Kim Da-hyun joins Twelve Men in a Year

Here’s the first of Yoon Jin-seo‘s twelve men to romance. (How’s a girl get that job?) Musical actor Kim Da-hyun, who you might recognize from Warrior Baek Dong-soo or Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, has been cast as the first of the dozen suitors in tvN’s Twelve Men in a Year, due out next month. A little more of the story has been revealed as well, and so far, I like what I see.

Yoon Jin-seo will play Miru, a magazine journalist who starts a new dating column where she dates twelve men in a year, one for each astrological sign. Oh interesting. I like that she’s a writer and that it’s an assignment, rather than just a crazy experiment. I mean, it’s still a crazy experiment, but now there’s some motivation behind it. Previous articles had just described it as her last-ditch effort to find a guy when she turns 29 and faces what she thinks is the end of her dating life.

Kim Da-hyun will play Aquarius, aka Man Number One when she starts the column. His character’s name is Hyun-woo, and he’s a university physics professor, and pretty much Mr. Perfect. He’s described as gorgeous, gentle, kind and rational, and stirs Miru’s heart for the first time in a long time. He’ll be the first guy who makes her think that it might be love, but also the guy to teach her that men aren’t quite as easy to figure out as she thought.

The cast also includes Go Jun-hee as a photographer on the magazine’s staff, and Ohn Joo-wan as the one guy in her life that isn’t classified by his astrological sign. I hope this is a best-friend rom-com in disguise, ’cause those are my absolute favorite.

Twelve Men in a Year premieres February 15 on tvN.

I actually kind of hated him in Biscuit Teacher (and by 'kind of' I mean 'totally and utterly'.), but I've not seen him in anything else, so hopefully he won't creep me out as much in this drama. *holds thumbs*

Totally agree! I mean the character was creepy as well, what with the being-obsessed-with-your-female-student-for-years thing, but the actor made it worse. He was so eeeew. But he looks better here.

He looks different, like more manly. I have not seen him in any other drama. Good to see him back.

I was trying hard to remember who he was, but thanks for pointing it out! Ahhh I thought he was creepy~ Biscuit Teacher is one of the dramas I remember fondly (for the leads), but he is one character I have clearly erased from my mind lol

I agree 100% i just wanted the parts with him to be over, in what I otherwise thought was a great drama.

Me too want to apply for that job ! Or i will invent mine, on the same vein.
I smell this show as a mega hit.
Imagine falling for the first guy of the panel, and then you got to keep going on duty, sacrificing yourself because it's a mission for your glorious boss. Then Mr Perfect Aquarius dying of jealousy and getting puppeteer on the heroin ? I'm already drooling on my keyboard...

First, this totally flew past my radar, but I am excited for a new romcom with such a quirky premise. I'm a sap for romance, funny, and quirk so this is right up my alley.

And finally
"Yoon Jin-seo‘s TWELVE MEN to romance. (How’s a girl get that job?)"

Seriously, how do I sign up for that gig?

Who was he in Warrior Baek Dung Soo. I've watched WBDS but can't recall what has his character there.

He was the artist/historian who catalogued their story, and fell in love with Jin-ju, because she's awesome, and goddamnit, everyone should've loved her!
*cough* Dong-soo *cough*

LOL!

Oh yesh, he's the artist. So cute in WBDS.(sigh) But he looks hot here. ^_*

Thanks for the reminder! I thought his adoration of Jin-ju was adorable though a bit stalkerish... His characters have been a bit creepy, but in this case, it was cuter than creepy lol I never finished Warrior BDS because I did not agree with where the pairing of DS-JJ was going. Sigh

This reminds me of two things actually:
-This one short asian drama where it's a series of "one-shot" like moments between couples with different zodiac signs
-This bollywood movie where this guy goes out with different girls, each with a different zodiac sign.

Anyone know the name of either of these? :D

It also kind of reminds me of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" because of it being a magazine assignment.

That was my first thought too! I like that movie, Hudson was actually acceptable there.

But 12 of them is much better, I wonder if she wud breakup with them to move to the next by doing crazy things like in How To Lose... :p

I had predicted that she would date the men according to their zodiac b/c of "What's Your Rashee?" :D

Do you live in the U.S.? If so, how do you feel about SOPA/PIPA? If they pass, you wouldn't be able to keep this blog anymore.

honestly, I am an art teacher. I have studied art with I dunno, 25 different teachers (well if you just cound drawing). and even though they were all freaks, they were pure innocence compared to what this guys character was like in BTSC. BITCH? yeah. he was creepy, so he is a complete turn-off at first. and it is not jsut the character. I tohught he was a lousy actor. and I hardly will believe there will be much improvement.
but seriously. that art teacher character puts all art teachers in shame. I am so angry at that. It aint true. we arent obsessed manics...ok we sort of are, but not about our students... well, some. ok, we are crazy. so? can still have better actors to be played by right.

the story of this drama seems kind of old as concept I think I have seen at least 12 of those for each months.

I know this is an old article but I just found it.

I knew his face was familiar and I had a "D'oh" moment when I read he was in BTSC.

As to what everyone is saying about his performance in BTSC, I don't agree. I don't think he was creepy (that much). I just think the character was more of a douchebag than else. If I was Na Bo Ri when he showed her the ALBUMS he had of his stalking, I would have been BEYOND livid. Not because the pictures were creepy, but because it's been 6 years since those pics were taken. This is all his love means? Why didn't he look for her after she graduated? Douchebag.

Anyway, I haven't seen anything with Yoon Jin-seo sadly. But I plan to rectify that real soon. And I'm excited about the premise of this show. I'm really interested to see this drama.
