Ex-boyfriend cameos galore in I Need Romance 3

56 January 6, 2014January 6, 2014

by girlfriday

Our heroine has quite the lineup of ex-boyfriends to cameo in the premiere of I Need Romance 3. The opening episode will reportedly feature a hit parade of exes, including cameos from Joo Sang-wook (Good Doctor), singer John Park, and Alex (Medical Top Team), whom we’ve seen in the first teaser. Then the second teaser below reveals the timely return of Sung Joon, the younger man she’ll meet and not recognize as the little boy next door she grew up with.

The third installment of the I Need Romance series stars Kim So-yeon as a 32-year-old fashion marketing director who’s developed a thick skin in both the workplace and in romance. She’d rather be called names behind her back than to be stepped on at work, and is known as a ball-buster without a heart. She finds that dating is much the same no matter which guy she’s with, and approaches relationships like everything else in life: with calculations.

Sung Joon is the 26-year-old songwriter and carefree spirit who returns to Korea after seventeen years living abroad. Up until the age of 9, he was practically raised by his mom’s friend and her daughter, our heroine. She only remembers him as a kid she was forced to play with when her mom was busy, while all his early memories from bath time, to play time, to learning how to tie his shoe, include her. In the teaser she hears from Mom that he’s back and assumes he’s a playboy and a punk who did nothing with his life, and then flirts with him at a club not knowing he’s that same kid. Lol, I’m so embarrassed for her.

Wang Ji-won plays her rival and Namgoong Min her work sunbae who competes for her affections. Park Hyo-joo, Yoon Seung-ah, and Park Yoo-hwan play her teammates and best friends, and they’ll make up the core foursome of friends at the heart of the story. A noona romance to ring in the new drama year? I can’t think of anything better.

I Need Romance 3 premieres Monday January 13 on tvN.

I cannot wait for this! It's not enough that I actually loved both earlier seasons (I know, but I totally disagree with the majority about the endings...although I do find that it tends to skew by age, too)

anyway...SUNG JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ! So ready for him in a noona romance. SO. READY. BEEN. READY. Bring it, baby. Mama wants!

I also loved both seasons and I was really happy with both endings, so... Well I also find it strange when people disagree because I love the whole serie, both times. How do you think it differs by age? I'm curious

It's time to have a different output though, and I'm ready to root for Sung Joon! YAY!

My very informal recollection was that older viewers tended to understand the choices the heroine makes more easily than younger viewers. Dependent, of course, on relationship experience. More varied experiences, more understanding. One true love with no serious bumps, less understanding.

I'm on board with both the previous shows and their endings. I guess that definitely goes along with your "age" theory!

Super super super excited for this drama. I loved the first season although I was upset at the ending, the second season I didn't finish, it didn't draw me in aw much, but this looks so interesting. I love Noona dramas and its Sung Joon *swoon* I hope its amazing. Also is that a guy bestfriend I see in their circle....that is so interesting!

Me too...I'm hoping this season won't disappoint, especially with SUNG JOON :)

I don't know why they decided to make Park Yoo Hwan (Yoo Chun's brother!) so girly looking though...or maybe that was his choice...?

I think his character is old fashioned or something? That middle part is like Korea 80s90s and the dyed hair is like the early 2000s. I think his character is supposed to be innocent/retro. OR...I'm just reading into things.

With all these cameos I want to watch their stories. Haha. I did not see Namgoong Min in the teasers. I think he will come later in the scene. I`m eagerly waiting for I Need Romance 3.

Somehow, I am so amused that in the trio of girls, there's a guy. Is he the maknae? I can imagine how they treat him. HA.

When they need something: "maknae-yah, help noona do this-this-this" *Lazes on sofa*

When they break up: "Why did that namja dump meeee??!!" *Gulps down soju. Gets drunk. Pukes everywhere. Leaves mess for bro to clean up*

When they go shopping: "Aigoo~ this bag is just so charming!~" "Does this dress make me look fat?"

When they get indignant: "TCH! That son of a *****, the bloody ******, how dare he ****, ass****" *dude just wants to go home but noona forces him to sit and listen*

LOL. I am in for this!

When big noona realises she flirted with the neighbour's scruffy kiddo: "OH MY GOD HOW?!" *Poor guy sits there, deadpanned*

Hahaha... That will be fantastic but I doubt it. I bet he is the first boyfriend who would breakup with her. OK, we will get a breakup scene but we wish at least a kiss from when they were happy! Why you tease us, show?! ...for nothing?!

I don't know why, but everytime I hear John Park's Falling, I always imagining Sung Joon singing it to me.
So seeing their names together in an article (a drama even!).... uummpphh not so good to my cosmic universe.
