But when will he get to sleep? :/ :(

Why he works so much?
I think he is under huge debt.

A quadruplet love affair? They can barely handle a three way, how how they going to pull off a 4 way.

The worst thing is there is no mystery. Everyone reading this already know who is going to get the girl. So why bother with so many men.

I am dreading this.

Sorry this isn't related to the post (but I am indeed excited for more Joo Won) but I'm doing the welcome speech to my school's graduation in Korean and I was wondering if you fellow beanies could help me with the translation. Here's all I have to say:

"Greetings! Welcome family and friends of the Oak Grove Graduating Class of 2014. To my fellow graduates, I wish you much success and happiness in the future."

Much thanks!

I'm never really into these joint projects. Meh. At least Joo-won and Hangeng can communicate with each other. Ha.

About Nodame... I so liked the original, but this is Joo-won, so I know he'll be great. Now, it's that leading lady I'm worried about. Please cast well! And writers, please write well!

Would be glad if Chinese speakers can explain what Xiao You Qiao Mu means.

If thats the (non)premise they're going with, then MCW is ironically also doing a movie that has a similar set-up (with 3 friends fall in love with one woman). Hope they don't dub it, because no matter how great it is, I'm out if they do that.

Another movie? Good for him.

Actually I want to see him in Korean movie more, he's one of the best actor in his age group and I really want him to succeed in Korea first before going to China.

I'm more interested in his comeback to dramaland. But I dont want to place my hope high, yes the J-drama/movie version is good but that will not guarantee that it will be good too for Korean version. I hope for a more promising news in the coming months.

I dont really enjoy his other projects except his awesome Ojakkyo Brothers and Bridal Mask. I hope I can have that feel good feeling again... Here's hoping.

Happy filming puppy, please take care of your health.

Very little details here so I did some research for people who are interested in finding out more. I don't think I'll ever watch this since I'm not interested in joint productions.

Frankly, I've never heard of the book/novel/whatever before, and after a quick search on Google using the pinyin nothing showed up. So, upon entering Joo Won's "Chinese name" in to the search engine, I realised that the film is actually called "Xia You Qiao Mu, Ya Wang Tian Tang" = 《夏有乔木，雅望天堂》. I shall translate it as "There are trees in summer watching the heaven" (yes, I apologize but that's the best I can do). I don't think the title makes sense except for the fact that the writer is trying to force fit his/her characters' names in there whilst trying to sound as sophisticated as possible. That being said, let your imaginations run wild as to what it could possibly mean.

*Spoiler*

The novel portrays a May-December relationship (6 years) or what people here call noona romance and also unrequited love. The heroine's name is 雅望 (Ya Wang) and I'm thinking Joo Won will play 夏木 (Xia Mu) if he's the first lead. Basically, something big happens and Xia Mu goes to jail for Ya Wang (I'm guessing he killed(?) someone to protect her). And they get together after Ya Wang gave up her love for guilt/regret. Something like that - don't take my word for it, I summarised the plot after reading the synopsis from various sources.

uggghhhhh. So the rumor is true. I heard this piece of news some months ago. I just though of it as fabrication. It turns out everrything is so real.

At least I can see him in drama on next October.

Oh. I heard this rumor since the beginning of this year. It turns out all information is true.

At least I still can see him in dramaland on upcoming October.

i hope he will not take it coz i hate Hangeng

Not related to the subject - cute to see Joo Won and Ryu Deok Hwan articles nearby. Brings fond memories of Good Doctor.
Hoping for a good result in this melo :)

this sounds dumb
three guys chasing one girl... yeah great...
like we don't get enough of those =.=
i honestly don't think this will give them the response they want even with a popular actor like Joo Won.
I love him, but I can sense people just skipping it and waiting for downloads instead.

several months ago (irrc just after the chinese new year ) it's rumored that Han geng and Lee min-ho will act in this, female lead is a female idol from SM, the movie will be filmed in Busan.

it seems the rumor is not groundless, Hangeng confirmed, it'll filmed in korea, the writer already went there. I hope the female lead part was false for god's sake.

I believe in Joo Won. He has already proved to people who keeps predicting that his movies, dramas, or musicals will get bombed wrong over and over again. So L7CS was not that good, ratings-wise, but still you've got to admire him for having the courage to take up a genre he's never tried before. Most actors would just stick to a certain genre just because they were good at it. An actor who ventures in different genre shows his professional attributes than those who don't.

I would love to see him prove them all wrong. I like NC too, but i'm putting my trust in Joo Won in portraying Chiaki. Just as i am putting my trust in him in portraying his character in this movie.

And we'll say it again: See you at the awards night. :)
