Kim Ye-won goes from Ramyun Shop to Operation Proposal
by javabeans
Kim Ye-won had memorable roles in Romance Town (as one of the maids) and Sunny, which she followed up with Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, playing serial dater Dong-joo. Now she’s been added to fantasy-romance Operation Proposal, which stars Yoo Seung-ho as the hero who time-travels to his teenage years to get things right the second time with his first love, played by Park Eun-bin.
Kim Ye-won’s character is Yoo Chae-ri, best friend to heroine Yi-seul (Park Eun-bin), and is modeled after the Eri character from the Japanese drama. She’s been on the object of affection of a fourth character, Tae-nam (played by Park Young-seo, who was Queen Seon-deok’s Dae-poong), for the past twelve years. Apparently when our hero utilizes the “time slip,” Chae-ri is the one who undergoes the most change.
With a number of supporting roles in recent popular projects, it looks like Kim Ye-won’s star is on the rise. She didn’t have much to do in Ramyun Shop, but I’ve heard great things about her from her other projects, particularly Romance Town, and I think she’s got a pretty sharp sense of comic timing. Hopefully this drama will be another step up on her career ladder.
Writing the drama is Boys Before Flowers’ Yoon Ji-ryun, while PD Kim Woo-sun has worked on dramas Can’t Stop and You Are Quite Beautiful.
Operation Proposal airs in February on cable channel TV Chosun.

Honestly though the writing of BOF was not great, it was the directing and acting that made it suck so much.

UGHH same reaction NOOO.
The writer better not ruin Operation Proposal as well.
also @ Laica: Honestly it was a combination of all three (plus editing) sucking (apart from Lee Min Ho, who pretty much saved the drama).

Whoa, this Park Young-seo is easy on the eyes. For a sec there he made me think of Ninomiya Kazunari. A buffer version of Nino. Hahaha. I'm still not a fan of ProDai, butI might give this version a chance.

Er, I think I meant thicker version of Nino, not necessarily THAT buff though.... Note to self: Google for some shirtless pictures..

Oh, I see. She was hilarious there. I remember that she reminded me of Kim Ah Joong a bit when I saw the movie for the first time.

I'm looking forward to this, always love the story line of going back in time - 17 Again, Time After Time, The Butterfly Effect - all the various ways to explore it are enjoyable for me!

Kim Ye Won has definitely been building up her resume. I remember seeing her in a lot of projects this year.
The jdrama was cute, but unmemorable. I don't think I ever managed to watch all the episodes... I'll be looking forward to this for the adorable chemistry between the leads :) The writing... I have no expectations for because Boys Over Flowers just... :X

If you this drama is only cute, we don't see the same drama. This drama is metaphysical, philosophical, nostalgic, a story about the time who is gone, a story about love, life and frienship; about regrets.

Aww, she's cute and funny. I know a little girl (half Japanese, half Filipino) and she looks exactly like Ms. Kim. Coincidentally, the little girl's name is Kim.
KYW sings too. Her song on New Tales of Gisaeng (under her real name) haunted me for a long time. http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView.do?clipid=31186288

awesome! i love her. i'm not thrilled about prodai but i'll check it out probably for the cast, since i'm also not thrilled about a writer who managed somehow to screw up the hanadan story.
prodai was useless in that he didn't /do/ anything on his trips back, not really. it had a nice vibe, though. also: catchphrases! don't knock new york/hallelujah chance!
