Lee Seon-kyun and Choi Kang-hee’s Petty Romance begins
by javabeans
Choi Kang-hee (Aeja) and Lee Seon-kyun (Pasta) are re-teaming in a new romantic comedy, called Petty Romance [쩨쩨한 로맨스], two years after acting together in the drama My Sweet Seoul. Filming has begun on the film, which is described as a unique romance between an artist-writer of adult manhwa books and a fake sex columnist.
In Petty Romance, Lee Seon-kyun plays a by-the-book (no pun intended) manhwa-ka whose storytelling skills are notably worse than his drawing ability. Choi Kang-hee’s character graduated from a prestigious university and is trying to find employment, and acts as a fake sex columnist on the side. That wording confuses me, but I’m guessing it means that she’s a sham as a columnist. In any case, she ends up becoming an adult manhwa story-writer, presumably through association with Lee’s character.
I enjoyed their rapport in My Sweet Seoul (even if I hated Choi’s character, which is the sole reason I couldn’t finish the drama), but this movie looks like it’ll take their dynamic in the other direction entirely. Where they were sweet and thoughtful in Seoul, the story and relationships in Petty Romance appear more risque, which I’d really enjoy seeing. (But for the mustache…! You’re killing me, Mr. Voice.)
Petty Romance is planning for a late-2010 release.

That's exactly what I thought when I read that too! Maybe she'll gain some experience with Mr. Voice....? xD
But actually, the ahjussi mustaches are killing all of the great looking guys. Seriously. Stop. With. The. Mustache.
Frankly, NO ONE looks good with a mustache. If you can call 10 hairs that.

Maybe she's like Ko Hyun Jung's character Byung Hee in 'What's Up Fox' who's editor of Korean's 'Playboy' (C'est si Bon) and writes supposedly sexy stories but has no real-life 'sexperience'.

I stared at LSK's crotch for the last 5 minutes trying to figure out whether his fly was open. Conclusion: No, it's not... and I'm a perv.

i hate all stache but i have to say Mr Voice is working it. With the hair combo, his character screams sleazdorable. yum. but stache needs to stay on that level of subtlety. any denser and it will fail.

Ironic mustaches are currently a slacker/hipster uniform so I would think he has the mustache for the role where it sounds as if it fits perfectly.

Down with the pornstache!
I love Lee Seon-Kyun and will watch him in anything he does. I hope that thing is only for the character and will disappear once he is finshed with the movie.
Again Down With The Pornstache!

LSG is so busy these days. Well, it's all good for him. I think this mustache can stay as long as it doesn't get too thick. Seriously this porn-staches are grossing me out (I'm looking at you Kim Nam-gil) and they need to stop. NOW.

Ahahaha~ checkin' out his Star Wars tee... he looks more like Yoda than Darth Vader in those pics (don't be fooled by his deep voice).
He's been picking some pretty risque characters for himself eh. Maybe he's compensating for something lacking at home, since many say a baby can flicker off the flames of romance. It's healthy to be imaginative without crossing the line since it's a part of his job.
Oh, JB reduced to page 50 instead page 100 comments; makes reading things more quicker than before. You da woman!

Just curious, I can't think of anyone at the moment.

To stop all this moustache phenomennon, we need equal sacrifice from the dark side.
Cha Seung Won must shave his face clean. Yep.
