Are you a middle-aged married lady? Joo Ji Hoon wants ya!

[dangermousie]

I am filled with glee. According to dramabeans, Joo Ji Hoon's next drama is a Korean version of a Japanese novel/movie Tokyo Tower, about a 20-something guy who falls for a 40-year old married lady (to be played by Kim Ji Soo).

*squee*

Mmmm, JJH (In Mawang. I'd post a rl picture, but let's face it, in rl his fashion sense is...interesting):



I have to say, whether you like JJH or not (I do), he certainly has a good taste in roles. He started out as Prince (not so) Charming in the adorable Goong, then played a serial killer in Mawang (if not for Legend, the drama that would occupy Top Drama From Anywhere slot in my heart), a cake shop owner in the gay trifle delight Antique Bakery, the title character in a musical play version of Don Juan and now this. :)

In other news, anyone watching The Story of a Man starring Park Yon Ha (On Air) and Park Shi Yeon (La Dolce Vita). It's written by the writer of the legendary Sandglass and Eyes of Dawn, as well as (more pertinent to me) my favorite drama ever, Legend. Crime, revenge, and business: here I come!

I remember I started watching it with Nga and our cousins and I was all, "Ew, no, I don't want to see Jun's butt!" XD

Oh yes. Am ecstatic too that he'll be doing another movie so soon. Seems like his career is going well ;-)

JJH! I liked him in Goong but majorly respected him after Mawang. And he continued to impress in Antique Bakery. And he's so yummy too!!! Thanks for the good drama news.

... Well, if it has JJH I'll give the first ep a shot.

I'm gonna try out Story of a Man as soon as I find the time. =D

I still haven't seen Antique Bakery. And you were wise to post a drama pic of him, because his fashion sense is indeed horrible. (Dude, get a stylist!) And remember, in Mawang he was a serial killer who never actually killed anyone himself (that I remember, at least).

I've seen the J-movie and kinda liked it. Well, it has Okada Junichi (he plays the part of that 20-something), one of the few Johnnys I can stomach to watch. ;) JJH is perfect for the part. Lot taller though. *g*

Yup, I'll be watching Story of a Man. Gotta have my super angst fix. Besides it sounds like it could be good.

Ohhh! Must see! That's one of my things; older women/younger men.

Hmm, awesome news! His ability in picking roles that can help him grow as an actor and don't just showcase his pretty face continues to impress me. (Not that there's anything wrong with him having a pretty face, of course).
And it's autumn here now, which must mean that a re-watch of Mawang is looming *grin* (we first watched it last autumn, so we associate it with this time of the year).

Story of A Man seems promising, plus Lee Philip is in it so I may just watch it.
