Kim So-hyun joins Yoochun (yet again) for Sensory Couple

by javabeans

Kim So-hyun (Reset, Suspicious Housekeeper) is joining SBS’s Sensory Couple, and she’ll be playing the little sister to the drama’s hero, played by Yoochun (Three Days). Aw, how cute. She’s a talented budding actor and good enough to handle leading roles herself (though there just aren’t that many available for precocious 15-year-olds), though for now she’s mostly building up experience in supporting roles.

In Sensory Couple, Kim So-hyun’s character figures centrally in the “Barcode Murder Case” that drives the story. After the hero loses his sister, he suffers an accident and loses his ability to sense anything, and in the same accident our heroine (Shin Se-kyung), who possesses the extrasensory ability to see smells, loses her memory.

This’ll be the third drama together for Yoochun and Kim So-hyun, having previously worked together on Rooftop Prince and I Miss You, although their parts belonged to different generations (in Rooftop she was the child version of his wife, and in I Miss You she was his childhood sweetheart). I just find it adorable that Kim So-hyun gets to nurse her crush on Yoochun oppa repeatedly by working with him over and over. And every time, he’s devastated to be without her and spends his entire youth damaged over the loss. Oppa just loves you too much!

This’ll also reunite the two with Rooftop Prince‘s writer, who kind of seems like an odd choice for a mystery-thriller like this, given how wacky and comedic that show was. But perhaps the writer just likes expanding range, since credits also include the melodrama Yawang.

Sensory Couple will follow Hyde, Jekyll, Me on Wednesdays and Thursdays and premieres in April.

Even if they do get to play leading roles later on together, the age difference is a bit too disturbing hehe

.......I like them both, but she's literally FIFTEEN, I'd feel like a real creep for shipping her with an adult man close to 30.

This exactly. The girl is not even LEGAL. Surely shipping has /some/ boundaries (right?) Let's not cross them.

Well one time she kinda spazzed Yoochun too much on Twitter, Yoochun's fans got a bit worried they tweeted her saying "Hey maybe you can call him samchoon" I am pretty sure they were half joking but she tweeted out a tweet saying "Why would I call Yoochun oppa samchoon?" so we were like ok calm down.

Seriously, as a Yoochun's fan and i also loveee her but i feel itchy when ppl are saying stuffs like that. Even Yoochun emphasized 10 years age gap is way too awkward for him.

But that's exactly how I'd react to fangirls. Even if it's just a joke, no one would tell an ordinary 15 year old to call Yoochun an uncle. A celebrity has all the right to act like a fan once in a while so I see nothing wrong in her reply.

March 2, 2015 at 6:29 PM

@mandy i agree so much. And come on, yoochun used to call himself oppa in reference to her on twitter, even calling her "princess".

yuka sato

March 2, 2015 at 6:32 PM

fans ship them, but not in a romantic way if that's your fear. not fantasizing them sexually too. i think you get too sensitive and freak out when it comes to 'shipping'. i understand, but everyone in the fandom i know only ship them like a cute little girl who fangirling over her oppa. (sohyun stated many times that yoochun is her ideal type, we found it cute and cooing at the cuteness) but that's it.

maybe there're other fans who think too deep and over analyzed her fangirling, (but doesnt that means those who think like that are the ones who have dirty mind? LOL)

just take it easy ^^

March 2, 2015 at 6:53 PM

Here we go with the patronising attitude........The word 'shipping' itself implies romance, which is flat-out icky between a 15 year old and someone almost twice her age.

She herself has every right to be a fangirl but frankly it's a bit creepy for other people to be projecting their shipping on her. You wouldn't do that with a regular 15 year old, would you?

And if you would, then I think that speaks for itself, if you think such things are normal.

I think its more normal to be disturbed that fans even mention shipping a 15 year old girl with someone so much older. Even if she is his fan. Stop calling other people dirty minds for expressing a concern about it.

She's one lucky fan girl for sure. And they even share the same birthday huh. I might ship them together say, 8-10 years from now? By that time, she's legal and at late 30's, he might still be available (given his idol-actor status..?). Heh.

I've been shipping her with Yeo Jin Gu for years lol..I hope they are leads in a drama when they are older...and then fall in love during filming and get married a year later. Oh god they'd be so cute together.

OHG!!! Hahahaha, that would be her end, there are a army of KSH hater out there who will be very dangerous is that happens in the future (because they want YJG only for KYJ). I just love her, with whichever she wants to be in the future I will support her.

Eh, there's also an army of KSH fans out there who will defend her if ever that happens. They're really kind just like So-hyun but they're scary when they get mad so beware LOL.

I don't denied that KSH have a lot of fans, just check the ones in facebook, tumblr and instagram groups.

But they don't say nasting things about KYJ or YJG or another teen actress. Just check soompi and you will see how sad they are when her idol KSH receive nasting comments because her friendship or link in something good (when is must be better and prettier KJY the "one" to be doing something than her(KSH)).

Just saying...

(but I have to say, the current generation of mid-to-late teenage Korean child actors packs a serious punch talent-wise. I wonder if KBS will look at any of them for School 2015?)

she's so good i kinda feel she's wasted for small supporting roles...
there aren't good dramas with teens as leads? I don't want her to play older characters, since it wouldn't be believable, but let her have some screen time!

Awww that's so adorable! I love that they get to be in the same drama so many times. Hopefully we'll get a lot of backstory so they can share screen space too. I wasn't planning to watch this, but I'll reevaluate now. I have a soft spot for sibling relationships - I find them extremely relatable and touching.

Sooo Shin Se-kyung is confirmed ?
:(
I have been waiting and waiting to watch Yoo-chun's drama since Roof Top Prince... But I just didn't like the plots of 3 Days and I miss you (didn't feel like pure thriller or too much melo)... Now I am gonna have to pass on this one too cause of Shin Se-kyung ><
I was kind of excited about this one *sigh

I know she just graduated middle school but I'm kind of hoping that she will be leading a drama pretty soon. It would be perfect if she can lead school 2015. It just seems like a waste for someone with her talent to be playing supporting characters like this imo...

Aww man! And here I was hoping she was going to be in Orange Marmalade instead. Oh well, it's still a reunion nonetheless.

March 2, 2015 at 9:54 PM

Your username is particularly relevant to the biggest gripe I have about this casting - Kim So Hyun एक लड़की थी "Ek Ladki THI"! She's growing up and growing in acting ability too, as Reset showed. That Drama was a step forward, a genuine female lead role with enoguh substance to challenge her. Obviously she has much growing to do as a person and an actor, but going back to playing flashback corpse number 1 is a big disappointment.
It almost looks like she and Kim Yoo Jung have divvied up the roles between them, YJ taking the bright and breezy, SH taking the dark and dying. I'll be watching, of course, but I hope her next Drama is a return to growth and forward movement, not another repeat of Dying Dongsaeng. she's not really a ladki, she's almost an aurat. Give her another role which recognises that.

I know right. Really, it would've been better if she was the female lead on Orange Marmalade with Yeo Jin-goo as the male lead. I don't get why KBS chose an idol over her.

I'll be waiting for this drama. I'm so excited to see Yuchun oppa again on screen. I don't care if many don't like SKK bcoz of her acting? she still an actress and why did they cast her is she wasn't able to act? Maybe she's not that very good tho, but still acts. I hope she will prove KD fans wrong. If she doesn't keep on acting, then definitely he won't improve her acting. So its alright, after all not all star-studded cast have good drama ratings. I just hope for a good story line and impressive special effects esp. On how will they show SKK's extrasensory ability.

Whatever happens to this drama, I'm gonna support for it. Go chunface <3

I saw some fanmade posters too from Yoochun's fans and they even wish cheering words to SSK. I actually glad to see the supports from his fandom towards his co-lead eventhough in the beginning I wish for someone else but now FIGHTING Shin Se Kyung!!! Give us the best chemistry at least!

and yay for KSH! I actually can feel that she gonna act as Yoochun's sister :D
