Moon Chae-won plays Lee Seung-gi hot and cold in Today’s Love

by girlfriday

I’ve been looking forward to this romantic comedy for a while, but it looks even funnier than I’d hoped. The first teaser is out for the movie Today’s Love, starring Brilliant Legacy costars Moon Chae-won (Good Doctor) and Lee Seung-gi (You’re All Surrounded) as friends who ride that confusing line between just friends and something more. The swear-filled teaser is a cute introduction from Seung-gi’s point of view, about the girl who refuses to date him, but won’t let him go.

The rom-com comes from director Park Jin-pyo of My Love By My Side and You Are My Sunshine, and tells a very contemporary story about two friends who are stuck in that “some” kind of relationship that’s undefined and noncommittal. The teaser opens on elementary school teacher Lee Seung-gi’s very smitten expression as Moon Chae-won smiles back at him, while a student asks him in voiceover, “Teacher, have you seen Introduction to Architecture? Is your girlfriend a bitch too?”

We’re told that no, she’s not his girlfriend, but then we watch as he carries her on piggyback while she drunkenly swears like a sailor, bites him, and wails that she doesn’t understand what love is. The copy reads: “Why do you drink with me, but date other guys?” Cue: special guest appearance by Lee Seo-jin (Wonderful Season) here to get the girl, much to Seung-gi’s ire.

One night when she cries that she misses this other man, he finally throws her off his back in anger. He complains to his buddy, “While I’VE been standing right behind her for eighteen years!” LOL, they totally made them friends for eighteen years entirely for the pun — ship-pal nyun (“eighteen years”) to shibal nyun (“fucking bitch”) — and even pause on her face for effect.

We see him carrying her purse, holding her umbrella, basically anything on command like a good little puppy. He points out that he’s not easily angered, and he’s considerate and thoughtful. So isn’t he a catch? She whispers, “No. Ultimately, you don’t arouse me.” HAHA. Poor buddy.

Today’s Love premieres in January. Can’t wait!

We should respect it though, they are loved and respected for being professionals who don't meddle their job with their relationship. They'll only bring hate and shame to theirselves.

I honestly couldn't care less about their relationship. If they're happy that's great. If they're not together, I would feel sad and allow them to move on. Loading all these expectations on them just puts more pressure on their relationship.

Like Taeyang from Big Bang said a few days ago, only in Korea do the public expect idols to give official statements about their relationships.

It's just ridiculous and really invasive of their privacy. Not every couple, whether both are celebrities, or only one is a celebrity, is so open about sharing themselves with the public.

Ya, now why couldn't KMHM have starred MoonCW instead?
It'd be so exciting if this were a drama!

I totally get it that sometimes super nice guy a la puppy doesn't arouse a girl who has yet to learn what makes a good husband. She has to go around kissing a no. of toads first. Not that kissing Lee Seo Jin would be a tough assignment, but if he's playing a toad, well then, she'll get her heart broken first.

Oh, I recall SeoJinnie talking about this in 3Meals a Day. His guest, the mom from Wonderful Days asked him why he is taking cameo roles like this one, implying they are beneath him. Then they all chipped in that it's cos of MoonCW, that he likes her, like: "Ah it stars Moon CW. It all makes sense then." Hee.

It's cuteness overload, but Chae Won, Seung Gi in that bleu shirt that barely hid his muscles when he was giving you a piggyback ride and you're still not satisfied?
Well it was enough for me, especially when he prepared the bed and did those winks with a bright grin, like puppy, can you get any cuter?

ugh
is this another one of those "friend zone" movies?
sympathy for the pooooor guy who's been behind her for the past 18 years without having his feelings reciprocated?
and the girl becomes the bitch for keeping him as a friend but not dating him. Hmm.

not even cute. It's not made cute or sympathetic even if my favourite actor was playing the lead male.

November 29, 2014 at 8:14 AM

the movie has ga in and lizzy in suportong roles . they are seung gi's gf's who dump him. atleast ga in is .

so maybe in the entire movie it's not all about seung gi's charactor pinning over mcw. but both of them dating others and falling in love with their friendzoned buddies.

so maybe the movie will not be as bad as you think.

Required fields are marked *

HopesDD

November 29, 2014 at 8:47 AM

I think he's in love with her but since he's like her slave, he'll date others but always got dump because his heart already belongs to another girl.

Actually, instead of thinking hard, they are taking a real life situation and mixing it with comedy, so yeah the movie is promiscing, at least to me. Of course, each has his own opinion, I'm not forcing you to like it, you're free to do what'eve.

By the way, girls go give a chance to your nice friendzoned guy, he maybe the one :) (I'm not adressing the person I'm responding to only, so don't feel like it)

I like friends-to-lovers as a trope because it annoys me less when people who know each other do stupid things for "love" instead of complete strangers, but yea, that annoys me. Not reciprocating a man's feelings does not make one a bitch (although I admit to laughing/scoffing at the pun). Besides if that's all he wanted why stick around that long--? . There's always that.

I'm pretty sure the male lead is doing something wrong since he has a whole string of ex-girlfriends show up and he's not just a "nice guy" being abused by a the mean woman.

" LOL, they totally made them friends for eighteen years entirely for the pun — ship-pal nyun (“eighteen years”) to shibal nyun (“fucking bitch”) — and even pause on her face for effect. "

O my.. I'm so wish I can understand korean with their pun!!
I've watch this teaser for uncountable times(since this was released 3 days ago) and already laughing hard because of it, never thought it'll even funier because there's this pun!! I love pun!!

I think people will love this movie because of its simplicity. I mean they're not selling a new or complicated concept, but the freshness of this common problem that can happend to everyone will give surprise and enjoyable feelings. Besides, I think not only the comedy ( wich already so fun from the teaser), but somehow, I also think we will get some heartwarming story. just my feeling though (and from some fanpics hint).
I hope I can see this movie premiere T_T

Is it weird that the first thing I thought when I read this post was that I've always kinda thought Seung-gi's character did the same thing to Chae-won's character in Brilliant Legacy and then dropped her when the other girl came along, and now the shoe is on the other foot. XD

This looks cute. Are we going to see how the poor guy finally arouses the girl? :D This does remind me of a reverse of what his BL character did her hers. More than friends, less than dating and not sending clear signals for years and then dumping her the minute someone cute comes a long. I think this realistic approach where the someone new doesn't work out.

Changed up her hairstyle?seriously?I think among actresses she is one of those who has diverse hairstyles in her projects and if you mean to her recents projects she has totally different hairstyles..In 1st part of nice guy she has a short hair that makes her looks cold and bitchy(not really that short) and in the 2nd part she had a little bit curly long hair and in Good Doctor,in the 1st part she had short and bit curly hair and in the latter part she had a longer and straight..How is that alike with her new hairstyle like now?

Someone is just nitpicked (coming of from someone who isn't found of her-based on the poster's previous comments on this blog- :)

He either curled her whole hair up or cut it very short to make it a super big 'difference' from the previous ones. But it won't fit the character and role she is playing for this movie.

PSH's hairstyle in Pinocchio is the same as her hairstyle in Heirs. JJH's hairstyles in My Sass Girl, The Thieves and You Who Came From The Stars all look the same. And except for TC, Joo Won have that same mopey or bieber-ish hairstyle in all his dramas and films.
Even if MCW shave her hair crazedlu will still complain that MCW have the same hairstyle. She just love to nitpick on her.

Really? That's what you choose to nitpick over? If it suits her and her character, why does it matter that the actress had that hairstyle in previous projects?

She's not an idol who needs to dye her hair a new colour every 3 months.

I kind of hate that the expectation here is that she owes him romantic love (and lbr, sexual availability) because he's been a good friend to her. Is her friendship just a shitty consolation prize because she won't sleep with him?

It doesn't seem like that at all. They seem to have a complicated relationship where they are obviously a bit more than friends, but haven't reached the next step. If it were a more adult more (not sure the rating) I'd say it's a bit of a friends with benefits type of thing. It seems a pretty mutual thing as well.

That's reaching, wayyyy out into the galaxy.

Based on the trailer, neither of them is 100 percent innocent, and that goes for her too (apparently aware of his feelings but continues to do halfway-to-couple things with him anyway - I love my guy bffs but you won't catch us piggybacking each other or using each other as a shoulder to cry on about romantic woes when we're aware of a one sided attraction)
