Su Ae cast in Kim Soo-hyun’s Forget Me Not
by girlfriday
Looks like the first big star is lined up for highly anticipated drama Forget Me Not, from star writer Kim Soo-hyun (Life Is Beautiful). The lead role will be played by Su Ae, who is one of those rare actresses who is awesome at EVERYTHING: drama, comedy, action. I haven’t seen her mime, but I bet she’s good at that too.
I think I love her best when she’s light and breezy a la Bottom of the 9th with 2 Outs, but she kicked some serious ass in Athena, despite all the boys around her being super lame. It looks like she’ll mostly be stretching her melodrama muscles for this project though, as she will be playing a character who is slowly losing her memory.
I know what you’re thinking — is the male lead going to have a rapidly increasing memory, so they’ll be diametric opposites like every k-drama ever? No, no memory superpowers for him. He’ll be the “absolute pure” soul who stays by her side and takes on the burden of her failing memory because he loves her.
Whoa, that sounds… not light, that’s for sure. I envision many tears, at floodgate volumes. If this is the story, I’m not sure if I want Song Seung-heon to be the frontrunner for the male lead, just because he’s played this guy A LOT. Many many times, over many many years, and I was just starting to think he was getting somewhere on the rom-com train.
Though the male lead has yet to be finalized, a child actor has been cast. Yang Han-yeol, aka Ding Dong of Best Love, will be joining the production, though there are no details yet on his character. He did a great job as Dokko Jin’s only friend who championed his relationship with Ae-jung, and I’m glad his run as Pororo hawker kid matchmaker scored him another high profile role. I don’t think I’ll ever forget his particularly heartbreaking apology for selling his buddy up the river for a bucket of doughnuts. Heh.
Forget Me Not will take over Warrior Baek Dong-soo‘s Monday-Tuesday slot on SBS in September.
Now that I know the premise, I’m a little warier of this drama, but we’ll see what the tone is like at the outset. There’s a chance that it’s a funny, uplifting kind of memory loss, right? Er… right?

Jgs hasn't signed for any drama this year ...why not him???, he's awesome at everything, also ...i miss him, i miss him sooo much...i'd be jealous the whole drama, since he chose her as her ideal girl u.u , but it would be wonderful to have him in a more serious role, sighs

actually, i don't like the way she looks in the picture - her lips too thick, her nose too big, her eyes freaky.... imo, she's much more beautiful without too much make up.

She looks stunning in the photo. Her lips, eyes everything is gorgeous. You can tell she's a great actress cause that is some emoting she's doing right there.
I would like to see So Ji sub with soo ae but he's doing a similar kind of film (where he stands by a woman slowly losing her sight)
Don't know who the male lead could be but I am intrigued by Song Seung Heon. I'm opposite of most people, I don't want to see him in any more rom coms, wasn't a fan of My Princess. More melos, SSH!

Wait, is Song Seung Hun in the run to play the male read? If so, I don't mind it but I would MUCH rather have Kwon Sang Woo!
If not him, why not someone like Lee Jung Jin! I would love for he & Su Ae to reunite in this Kdrama again! I loved them in 9 End 2 Outs!

Hey Hey! You all have a great idea for choosing any different actors, Bravo-Bravo!

WON BIN!!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!!

I second this. WON BIN!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!! WON BIN!! :)
WB is not only gorgeous but is superb when it comes to acting (to think that he is shy in real life, it only proves how great an actor he is).

I think this is what she meant. WB is a chameleon when it comes to acting, he can easily adapt to the character and he played the it so well that's why when you watch one of his films you wouldn't think that this man is actually shy in real life to the point that people think that he's introvert. :)
I swear you'll start to love him when you watch the man from nowhere and taegukgi. :D

The premise of the drama reminds of this American tv show called "Samantha Who?" starring Christina Applegate. Such a good show; sad that it only aired for two seasons, but good nonetheless. Looking forward to this drama.

I totally agree Maria!!!
All together now:
WON BIN! WON BIN! WON BIN! WON BIN!
He was stellar in Endless Love and he stoled that show from SSH (well at least for me!) so he should get this role!!!!
WON BIN please let your awesome prescence grace the small screen once again!!!

I would love to see her with Kim Suk Hoon... I'm watching Twinkle right now and loving him....hehehe...
The story sounds similar to the movie A Moment To Remember?
Can't wait to see her come back from the break. Good news!

I hope it's gonna be different from "A Moment to Remember"--you know, Son Ye Jin losing memory from Alzheimer, Jung Woo Sung patiently taking care of her until one day she decides he shouldn't do it anymore.
And as much as I like Song Seung Heon, I'd like to see someone else play the poor guy. And I totally agree that we should see him playing something lighter, funnier, in a rom-com. I mean, the guy obviously has the talent. I'm seeing it, so why isn't he? Or his agent, for that matter?

I'm not a fan of Korean dramas, but after watching Song Seung Heon and Kim Tae Hee in My Princess, I've started looking for their dramas. KTH was very good in MP and she acted very naturally. She is a very very attractive lady. I really like her, but disappointed with her dressing when she was in Vietnam for the charity event. SSH is now my favorite Korean actor. Will watch him in any show. Hope to see him again in serious roles like East of Eden. JJ from down south
