Gong Yoo in his double roles for Big

The next Hong Sisters drama Big has started filming (Woot!), and it’s not much, but here’s a peek at leading man Gong Yoo playing both of his characters on the first day of the shoot. Since it’s not a rapidly-aging drama so much as a body-possession drama, he’ll be playing two different characters in one body, rather than one character of differing ages (which is too bad, but that ship has sailed).

The above is the 30-year old character, doctor Seo Yoon-jae, who’s described as the warm, perfect boy next door type. He has a fiancée, played by Lee Min-jung, who’s going to endure a lot of confusing behavior once the soul of a teenage boy enters her once-perfect boyfriend’s body. Gah, words cannot describe how excited I am for the age-inappropriate hijinks.

Then the 18-year old soul is Kang Kyung-joon, and the original Kyung-joon will be played by Shin Won-ho (Bachelor’s Vegetable Store), who you’ll more likely recognize from those Skin Food ads (pictured below). Apparently Gong Yoo shot his Yoon-jae scenes first, and then reappeared on set as Kyung-joon in rumpled clothes and hair, talking like a dopey teenager, and had the crew in stitches.

At least with the body swap storyline we don’t have to buy Gong Yoo AS a high-schooler, so much as just a strange grown-man-looking, teenage-walk-and-talking man-boy. Not that he looks THAT different from his Biscuit Teacher days, but who’re we kidding, he didn’t really look like a high-schooler then either.

So because this is a body-switcheroo, Yoon-jae’s soul gets stuffed into Kyung-joon’s body too — and he happens to be a student in Lee Min-jung’s class. She plays Gil Da-ran, who besides being Yoon-jae’s fiancée, is a teacher at the high school where our younger cast all go to school. Eep! Kyung-joon happens to be her worst trouble student, whom she deems hopeless, and then suddenly she finds herself the object of Kyung-joon’s affections. Er, I guess technically they’re Yoon-jae’s affections, since it’s Yoon-jae-in-Kyung-joon’s-body, but she doesn’t know that. Well now THIS isn’t going to be complicated or anything.

I do find it adorable that Yoon-jae-as-Kyung-joon will suddenly go from troublemaker to straight-A student, if he’s the perfectionist who grew up to be a doctor. Of course Kyung-joon has his own love interest, Suzy, who body-possessed Gong Yoo will be chasing around like a lovesick puppy. You mean at the high school where his body’s fiancée is the teacher? OMG. All these hijinks! CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Big premieres in June on KBS.

i love the hong sisters but im kinda scared this will be like 49 days in terms of character chemistry...

the main leads have a lot of chemistry but since their souls is switcheroos...we cant decide if we want the main characters bodies/faces together or their souls together...

there would be alot of scenes with Lee Min Jung and Gong Yoo (high school soul) but since his soul is in Shin Won-ho's body with Suzy...its gonna be very confusing on who to root for

Late casting for Shin won-ho?
Dramawiki still listed Baek Sung-Hyun as Kang Kyung-Joon, which left me confused.

I really want his sweatpants in that bottom picture!! D: I saw them on an actress I liked too and was like..where?? Where do I find them??

Same here, canxi. The only difference is that I want the sweatpants, WITH GY inside. Err, should it be inside or outside?? Frankly, I am losing all sense of directions when it comes to GY. Giddy with them, happiness, I guess ^_^

OK. I wasn't sold on it at first, but this drama is taking the good road. Gong Yoo looks so young on the last pic: Wah!

I do have to say that...cigar size...does seem to come up a lot in Gong Yoo's roles =X Both Coffee Prince and Hello My Teacher feature jokes on the topic.

Not that I'm keeping track or anything.

Really? i did not notice them. in which scenes? pls tell me so i could review. thanks.

I'm not sure exactly where they were, but the Coffee Prince "cigar" scene was in the first episode, when Han Gyul was wrapped in a towel drying his feet and caught Eun Chan staring...you know where. He then said something about "Am I that impressive?" And there's some sort of quasi-stripping scene (but not really, because this is wholesome Korean drama) toward the middle of Hello My Teacher. When Gong Yoo's character steps on stage the commentator says something about "It's not what you see, but what you _don't_ see" followed by a suggestive hand gesture on Gong Yoo's part.

(God. Too bad I can't remember things that actually *matter* with that kind of recall.)

If only it wasn't a hong sisters drama.

I don't like their dramas so much.

And this drama reminds me of 18vs.19!

But with this cast I might check out!

If they want to keep it real, they should have drug company pens coz that's what doctors normally use. :)

those pens could be children's meds manufacturer's giveaways. ;) the prints are usually on the pens' body, which in the pic, are hidden from view.

but for me, Doc Gong Yoo can pull off the look even sans drug company pens. ;)
