Park Shin-hye joins Jo Jung-seok, D.O. in new movie Hyung
by girlfriday
The leading cast is complete and cameras are rolling for the new film Hyung (Big Brother), starring Jo Jung-seok (Oh My Ghostess) and EXO’s D.O. (It’s Okay, It’s Love) as a pair of estranged brothers. Park Shin-hye (Pinocchio) is the latest addition to the cast, and she’ll play the energizing character who helps clear the air between the brothers.
The human drama comes from writer Yoo Young-ah of sports movies Korea/As One and No Breathing and director Kwon Soo-kyung of Barefoot Ki-bongie. It stars Jo Jung-seok as a shameless con artist hyung who suddenly shows up on Little Bro D.O.’s doorstep unannounced, after fifteen years apart. The film is about their tenuous reunion as they start living together.
Jo Jung-seok is a con artist serving jail time, while D.O. plays a promising judo athlete who was once at the top of his game. But he suffers an unfortunate accident just before the national team selection, taking him out of the running. His fortune starts to get twisted with that incident, and then Hyung somehow uses his little brother as an excuse to get early parole and moves in with him.
Park Shin-hye has been cast as a young judo coach with a bright future who unintentionally learns of D.O.’s hardships and challenges him to start over, offering him a second chance at life. And she’ll also be the one to lift the delicate tension between the brothers. I love a good uplifting sports drama and I like the cast, but I’m most looking forward to the brotherly reunion and (hopefully) mending of fences between them.
Hyung is currently in production for a 2016 release.

Good casting, looking forward to this movie. Was also waiting earnestly for this article.
Would be interesting to see if there's a romance between PSH and D.O. The angry reactions from exotics would be delicious.... PSH's life may or may not be in danger...

So many idol fans in general are scary but I guess the ones for the popular groups are the worst-behaved? We only get to see that here if we've been critical of their faves, anyway. Hopefully PSH doesn't feel the brunt of Exo fan wrath.

In general fans of popular new groups are like that, fans of groups that have been around for quite a while don't have the energy or the immaturity to hate on every female that goes close to the idols anymore. Unfortunately I don't think PSH is safe from Exo-Ls. They're some of the worst along with Ikon and BTS fans.

I think D.O. fans have tried to be respectful of his female costars because they don't want their attitude to reflect back on him. Of course they didn't give that same respect to Sojin after the dating rumors, but I think Park Shinhye is a big enough actress that she's safer. There are always crazy outlier fans though.

PSH has a pretty big following too, ever since You're Beautiful. And when you add Heirs and Pinocchio, that means she's pretty popular in China as well. Plus she was always known to be very tom-boy-ish in real life, and gets along great with her fellow male actors. I wouldn't worry too much. :P
Also looking forward to the movie and cast! Was very excited when news came out of her signing on. :)

Not a fan of Park Shin-hye but I love Jo Jung-seok to pieces. I'm not familiar with this director but the writer did "Miracle in Cell No.7"which PSH had a minor role in it. I liked it a lot.
I'm glad this is not a rom.com. Hope it's going to be good.

It sounds interesting, and I'm hoping Park Shin-hye's character turns out totally different from her previous roles. I quite liked her showing a matter-of-fact, slightly saucy side in the Cyrano movie.

happy for Park Shin hye to commit & explore outside drama which is film. Very seldom to see her as a nuna much more as a coach. This is a fresh outing for me.
It's given that the brothers holds a promising material even though it's been done before but the writer surely has something pretty up in her sleeves.

If meek and mild Park Shin Hye can pass herself off as a macho judo instructor, I'll personally carry drive her to the awards shows. Even if its two grand for a flight from Chicago to Seoul.

Haha. Often times, casual spectators may confuse/assume her real self, to be that of the candy characters that she has played. But in reality, She is kinda the opposite. Not meek or mild, but strong willed, smart and sassy. Has an amicable personality. Full of spirit. Tomboyish.

The bromance!!
Jo Jung-seok is of course amazing so I'm glad he is getting another lead role. And I've only seen D.O in I Remember You and It's Ok, It's Love as small roles but he did an amazing job in both.
Even though I'm not a fan of Park Shin-Hye (only show I've liked her in is Pinocchio) I'm still looking forward to this!

I'm just waiting for the duet that Jo Jung Seok and Kyungsoo will do for the movie. it's a crime if they don't bring those two sets of awesome voices to sing an awesome song.
can you imagine the possibility? My ears are read!
Looking forward to the movie!

I adore Shin-hye. She's not the best actress but she has such a winsome personality and an unbreakable spirit. I love, love, love Jo Jung-seok and I think Kyung-soo is a very convincing actor. There isn't a single weak link in this casting and I do love a good human movie.

To me she was just another young K actress UNTIL I saw her on 3 Meals a day, and saw the director of Royal tailor speak of her in an interview.
What a Winsome personality and dedicated actress!
It really Is unfair to judge w/o knowing much.

Hi, there KDaddict?JCW, my fellow Healer-lover!! *waves*
Long time no chat!! Great to see you here again! How have you been doing? Sorry I couldn't drop by much but as and when I can, I will drop a note, just like now! ;)
I absolutely agree with you about how awesome PSH was in the programme but I have liked her since her drama "You're Beautiful" with Jang Geun Suk because she is a natural beauty with natural acting talent to boot.
So, looking forward to seeing here with JJS in this film! ;)

The premise sounds interesting and the cast is amazing. Judging from the movie name, one can guess the plot might solely focused on rebuilding of Jo jung seok and D.O's relationship. Shin hye might probably have less screening time considering she is back to complete her studies. But Personally, i would want her to concentrate more on movies. Enough with five to ten minutes of screen-time. Hopefully after her studies!.
And Park shin hye plays NOONA to D.O, so hopefully the EXO fans would spare the girl. I have already seen some bashing here and there. But the majority is cheering for the casting. So here's to hoping it all goes well.
And oh.. Looking forward to seeing Judo coach shin hye!. The girl is sporty in real life and has learnt some martial arts already. Would love to see her trying judo.

Even if the role may not be the main one.....it is by no means a small or an unimportant one......this is what I can deduce from girlfriday's write up ...

I didn't watch Pincocchio, actually didn't finish it. But I once adore PSH after watching her in You're Beautiful. Not a fan of her acting and drama, but love her as a person. D.O is one of the great idol turn to actor. Jo Jung Suk also great. Looking forward to see this in next year ?
