Jin Se-yeon, Hong Jong-hyun couple up in Family of Cops

Meeeeh. I wish I could be more excited for Hong Jong-hyun (Mama, Dating Agency Cyrano) as he is headlining the upcoming rom-com Family of Cops, but he’s been paired with Jin Se-yeon (Doctor Stranger, Age of Feeling), who has worked alongside some of the most popular male leads out there (Lee Jong-seok, Park Hae-jin, Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Jae-wook, Joo Ji-hoon, Ji Chang-wook, Joo Won, and Choi Jin-hyuk) over the past five years and has consistently turned out unremarkable performances opposite them.

At least the plot sounds light and fun: Jin will play the daughter in a family of police officers, who falls in love with Hong Jong-hyun, the son of a notorious clan of criminals. The movie will follow the two’s desperate antics as they struggle to obtain the blessing to wed from both families. Behind the camera will be Kim Jin-young, who has a few comedy films (Tone-Deaf Clinic, Dangerous Meeting) and shows (Flower Grandpa Investigation Unit, Full House Take 2) under his belt.

My expectations for the chemistry between the pair are low, but perhaps PD Kim and the charming Hong will be able to coax a more compelling performance from Jin Se-yeon. I’m willing you to make me eat my words, Family of Cops!

Production begins in October for a release next year.

Meeeeh x 100000000000000000000000000000000.
So disappointing for Hong Jong-hyun. Really, it's beyond belief. They might as well have cast a new idol actress, at least I'd have some hope then! Really, I just can't think of any positives with her.

What agency does she belong to? Even SM idol actresses don't get as many lead rolls as her. And to be frank, I rather watch a drama with all members of SNSD and FX than to see another drama of hers. She ruined Doctor Stranger for me. Her acting hasn't shown any growth at all despite all of her talented leading men. =____=.

I'm beginning to think that's true...all google searches of her agency (early bird) only show her and Park Eun-hye. Kinda fishy to me...especially because she's been able to nab all these leading roles despite her lack of acting ability. It's enough to get regular ol' kdrama/kmovie watchers like myself a bit riled up that these leading roles continue to go towards those that don't deserve it at all (here's lookin' at you, JSY and SSK) -.-

My thoughts exactly. The silver lining to this news is that it is only a movie, and not a drama. *phew. Who knows, she may fare better in a rom-com..?

But my real question is when will real talents like Kim Ji Won and Lee Yubi get chances like this, and a leading role? I'm looking to you cable! And hopeful for a Kim Woo Bin-Kim Ji Wob pairing! :)

@bluenz I couldn't get myself to watch Heirs in its entirety and resorted to clips online because I basically loved and enjoyed every other character and optional pairing more than the OTP.

So now I hope to see them do a drama together, preferably cable so they can be hot and steamy, ha!

You're exactly right...she's got a well-known actress as a mother and she can't seem to get any offers for lead roles -- which marks me as odd, because one would think that since she's already got an established actress in her background (with her own acting chops, to boot), LYB instead would be the one being offered these lead roles, rather than supporting roles.

It's such a shame because lead roles should be offered to those who can actually act. It still boggles me that the young actresses who can actually act don't get these offers -- what is she lacking? Tsk tsk, kdrama casting people.

Established and in-demand actors will get scripts and casting offers. I'm pretty sure that for anything that isn't a lead role, you'll still get lots of auditions.

Dramas show the auditions too. Plus 9 Boys even shows the 9-year old going to auditions (with the suggestion that he attends many all the time). I think You're the Best had an audition too (within the drama).

Thanks, guys.

I do know auditions happen sometimes. For example--Flower Boy Ramyun Shop had auditions and so did Shut Up! (in the form of a reality show, I think). Also, the occasional appearance of a new face leads me to believe that as well. However, I meant that I don't think a lead role has an audition process especially for a Big 3 drama, maybe a film--just names the writers and PDs think will fit the role. I don't even think minor roles have auditions much of the time, either. Idols and possibly models, if their company can support them, I believe they can get a role without auditioning.

Yea it can be double standards at times. But I hope I say this right... The way guys are directed to act allows them to bring out the character more, as opposed to actually seeing their "acting" talent. For example Kim Woo Bin. Don't get me wrong, love the guy to pieces but he has yet to give out a performance full of emotion. He uses charisma (and the eyebrow thang) and dammit does it ever work for him. 99.5% of female characters are written to be either innocent, naggy, cry-ey and fluffy or a mix of all 4. Its hard to show such charisma if viewers only focus on which eye will starting dropping tears first. Especially nowadays. Female characters are so boring. Gong Hyo Jin is soo naggy in IOIL, but she controls her emotions so well that even though her character is annoying her performance is wonderful. If a good actress plays the role it can actually save the lame written character.

The double standards very much exists. While some posters might also criticize other male k-ent stars, the consensus is that their fondness is much palpable of male actors despite their acting. In a sense that yes, they can go and criticize them for their subpar acting but they will still very much feel obliged ogling these stars nonetheless, and every time they're on screen it presents that opportunity. So much so, that some who are very much aware of their lacking, that they still decidedly watch a drama, and that it doesn't lessen their enthusiasm, in fact, they're very much hyped knowing that these male stars will appear onscreen. And that is true across genders. There is nothing morally wrong with that. I just hope that some of these posters here wouldn't put themselves on the higher pedestal though thinking that they're judicious with their criticsims of k-actors, when they're not. In fact, I can point out to you that the very authors of this site are very much unforgiving on criticizing female stars most of the time. That they at times while bashing a male star, will still make it a point how giggity they are to see their abs, but conversely will not state the same excitement to see a female star for something equally superficial. Which is understandable, but at least they don't pretend that they're objective.

Well, that double standard simply stems from the fact that I'm hetero and have the hots for guys and therefore enjoy seeing hot guys more than hot/pretty women.
And since most of the beanies seem to be female (and judging from the comments probably hetero as well), that unevenness is explained.

I mean, I'm sure most people will agree with me that Jin September Yeon is super pretty.
I actually only watched her in the first couple of episodes of Dr. Stranger, but yeah, that didn't really compel me to watch her in everything else...

Jong Hyun has potential. I liked his small role in White Christmas (first thing I saw him in) and want to see him do more because I think he has it in him. I like seeing him get roles even though I don't always watch him in them.
Jin Se Yeon I just never want to see in anything again. Gaksital was enough. And I never read anything to change my mind and I DO check. I have no hope for her and this is coming from Dramabeans only Shin Se Kyung supporter (I know she can do it, OK?!).

girls love hot guys, what is unholy about that? she's a girl, we couldn't get crazy over her appearance, she got no aura, she got no chemistry with her co-star (which is important when she's constantly a main love interest), she couldn't act, now how could we shut up when she's getting lead roles? when she ruined dramas we like?

honestly I only know the guy from White Christmas and I think he didn't do that bad maybe because he fitted the character and it didn't ask much from him, unlike when I watched glimpses of Her Lovely Heels which was sort of unbearable. But since HLH wasn't the type of dramas I watch anyway, so I ended up never feeling bitter about the guy or wishing someone else was playing his character instead.

Thank you for your comment. We tend to rake over hot coals the actresses we don't like on DB. I notice that even when there are terrible actors, they aren't criticized as badly.

Truth is, she's not that bad. If she totally sucked, she wouldn't be getting any parts no matter who her backer was.

She's an OK actress. In other words - serviceable. With time and experience, she might even be better. But I suggest she pulls the breaks with her roles and try not to do so many dramas a year. That way she has time to mature and reflect on her acting skills, and maybe pull a better performance in the future.

I'm not even Jin se-yeon hater. I luurve Gaksital and at least I like her character there. But her acting in Doctor Stranger kills whatever minuscule fondness I have for her. And after that I also made a promise with myself to pass any show that have her in it, even if I like the other actors..

That's true! The first time I watched her in Five Fingers because Joo Ji Hoon and Ji Chang Wook, I still didn't know who is her and still gave her a chance. She didn't improve and I dislike her ever since. I want to pass every drama/movie she's in but then came Lee Jong Suk in DS and I really wanted to watch him. She still didn't get any better.

That's why I don't want her to get leading role again, while there's so many more talented actress can't get primetime leading roles. Please, she should learn acting first before she sucks every project she's in.

She's yet to star in something I want to watch... because apparently Duo is the only drama I've seen her in and I don't remember her.

I wish for her sake she was an idol, at least those get also love on this blog. She is actually very young, at 20 years and this much experience she can only get better...

wheeww... i thought i was the only one to think jin se yeon's acting was so-so. she's lucky she'd act with some of the most talented actors for her drama. or maybe the fact that they're too talented that her talent was overshadowed? idk....joowon, ji hoon, lee jong suk...

well, at the very least on displaying emotions during acting, she won against shin se kyung.

i have high hopes for jong hyun. but now that the lead lady is se yeon, and i just cannot seems to find any of her works that i like, i just... well, yeah... meeehhhhhh

She is a meh, he is a meh. Didn't she star at one daily dramas 'my daughter's flower' or something and it wasn't such a serious role (at least from the glimpses I saw) and she certainly wasn't any better.

Funny to the one that say 'don't watch her if you don't like her'. That's not even the problem. The problem is her acting is seriously one of the worst together with ssk and they keep getting lead roles. Like, wtf

she's just not fit to play anything other than the hero's little sister or maybe a very uncomplicated second lead.

And I call shenanigans on all her fans who insist that her level of shitty acting is 'normal' for actresses in her age/experience range. (Jung Eun-ji, Yoon So-hee, Shim Eun-kyung, Han Groo and a lot of people give the lie to that statement)

he's deadpan, but at least watchable, unlike her.

Supposed "fans" of JSY are a bit deluded if they think that her level of acting is "acceptable for her age." Yeah, she's 20 but come on...she's been acting for a few years already.

The examples you've given directly contradict such logic...you either have it or you don't. And if you don't, I (and others) would hope that you study your ass off to make improvements.

I would have also hoped that working with such high-profile actors would at least give her the opportunity to learn straight from the source -- direct first-hand observation! Honestly, I thought that as time goes by, she'd improved just an iota with each project -- but alas, that is not the case.

I saw HJH as deadpan as well, but after kinda tuning in for bits and pieces of Mama -- I'd have to say he's a bit improved. That's saying much more.

Yeah, I can deal with deadpan. I love deadpan! and Hong Jong Hyun has potential imo, I've been keeping an eye on him since White Christmas. I even like Shin Se Kyung (whom no one like *tears* 5ever alone). But I just can't with Jin Se Yeon. Just can't at all.

Not claiming that JSY is a better actress than Eun-ji, but DS beat Trot Lovers quite handsomely. Yoon So-hee is cute, but hasn't had any success as a 1st lead actress on non-cable. Shim Eun-kyung hasn't had any success YET as a lead adult actress. Han Groo is awesome, but hasn't had any success as a lead actress on non-cable.

Nobody can say that Bridal Mask was not an outstanding success, and Inspiring Generation beat the competition after YWCFTS ended its run. Also Doctor Stranger was 1st as well.

On paper, JSY's last 3 non-cable dramas have come 1st. So if the 1st female lead role isn't demanding, which is the case with many dramas now, JSY seems an ok choice.

Err, they are talking about acting not ratings. Please get the fact that these are two different things. Gaksital's success mainly wasn't due to JSY's acting. And for getting major roles in big 3? that's just a matter of whether actors have powerful backers/MCs.. not whether she is a 'better' actress

she's meh, he's meh. they're both nothing special. serviceable but still bad. yet how come i'm only seeing some really extreme reactions about jin se yeon's acting when they're acting skills (or lack there of) are comparable? some really harsh double standards at play here really -__-

and yeah I understand that it's because kdrama watchers leans more towards the female demographic and thus are more forgiving to males of questionable talent but that doesn't mean it's right tbh. but i guess at least you guys own up to such shallow justifications???

and are u guys seriously butthurt at some commenters making sweeping generalizations about double standards when u yourselves are making sweeping generalizations about her fans? pls

and i guess it can't be helped but i honestly find discussions about "sponsors" tasteless and unclassy
