Coffee House preview video is out
by javabeans
The teaser video is out for Coffee House, the SBS drama formerly known as Page One, and it’s not half bad. You can’t judge much from a brief 40 seconds, of course, but it looks fun. Also: Kang Ji-hwan! (On a Segway! lolwut?)
This is the first we’ve seen of Kang since his legal dispute with his former management company, and he plays the main character, a bestselling author. He has a romantic storyline with a publishing executive, who is played by Park Shi-yeon (and also, it appears, with former child actor and current girl group member Eun-jung, who plays an employee of the Page One cafe that plays a large role in the story).
I have to say I like this version of Park Shi-yeon a lot more compared to the chic, upscale image she usually portrays. (Oh, she does look the part of those elegant ladies but the acting here seems much more engaging — her character looks like she’s got quite the temper.) And Eun-jung looks cute and natural. I’m not getting too excited just yet, but I am looking forward to it. (Kang! Ji! Hwan!)
Coffee House will air on Mondays and Tuesdays in the earlier hour, to follow Oh My Lady. It premieres May 17.

I saw the beginning of this video when watching OML earlier today, but then it cut off and I was angry. I like it though, it looks really cute and funny so I'll probably check it out.

Eunjung looks so adorable! And yes I'm biased because she's my favorite idol.
Damn, Kang Ji Hwan's smile is killer.

I really like the feel of this drama just from the preview. it doesn't seem typical. And i like this version of Park Shi Yeon better.
Kang Ji Hwan on the segway was the best part!

Since it's been a while that we have last seen KJH (pausing to make sure our JB and @hjkomo ;) and @ samsooki are not dueling out for him), it's nice to see the cheery guy. For some odd reason, I keep waiting for Sung Yu Ri to pop up in the video...

I enjoyed the trailer; it was light and fun as I expected =]
I'm a bit confused, though. Is Park Shi-yeon the "official" female lead, or is it Eun-jung? I would have guessed it to be PSY, but EJ seemed to have more screen time in the short trailer (though that might not mean as much as I'm making it mean).

I hope EunJung's role is MAJOR. She's a very good actress. I just rewatch World of Silence and Death Bell, she's superb in portraying her role.

@7: I think the official lead is Park Shi-yeon, simply just because it makes absolutely no sense that Eun Jung would be the lead. (just going by experience alone)
I really enjoyed the trailer! I can't wait to see this! Kang Ji Hwan is ALWAYS a great excuse to go watch some dramas :D

Not a huge fan of PSY...I wish a less well known actress was doing the female lead. Is that seriously the second male lead?

am i the only one who feel that the vibe the trailer is giving out is one that seems to hint a love relationship that leans towards him and the young girl rather than park shi yeon? though i'm pretty sure this isn't the main pairing... but anyway. it looks really cute. i might just catch this show :) (i'm not a fan of him so haha, we'll see!)

@17
yea, it definitely felt like the young girl was the lead character rather than PSY.
Don't know about this, love KJH so I'll watch pretty much anything he's in but PSY and I have a rockier relationship, disliked her in My Girl, thought she was much better in Marine Boy and was disappointed by her character/performance in Story of A Man.
But still it's Kang Ji-hwan...

I'm a bit confused with who is the main female lead too. I read some articles (a week or two ago maybe?) that said that there would be more than one female lead. If that's true, I'm happy because that makes it more unpredictable. No love square? Just a triangle it seems.

humm, i don't want to get my hopes too high but this looks like a drama I would enjoy... and you're right, PSH looks like she would suit this character rather well... I like EunJung in real life so hope she will do well here...and of course, KJH.!!!
conclusion, I'm excited but still cautious for hoping for too much!

I too, am very excited for Kang Ji Wan's new drama. I think he's going to show a different side from his Capital Scandal/Hong gil dong characters. And I like the vibe the preview has.
For the people curious about the female lead, I doubt it's Eun Jung because this is her first role whereas Park Shi Yeon has been the lead female character in several kdramas already (including the awesome Story of a Man) and would probably not sign up to be relegated to "second female lead" status.

Lol! I seriously thought that the girl to the far right in the first picture was Park Shin Hye from You're Beautiful! They both got the messy short hair.

First Jin-Ho in Personal Taste, and now KJH is wearing floods with canvas shoes. Must be the new fashion trend. These two would look good in anything!

Those are following Harvest Villa... don't Shin Ha Kyun (Bok Gyu) and K!J!H! look alike, especially in that black and white picture that Bok Gyu hangs on his wall? methinks it's the endearing smile.. no?

I dont really understand all this Kang Ji Hwan hype. He isn't exactly what is generally considered "handsome". I mean, he's definitely no So Ji Sub (i use him as a comparison because of their movie together). And he isnt known as one of the great actors of Korea either. To me, he comes off very smug at times.

That trailer did nothing for me! Not good enough. Kang JiHwan's character is stylin' though! Woot~woot! Please bring back for me a fashionisto spirit of HanGyul [from 'Coffee Prince'] within Kang JiHwan's character. I miss HanGyul very much. Keke. I can adapt to a new kdrama niche.

May 3, 2010 at 8:58 PM
i think park shi yeon is more likeable here because she has a rounder character...
when she is playing the cool chic elegant characters it kinda falls flat with me because... truth to tell those characters are so boring...
but even so... more than park shi yeon, eunjung and kang ji hwan pull me more in the previews...

Also, I totally choked on my tea when I saw the brother from Last Scandal in the trailer. I really liked him there, and I like that he appears to have a much more upbeat character here..

Well to me, it looks like EJ is the female lead. It could be the opposite, and although I know it's still early to say anything based on a 40sec preview but it seems like both girls will fall in love with KJH's character, and I guess KJH will have some feelings for EJ (?) later.
And yeah, I love PSY here. It's kinda different from her previous roles.

*btw eventhough I love EunJung and she's quite good in acting, I have a feeling I'm not gonna like her character lol. I kinda like PSY's character more. EJ's character reminds me of YEH in Coffee Prince (not because of the hair, but maybe the way she talks and the way she behaves with the guy), and I don't like Go Eun Chan lol.

Obviously you guys have not read the previous articles about this series. Of course PSY is the lead. She has more acting experience than Eun Jung.
I love Eun Jung more. Never seen her act though. But she's so cute. I think she's cuter than PSY.
Never really impressed by PSY. She's one of those actresses that you easily forgets. But i dont hate her. I'm waiting for the way where she would wow me. lolz
