Up-and-comers in Scary Story 2
by javabeans
All right, there’s a new horror flick out there called Scary Story 2, and for any other reason it would sound forgettable and bland… except for its cast, which is chock-full of promising up-and-comers.
First off we have Sung Joon (Can We Get Married, Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, White Christmas), whom I’d wager on as becoming a prime contender for Bright Leading Man of the Future. He’s been cast as the lead in the movie, which is the sequel to an original I’ve never heard of. But no matter, since we’ve got a much more interesting cast this time around.
And while one likable cast member is hardly enough to get excited about (I’m sure we all understand the heartbreak of That Terrible Project Our Beloved Did), we’ve also got Go Kyung-pyo to watch for. Either this boy suddenly signed with an amazing agent, or he’s gotten incredibly lucky to have his potential appreciated right off the bat: No sooner than I’d seen him be surprisingly good in the launch of Korea’s Saturday Night Live did I see him racking up lots of supporting role points with Operation Proposal, Standby, and Flower Boy Next Door. He has been cast alongside his SNL and Flower Boy co-star Kim Seul-gi (she was the bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived webtoon PD)
The film is reportedly about the “chilling events” that transpire after three friends get into a car crash. I presume we’re talking about the three boys, which includes Lee Soo-hyuk (Vampire Idol, White Christmas). (By the way, who else marvels at how interlinked this new generation of young actors is? With such casts as White Christmas and Shut Up and School, it’s no wonder these boys are co-starring repeatedly. Winner: Us.)
But it’s not just a phenomenon reserved for our boys of the industry: The two ladies in the main cast have already worked together in last year’s heartwarming sitcom High Kick 3, Baek Jin-hee and Kim Ji-won.
Scary Story 2 will begin filming this month, with plans to release in June. Yeesh, that’s a tight schedule. Well, nobody ever accused the K-entertainment industry of slacking.

Can I just say I'm so smitten with our panda eyes PD from FBND? If only Kim Seulgi also joined in on this movie - she would be awesome as comedic relief in a teen/youth horror movie. Hey, nothing wrong with combining horror and comedy. Not as if there hasn't been enough mixing of genres in the K ent industry.

Me too. I never watch horror - it's like the one genre I 100% skip. But I'm going to, ummm, have to reconsider for this one with THIS CAST!!!
Very short production time for a movie though...

Me !!!! I practically have flowchart interconnecting all our White Christmas Boys and the projects that they have starred in...Its amazing!!
Love how Sung Joon is picking his projects and the way he is improving since his rather green perfomace in WC....I think he has it in him to become awesome.
And Go Kyung Pyo! Boy does he remind me of Cha Tae Hyun in some respects...really great comic chops!
Also love Baek Jin Hee!!

"Well, nobody ever accused the K-entertainment industry of slacking" ... or of being sane, apparently. Wow, that's gonna be tight.
Anyway, I love the cast, so now I just hope that the movie itself will be good. Thanks for sharing, jb!

I've also noticed that a lot of these young actors co-star a lot together, but I don't mind one bit.
Sung-joon is my favorite out of these actors, so I'll watch for him. Probably, I'm not a big fan of scary movies.

I won't be tuning in since I'm terrified of scary movies - seriously, I saw a cartoon adaptation of an Edgar Allen Poe story as a kid, and even that freaked me out! But am excited for these guys, definitely agree this is like the next generation Brat Pack.
By the way, I've always thought that Sung Joon looked oddly familiar and I finally figured it out! Though I'm probably the last to notice this...but anyone else see a resemblance between him and Taiwanese actor Bolin Chen?

About Sung Joon and Bolin Chen..YES! Their acting styles can be similar sometimes, too. I think this solidifies the notion that I have a "type" when it comes to guys as I go especially ga-ga over these two. LOL.

yay! I have been waiting for Sung Joon to be cast as a lead in a movie and even if it is a "Scary story" whatever I am still happy! He can "carry" the lead role, his acting is so solid and held together yet I think he is capable of surprising emotions. great. definately a touch of "intelligent acting" even if it should be a silly theme....

lee soo-hyuk has an incredibly charismatic face. he's not handsome in the typical way, but he's totally magnetic. he killed it visuals-wise in tree with deep roots! and his voice! i thought sung joon had one of the best voices, but i just remembered that lee soo-hyuk (arguably) has an even better voice. it's more drawly and melancholy.
but his acting has been admittedly, a little weaker than some of his fellow model-turned-actor colleagues (sung joon, kim woo-bin). i'd love to see more range from him!

Sung-joon!
I was just missing him since Can We Got Married ended but good to hear that he has a new project out soon.
It always gives off a warm feeling when cast members get united. Sung-joon was also reunited with his White Christmas cast mate Kim Young Kwang in Can We Get Married.

I took it as a general comment, not referencing anyone specific. More along the lines that we can all remember something we got excited about that had someone we love cast in it and they're being a part of it was not enough to save what was undeniably a trainwreck of a movie or drama. Sometimes they even made it worse...

Well considering the recent 'stickfiguresgate' (lols) my bet's on JW. Though to be fair I've seen worse dramas, infact for me his drama is nowhere near the bad dramas category. It's all a matter of personal taste at the end of the day I guess, to each his own and all that...

But I adore adore Kim Seul-gi on SNL!!!
I ship her with Go Kyung-pyo too and Jay Park.
Who knew she was the girl from this video:
LOL
I watched this video and then saw her on Flower boy next door and didn't recognize her! Stupid me!

I haven't heard of Scary Story, but there was a movie called Horror Story/Stories which "starred" Kim Ji Won.
The basic synopsis is: a student (Kim Ji Won) is kidnapped by a serial killer (Yoo Yeon Seok) and made to tell him horror stories so he won't kill her.
If it's a sequel to Horror Stories, it'll probably have the same format: a series of shortish 'episodes', narrated by a storyteller. Who may or may not be Kim Ji Won. Hmm.
Anyway, I'm excited for this movie - thanks for the heads-up, Javabeans! :)

I wil definitely be watching because of Sung Joon and Lee Soo Hyuk.
It IS amazing how so many actors from White Christmas, Shut Up Flower Boy Band, and School are together these days. Sung Joon was in White Christmas and SUFBB and so was Kwak Jung Wook and then Kwak Jung Wook was in School 2013 withh Kim Woo Bin who was also in White Christmas. ANd then Kim Woo Bin was in Vampire Idol with Lee Soo Hyuk and Hong Jong Hyun who were both in White Christmas as well. And now Sung Joon is reuinited with Lee Soo Hyuk yet again? Yeesh! These boys are becoming serious power players. White Christmas didn't kill with ratings but it was the show that first introduced me to these boys and so far I am loving every one of
them.
(Side note: of the boys mentioned here my fav 3 are #1 KIM WOO BIN!!! and tied for 2nd are Sung Joon and Kwak Jung Wook, who made it into the top 3 with his recent performance as the bully Oh Jung Ho in School - a role which he nailed - his eyes were so intense when he was angry I thought he would burn someone to death. And of the 4 shows I mentioned Kwak Jung Wook and Kim Woo Bin win for most connections as each was in 3 of the 4 shows.)
(Another side note: I know this was supposed to be about the movie with Sung Joon and Lee Soo Hyuk but when I realized all the connections I was intrigued and ended up writing about that, sorry. But I will definitely watch the movie for SJ and LSH.)

White Christmas was a launching pad for all of its up-and-coming male leads. When I was watching it, I had this gut feeling that I was seeing something special: all of the leads were so full of potential, good looks, and talent. White Christmas will probably be the last time all of them are together, since they are getting so successful that each is on his way to a first male lead status.

Sung Joon is really so lucky. He started out the same time as Kim Woo Bin and already he's leading male status. It only took him 2 dramas before being the lead in one of the best dramas ever! SUFBB <3

Oh I forgot to mention, it's funny that I was just looking at the asianwiki page for this movie yesterday. It looks like the film is split into 3 segments. Soo-hyuk and Sung-joon will be starring in their own segment. The 3 friends one is with Kim Seul-Gi.
