Moon Geun-young confirmed for Mary Stayed Out all Night

Moon Geun-young and Jang Geun-seok in a romantic comedy together? Yeah, I’ll be watching.

Mary Stayed Out All Night is the manhwa adaptation that features Jang Geun-seok as a hippie musician, and now Moon will be signing up for a contract marriage with his character. Her Mary role is the daughter of a failed businessman and falls into a love triangle with an indie-band singer (Jang) and a perfect chaebol (as yet uncast).

Moon has been busy in her theatrical debut with the stage play Closer since August, and will jump into the drama as soon as the play wraps in October. It’ll premiere on KBS in October, airing on Mondays and Tuesdays after Sungkyunkwan Scandal wraps.

Seriously, sign me up! Moon has long been considered one of the best actresses of her generation, and she can wring emotion and intensity out of confused chaos (see: Cinderella’s Sister). She has, however, shied away from the romantic comedy genre, and I’d LOVE to see her tackle something light and fun. (Jang, as we know, is great in trendies.) The only rom-com I’ve seen her in is My Little Bride, which was AGES ago, but she was adorable in it.

Agreed, MGY has blossomed over the past couple of years and has become quite cute.

As for JGS, he's a bit too effeminate-looking to be regarded as handsome (I guess "pretty" will do).

Anyway, MGY definitely has the chops to do a romantic comedy, not sure about JGS.

JGS just did in his last drama. No doubt in my mind he got ablility to do well in a romantic drama.

The Mumsome watched You're Beautiful with me and the first thing she commented about JGS were that he looked like a ladyboy, or in our Canto slang - 'agua'... (colloquially)...

He's really beautiful... LOL.
I once saw a performance of his during MKMF in drag and I could barely recognise him...

She is actually quite pretty naturally and when she is completely made up she is down right beautiful. Also when they co-presented at the paeksang they looked fine together. You should wait to watch them on screen together before making any judgements. I mean I would of never imagined that Moon Geun Yeung and Kim Rae Won would work and they were down right adorable in My Little Bride.

good is an understatement. she's the best actress of her generation. let's see if JGS's acting can be at par with MGY. so far in PotW and CS she outshined her leading men. she totally owned those 2 dramas, I'm not surprised if it'll happen here also.

Totally agree. The pairing is cute. That's no question! The question is can JGS be on par with MGY in acting. I mean, even Park Shin Yang got outshined by her

Required fields are marked *

I would have to agree with you on this one. I'm probably a minority in this opinion but I'm not fond of Moon. I don't find her appealing at all and I'm quite disappointed because I'm a big fan of JGS. I'm still holding onto a sliver of hope that things may change.

Really cannot wait for November... (or is it October?)

I've been yearning to see them in a screen together other than award shows for a while now. This news really made my day... \(^o^)/

Hopefully the rest of the cast would be good too. And hopefully the scripts wouldn't disappoint. They would really need it to face Athena and Queen in rating battle... ^^;;

Correct me if I'm wrong.... For some reason in my head I have classified this as a short drama, as in 4 episodes. Is this true or is it a regular full-length show?

Either way it sounds like it will be fun.

Oh my god, I was keeping my hopes way down thanks to something known as Playful Kiss (remember when it was rumored to be Lee Bo Young & Lee Min Ho, and turned out to be Jung So Min (not bad) and Kim Hyun Joong (um, no)?) But since it's confirmed, I can dance as I wish.

Yay yay yay yay!! I adore both the actors and actresses, who has acting ability and charisma in spades. Not to mention beauty.

Oh wow. Now I HAVE to watch it. She's such a compelling actress, and pretty much the only reason I stuck with Cinderella's Sister.

And, yeah. My Little Bride was adorabubbles. I remember being pleasantly shocked since I watched it after CS and did not know she was so *cute*.

The story still does nothing for me but I cannot miss it now.

Every now and then, JB, I have to marvel at the amazingly mature and impartial tone you keep up on this website. For instance:

"(Jang, as we know, is great in trendies.)"

Translate--

"JGS brings it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know it, suckers!!" That's how I would have conveyed the same idea, I think. I could never be a good blogger.

I think I almost cried from happiness! Well, it's kind of hard NOT to get excited about this drama...but I'm going to try real hard not to have super high expectations until I know who the rest of the cast and production team is. Knock on wood!

this news made my day! i really love these two! they finally team up after being together as presenters in various award shows =D both are good in acting and have huge fan base. competitions on that time slot would be tough, but with JGS and MGY already onboard, this drama is destined to succeed!
