Song Seung-heon picks new drama, When A Man Loves
by javabeans
It’s only been half a year since Dr. Jin called it a day, but Song Seung-heon is coming back with another MBC drama series. Y…ay?
This one’s called When A Man Loves, and I sincerely hope this drama’s answer to that isn’t “…he travels through a wormhole and also falls in love with the doppelganger, because why have one true love when you can have two?” The object of his affections is Shin Se-kyung (Fashion King), which is interesting in that she seems like the exact same type of actress as his Dr. Jin co-star Park Min-young: pretty, young, sweet, gets the job done, though sometimes possessing of a frustrating emotional block. Coincidentally, both leads headlined seriously questionable WTF dramas in the past year; perhaps they’re looking for redemption?
Both Song and Shin are in final negotiations, which means that the casting isn’t technically finalized, but most outlets are treating it as a done deal. We don’t have much info on the plot yet, only that the hero is a junior member in a crime organization, and when he falls for a young woman, the two are swept up in the whirlpool of passionate romance. Yeah, more details would really help, since basically that just tells us that Boy In Gang Meets Girl, Probably Loses Girl, Possibly Gets Girl Back.
It sounds like a melodrama driven by an strong love story, which is something I can picture given the producers attached: When A Man Loves comes from the director of Arang and the Magistrate and the writer of Equator Man. So at least this time they’re both in good hands.
The drama’s already got a timeslot, and will take up the Wednesday-Thursday broadcast window after Level 7 Civil Servant ends in April.

I don't know why but I'm getting the feeling that her role will be playing second fiddle to SSH's role and I'm ready for her to break out again. I'm pretty lukewarm about her acting, but there is something about her that gives off "potential!" I'm worried that this drama may just push her into a more obscure place.

There is no amount of Song Seung Hun pretty that would make me watch this. If I've learned one thing from watching SSH act, it's that I'd really rather just look at pictures of him...especially shirtless. ;)
I can watch him in comedy (My Princess) but he rarely does it, sadly, because that is actually what I think he does best. I can handle him in supporting rolls if his character is quirky (A Better Tomorrow), but I will not watch him as the lead in a melo, no way, no how.
And then you top it off with one of my absolute least favorite actresses ever?! Seriously?! My response to this drama is a big MEH with a bleh at the end!

Not sure i will be watching this, I'm a bit tired of the melo in Dramaland. Life is already a melo, I don't think I can handle watching a melo. Other than that I must say I actually like Shin Se-kyung, I think she really has more talent when comparing to Park Min-young. I've seen both these actresses in a Drama and I have to hand it to Shin Se-kyung. She seriously amazed me in "Tree With Deep Roots" I really loved her character and her portrayal of that character, but for Park drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" I dropped it half way in, her acting just doesn't grab me. I'm always ready to sleep when I watch her.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal was worth keeping up with for its supporting cast though - Yoo Ah-in, Song Joong-ki, Kim Min-seo and even Seo Hyo-rim were far more fascinating and engaging than either of the two main leads (though Yoochun got a bit better by the end when his character was allowed to express emotion).
But I do agree, PMY was a really weak acting link in there, there's something very flat about the way she plays her character that just makes it impossible to connect even when you know you're supposed to love her.

I like Shin Se Kyung. I think she's better than Park Min Young simply for the fact that she does not annoy me & I just find her acting to be better. I dunno, there is something about her...I also thought that she did well in the train wreck that was FASHION KING (I said it---the drama's name! *gag refelex*). That character was naive to a max level and she did a good job making me feel that. So, why Shin Se Kyung whyyyyyyyy? D: You can do better, I am sure. You've got potential and you make me believe your characters, pick something else! Pick something else!

The title: When a man loves screams to be continued with ....a woman. They go together hand in hand. I mean, the song and movie that go by that same name are just so famous that the title is by now a common place: When a man loves a woman. You can't stop mid sentence and just say: When a man loves. That is just wrong.
Anyway, I loves melos. So I'll give it a try although I find SSH greasy and not in a good way and I have no idea who she is.

January 28, 2013 at 7:06 AM
My first thought was: ... and another one bites the dust. But I'm going to be charitable and say that I'll be tuning in for this drama simply because I find the SSH - SSK pair kind of intriguing and at least there won't be a deficit of pretty.
When I first heard about this project, I was hoping that the lead would be someone like Song Il Gook (a very fine actor) but I guess he got himself permanently blacklisted with the big 3 for his stance on Dokdo and all the hate from Japan.
Re: Shin Se Kyung, she has nowhere to go but up - Fashion King was a total mess scriptwise but I firmly believe she is one of the better actresses her age. Better than Han Hyo Joo and a fair number of more veteran actresses for sure.

Autumn in my heart.. I got so pissed off yet not sad or whatever feelings I was supposed to have when I watched it. Just because the only TWO things Song Seunghun did was to smile and cry. I almost wanted to punch my computer just because of the ridiculous acting. Too bad I was already a fan of Won Bin when I watched it so I told myself I would not give up on this drama no matter what... I have to say, in this drama, WB overacted while SSH.. Did he even act at all?

I didn't have anything until I watched Ahjussi! For me, personally? He's fun to watch! He's versatile and really good--he can even be comedic. A turn off is that his work is few and far between though. He's handsome too & his personality is dangerously close to mine (shy, quiet, not very talkative, home-body...) But what really gets me is that he improved a great deal. He wasn't always so magnetic.
And don't worry, you're not the only one I'm sure. :)

I loved "Arang" and loved SSH in "My Princess," but in a melo? Maybe though the director can do some magic with SSH in this. Wasn't it said that in "Arang" he was able to pull back Lee Jun-Ki a little bit in his acting so that he was a lot more subtle (and thusly, wonderfully awesome) as Kim Eun Oh. Still though, why won't SSH just do another rom-com? Uuugh.

January 28, 2013 at 8:53 AM
Yeah, Arang is the best (and best-balanced, for the range of skills that it showed off) work of LJK's career and I think more than a little credit for that goes to the PD, for knowing how to channel him correctly.
I mean, he is my prince but pulling back on the slight overacting tendencies = mind-melting levels of intensity (which really works for a character like Eun-oh), balanced out with the lightness and the cute.
Required fields are marked *
opheliadrowning
January 28, 2013 at 9:23 AM
It was those moments where he was pulled back that were the most effective, I think. Where in so many dramas you have actors going into face-twisting dramatics, LJK toned back did a lot of acting with his eyes and his face and less with shouting and gesturing, as you see in other actors. Euh Oh seemed like such a fully real person to me because of that too, and really won over my sympathy and love.
And SSH--he tends to really overact in dramatic roles, so if this PD can pull him back...well, who knows!

He overacts so much you wonder if he ever watches himself. On the one hand he sounds very self-aware, on the other, he is so NOT self-aware.
I mean, really, once he saw a couple of those bug-eyed shots from Jin, didn't he say to himself, "Hey, SSH, why don't we tone it down a tad?"

One can only hope!! Arang turned me into a Lee Jun Ki fan, after I thought he had the chops but needed to tone it down in his past dramas. The PD did an amazing job with him, really. I'm still pissed he (nor the show as a whole) got any awards at the end of last year. MBC is run by idiots. SSH acts in dramatic works like he's in a silent movie, it's ridiculous (ly hilarious). Rom-coms are obviously much better suited to him. His awkward physical comedy cracked me up so much in MP, bless his handsome face.

The nickname actually precedes both those incidents. It's because the name Song Seung-heon sounds very close to the word for hand towel, sohn soo-gun. (Some earlier mentions: http://www.dramabeans.com/2010/12/jb-and-gf-face-off-battle-of-delusional-hopes/)

but but but...do we know for sure it's a melo? couldn't it be a comedy in disguise? Because he does rom-com well. We know better than to go by the descriptions because they seem to be typed out in a room full of monkeys and any resemblance to the final product is pretty coincidental.
I have to watch. I have a soft spot for the pretty guy who knows he's not that good but just keeps trying, even though he knows what everyone thinks. I want him to SUCCEED. When I compare to another person that everyone agrees is lovely (Well. I like his hair. And ok, his biceps and yes, his abs. Nice legs, too. And I do like him in movies. Just not so much in dramas. Or, say, rapping.)
Where was I? Oh yes. Anyway, that person, some will allow, is not a very good actor...and to me the attitude difference between the two men is pretty stark. So I will cheer on the pretty, hopeful one with everything I have. Because I appreciate the humility and it's not like he's THAT terrible.

And you can tell by looking at those beautiful gentle hands that he's a good toweller - the kind that pats, caresses and dries every damp inch of his interestingly-veined torso with love, tenderness and yes, humility.

At this point, any headline with The Hand Towel in it gets me giddy. And I like giddy.
Puzzled why he is still going after the melo rather than comedy, since his inability to offer a restrained performance of grief, anger, frustration, or any of the heavy duty emotions is his biggest weakness. And it's a BIG one.
And SSK I really really liked in Tree, wanted to throttle her character in FKing, though.
While the creative team is good, this is a MUST miss, for me. Unless of course heads does the recaps, and then I AM IN!!

Please Mr. Hand Towel stop with the melo and do another rom/com. You're so adorable in them and you don't have ACT so much. Thanks.
Still this is maybe worth checking out for the PD and writer alone.

this seems like east of eden, even the actress looks like lee yeon hee, and it's a melodrama, includes gangs, so if it's like that please
don't kill SSH!!!!!!!!!!

Being a melo, there's a high chance of death of one of the main characters.
Especially if Shin Se Kyung is in it.
There, I've said it. I think I'm still angry at her for the High Kick Through the Roof ending.

SSH + Melo + Shin Se Kyung? I think I'll pass until it's been reviewed. Between SSH's overacting and SSK's tendency to die in dramas (or have her co-star die, not that I minded much), I don't think I want to see this.
Idk about SSK's acting though. Of the dramas I've seen her in, she tends to stick to one or two expressions throughout the entire drama. But maybe I just really didn't like any of the characters she's played so far. Maybe. Though I didn't really have a problem with her in Tree, I didn't particularly like her either.

Shin Se Kyung is one of those actresses that can actually act well, but picks horrible projects. I was fairly impressed by her in Tree in Deep Roots, but everything went downhill from there. As much I hate to admit this, I actually finished watching Fashion King... for the sake of finishing it. There was also a tinge of hope within me, hoping that the drama was going to pick up. (How do you mess up with a cast consisting of Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, and Lee Je Hoon?!)
Anyways, Shin Se Kyung has room for improvement in acting... but not in this drama, especially if your co-star happens to be Song Seung Hyun. I have nothing against him, but I think it is safe to say that he CAN'T act. There... I said it. But he is gorgeous to look at! And that is it.

Totally agree about Shin Se Kyung and her choice of dramas. But as others have mentioned before, the PD for this one will be really good, so maybe SSH won't be as bad?

Mr. Hand Towel you better take more acting class and pray that you and SSK have chemistry. Interesting that Kim Tae Hee and Yoo IN Ahwill be competing another drama at the same time. Also, isn't Jang Hyuk was in a drama with SSK in Tree with Deep Roots.

SSK just grates on my nerves so much. i don't like her face, her expressions. i do remember being impressed with her in a sageuk a few years back, but then high kick happened and i couldn't stand her face, her voice, her character. i wanted to slap her so much in fashion king, and really couldn't blame the boutique owner for hating her so much. she played that role pretty badly in my opinion. i don't like her in interviews either—she comes off a bit snooty, fake. it might be the voice, too. sometimes i think it might be a bit affected. just something about her, i absolutely cannot stand.
and i love SSH so much! didn't watch dr. jin and gave up on my princess, but i keep hoping he does something as good as autumn fairytale. he was so charismatic there... i hate that drama for being so sad, but i watch it now and then for him. and won bin. and song hye kyo. i don't want to see him with her... :(

I think the problem with SSK is that she's pretty bland and she plays roles where her characters don't display much personality. But for some reason, I get this feeling that there's a spark of personality in there somewhere and she just needs a fun drama to tap into her inner wackiness or just needs to grow older and more comfortable. Girl is only 22. She should take advantage of her youth.

Hahahaha! that's like my worst pairing ever! So not gonna watch.
Even though I knew SSH couldn't act I still liked him until Dr. Jin happened.
And I've always found SSK annoying.
And it's a melo with them two. Imagine them trying to do really heartfelt emotional scenes. They'll both look confused/constipated. Hahaha!
Ok, I should stop bashing, but seriously, this combo is hilarious!

The story is about a guy falling in love with a much younger girl so I don't think the casting is too far off the mark.

i totally agree on you saying PMY is like SSK. i got the same vibes. I don't hate them but i don't like them too. I just hope that SSH will get another leading lady that would be able to draw out the cuteness and overprotective machoness in him just like Taehee in My Princess.
I think Park Se Young (School 2013) will be a better choice. or Kim Ha Eun. If only Hwang Jung Eum is not busy with Incarnation of Money, she would be perfect.
