Eric, Go Jun-hee consider lead roles in KBS fantasy rom-com
by tipsymocha
If they accept, this would definitely be an interesting lead couple. There’s a new drama in the works over at KBS titled Perfume, and both Eric (Oh Hae-young Again) and Go Jun-hee (Untouchable) have been offered the lead roles. Both are still in the considering phase, but it would be nice to see Eric back in dramaland after a three-year absence.
The title of the show is a little touch on the nose, and will be about a magical perfume that brings back youth to its wearer. So, basically, the fountain of youth in a bottle. The role Eric has been offered is that of a top designer who may look perfect from the outside looking in, but actually has a horrible personality. He really sounds like a character, with 52 different phobias and 35 allergies. If there’s anyone that needs to be bubble-wrapped, it sounds like he’s it. Maybe it’s due to all of these fears and allergies that he’s unable to work up the courage to ever pursue love.
Go Jun-hee’s character is more directly related to the titular perfume, and she will play the role of a middle-aged housewife who turns back into her 20s self after using the perfume. She’ll start out the show at her rock-bottom, as the family she’s devoted her entire life to is taken away from her. As she regains the beauty of her youth through this magical perfume, she gets a chance to walk the runway of Eric’s top designer’s show, and enter a top modelling agency. This plot sounds exactly like the type of whimsy needed for a fantasy rom-com, and I look forward to how it turns out.
Perfume is slated to premiere in June this year.

It's about time for him to comeback to drama land after 2 seasons of Three Meals a Day, a marriage, and the whole year of activities to celebrate Shinhwa's 20th anniversary. 💗

ughhh basically I am tired of the rich-chaebol-with-over-the-top-allergies trope. I couldn't even watch Cleaning with Passion Now without feeling it was a cheap knockoff of INAR (down to the robot vacumm!). I love Eric so much and have been dying to see him in another drama but this premise sounds like a dead beat. I hope he gets a better script for his come back. But then again if anyone can pump life into a dead script, it's gotta be Eric!

Top of the field with a horrible personality. What a unique set of traits!

The premise sounds suitable for a rom-com and I can totally see Eric playing the snobby -perfect lead. I hope he accepts.

I wish she'd be able to walk the catwalk WITHOUT turning twenty again...why not an Eric-Noona romance?

Eric is now very close to being 40, so if they were to produce an Eric-Noona romance, she'd have to be 50-ish? Which is also the actual age of our female lead character, now that I think about it. however I'd rather see a young female character rather than see Eric romancing a 50 or 60 year old actress. The latter would be too weird.

Ahhh, sorry about that- I hadn't realised noonas needed to be so much older. My wish was more for a role for a woman of the same age, who didn't have to be "youthful" in order to be considered beautiful enough to be on a runway.
(and I managed to accidentally upvote my own post trying to click on reply, so that should tell you something about my klutz-level)

" He really sounds like a character, with 52 different phobias and 35 allergies."
And I thought Seon-gyeol over at Clean with Passion for Now was bad enough.

I haven't seen Eric for the longest time so it'll be nice to see him once again. I like Go Jun-hee and I'm very curious how this pairing with Eric will turn out.

While I do like this possible role for Eric...I am still hoping that he would consider being a villain. haha.
