Lee Ki-woo joins “A Star’s Lover”
by javabeans
Lee Ki-woo (A Love to Kill, Someone Behind You) is joining Hallyu heavyweights Choi Ji-woo and Yoo Ji-tae in their upcoming romantic drama A Star’s Lover.
The new SBS Wednesday-Thursday series will take over after Painter of the Wind wraps, and is written by Oh Soo-yeon (Winter Sonata, Autumn Fairy Tale, All About Eve) and directed by Bu Sung-chul (Lobbyist).
While Yoo Ji-tae plays a part-time university instructor who falls in love with top actress Choi Ji-woo, Lee Ki-woo steps into the role of a CEO from a wealthy family who becomes the third leg of the love triangle. Sounds like pretty standard stuff — but the thing I find funny about this casting is because I personally think Lee Ki-woo looks a lot like Yoo Ji-tae (at right). Don’tcha think?
And, given that they’re playing rivals and not brothers, it’ll be a bit weird seeing two tall, facially similar men duking it out to win over Choi Ji-woo. Plus it’ll add (for me at least) a weird, unintentional Freudian undertone — who knows, maybe they’ll show a flashback and have both guys alternating in the role of Choi’s father, which oughtta go a long way to explaining the resemblance.
Hey, Oh Soo-yeon wrote Autumn Fairy Tale — creepy Freudian undertones are not unknown to her.

oh my, you're right they're almost the exact same...to jiwoo who enters the wrong suite at night after lots of bar hopping (maybe a silly nod to her "redfaced" pic with chow yun-fat :P ), and mistakes one man for another! aside from such potentially lurid plotting, this just invites the "all asian actors look alike" potshots :D

I love Lee Ki Woo i think he's adorable..who knows maybe they'll make them brothers of different mother hahaha and Yoo JiTae is the illegitimate son--born of an affair that's why Lee KI Woo is a CEO and the other is just a professor-- like you mentioned it's the writer of Autumn Tale..so this will probably be interesting and I'll definitely watch it coz of Choi Ji Woo hehe

Lee Ki Woo looks too young as some kind of CEO. :D
But then this is a good news, because I have a friend who likes him, and she'll be thrilled to see a new drama of Ki Woo.
I'm not a fan of Choi Ji Woo - she looks always sad to me - so, I don't really look forward this.

it's true! they do look alike! someone posted this news on soompi and they had a picture of the 4 main/supporting actors/actresses and when i looked at it, i was like why is Yoo Ji Tae's picture up there twice? and then i looked back and realized it was Lee Ki Woo. I've never watched any of YJT's works, but i am a big of that tall hottie Lee Ki Woo :D

I have always found them to be very similar! Lee Ki-woo is amazingly tall. I'll probably be around his waist. :(
I wonder what will happen if they put Kim Bum Yoo Ji Tae, and Lee Ki Woo in the same room. LOL

i like choi ji woo in this drama.she's funny in her.i like lee ki woo he's cool.but there' nothing wrong being young as CFO in this drama and chasing ji woo. ji woo she's not that old.all ji woo's haters are loser.i'm sorry i didn't mean it.but just leave her alone.don't make comments about her if you don't like her.
