Movie posters for bubbly romance Finding Kim Jong-wook
by javabeans
There can never be too many good frothy-cute romantic comedies out there, as far as I’m concerned (operative word being good), so I’m looking forward to the upcoming movie Finding Kim Jong-wook, which stars two very talented and charismatic actors, Im Soo-jung (I’m Sorry, I Love You) and Gong Yoo (Coffee Prince). The movie has released its first posters, pictured here.
The film is adapted from an original musical of the same name, which premiered in 2006 and became a hit with audiences. The plot kicks off when the heroine (Im Soo-jung), decides to find the first love for whom she still pines, and becomes a client of Gong Yoo, who runs a service dedicated to finding your first love.
(Such a service may rather seem curiously specific to the Western ear, but kdrama fans are probably well aware of that mystical pull of the elusive First Love that exists in Korean culture, and this idea isn’t SO far-fetched. There was even a cable reality program dedicated to a similar premise, called Tracking Your Ex-Boyfriend, which was hosted by Jae Hee and Shin Dong-wook and dispatched its production team to finding erstwhile loves of its participants.)
Of course, Im Soo-jung falls for Gong Yoo in the process. While the film isn’t exactly like the recent smash hit Cyrano Dating Agency, perhaps it’ll ride the wave of its success in the bubbly-rom-com market.
Finding Kim Jong-wook opens in December. Below is a promotional video of clips from the musical on which the movie is based. Looks breezy and fun:
The following is one of the duets featured in the musical, and sung here by Eom Ki-joon (yup, the musical-turned-television actor of dramas The World They Live In and Hero) and Oh Na-ra:

The title of the entry should be "Kim Jong Wook," not "Jae Wook" :P Just as a heads up.
Looking forward to this series!

Ok i just rewatched the trailer and im a bit confused.
It says on that link that Gong Yoo eventually falls in love with his client (Im Soo-jung) right?
Ok but JB says that Im Soo-jung will fall in fall in love with Gong Yoo (of course). So which is it? Im guessing JB made another Boo Boo (error).
WE all love and appreciate you still JB. ^____^

Love Gong Yoo (although GF already claimed him) but I dislike his hairstyle in these posters... It's too clean-cut and sweeped back, but I suppose it's probably meant to fit in with his character.

This is off topic but since he was mentioned I must say a miss Jae Hee so much. Where is he hiding ? Since he was discharged from the army there was no news of his projects.
Please Javabeans do you have any news ?

ahhh Goooong Yooooo!! You have returned. I will never forget how much I loved in you Coffee Prince. You were not much to me in your other movies, sometimes just comic relief, but in Coffee Prince you made me want to be a girl pretending to be a boy... or an alien... or just a girl.
And that bedroom scene.... you know what scene I'm talking about... we didn't get to see much but it was oh so sexy. Rawrrr.
Gong Yoooooo. I will watch this for you.

Omo....I totally looking forward to it!!! I love Gong Yoo and I love Im Soo-Jung even more. She was brilliant in "I´m Sorry but I love you". The drama was so sad and the chemistry between her and So Ji Sub (such an eyecandy) was great. I hope the chemistry between SJ and GY is working out for them, too!XD

They had a scandal before (oh they declared afterwards that it's not right) but anyway, GY and ISJ are close friends and used to be caught going to the airport together. So.. I am excited to see how they react in the new movie.

The movie looks cute and funny. The story sort-of reminds me "Only You" with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr.
It´s definitely in my must watch list!!!

I'll definitely watch this because 2 of my favorite Korean actors are in it. Love Im Soo-jung since I'm Sorry I Love You and of course Gong Yoo from Coffee Prince. I haven't really seen Im do much Romantic Comedy so can't wait how she portrays that. She looks so young for her age. And Gong Yoo looking mighty fine as ever.
Can't wait till I can find a way to download it LOL.

I saw the 4 poster and trailer and I didnt like the posters!!becouse ISJ (she is gorgeous in real life)look same as the movie but goong yoo is not! He act as an googled,insignificant,shy man but in the posters they used the goong yoo not the real character! bad marketing strategy becouse young fans always want to see their idols hot (silly point of view!)but ıf you dont show them the real characters earlier you ruin the expectations easily and the viewer rate decrease! like the cyborg movie! I hope they wont share the same destiny I will be sad for ISJ!!
