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.

This is a big mistake for Yonghwa acting career, he will be type cast as Shin hye shadow, he needs to be paired with other actress, their last pairing was a flop can't u learn from previous mistake? Two is enough three is too much boring, people will boycot this drama

I don't think the pairing is a flop.. from what I've gathered around they are a famous paring if not in Korea, in other contries.

Keeping in mind their tremendous popularity as a pair within and outside Korea one can safely assume that they are by no means a flop.
In fact they were the only saving grace of the drama along with the beautiful music and the setting and the trials and tribulations of the college going youth. A golden opportunity to exploit their popularity as a pair was lost due to subpar script and story, changing the director and author midway. Furthermore last minute hasty changes and an episode less due to Shin Hye's accident made the ending lack lustre.
The failure of a drama definitely does not rest only on the actors. In this case definitely the reasons were other.
A memorable drama results due to each one doing their part starting from the writer, director, cast, editor, music composer, cameraman, set designer, stylist etc. This is why I am totally at a loss about people predicting not only the fate of the drama but also assigning the reasons for it when not a single episode has been aired and also we really don't have much to go on.

Heartstrings and You're Beautiful needed singers. So of course it made sense to use them. While LMH isn't a singer, he can sing, and so I'm wondering, is there going to be music involved in this because of who they are picking.

Lol LMH is suppose to play a high schooler? There's no way he can still pass himself off as one. I have no problem with older people playing high school students so long as they can pass themselves off as one.

Onto the casting news. Eh, I was already feeling iffy about this drama because of the genre (I love teen romance dramas, but when it comes to k-dramas, for some reason, I can never get into them with the exception of Dream High.). The drama gods are telling me not to watch this drama by adding Yonghwa to the mix. Love the guy for his music, but frankly he's terrible at picking roles and he hasn't proven his worth as an actor. He always goes for the same kind of drama (teen, romance -- does he want to be known as a one-trick pony that can only act in only one specific genre?), the previous two characters that he played were so two-dimensional, and his acting wasn't good. He should be like the rest of CNBLUE and work his way up by taking smaller supporting roles and prove that he's worthy of taking larger roles before taking them on.

And Park Shin Hye and Yonghwa together again? Does he always pick his projects according to whether or not she stars in it?

I predict that this drama will either do very well or very badly in Korea in terms of ratings.

Wow, so much comments for so little info!

As Yonghwa's fan, obviously I will take my weekly dose of him with open arms. Although maybe I will embrace that FF button.
I actually don't mind people criticize his acting as long as they word it nicely. He needs to improve. I don't deny that. But I don't agree with the fuss about repeat pairing, the story which we don't even know yet nor the prejudgement about high school setting.
Repeat pairing happens a lot in other asian countries' dramas, but I've never saw the objection as strong as what happen right now. And Yonghwa-Shinhye are not even the main couple.
For people who think they are too old for high school, maybe you should check again the casts of reply 1997.

wow, I can't believe that there are 206 comments in this one small article. I'm sure before this drama get to be released, the comments will reach into 500 or more. I can't even read all of them. The more you talk about this, the more popularity these three main casts will get. This is really so..... interesting. Can't wait to read the future comments. Somehow, I enjoy reading the comments. Keep sending comments...

I get what you are saying because I too have different expectations from each of these artists, writer, director etc for me to be able to enjoy the drama.
I know that I will love seeing JYH on screen and am excited about the music and the songs that he will be composing ( I hope that he will). Maybe a duet involving him and Shin Hye. LMH too since I believe he can sing also. Have not heard him as yet.

Come on!! Why him?? Why Jung Yong Hwa get to be the one with the broken heart?? Its so obvious that there's gonna be a triangle between Min ho, Shin Hye and Yong Hwa. And naturally, Jung Yong Hwa would be the one who loses out in the triangle. Urgghh.. I hate seeing him sad...

How do you know if there will be a love triangle? Have you seen & read the script or are you basing it from his previous dramas? I don't think it will be the same. The scrip writer, director and producers knows everything and knows what they are doing plus they know what the viewers are thinking. So, let's just wait and see.

I like each individual actor on their own merit, However I feel they are getting their money's worth out of Park Shin-hye - 4 kdrama's is enough. You're Beautiful was fun to watch but felt she and Jung Yong Hwa had better chemistry and it was proven in Heartstrings. Now I read they are dating? The chemistry shows during the performance so not sure how this will play out if she is with LMH.
Poor casting in my opinion by staff; not sure I'll watch this one even with LMH & JYH.

Just try watching it and you will know if it's worth watching or not. I myself had watch the two dramas You're Beautiful and Heartstrings. All actors and actresses did their best and it came out well. It touched my heart and I learned a lot from the story. Well, the acting of Jung Yong Hwa might not be that perfect in the Heartstrings but he had improved and I know he will in his next drama The Heir. pls. don't hesitate to watch The Heir

Can people just stop bashing Yong Hwa and Shin Hye? It's not them that ask for a third drama together. What's up with you people? If you get used to them in a drama together, then don't watch, easy as that. Go make your own drama so you can stop your bullshits.

exactly, that is precisely my thoughts. it's as if those negative & hateful comments could deliver them what they hoped for, that yonghwa and shinhye won't do the project together or either be replaced by their own biases. yeah, why don't you do your own k-drama have your biases casted, your plots, writers & directors all of your own choices. why, for heaven sake can't we be happy for yonghwa & shinhye for accepting this drama. if the drama starts airing and you don't like the outcome stop watching and let the others who will enjoy it, enjoy it. be happy people. we have so much problems in this world to add these petty little things in the list.

Why don't you just wait for this drama to air and then comment? You guys are being rude to JYH. I'm an avid fan of him. I'll be honest, his previous acting wasn't that good compared to other actors. But he is not an actor so do not expect him to be good in it. It's like you're asking an engineer to cure diseases; a doctor to make state-of-the-art buildings. He is a singer, song-writer, composer, host, guitarist, leader, and a good elder brother to his bandmates. His acting skills might change this time. Why don't you give him a chance to prove his acting talent this time? I'm pretty sure he is more matured now because he experienced acting before. Change is constant dude. As a fan, I know him better than anyone of you so do not judge him.

No, No, No.

Do you want Jonghwa to perform surgery on someone? Sure, he may have killed the first two patients, but 'why don't you give him a chance to prove his surgery talents this time? I'm pretty sure he is more matured now because he experienced surgery before. Change is constant dude.'

Granted, surgery is not the same as acting, but it is still a profession so show it some respect. He already does some things quite well - to be a true fan, do you have to believe he does everything well, and that he should be allowed to do everything just because he does some things acceptably?

Oh no...what will JYH say about your comments. He's probably thinking that you don't trust him or you're telling him that he can't do acting. I know someone who can do both acting and singing which means multi-talented. And God can give those talents and skills (both singing and acting) to anybody and I believe God gave JYH both acting and singing and even playing the guitar. I know he excel mostly on singing but he can still improve in acting because he has it. Please let us stop our judgment to Yong Hwa. He had enough negative criticisms already.

I am wondering what changes there are as this is drama is about teenagers and their love SO this means Kim eun sook has changed her same path of writing a plot!

I am wondering HOW possibly these top notch actors are blindly trusting the writer???!!!
I am wondering why they took a quick decision??!!
I HOPE IT WILL BE A HIT DRAMA!

It does not make sense! Is this writer THIS MUCH brilliant that they all have trusted her blindly!??

I do not care about other people's notions but DON'T YOU THINK YOU ARE prejudge and misjudging?!!

I have a hunch that this time kim eun sook's drama fundamentally differs from the other drama of hers.
some say that "Secret garden" and Gentleman'dignity suck and were not captivating BUT do not forget that this time everything is different!
I do not think that Kim eun sook is gonna risk her fame and give the same pedestrian and uninteresting role 2 JYH as those of his previous dramas!
anyways all the notions are respected!

i will definitely waiting for it... you can't judge the casting and the drama until you will watch it ...on my opinion , the writer has her own reason why she gave/entrusted the role to the three stars... and why she entrusted the role to JYH, simply because she saw the potential on him... I don't think seeing JYH and PSH together again on the third time around for me is disappointment but an exceptional... i love them .. the casting and i will definitely watch it no matter what ...

I really enjoy reading the comments. At last people is now being fair and not giving negative comments. Looking forward for some comments to read, ha...ha..ha.. anyways, if the drama The Heir will be released this October, people still have at least 5 months to wait and while waiting, those who decided not to watch the drama, will end up watching it. We need to pray that the drama will come out very good with good acting, good lesson to learn from it, hoping it will be perfect.

Frankly, I'm just glad to see Yong-hwa acting in another drama. I've missed him. Sure, both (now three) of his dramas were with Shin-hye but really, is it that terrible? There have been worse pairings.

Now, if they throw in say Jang Geun-suk or Park Min-young into the mix?

They'd kill me with waiting.

I hope they don't change this casting though. I'm really curious to see Min-ho, Shin-hye and Yong-hwa act together. Not to mention, crazy about seeing that beautiful Yong-hwa Oppa again. ♡

Hey guys! I saw a promotional video of the drama The Heir in youtube. It looks like the ending will be Park Shin and Lee Minho will end up together and the setting is in HS. Yong Hwa was not shown there because they focus it with Park Shin and Lee Minho. It looks like that this will be a love triangle which I don't like it. Why do the script writer always pick Yong Hwa as the pitiful guy. Anyways, I will still watch this drama for the sake of Park Shin and Yong Hwa. I hope there's a twist towards the end that Park Shin and Yong Hwa will end up together.

I am expecting something VERY different,cool,exciting,mind blowing BECAUSE
In all the websites which I visited,THEY ALL mention how creative,successful the scriptwriter is!!!

I am a bit worried because they CAST themselves DO NOT know much about the drama
they TRUST the scriptwriter!!!
why???

since this time Kim eun sook has chenged her same way of writing SO THE CAST should have thought long and hard!!!!!

I am a devoted fan of LEE MIN HO AND all I want is his success and satisfaction!!

I am sure that by now both have experienced enough negative comments to know how to handle them.
The constructive criticism and how it is expressed always help one to improve as long. In fact, one actually benefits from it by being motivated by it to become better and stronger by going through it . Such experiences empowers one to face the next time more easily.
I wish these young actors and actresses are given a chance to continue to grow and show their abilities without experiencing some comments that are extremely harsh and hurtful and are based on judgements and pure assumptions. They surely deserve better due to what they have already achieved at such a young age by sheer hard work and talent. They have definitely earned my respect and admiration.

Disappointed because it would have been awesome! But then again maybe not because I love lee minho too
