Yoon Shi-yoon to play prime minister’s aide
by girlfriday
Gah, now this show is adding people I like. Upcoming new odd-couple rom-com Prime Minister and I (that’d be Lee Beom-soo and Yoon-ah as the odd couple, and don’t try to tell me it’s not odd) has just added Yoon Shi-yoon (Flower Boy Next Door) and the younger Lee Min-ho (Sword and Flower) to its cast. AGH, Yoon Shi-yoon, are you gonna make me watch this? And am I going to regret it?
The new KBS Monday-Tuesday drama comes from the writers of Sweet 18 and My Fair Lady, and the PD of Ad Genius Lee Tae-baek. It stars Lee Beom-soo as a prime minister and single father of three who’s a pro at his job and a total mess at home. Yoon-ah plays the nanny/governess/Julie Andrews person who saves him by getting a handle on the kids. I think she does it without musical numbers, though it was being called a Sound of Music-esque show, so who knows.
Yoon Shi-yoon will join the cast as the prime minister’s chief of staff, a member of the top 1% elite civil servants in the country, with a sharp brain and perfect looks to boot. It’s hard to picture just because I’m still seeing Enrique in him, but I suppose this is as different a role as he can get. Lee Min-ho has been cast as a hungry reporter who’s always chasing that next feature, and Chae Jung-ahn (When A Man Loves) plays the prime minister’s public relations officer. If Yoon-ah’s character is a former reporter, she might have a connection to Lee Min-ho, while Chae Jung-ahn will have a university connection to Lee Beom-soo, besides obviously being on his staff.
I love Lee Beom-soo, but I’m honestly going to have a hard time not rooting for the more age-appropriate romantic pairings in this love square… pentagon… thingy. Who knows, the show could totally surprise me. Stranger things have happened, right?
Prime Minister and I follows Mi-rae’s Choice in December.

I love Shi Yoon oppa and I would also really like to see him in another roll as an Enrique like character. Fun and playful, but with a surprisingly serious side occasionally~

Nooo..this drama is so not my type with LBS & Yoona pairing but since YSY is on board, I am in....aaah...Please let this be less romance and more bromance between YSY and LBS!! I like the description of YSY character so far...hopefully, he's not playing the villian (his character got a secret..hmm)

I am so sick of `I won`t watching this drama because of Yoona` thing.
You didn`t even see the drama and you already are judging her performance. Fine, you didn`t like her previous work, but honestly she is not that bad, she has the stigma of being SNSD member, i saw her in Love Rain and she was ok. Plus there are some great actors in this drama , so only for her you are gonna miss out?
I`m ok with people saying that the story doesn`t appeal to them. But saying you are not gonna watch a drama for one person, even if you like others she works with, is ridiculous.
I`m a Yoon Shi Yoon fan and i`ll watch this for him and i don`t even care he is a second lead. Being second lead to Lee Beom Soo is an honer.
And Yoona might surprise us all and give a great performance. So i`ll watch first and judge later.

people love to hate Yoona because she's Yoona, in the idol world and acting world.

I don`t even like her, but i don`t see how is she any worse then some `actresses` like Lee Yeon Hee,Shin Se Kyung or Han Ga In. And those get jobs all the time and nobody says a word.

Second this! Totally true!!!
Although I like Yoona very much and the main reason for that is not her being pretty (because she's not pretty, she is beautiful and there's a huge difference between the two) but rather her being so strong with all the hatter s*it going her way all the time just for being, well, Yoona.

u know, k-dramas full of bullshit fangirls, most of fangilrs will forever hate someone more pretty more talented and popular one, not only in drama fans, around school circumtance, its happen too, so yeah, i didnt surprise fangirls hating o yoona, because she is too good to be a girl, from what i know about her, but most of girls will blame her all the time... judging before even watch her dramas. too immature and unprofessional as watcher.
i like yoon shi yoon in flower boy next door. so i am happy he joined this drama.

the obsession with the "age appropriate" relationships are so dumb. Adults are adults, especially because her character is 28. If she was 16 and he was 40 that would be completely different but nope.

I think it's a good move for Yoon Shi Yoon to hop onto the variety show bandwagon albeit Barefoot Friends's perilous ratings. He has to show people his personality outside dramaland. As for his previous dramas (Me, too! Flower and Flower Boy Next Door) while it flew outside the majority's radar, it did however stick to some, enough to have like a cult following kinda thing.
I am going to trust YSY's instinct on this. Who knows? Maybe the script is that good that he's willing to play the second male lead. It's not like he's playing number 2 to someone who has lesser acting abilities than he does. I mean, that's LBS. I feel the male lead is tailored for him. I don't really care about the age difference. I was just hoping the female lead be up LBS's alley...someone who's decent enough in acting. Yoon-ah's just...bleh.

Ummmm yoona falls in the same acting category as suzy n uee so I'm not sure what's all the fuss is about. It must be the purple shaded glasses.

For the record, Georg Ludwig Ritter von Trapp was 47 when he married Maria Augusta Kutschera 1927, when she was 22. He had seven children by his first wife and they had three more together, one of them allegedly conceived before marriage.
'The Sound of Music' compresses about twelve years of their lives together into a period that seems more like about twelve months. However, I've never heard anyone complain about the movie being squicky because of the age difference.

Yoon Shi Swoon.
Why are you doing this to me? Do you know I started watching Happy Noodle because of you? Do you know I've reached both my fangirl zenith and nadir because of you? Someone needs to answer for this! Please choose something as good as Nice Guy or QIHM before you leave us for 2 years.
But I do hope this show is good and does well.

Whoa, this drama is starting to add people that I love. I've been waiting for Yoon Shiyoon's comeback but sadly the premise of this drama doesn't seem interesting at all to me (I still don't get the Sound of Music concept and the whole Lee Beomsoo-Yoona romance)

oh girls! Stop wonder why shi yoon choose a second lead role. Don't u think it is because of the script. I think the script is too gud and this encouraged him to choose to role. It is ok for a young artist like shi yoon to potray a second lead role after an A-class star like Lee Beom-Soo

What to do now!! I like all the actors and actress in this drama except from the main actor, Lee Beom-soo. Are they going to act as father and daughter? So odd.. >_<. What the....among all good looking guys, Yoona will fall in love with Lee Beom-soo??
