Jung Yong-hwa cast opposite Park Shin-hye again, seriously

Dude. WHY. Why why why with the repeat pairing that will not die in dramaland? Jung Yong-hwa and Park Shin-hye AGAIN? It’s been confirmed that the pair who were costars in 2009’s You’re Beautiful and again in 2011’s You’ve Fallen For Me are going to be reunited for a third time. Jung Yong-hwa just been cast in Kim Eun-sook’s next big rom-com Heirs (He Who Wishes To Wear the Crown, Endure Its Weight: Heirs) starring Lee Min-ho, due out this fall.

The endless re-pairing is a thing I don’t understand, because sure they’re cute together, but enough already. I don’t even like it when it happens once. Even with him going back to second lead territory, it’s a retread of roles they’ve already played. Either this drama is just trying to be Boys Before Flowers-meets-You’re Beautiful so literally that it’s just mashing the two casts, or these two have some kind of cupid pulling Fate’s strings up there.

The drama will be about upper crust high schoolers, so it really will be another Boys Before Flowers. There is one upside to all this though — one of my biggest pet peeves with writer Kim Eun-sook is the way she writes adults like they’re fifteen… which means maybe she’ll be perfectly suited to write a high school drama. It’s described as a trendy drama about rich high school students, and their loves and friendships. Yes, but wouldn’t it be fun to watch them fall in love with new people, like just once in a blue drama moon?

Heirs is planning for an October premiere on SBS.

i felt this way tooo....

why? why? why? again?!

I was really happy when I discovered that PSH and LMH were gonna be in this together, but now with YH again? jesus.
Well LMH is the lead guy so most likely YH will be the second and pinning for her love (which isn't that like YB?) anyways, I'm more excited for LMH and PSH than anything else.
I am sort of waiting for YH to de-confirm this...
*sigh*, but oh well, it's his choice~

Yes, but the drama, You've Fallen For Me wasn't satisfying enough. It was not a great drama.

Reports have already suggested that he doesn't even have a loveline with PSH, so I don't get what the big deal is. His character will probably be more like Kim Bum in BOF. He'll have his own loveline separate from the main couple.

You're beautiful is my guilty pleasure (BOF not so much), but I'm really hoping Park Shin Hye's character is nothing like Geum Jan Di, the pretend tough girl or Go Min Nam, the naive and vomit-inducing cutey...Please, please, let the characters be 3d. *begs on knees* lol

Writer Kim Eun-seok doesn't impress me anymore. Her two recent dramas, Secret Garden and A Gentleman's Dignity, were all fluff and no heart. They were only memorable for the small moments, but overall the dramas were forgettable. I don't even want to watch them again.

I will mostly be watching this drama, but fast forward some of the scenes.

Triumph or unfolding disaster, I am going to watch.

I like LMH and with all the past comments on his acting (thank you to all who indulged my director vs. actor questions in previous threads) I am curious what he will bring to this drama. It seems to be a risky endeavor - too similar to other things he has done in the past, etc.

I also adore CN Blue - I like a lot of their music and that is really without knowing the lyrics well or starring at them when listening to the music. The music is good on its own minus the handsome guy factor. I am also definitely a fan of JYH. He is great with music and variety. I think with time, he has the personality to pull off acting but needs to put more effort in that direction. Considering he is in his early 20s with a band that debuted only a few years ago and is starting to enjoy more popularity, I don't imagine there is much time for acting classes. They really have performers stretched to capture as mush of the various media markets as possible.

Can't really speak about PSH as I don't think I have really watched any of her work.

The OST should be great, however! :)

If you read the comments, for the bloggers here nobody is good. None of the actors or the writer, neither the storyline and settings (which they do not really know).
I hope all of you are very beautiful, know how to act, know how to write...and are perfect in everything you do. NO drama, story or actors are going to be perfect for you. If you want perfection, DO IT YOURSELF! If not, just sit relax, enjoy or if you do not like the drama...switch the tv channel and watch something else. Some people are going to like it and others will not...that is life, that is everything. The bad part is when people take it too seriously as if they do not have a life. At least somebody is working hard and putting some money to make a production you can enjoy. If you do not like this one, wait for your turn. Take it easy and be happy! Ah...you do not have the right to talk bad about anybody...unless you are perfect!

again!! why?! i think they look good together, but I don't feel the chemistry between them when i'm watching. It feels kinda of force, even in you're beautiful. Enough with the Boys Over Flowers, partial remake!The script is soo over done ;( I'm 95% sure I'm going to skip this one, even with Lee Min ho...

The writer seems to be a BOICE. JYW's guesting stint in AGD was a forecast of her next drama plans.

I hope that JYW would be last IDOl to be casted in this show.. good heavens..

I hope they would not cast Jung Eunji for the 2nd female lead role.. (please NO.. I love her so much that I can't allow her to take just ANY drama..)..

I have nothing against who these actors are on their own, but together, just not feelin' it.
This has nothing to do with their personality. Im just sick and tired of PSH esp not venturing out of her comfort zone and lee min ho regressing back to his highschool days (BOF). Can't KES feature newer, newbie stars? Give em a break.

I loved LMH in City Hunter although it was not perfect and then Faith came along, bleh. I forced myself and just couldn't endure it. I had high expectation of his drama after Faith hoping he would prove to be a solid actor. Now this, I am so frustrated. No offence to PSH and YH but put all three together in a high school setup, chaebol heirs and all, it just looks so predictable. Why can't LMH do something that will make us all sit up and not know what to expect? He needs to take on more mature roles like his peers are doing. There are younger actors coming up, it would be dreadful if he were to be compared with them. Imagine how great if LMH were to act a gangster or villain? That'll be something to look forward to.

Read somewhere in PSH and YH's earlier interviews during Heartstrings FM in Japan - that if they end up in the same drama again, they should not play lovers as that would not be right. So I really doubt they will be lovers.

The writer should be well aware. The main focus should be on LMH and PSH's relationship.

The big NO NOs:

- Please please have a strong female lead, with brawns, brain and confidence. Not a Geum Jandi, Go Minam/Minyu type of character.
- NO high school drama. LMH is old enough to be a teacher! Don't regress!
- NO pining from JYH for PSH. NO NO NO! You must move on to other girls - at least in this drama.
- No pining from PSH for JYH. LMH is the love of your life...at least for this drama.

Oh my dear Yong, you are such an awesome and cute boy but why do you keep doing dramas that are so young! I know you said in your Singapore concert that you wanted to do a drama again and you've said before that you wanted to play a role more similar to your own personality but but but, surely you could do better than a rehash of F4? I mean, unless the writer is going to go all White Christmas on us [not even possible], the set up seems very boring. And if you want to improve your acting you should be doing more serious dramas =_= I don't care about how the writer and director are like some dream team but if the story is not suited for you then even dream team cannot help you!

I hope your romantic interest will not be Shin Hye again; there are only so many times an onscreen couple can partner each other before people start getting sick of the pairing.

Not sure why people are making noise about the cast being in high school. I mean I agree that college would be a better set up since there would be more issues to explore [you know, such as moving into working life, army and how relationships are tested as people move into a new phase in life writer-nim??? And please, we don't need another re-visitation of high school bullying.] but even for School 2013, the cast was the same age. Yonghwa is the same as Jong Suk and Woo Bin. Shin Hye is younger than Park Se young and as for Lee Minho, well, he and Seo Inguk are same age hahah so we'll see how that goes.

Rom-com for high schoolers....what could come out of that?

So true!!! It's highly unfair that a lot of dedicated SoEul fans have been trying to push for a SoEul reunion, yet none of the producers seem to heed their call. Kim Bum and Kim So Eun were just as much rumored to be a couple as Shin Hye and Yong Hwa.

If the latter managed to work together thrice, why can't the former? :(

Wow, the amount of hate in this comment section is actually pretty hilarious for how over the top it is. Folks are making predictions about plots and love lines and then getting themselves all worked up about it! It's like watching a toddler who started sniffling to gain attention work himself into a full blown scream fest just for the dramatics. That one comment with death threats takes the cake.

LOL I'm looking forward to this, especially if his role is going to be closer to his real personality - bright and bubbly - as he's hinted during a press con in Singapore last week. He was great in the 2 minute cameo in AGD - that side eye to JDG was epic. More of that please!

Some rumors that may or may not allay the fears :)
1. Likely not going to be a love line between JYH and PSH. Focus is more on LMH and JYH.

2. High School part may just be a small part of the drama to set the stage.

Wonder who YH's love interest would be this time? And looking forward to JYH-LMH bromance - if there's one thing this writer does well, it's that!

lol I loved your description here of the comment section! It always gets pretty blown out of proportion between the fans; both interesting and frustrating at the same time.

But I'm mainly liking the rumors you've mentioned. I'm all up for bromance, and if the high school part is just a small part, that alleviates my own frustrations as well. I reserve my judgments of all casting and story line for after I've actually seen the series. But there are always those news announcements that make you worry a little about whether or not the series will be worth the watch.

I love Jung Yong Hwa, so I do hope that he's improved in his acting. I've no fears about Park Shin Hye or Lee Min Ho since those two just ooze charm in all their glory. Though Lee Min Ho alone is enough for me to jump onboard (the only series of his I haven't seen is probably Boys Over Flowers, but only because I don't like the story).

Agree. I'll restate my neutral position. I'm not going to get worked up until I you know SEE the actual drama!!

=P What's this critiquing when it's not even WRITTEN yet? O.o; Or am I nuts for not wanting to judge something that's ya know, NOT WRITTEN.

I'm gonna wait, watch and then judge. Given her past dramas, I may need a few rounds to get up to episode 4, but seriously, with no drama in front of me, I'm not saying much.

now i'm really interested as to how the story will play out seeing that the writer had personally chosen the lead casts and now YongHwa...

i just hope that everyone will have an open mind with the possibility that this can be a phenomenal hit like the SG etc...i'm keeping my hopes up since I LOVE Park Shin Hye, Lee Minho and CNBLUe esp YongHwa...

I will definitely look forward to watching HEIRS come October...i cant wait!!!

SO MANY COMMENTS ALREADY. O_O

I like Yonghwa, but I don't ship him with Park Shin Hye at all.
I only watched them together in You're Beautiful.
Really felt sad for his character then.

The storyline behind Heirs doesn't sound that great either... Rich high school kids and their relationships. That just reminds me of Boys Before Flowers. Srsly. -___-;;

I love the casting no matter what other people say. I'd like to look on the positive side of things who knows they might get personality overhauls with this new drama (at least that's what I'm hoping) We might get a timid LMH, a dorky JYH and a bitchy PSH. Just the possibility of that happening makes me excited. Though if we never do get that (I'm still praying drama gods) at least we'd get some eye candy and I'm sure a hit OST from CNBlue or JYH or PSH. Haha!

Coming from watching Hong Kong dramas my whole life, the repeat pairing isn't really a big problem for me. Hong Kong is a small place and their major pool of acting talent is even smaller, so repeat pairings happen all the time; and depending on who gets paired together, we get these same conflicting feelings of: "Ugh, them again, how about something new?" or "Ooh, I love seeing them together, this will be an awesome drama!"

Granted, South Korean entertainment is a bigger place so there are enough actors, idols, etc. to cover a wide range of pairings. Basically, I'm just saying that it doesn't bother me, and if that particular pair has good chemistry, OTP or not, they're worth a watch. I'm more open to repeat pairings, maybe only because I'm used to seeing them a lot in Hong Kong.

As for Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye, I thought they had pretty good chemistry in You've Fallen For Me. To be totally honest, that may have been the only thing going for that series that kept me watching it, because the rest of the series just sunk. Park Shin Hye is charming, but Jung Yong Hwa is better off sticking to music. I love Jung Yong Hwa and I love CN Blue, but I have to admit that the boy can't really emote to keep me interested.

But I WILL admit that I'm a superficial fan-girl on this particular train this time. Between Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye, I was already onboard -- both are charming and skilled and beautiful and two of my favorite of the younger actors/actresses, and since they're probably the OTP, I'm fine with it. Jung Yong Hwa is going to be a "wait and see how he does" for me, because while he wasn't great in any of his roles, he wasn't completely repulsive either.

Now the story line is what I'm worried about... older people being cast in high school roles usually doesn't bode well with me. Especially when you can clearly see that they don't pull off the teenager image at all. (Such as in Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang, or Jung Il Woo's Ramyun Shop role despite how much I loved him). Park Shin Hye maybe could do it, but the boys... I don't see them as high school age material.

My only hope is that this series isn't entirely set in high school. And no, I haven't seen Boys Over Flowers, so I can't very well judge the looks of it... but from the posters and pictures I've seen, they don't quite look like high school students to me at all.

Honestly, how about we change the setting more for college... or try casting actual young'uns in high school series?

OMG and LOL at how divisive this casting article is. I'm a CNBlue fan and I am the first to admit that he isn't the best actor (not even in his own band) but my hope is that he will have improved a bit more in his time off. I think Heartstrings was a bit of a mess (I didn't finish watching it) because he wasn't nearly ready to carry a drama. As far as PSH, I like her and I am interested in the LMH pairing. The ship Yongshin irl and the bts videos are always adorable but I'm a little suprised that they are going to be in a drama again because unless the characters are EXTREMELY different (doubtful since it's called heirs) that's a bit redundant.

Casting rumors for Yonghwa in this appeared before Shin Hye was added so I think people need to lay off a bit. The drama team seems to like him for the role and he was in a pretty hilarious cameo for AGD, so I'm going to keep positive. I'm more worried about this high school thing, because I would prefer if they were all college kids and LMH was a grad student or something.

High schoolers? Someone please tell me these actors are cast as teachers because, you know, wtf? Are we being punked? This is a step back for these actors, time to be grown ups.

Ah, hell. I have been waiting for Lee Min Ho and was hoping for a mature plot in his next job. Was worried with the PSH casting due to her previous drama roles-she doesn't choose mature roles- but FBND was a step in the right direction so I had a little hope. Must prepare myself for the lip press of bored now, going to go watch the kissing scenes from Goong, you know, back in the day when teen characters could kiss in K drama land.

Trying to prop myself up and tell myself the writer gave us City Hall and Secret Garden. But cannot get past that means nothing if the characters are high schoolers.

I'm kinda bored him to death as an actor in his two dramas even I'm his fan.

He's always charming as a very attractive singer. Maybe it's those characters' false. I would like to give him another chance for his new roles but I can't since I don't want to watch PSH again this year!

I never like her characters in her dramas. It's always annoying and boring. She can act only these kind of characters??

Anyway, hope she would have cool or bad-ass role this time.

OK, Maybe you know her more than I do.

But I still have to say that I do watch most of her works because I kinda like her since Stairway to heaven and Tree of heaven. She's really pretty and sweet.

These years, her most roles are quite the same. You may find it different but I always group together "Clumsy" "not grown-up" "Cutie" "Boyish" "Ba-bo" or "typical characteristics of main female character in K-drama". I don't want to take side of second female leads anymore.

I want to see "cold-hearted" "badass" like her role in cyrano agency or maybe snobbish rich girl would be more interesting. I'm kinda sick of love story of poor girl and rich boy. Please!!! don't do it anymore!!!

She has never been in a rich boy poor girl scenario. All her roles have been different. "Cutie" "clumsy" seems to be dominant impression of her in your mind because of her role in "you're beautiful". Not surprised because that was the one of a kind. But it was not repeated in any other character played by her. HS, DWIAG, GOR7 and FBND since then are all totally different. If you look at the ones before YB, they are not cute ones too. TOH was totally melodrama. So was Souel 1945, several questions that make us happy. She was a brat in love phobia and cute or crazy. That shows that she can totally play "badass". Her movie evil twins was a horror flick. So as you can see she has played varied roles throughout.
Even this one is going to be totally different from previous ones. I base my prediction on two things
1. The roles played by her in movies, short dramas, serials etc
2. As a person too she is always challenging herself with new things that will take too long to mention. I for one am impressed by her achievements when she is only 23. She thinks right.

O give this drama, the writer and the broadcaster a break. So what if they pair again PSH and YH?. LMH is the main lead so he might get PHS at the end

You all may say they don't have chemistry or then plot sounds boring but give the whole production crew a break, they should know what they are doing which include taking the risk.......if all fail.

I am going to watch the drama as I don't like all the three that have been casted but still have a liitle trust the entire prod.team, director, writers know what they do bettr than us...so all the best.

It's 100 %. Every role , story director, writer is different. Shin hye is not the only one in the drama. In this one there might be someone else as his love line. The casting has not ended. School scenario has lots of people.
I am more concerned about Shin hye and LMH 's role since they are established actors. Their characters should be showing their progression in their acting careers. Do hope that KES will live up to the faith placed in her otherwise all their hard work and reputation will have serious setbacks.
I am praying that Shin hye gets a role where she can show her capabilities since I have heard that KES is known for heavily tilted characters favouring male characters.
The fact that everyone's reputation is at stake from writer to director to actors and actress is something that is relieving for me. In placing my faith in them that they know what they are doing, I am looking forward to watching this drama.
I have a feeling that it will have some surprises in store for us.
