Cute, romantic teaser for time-traveler Mi-rae’s Choice
by javabeans
Interesting—the upcoming time-travel KBS drama Mi-rae’s Choice (also translated Future Choice) looks a lot more cute and light-hearted than I was anticipating. With just the description to go on, I’d presumed it would be mostly dramatic as Yoon Eun-hye is somehow confronted by her older self, who finds a way to travel back to her thirtysomething version to warn her about her future. As in, don’t marry Lee Dong-gun. (And I’m wondering, why the heck not? I hope there’s a good reason that doesn’t involve him being a serial killer or lowlife.)
In the whimsical trailer, we see Mi-rae (Yoon Eun-hye) mulling over her dilemma: Lee Dong-gun is “the man I want to love,” but Jung Yong-hwa is “the man I have to love.” I’m a little puzzled since wouldn’t you want to end up with the guy you want to love, not the one you feel you ought to? Ah, well I’m sure the show will answer that in due course. At least Mi-rae knows it’s hardly the worst problem in the world to have, as she smiles and the caption tells us, “It’s a happy choice and dilemma.”
Then Choi Myung-gil shows up as the 2043 version of Mi-rae and the question becomes “Who is the heroine dealing with this happy problem?” Both ladies wrestle to claim the remote control (cute metaphor) and wonder, “Me?” Haha. I do hope that is a metaphorical representation of the conflict and not that we’ll actually have them fighting over who gets the right to drive the Mi-rae bus, because doesn’t that defy the laws of time and space or something?
In any case, while I hadn’t been thinking that Mi-rae’s Choice would be in the romantic comedy vein, I won’t be disappointed in the least if that’s what we get. I have yet to see Jung Yong-hwa come alive in any of his acting roles (which is funny since he’s much more engaging as himself, I think), but I’m looking forward to watching the sparks fly between Yoon Eun-hye and Lee Dong-gun. I’ll be crossing my fingers that the show can deliver on the tone of this preview—comedic, bright, and a little dreamy.
Mi-rae’s Choice will follow Good Doctor on Mondays and Tuesdays, premiering October 14.

I think her hair would be perfectly fine if she didn't have bangs. I think that's why people don't like it. Besides, it's a trademark of her character and it shows about her personality. Mi Rae will change her hair eventually, I'm guessing because she develops more as a character. I can't wait for this show to start!

Yong Hwa in person is way better and way more interesting than all his characters!
I absolutely adore him and his musical talents, but dunno what's wrong about his acting, he seems so restrained when portraying his characters...I really hope he can make his characters as fun as he is in real life!
Looking forward to the drama!

Seriously, the hair is not much of a deal-breaker people! I'm just excited to see YEH in a drama that I can watch, haven't watched any of her shows post CP and hoping this will make me endear to her character again like Eun-Chana did.

I missed Lee Dong Gun so I think I'll tuning just to see him working the swag and charm YEH of her socks. Hopefully I can see the spark and chemistry flying all over the place like JJW X TGS. Huhuhuhu that one is almost at the end already, I need a new fix to replace that T_______T

Haha, Yoon Eun-hye and that girl who was the young Sohn Ye-jin in "Shark" should be sisters, since the latter has such BAD hair in "Eun-hee".

At first I didn't give this drama much thought, but now I might just watch it (if only for lee dong gun :P). I like this teaser too, this looks like it's gonna be funny and perky *fingers crossed*
Side note: Seriously, although that perm just gives me tremendous eye-ache, I am happy Yoon Eun Hye at least got rid of that super intense purplish pink (or is it pinkish purple? oh well, who cares?!) lip-stick she was sporting in I Miss You (couldn't bring myself to watch that drama after reading the recaps, seemed like a total waste of time)

I think you wasted time thinking I Miss You was a waste of time. Your loss.

Where have I seen that hair before?? It's starred in another KDrama. Yes, it's awful but it's become it's own protagonist! I just can't remember which drama...? Hmmm

YEH is such a charismatic star who gives a stamp of uniqueness to any role. Her array of expressions are so enjoyable to watch. I would watch a drama just for her. Looking forward to this drama. LDG and YH are good to see also. Although I liked YH and PSH so much that I wonder what this will be like for me ??? Good thing he is the second lead. :)
