Oh, Good God.

According to Koala, the latest contenders for the leading lady role in Yoochun's melo 'I Miss You' are Gu Hye Sun and Lee Min Jung.

TPTB must really hate me!

Those are the only two kdrama actresses I cannot stand. I might even be prepared to tolerate Jang Nara more than those two. GHS is the worst kdrama actress I've ever seen - I can deal with wooden but it's hard to ignore when someone on your screen constantly emotes like a chipmunk on speed - I've seen her in Boys Over Flowers, Absolute Boyfriend, The King and I, that ridiculous Eric fusion thing, and she was uniformly unbearable in every single one. To add insult to injury, she has little chemistry with her costars and I don't find her in the least good-looking. UGH. BARF.

Lee Min Jung is objectively pretty (though she makes me think of a borzoi for some reason), and isn't as teeth-grindingly bad as GHS but I just cannot stand her. That started with BOF, where her appearance (and utterly ridiculous amounts of screentime) signified the turning point of when this drama went from awesome to flaming trainwreck. The disaster that was BIG did not help. In general, she just irritates me for some reason. I mean, I even skipped MIDAS with my obsession Jang Hyuk because she was in it.

Basically, either one of them in, I am out. The end.

I'm with you on Gu Hye Sun, you summed up my thoughts on her as an actress perfectly. I'm indifferent toward Lee Min Jung; she's annoying and overly cutesy, but I can watch her in something if I can fast forward or if she's a secondary character. (I fast forward to watch Smile, You and Who Are You?).

Aren't Yoochun's character and his female lead supposed to be the same age? That worries me as GHS is two years older than Yoochun. Makes me think there's a better likely hood they'd go with her. (LMJ is six years older) Of course Yoochun looks a bit older than his age, so that might not matter. I'm not sure which girl I'd rather. I may have to just watch the children/teen parts and than leave. It's just too bad all the actresses in this age range ('82-'90) are all either busy with other projects or on breaks.

Is Jung So Min available?

Yeah, this drama is off my list utterly if either one of these is cast.

I would be doing cartwheels if Jung So Min was available! She's one of my faves-such a natural little actress and she'd be marvelous with Yoochun. Its been a dream pairing of mine. Sadly she has already signed up for a cable show and its filming now-she's acting with the wonderful Sung Joon from White Christmas and Flower Boy Band.
