second lead fashion? I feel better now, because Yoon Jin-yi (Mandate of Heaven, A Gentleman’s Dignity) has just been added to the KBS rom-com series, and she’s all set up for a loveline with him.

The drama stars Jung Yumi opposite Eric as exes who reconnect when their career paths meet; she’s a furniture designer, and he’s the prez of an interior design company. Sung Joon is her sweet, perfect surgeon boyfriend of the past three years, and Yoon Jin-yi is cast as the girl from his childhood who’s carried a torch for him all these years. Aw, well at least somebody will be there to understand his pain when he gets chucked to the side, right? This is what we call a silver lining?

Yoon Jin-yi seems well-cast, with her character being described as energetic and lovable, which is right up her alley; her boisterous tomboy in Mandate of Heaven was a refreshing character, and she displayed a cute mix of bold and bashful in her Answer Me 1994 side role. She’s one of those actresses who, despite being still a bit green, makes up for inexperience with onscreen charisma, which is something you can’t really learn. It also means I’m a fan of all four of our main leads—it’s not every day that happens!

With the writer of the I Need Romance series penning scripts, we have a pretty good idea of what kind of lightly funny romance to expect. Discovery of Romance takes over the Trot Lovers slot on Mondays and Tuesdays come August.

I love the pairings. Eric-Yoo Mi and Sung Joon-Yoon Jin Yi. Can't wait for August to see them. Four of them are talented actors. How I miss Eric's acting and his overload handsomeness…..Eric just like fine wine. Getting better with ages, not only his looks but talents too.

Oh now I'm excited. Yoon Jin-yi has such a unique charm about her, she'll be perfect paired with Sung Joon. And I'm also happy her gets a potentially-successful loveline!

I find both second leads annoying. Huh. Like really annoying. But I might try it out if only for the writer.

Why?? Sung Joon and Yoon Jin Yi looks ok for me (I'm not familiar with them tho). But I think Eric-Yoo Mi pair is more than ok to give this drama a try. The lead actors were superb in Que Sera Sera days.

Yaaaaay! I was already pumped for this drama, but now I'm pretty damn excited. Interestingly, I don't have the best track record with this writer. I like all her dramas and have watched/skimmed every single one, but I've never managed to fall in love. Hopefully, this one will change that.

Meahri!! I'm so glad to see her back on my screen! And as Sung Joon's counterpart! I just loved her in Gentleman's Dignity! She really rocked her pairing with Kim Min Jong albeit the age gap in the drama! I hope she gets a wonderful and 'growing' character to play in this drama since i'm so looking forward to my Tae Joo and Eun Soo reuinion! Gosh, Discovery of Romance can't arrive fast enough!!

This is good. She was really wonderful in Mandate of Heaven learning the joys and pains of falling in love.

Opposite SJ should be pretty.
Can't wait for this one.

I do hope Sung Joon's character would fall for her in the end, so we get two happy endings in the drama. Yay !
