Yoon Eun-hye makes drama comeback in Love Song
by javabeans
Whoa, I was NOT expecting this, but I think I like it: Yoon Eun-hye has been cast in upcoming drama series Love Song, the remake of the epic Hong Kong romance Tian Mi Mi (Comrades: Almost a Love Story). The original 1996 film spanned ten years and starred Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung.
The drama series has already cast its lead male in Park Yong-ha, which makes this a high-profile pairing. I’d heard that the drama was looking for two big Hallyu names to expand on its international appeal, and with these two, they’ve certainly got that punch. Park is one of those actors who is probably, comparatively speaking, more famous abroad as a “Hallyu star” than he is at home, thanks to hits like Winter Sonata and On Air. And Yoon Eun-hye is just about the biggest name actress of her age range, both at home and abroad.
In Love Song, Yoon plays Yoo Chae-hwa, a hard-working woman who comes to live in Korea from China. Chae-hwa is very innocent and is described as “the one unforgettable love for one man.”
U.S. studio Warner Bros. has expressed interest in buying the Stateside broadcast rights to the kdrama. The production company is currently in the process of negotiating licensing rights to 11 Asian countries, as well as arranging overseas location shoots. Writing is Oh Soo-yeon of earlier Hallyu hits Winter Sonata and Autumn Love Story, while the director is Ji Young-soo of Oh Pil-seung Bong Soon-young. (He also did Yoon’s ill-fated My Fair Lady last summer, but let’s just forget about that hot mess. His 2007 Flowers For My Life, on the other hand, was lovely.)
This ought to be Yoon’s most challenging role to date. She has a wonderful way of immersing herself in her characters, but I think her range is narrow — she’s brilliant in heartfelt, warm roles like Coffee Prince, but lackluster when putting on a persona that’s very different from her easy-going real-life persona, as in My Fair Lady. I look forward to Park Yong-ha, having come around to him rather late in his career with last year’s fantastic Story of a Man.
Love Song will begin filming in August and plans to air toward the end of the year.

Whoever is paired with Yoon Eun Hye will be great. As long as the drama shooting starts and aired soon this year. Everybody in Asia and many Asian fans of korean drama are eagerly waiting for the next YEH drama. Fans in Japan, the USA, everybody are waiting for the next news about Love Song drama and all the stars with YEH in the drama should be cast soon. Great to know that YEH is back in korean drama!

Honestly, the one reason why I admire YEH (or so to speak am a super crazy fan) is because she stands different from the other actresses. She uses her talent and fame to care for the blind or the physically handicapped. &Always maintains a positive attitude and gratitude whenever things are not going her way (like when people criticized her for her acting skills). However, I believe in YEH, and I know that she will study very hard (as she always does for every project) before entering her character in 'Love Song'. She's got a lot of potential as she takes in critiques and teachings well and is always versatile in that she can change in many forms (princess > acting as a boy?? LOL) Well yeah, and what really matters is is that she is very determined to please her fans. That's why she was always so hesitant in doing her next project because ppl would always judge her. But she still remained positive and appreciative for those who are willing to mold her into the flawless actress!(: <33

Hoping for the best. And the best could be an Eric Mun-Yoon Eun Hye tandem. Can't wait for their reunion since X-Man days.

i just felt bad when Park Yong Ha committed suicide before filming this drama. i believe it'll be one of the best, because lead actors are great. Yoon Eun Hye and Park Yong Ha, both of them are the best in drama. :(
