Yoon Eun-hye joins Yoochun in I Miss You
by girlfriday
Finally, a leading lady! I was beginning to think they were going to shoot this drama without her. Confirmations are in that Yoon Eun-hye will be starring opposite Yoochun in the upcoming melodrama I Miss You, set to premiere next month. Yoon was rumored to be a candidate along with a handful of other actresses, but the production was oddly hush-hush about casting news, despite the ticking clock and less than a month to go before broadcast. With actors picking up and dropping the show left and right, I was beginning to fear the worst; but yay for pulling through in the final stretch.
The 20-episode melodrama is described as a hide-and-seek love story, about a pair of teenagers who fall in love and get painfully separated, and then meet again as adults. There’s not a whole lot to the plot other than that, so it looks like a Fate vs. First Loves kind of story — heavy on the angst with a side of salty tears. The fifteen-year old versions of the leads will be played by Moon/Sun’s Yeo Jin-gu and Kim So-hyun, who are both delightful and becoming stars in their own right.
And then following the painful period of Ye First Love Torn Asunder, we’ll meet up with our adult cast: Yoochun who plays Han Jung-woo, a cheeky detective in the violent crimes unit, and Yoon Eun-hye as Lee Soo-yeon, a talented rookie fashion designer. Both characters are cheerful types, which is a huge relief, considering the amount of times the words “pain” and “separation” appear in any given description of the project. The heroine is bright and confident, despite carrying a deep scar from something in her past, and the hero is a cheeky monkey off-duty, and a baddie-chasing fiend when he’s wearing his gun and badge.
The drama will be helmed by PD Lee Jae-dong of Can’t Lose and Thank You, and written by Moon Hee-jung of Can You Hear My Heart and Smile, You. I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic, mostly because I like the cast, and also because I’m dying for Yoon Eun-hye to do something good again. I adore her, but that’s 100% residual love from projects that are frankly quite old now (Coffee Prince, Goong) and it’d be really nice to see her play a meaty, substantial role. Please be good, Show. Please, be good.
I Miss You follows Arang and the Magistrate and premieres in November on MBC.

SWEET! I am stoked for the pairing and for the younger versions. They were fantastic in MoonSun. BTW, that picture of YEH is so beautiful!
With Yoochun's recent awesomeness in RTP (despite the very iffy plot movement) and YEH's well-proven acting chops, I'm expecting good things!

From the looks at it, Yoochun is still a long way from good acting and It's funny how you can stand that. and Han Jimin is a veteran that's why he looks gud with her and not with Park Min Young coz both of them are mediocre.
And YEH just shines all the actors beside her - Joo Ji Hun, Gong Yoo, Kang Ji Hwan.
Vinn
October 9, 2012 at 6:13 PM
YEH shines in a specific type of role, which is fine. I'm hoping this story offers that kinda role, because the story by itself doesn't sound that awesome. But I agree her recent projects have sucked (although Lie was a product of terrible writing more than acting...)
Likewise, Yoochun also has a long ways to go, but he's decent enough. I'm just hoping the story will pull through.

Another melodrama with leading cast whom I like and really want to watch. I just can't get past that "I'm not a melodrama person" barrier... although I am REALLY considering picking up Nice Guy soon just because I'm hearing some "OMG, this series is so intense that I can't get enough of it!" from friends.
I like Yoochun and I love Yoon Eun Hye; like girlfriday, there's a bit of residual love from Coffee Prince, but part of it is also because she's got some kind of charm to her even if I didn't like the characters she portrayed (neither in Lie to Me nor Goong). However, I DO like the character descriptions of both being more on the happy end of things despite this being a melo. And I also like my Micky Yoochun nice and cheeky, just like his usual self.

for whatever reason, i could never get behind yoon eun hye... she somehow triggers an irrational dislike reaction in me (sort how i feel about kristen stewart and keira knightley, now that i think about it)... probably won't be watching this, since i'm a fair-weather fan of yoochun at best.
also fashion designer? seriously? how about a bookstore employee (not the owner. just an employee)? or a civil engineer? or a landscape architect? or a veterinarian for a shelter for battered koalas? something interesting for once?

I don't mind the career choice, it most likely won't have much relevance to anything besides giving the character a specific personality type, which is probably creative thinking + fashion forward and passionate. I know hopeful fashion designers, it really is an interesting path and I feel there are only a few dramas that really delve into it, narratively.

Or since fashion ogling is such a big part of the drama landscape, perhaps the female lead is the designated fashionista in charge of showcasing some of the latest trends. Base on the premise, I think fashion is not going to be a big part of the narrative.

That's why fans needs to be careful, they can give their Idol a bad rep. I know because I've seen much to many. If they had act much more mature about others opinion I have a feeling others might have watched it. It really is a turn off. And I'm all so a fan of YEH, but I respect others opinion.

I really hope that fans of YEH and PYC will support them, but I'm kind of afraid to read all the comments here on Dramabeans, because I noticed that there's been an increasing number of hateful/bashful comments since the LTM days :(

Love the writer's previous work CYHMH; so I'm on board.
Never seen YEH previous works because I'm not a fan of rom-com and seems like she only did rom-com dramas. Glad that she ventures out into a melodrama.
I've seen PYC in SKKS and a bit in RP (which I dropped because I didn't like the plot); he's growing on me and he's definitely improving so I'm excited for this pairing.
Now we just need the confirmation of the second male lead.
And as much as I love RM; may I ask why some people here want YEH to guest on RM to promote her new drama? As far as I know, RM is aired in SBS; while I Miss You will be aired in MBC. SBS won't allow any actor/actress who is doing a drama at their competing channel to guest on their show.
I was hoping that YEH would guest on RM to promote her debut movie; but as she's already confirmed to be the leading lady in IMY, I don't think we'll see her in RM soon. But please get her on RM as soon as IMY ends....

I'm hoping residual love from the RM staff (same PD and staff crew as Xman) will get her onboard. Plus RM's ratings would shoot through the effing roof if she came on an episode, which may be worth it to SBS, regardless of promo she would be doing for IMY.

Just my humble opinion, but Faith and Arang are nowhere near being disappointments (well, Faith drags a bit sometimes but it's quite good, and Arang is one of the best dramas so far this year in terms of story, pacing as well as acting).
The real thing we'll probably compare this new melo to is Nice Guy, I wonder if it'll match the ratings/critical praise for that show?

Faith was a disappointment!!! I thank God it was NOT my first historical drama!! The script need A LOT of work! LMH character is supposed to be a leader but he does some stupid Sh*t that pisses me off(ex. ep 17. KICK THE DAMN DOOR DOWN -_-). I only continue watching it because of the lead girl and Mr. Expressions aka the villain. From ep 1-16 I gave it a 2 stars then I raised it to a four stars then it dropped back to 3 stars because of the example I just gave. And i also find LMH romance scene quite stiff!!!
