Moon Geun-young confirmed for Mary Stayed Out all Night
by javabeans
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.

As a Suk fan, I am really happy that I can see him again. I also like Moon but I know many of her fans protect her a lot in Korea. Last time, there was much noise about the kiss scene of Cin's sister.
I am too worrying that Suk will get anti for this drama......

I must be the only one who's not satisfied with this pairing . I thought My Little Bride was boring and though it's not like I hate her or smth I have yet to see her beauty , she's so thin ... Acting wise I agree she's a good actress but I can't see her as Mary .

You are not the only one.I am not a fan of either of them. Somehow I do not think they pair well together. Also tough competition from Giant and Athena.

I like the pairing. But I'm not really sure with the screenwriter's ability. I didn't really like Goong, to be honest.

Downright awesome pairing!! Even if the storyline of the drama won`t deliver perfectly, will have quality acting, believable chemistry and eye candy to boot!! Can`t wait until November, really!! :D

I've seen this before in oldie movies remade to the present time over and over again in the US. It looks like fun only I wish the current male lead was someone else. Not knowing his acting chops only assuming he has them, but he is playing the same "type" of role again. Does typecasting happen in Korea?

Typecasting does happen but in GeunSeok's case he has had pretty solid roles that were different to his YB role prior to YB (check out Beethoven Virus and Hong Gil Dong) so he has already shown that he can do other stuff as well. Typecasting tends to happen more when people debut with one type of role and continue playing characters that are similar to that role. For example HyunJoong runs the risk of being typecasted since his first two drama roles have a lot of similarities (quiet, mean, serious,a bit 4D) and he has yet to show that he can do other stuff.

I've only ever heard of her and seen her in Cinderella's sister and while I agree, she's got great emotional range, I'm not quite sure how she's going to fit into a rom-com...I think her pouting face has been forever ingrained into my brain

@dramaville, i symphatized with you.. 'coz, i feel the same way too.huhu.. ;-(
i love JGS & PSH as a couple. its hard to get over in YAB.
but i understand also that they're both young and need to grow individually as an actor/actress.
i have nothing against MGY. it's just that i can't help myself from hoping for another project for my YAB couple.

Did I die and go to heaven? Is it true that MGY is FINALLY going to act in a Rom-Com with somebody who is her age?
I think the only dissapointing thing is JGS - he is continuously going on about how he likes 'Renaissance' women (translates as: PSH, otherwise referred to as 'hour-glass figure').
I really, really, really, want MGY to have a full-out scandal with her male lead who can somewhat heal her sorrowful complex with regard to her lack of sexiness (or so she thinks) and child-like body. JGS is just the wrong, wrong guy for MGY for her real-life personality. I feel like this girl is never going to catch a break when it comes to the right guy... but I'm sure they'll both be able to bring it.

I know I'll be in a minority here, but Moon Geun-young is not pretty at all for me. It will be kinda hard for me to root for the main couple, but I'll still watch cos the story sounds fun and JGS is an awesome actor.

Not sure if I like the pairing but I dont like MGYs face for some reason idk. (Only watched 1 thing, maybe this drama will make me like her XD, I hope so, I don't like disliking people ._.)
Still, will be watching because you know, JGS.

So I'm reading this article and I'm looking at the pic of MGY and whose picture should be in the DB banner but none other than our protagonist, JGS, and I'm thinking to myself ... yeah, this is a great pairing.
Although I worshipped MGY and CJM in Cinderella's Sister, I'm looking forward to this pairing as well as at least they're within the same age group (?).
Fingers crossed for a great show!
