Jung So-min: “Watching my bed scene with my parents was awkward”
by javabeans
Jung So-min is currently acting in the cable drama Can We Marry, which is heading into its finale… now. As in, today, almost right this minute. The show is hovering just under the 3% mark on JTBC, which may not be the incredible 8% ratings posted by Childless Good Fortune—8%, yowsa—but is still a strong showing.
Jung’s last couple dramas haven’t been strong performers (Playful Kiss, Standby) but she’s a talent to watch, and so I’m glad to hear that Can We Marry is generating positive word of mouth. It’s a 20-episode romantic-comedy series that stars her opposite Sung Joon, and they play a couple struggling through the courtship dance and undergoing a bevy of obstacles to end up at the altar. (So we presume; the show’s not quite over yet.)
It’s a simple conceit, so the show’s charm is found more in its light and engaging execution than a high-concept premise or a series of dramatic events. Her character in this drama, Hye-yoon, is 28, which means she’s playing well above her age (23). I wonder if that’s why it’s a bit startling to realize she’s only been on the scene for two years; it feels like Jung So-min has been acting longer than her 2010 debut in Bad Guy.
On to the interview:
How is it, relating to a story about marriage that’s a bit off from your real age?
“At first, I wasn’t able to relate to it very closely so I asked my friends and cousin unnis for a lot of advice. I intended to borrow a lot of themes and motifs from them, but the character is so much like me that there really is no gap between us. So much so that sometimes I get confused about my real age.”
Were you bashful with the frank dialogue or bed and kiss scenes?
“For all those—the frank dialogue and the bed and kiss scenes—I did feel a little awkward, but as we set up to actually shoot them it became fine. However, when watching the broadcast at home with my parents, I did feel embarrassed. As it went on, they grew increasingly silent.”
How is your working dynamic with Sung Joon?
“We work extremely well together. At first it was so awkward when it was just the two of us together that I would even miss the actors I’d worked with in the past, but we’ve gotten closer now. We get along well and have a strong rhythm with each other. We can even ad-lib and the other person will just go with it.”
How is the filming atmosphere on this drama?
“The atmosphere is really great. Even though there are lots of times when I haven’t gone home in a week, it’s still bright and upbeat. The actors call each other a lot. There are three years between me and [20-year-old] Han Groo, but I don’t think of it as a very large gap and we act like [same-year] friends. She’s mature and seems like a peer. We’re hardly ever not filming, so after the show wraps we’ve promised to go on an overnight MT together.”
How is Lee Mi-sook, who plays your mother?
“She looks after me a lot, and sends me texts often. On set, she sets a bright mood. She jokes around and has an easygoing personality. I do call her ‘Teacher’ when we’re on set but when I text her, I comfortably call her Deul-ja Mom. Lee Mi-sook sunbae-nim is the one who causes the fewest NGs [outtakes]. She has a lot of dialogue, but most of the time she gets it on the first take without a mistake.”
If you had to pick one to date in real life, would it be Jung-hoon (Sung Joon’s character) or Sang-jin (Lee Jae-won)?
“I’d prefer Jung-hoon. Like Deul-ja Mom said, Sang-jin is too eloquent and has certain suspicious aspects to him. He seems like he would have an affair after he got married; if you broke up once because of cheating, it’s likely he’d do it again. Jung-hoon is my ideal type.”
Does that mean you’d like to marry somebody like Jung-hoon?
“These days, my ideal type has changed to Jung-hoon. It wasn’t that type before, but it’s made me think that I would be happy if I were to marry a man like him. We can always earn money together. These days I’m also thinking of how people work so intensely, but instead of that I’d like to be with someone who would work and also enjoy spending his spare time with me. It’s okay if we don’t earn tons of money. We’re all trying to live happily, but I’m seeing so many cases where people put the cart before the horse.”
What’s your real-life dating style?
“I go all-in to the relationship and the boyfriend. I don’t understand why couples have to do their ‘push-pull’ [akin to playing hard to get]—if you like each other you like each other, and if you don’t you don’t.”
You entered Korea National University of Arts at the very top of the class, you’re on a roll, your life is going straight ahead without any twists.
“I’ve had instances of being envious of people whose lives have taken winding curves. People who have had rich life experiences or come up against difficult times can draw on those to help in acting. So I was envious of them, but I came to the realization that I think the answer is to act in accordance with your experience.”
Kim Nam-gil, whom you worked with in Bad Guy, has come back from army service.
“Even back when filming Bad Guy, Kim Nam-gil sunbae-nim was thoughtful in looking after me even in parts he wasn’t in. It was my debut drama, and he taught me and led me along. After he got out of the army, he called regularly. Not long ago he invited me to a film screening at Jecheon International Film Festival, so I went.”
You must have a lasting impression of Oh Yeon-soo from Bad Guy, too.
“On a personal level, Oh Yeon-soo sunbae is someone I like and am friendly with. She played my older sister in that drama, and she taught me a lot about life. She didn’t have a big influence on my acting, but she was like a mentor for life.”
What kind of actor would you like to become?
“I’d like to be the kind of actor who is remembered for my character. You know how there are cases where even when you watch all the way through the end of a drama, you remember the actor’s name, not the character’s. I want my character’s name to be more remembered than mine.”

One has to appreciate a young Korean actress not pulling the "cute and pure" angle, like most do. She sounds down to Earth. It sometimes feels it's those kind of young actors who get the least publicity. A shame this country is so based on selling(out) yourself.
I hope she gets some good works to mature through as an actress. These types of young ones are the ones we might someday see a A-listers. I haven't been impressed by her acting so far, but she certainly has time and the mind to improve.

And the look, too, in addition to time and mind. You've made really good points.
In my opinion, pulling the "cure and pure" angle is more rampant with male South Korean actors and idols, with yuckier results. But, apparently, this is what sells in the domestic market.
In the year that just ended, Psy coming out of the left field to conquer the world had to be the biggest reversal of fortune in South Korea and the biggest blow to ego for all the other entertainers (both actor/actresses and singers). I could hear the collective moan: how could we have gotten it so wrong?
Good news: Lee Min Ho sells outside Asia.

She's not even my favorite character in the drama but I will not be greedy in 2013 and appreciate what I can have. Really an excellent drama. "Frank dialogues?" Oh yeah! Even me was surprised by the tone and I'm normally used to this. I wish people who like classic melos (it's not really a rom-com: More a family/melo kind of show with a bit of rom-com) would try this and tell us why they think of it: The old formula, I can't anymore... In my top 5, maybe top 3 of 2012.

This drama has been a real treat for me. I am really liking the shows on cable so much more these days, and I think that's attributed to the "real" dialogue and relationships - aka natural skinship, kissing, and frank discussions of sensitive issues. This is the show I look forward to the most each week. So sorry it's almost over!
And while I didn't particularly like her character at first, I love her as an actress. She reminds me of a cuter version of YEH for some reason.

I love, love Can We Get Married, am surprised myself.
The drama is so low profile, no intriguing plot twist whatsoever but I don't know why I am so invested with the story, the characters, even I cried when the main couple broke up.
Their banters, between main couple, the parents, the 2nd couple, feel so real, something you can find and relate in real life.
I think if you're living in Asian family you would easier to understand the problems of preparing a wedding, which doesn't only involve the couple but the whole families.
I agree with So Min's description about Junghoon is the ideal husband material.. I think it's more important to find someone who is willing to work and settle things together, not to keep things himself but to share and to find solutions together. However I do think Junghoon is kinda lack of confidence sometimes..oh well nobody's perfect~
And that's the plus point for this drama..everybody has their own flaws, charms, but nobody is evil, they are humans, with real character.

I also love it, and I do cry in that scene too. I think So Min acted really well that scene and kill my heart.
The side stories are awesome too and *SPOILER ALERT JUST IN CASE* Deul Ja! I mean, I think we all find her very annoying on the beginning but you came to understand the love of a mother, same for Hye Jin and her son. I was so touched by their feelings that it was like watching my cousin tell me about her hard life.
I am really gonna miss this drama (I just see the finale today, raw, obviously, but at least I watched it). I am really looking forward to drams like this, that even if the plot is not that big or intrigued, you get to care for everyone and want to see what's next in their lives.

People do that with lesser-known actors no matter what culture they belong to, the alllooksame problem is a real one but I think you're really reaching here - especially considering that Korean fans - not DB - once nicknamed JSM 'baby Yoon Eun-hye' or something similar.
Sometimes it's really just as simple as them actually resembling each other, no need to jump down someone's throat for a perfectly harmless comment.

That's what I think too. And comparing persons is a common way for people to process and engrave new faces in their brain. It can be irritating (especially if you like the "original" and not the "newbie") and I was quite puzzled myself on viki when people compared JDG to Johnny Depp but hey, that's how we work: By association of ideas.

there's nothing wrong with the original poster's comment. what's wrong with saying someone looks like someone else, less famous or no?
in my opinion the actress DOES look a lot like yoon eun-hye, something i think even javabeans herself has commented on before. heck, when i was watching this drama over the holidays, my mom came up behind me and asked "is that yoon eun-hye??" she did that twice on two separate occasions.
i agree with commenter pogo, no need to jump down Gon's throat.

Now that I've read further down the post, I didn't realize everyone was thinking the same thing (and what a controversy it would be, haha!) It's normal to compare actors' looks. Sometimes it bugs me, even in Western films, when they pick actors who look really similar for roles in the same movie (can't think of any right off hand, though.) But if I'm not familiar with the actors, it's confusing at first. I always think the casting company has a preference for similar type people. I definitely wouldn't say it's only something we do with Asian actors!

Well even PS Hwang in Roe of Goong said that Jung So Min has a strong resemblance to Yoon Eun Hye not only in features but also on how they speak articulately and maturely.
A lot of people have this misconception that Yoon Eun Hye is exactly like the characters in her drama, but PD Hwang and other people in the industry said that YEH talks with a lot of depth and is extremely articulate and not cutesy, so in this regard PD Hwang said Jung So Min and Yoon Eun Hye are very similar. http://kpculture.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/yoon-eun-hyes-interview-vogue-girl/

As I watched, during the first few episodes I just kept seeing the Yoon Eun-hye resemblance over and over. I Googled it to see if I was the only crazy one. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one, and even the Korean media had picked up on it--with her feeling the need to apologize to YEH for some reason. It was actually kind of sweet she did that.

I wouldn't say she looks like Yoon Eun Hye but there is some similarity in the features. I think Yoon Eun Hye is able to convey more in static medium but it's the opposite with Jung So min. These pics are bland when you compare her presence on video.

I've heard of a sageuk in dramabeans, but I never really knew what it is, and that it's different from a fusion sageuk. Please tell me what they're about? Thank you sooo much for clearing it out in advance :D

The most simple explanation:
Sageuk = historical drama
Example: Shin Don, Im Kkeok Jeong, Great King Sejong, Tears of a Dragon, Queen Insoo...
fusion sageuk = other genre + historical drama
Chuno (historical+action), Joseon X-Files (science fiction+historical), Conspiracy in the Court (thriller/mystery+historical)...

I think she's one of the most talented actresses in her age range right now, it's only the way she played her character in Playful Kiss that made me not want to smack her (the character, I mean - not the actress!). And for the relatively small size of her role in Bad Guy, I was surprised by how good she was - can't believe that was her debut!
Much as I love her, though, it is a bit distracting to be reminded her character is 28, she's great in her CWGM role but looks so YOUNG...

thank you for a post on this drama! it's absolutely great, and if you haven't started watching, you absolutely must rectify that soon :) like some of the comments above, i was a bit surprised there were no posts about this one too, given your fondness for both leads.
but i'm shocked that you say today's episode is the finale. seriously? they're going to wrap up everything today? i guess i was just happy to keep watching forever...
i think lee mi-sook is really starting to create her own signature "mom" character. i never forgot what you wrote about her acting in cinderella's sister, how you can always trust her to find the dark edge of humor. there were times in the drama when her charater was a bit overboard, but overall loved her.

as an overseas follower, it takes longer to get the subs than other shows, but some episodes were worth the wait, especially if it's just an extra 1-2 day wait after broadcast. (though the subs aren't necessarily good.)

Took me a while to not see Lee Jang Woo as Dojin or Chang Wook as Donghae and to this day, I'm trying to remember Jung Ryo Won's (had to google it again) because I still call her Yeo Chi. ^^"

But I went into Can We Get Married, not expecting much and ended up really loving the drama. Although it's a rom-com, it's really not your typical kdrama and I have to say thank goodness it's on cable because we get lots of kissing and what not :P

This is a show I really want to watch with my parents, because I'm looking forward to my dad's commentary on crazy mom. But then I thought of the first episode... Ah, the perils of starting off the pilot episode with a bed scene.

But its not like I need romance bed scene or something like that, is very careful and there is not skin except for the main topless and that is in the teaser and its no even "the bed scene" that all people talk.
I recommend you to watch with your family. It has very good messages to understand them.

JB, thanks for showcasing this drama.... truly different from other dramas... frank and realistic... Jong So Min and Sung Joon, Lee Mi Sook, and the rest of the ensemble were so true to life. The irritating mothers, the son who did what parents wanted as a path to do what he wanted, and the banter-arguments, wow, it was so real...
JB, I know you like Sung Joon and am glad you like JSM to, I really enjoyed her in Playful Kiss... Looks like these too will be in Kdramaland for a long time..
Thanks so much... Happy New Year to you and the rest of the DB Allstars!!!!

She is cute. Of course it'll be awkward watching that with your parents. First watching "Can We Get Married" i purposely didnt looked into the actors age. Well, Sung Joon and So min and Han Groo just played high school student and it was believable. Finding out their age from comments here apparently doesnt make any difference.
I really like everyone here because the chemistry is so good, as friends, as lover, So min' family, Jung Hoon's family, Ki Joong's family.
I was watching kbs drama award, Sung Joon got an award for his short drama and as he give his speech (which i dont understand) he looked like Jung Hoon, his gestures and the way his body moves is still feels like Jung Hoon. If i haven't seen him in shut up, i'll definitely think he's just Jung Hoon in real life..

I absolutely love this show. JSM is great in it, everybody is great, in fact.
I look forward to it anxiously every week to cliffhangers like 'will they break-up', 'will they get back together', 'will she get back with Sang Jin', 'will he get paired up with Dong Bi' etc, etc. I cried badly for the poor kid of the divorcing couple... and thought age must have caught up with me that I seemed so worked up over mild cliffhangers like these and emo over a TV divorce....
It is a beautiful drama really.

She is so dang cute! : ) I started watching Can We Get Married? just to check out the new format on Dramafever as I have taken a bit of a hiatus from kdramas, and it was hard to pull myself away. Simple but very, very cute show. I can see myself falling in love if I go back to it. And JSM looks so very pretty in it!

Finally saw ep 1. I'm amazed at the depiction of women's unmarried relationships. I don't say 'modern women' because my k-gf were having sexual relationships in early 1990s. One was in Daegu another in Seoul. It was common even back then.
In NYC, K-wives lunch once a month and the stories they tell about their Korean lives will never make it to TV, like it's amazing how many married their English teachers to get to USA (just like some Chinese wives I socialize w).

Shhttt. You're going to scare those who believe than K women are pure and remain virgin until they marry at 34 yo... ;) I said it and I will repeat: You can't fight hormones and body functions whatever the country you live in and the moral codes applied in it. Unless you drug people with tranquilizers.

The responses to this post are extremely interesting, and cover a multitude of topics. I think this is why I love reading everything here. You never stop learning.
As far as the interview, there isn't anything about KJH and acting with him in PK. I wonder why...
As far as remembering character's names, she really may NOT want to be known as Oh Ha Ni. I will never forget that name and how sincere but vapid she was!!

I just love her. I was ever loyal to PK because of her...and of course, I found it cute when she had a "crush" on KNG on BG.
I hope she will have another drama I can watch soon...and why not a reunion with Kim Nam-Gil?..:))
And she is so right about her last comment...I think of her as a cute Oh Hani...and KNG I always refer as Bidam....:))

What a thoughtful actress. She sounds very intelligent and reserved, which is quite refreshing. I loved what she said about her philosophy with acting - at first I was like, why wouldn't you want people to remember your name more? It means you left an impression! But of course it would be more successful if you sold your character to the audience so fully. Such a mature stance for a new actress.
This really appeals me to the show, my Sung-Joon love notwithstanding.

i started watching this drama due to this post and as an american who only knows korean culture through the dramas i watch, i am really curious as to whether the things that are happening in this drama are true to life. i'm specifically talking about expecting parents to buy homes and furnishings and all this other stuff. it seems a bit extreme.
i'm only up to episode 6, but hae yoon's mom in particular seems so greedy. i can understand not wanting your children to suffer, but she's so blinded by her misguided love for her daughter, that she's ruining her daughter's relationship with her mother-in-law, and we all know how important that relationship is.
some of the themes are universal here and that's what is endearing to me. when people marry, it really is about the extended family, because as much as we would like it to be just about the man and the woman, if the family does not get along it's not good.

Yeah, Oh Ha Ni is really sticked in my head. But I surprise to see her in another movie playing different character and she is quite into it.
Smart, humble, cute, adorable JSM
"For all those—the frank dialogue and the bed and kiss scenes—I did feel a little awkward, but as we set up to actually shoot them it became fine. However, when watching the broadcast at home with my parents, I did feel embarrassed. As it went on, they grew increasingly silent.”
And those highlight, is really funny... If I were her, I must be feel awkward as well.. ha ha

one day i randomly watched "can we get married?" after Nice Guy just finished at that period. And then suddenly i fell in love with hye yoon, even at the first episode. Because her character is soooo cute and simple, and pure, and lovely, and sweet, and felt realistic for me, i wonder if someday i meet a girl like hye yoon, i'd fall in love in a glance. The story is really2 good. It just a simple story, a man and woman who want to get married, but there's a lot added value and meaning that i can take from this drama. This drama is the best romantic comedy. I really got into it, realllyyy... got into it... and that's why i love jung so min too and after this drama i also watched the playful kiss, jung so min is really cute in that drama, remind me of yoon eun hye. And its like a new generation of yoon eun hye. But still, i fall in love with hye yoon.
