Gong Yoo becomes Cyrano Agency’s newest client
by javabeans
How adorable is this? Gong Yoo will be making a guest appearance on tvN’s Dating Agency Cyrano, and he’ll be hiring targeted by our resident matchmakers to woo by his co-star Jung Yumi (Queen of the Office). It’s a reunion for the actors, who were paired together in 2011’s The Crucible, although I would almost say that that movie doesn’t count in the coupledom sense since it was so dark and weighty, telling a tale of abused children that was based on a true story.
Still, it’s a cheeky nod to put them together again, and I think the pairing is adorable. Gong Yoo’s connection to the show is through his close buddy Lee Chun-hee, who plays the mysterious Master who runs the restaurant next door and knows an awful lot about the workings of the dating agency. Hilariously, Jung Yumi plays a woman who can’t even look men in the eye, thanks to her “man phobia.” This should be good.
There have been tons of television shows that utilize the star cameo to bolster ratings, often to lackluster effect or sometimes for no purpose other than to say they scored a big name. But I think Dating Agency Cyrano has really used the cameo device as an actual asset rather than liability, with each client-and-target case occupying a two- or three-episode mini-arc. Thus far we’ve had Lee Yoon-ji as a snooping librarian, Ji Jin-hee as a lovelorn suitor, and Lee Kwang-soo as a dorky masochist. I’ve enjoyed all of their bits and have hopes that this one will continue that trend.
It’s reportedly not a very long guest spot, so perhaps it’s a shorter-than-usual case. The segment was filmed last week and airs in the show’s ninth episode, which broadcasts next Monday.

So Master's friend will all be tall dark and handsome like him? I guess his previous job before opening his own restaurant was a model :) Well, it's Gong Yoo and I'll take anything that got him in it.
Love that picture, he made the saddest puppy like expression ever and it made me want to hug and console him :p

TAE-MAN was in it too. (I know he's an idol, and wasn't very manly in his cameo but still..)

wohooo!! Awesome pairing, I've liked Jung Yumi since QSS and I think she's incredible underrated.
Manphobia, now this should be good can't wait because she can pull off quirky characters.
And I bet they look adorable together.

Love Jung Yu Mi! Its so appropriate that shes the first female client for Cyrano, she always seems to choose unconventional roles.
