Gong Yoo makes his acting comeback!

Gong Yoo was just released from military service last December, and has been enjoying a short break while looking for the follow-up to his last acting role, which was in 2007’s smash drama Coffee Prince. Now he’s announced his casting for the film Finding Kim Jong-wook, which is based on a stage musical. His co-star is his friend Im Soo-jung, with whom you may recall he was once caught up in dating rumors.

In the movie, Im Soo-jung plays a woman named Seo Ji-woo who had met her first love on a trip to India. She embarks on a search to find him, the titular Kim Jong-wook, starting off a comic series of events. In the process of looking for her first love, she falls in love instead with the man helping her on the search (Gong Yoo).

As he left the public eye at the height of his fame, Gong Yoo has been flooded with offers for dramas and films — more than 30 in total — since his return to civilian life. The musical premiered in 2006 and was a popular production, running nearly 1,200 performances.

YAY!...there is something seriously up with my luck this week...like a few days ago i was thinking about jangeun suk and the rumors about him in the kim wa petto remake, which was here like ages ago, and then i come here a few mins later and the first thing i see is that he has been confirmed...and then today i was looking through some coffee prince songs and thinking about gong yoo and wondering why it was taking him sooo long to find a project..and then I come back here again..and THIS!!..im sooooo excited!!

@ mina

Yes it does sound a lot like Jab We Met, which was a pretty sweet film and one of my favourite Bwood films. If there is the slightest, thinnest possibility that Gong Yoo is coming to India, I shall cancel all my plans for canceling my trip to India and be there, hang the cost!

The plot somehow reminds me of the movie "Only You" starring Marissa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr.

Nevertheless, I'm glad that I'll be able to see Gong Yoo face again on screen. :)

Wait, wait, wait!

Hold on a second!

The summary sounds SOO familiar. It seems like two movies put together that recently released to theatres (not sure if they're still in the theatres now though).

Nonetheless, it seems interesting enough.

@14 cingdoc

Yay for you!!! @langdon813 alerted you but she's nowhere to be found these days on DB. :-(

I missed her cheerful posts and all the other 'regulars' ie @ockoala, hjkomo, mookie, samsooki... to name a few. Have they all moved to another 'playground'? :-)

@35 simplesim
:) The regulars are still around( for example, @Samsooki recapped Chuno 15, and the 'others" commented too). I think we all are just busy....thanks for "missing" us ,though :)

GY has the guy next door feel to him. Somehow this moment is best suitable for Taylor Swift's "Girl Next Door" MV starring GY as male lead.

I'm antsy to see his lovable smile all over again. I miss him so much after Coffee Prince.

It'll be interesting seeing these two actors sharing screen space. I really liked her in Happiness and MiSa. She has the whole meek-and-docile-yet-still-likable thing nailed. I find her acting style similar to Gong Hyo Jin. Similar, not identical.
Gong Yoo is just yum. 'Nuff said.
