Yoo Ah-in, Choi Ji-woo, Lee Mi-yeon in star-studded rom-com Like Me

by girlfriday

It almost seems a little quaint now to do a movie about Facebook, but the new romantic comedy Like Me (also listed as Like for Likes) is about six people’s lives all connected through social media, and how in this day and age, romance takes on a whole new dimension online. The movie is more notable for its star-studded ensemble cast: Lee Mi-yeon (Answer Me 1988), Yoo Ah-in (Six Flying Dragons), Choi Ji-woo (Twenty Again), Kim Joo-hyuk (Answer Me 1988), Kang Haneul (Misaeng), and Esom (Scarlet Innocence) star.

The romantic comedy is about a group of people who are interconnected through and addicted to their social media accounts, who share their daily lives with one another online and discover love. It’s a warm and cheerful comedy about how love and communication have evolved, and follows three couples who are completely different in every way. The poster says, “I clicked ‘Like’ without a plan and now I like you for real!”

Lee Mi-yeon plays a star drama writer with a strong, prickly personality. Yoo Ah-in is a global top star (so, himself?), and the teaser opens on him wrestling with how embarrassing it is for a Hallyu star to send a civilian a friend request. Is a star drama writer really the same as a civilian though? Isn’t that like being Facebook friends with a co-worker?

Choi Ji-woo plays a flight attendant who’s so hapless that she manages to get herself into a mess with everything in life. Kim Joo-hyuk seems like the perfect fit for her — he’s a chef-restaurateur who’s the type to go overboard in helping other people. He’s the guy next door who’s cold on the outside but warm and fuzzy on the inside. This sounds a little like Twenty Again Again, but still cute.

Kang Haneul plays a genius songwriter who’s never had a girlfriend, and is endlessly innocent and naive. And Esom is a drama PD with a sunny personality and a frank way of speaking, who’s an expert at playing the push-and-pull game. The movie is directed by Park Hyun-jin, who wrote the drama Color of Woman and wrote and directed Extraordinary Woman and Lovers of 6 Years.

The teaser’s copy reads: “Stop guessing. Add a friend! Don’t just leave a comment. Make a move! Don’t just call. Confess! Stop clicking ‘Like.’ Let’s date!” Well I like the sound of that.

Like Me hits theaters in February.

I just watched Yoo Ah-in in "Man Who Can't Married", where he played my favourite character and convinced me of his very natural acting talent.

So, yay, happy for any news on projects he's doing.

awww, Man Who Can't Marry! He was such a baby then, and he and Kim So-eun made an adorable couple (he was so cutely hapless lol). I haven't seen him play that kind of dork in ages and ages.

Anything with Yoo Ah In makes me happy! +1 when Haneul is included. But tbh Lee Mi Yeon in R88 is so dull, doesnt seem to be the older version of Deoksun, but wtv will give this a try

do you want to be insulted as well? you know I can do that, right? better than you, at that. Fix yourself if you don´t.
His ears are fine. They are adorable and bad-ass. Why would all people need to ruin every unique thing about them? Why do they have to lose everything that makes them their own special selves.

Hey Han Solo, his ears are so cute they became his trademark. Don't be so dumb.

His ears are one of his unique characteristics. There is so much PS in Korean entertainment, so many cookie-cutter faces all using the same playbook of what constitutes beauty, that I relish and celebrate every little thing that makes an entertainer stand out. Is it really a "flaw" when it is a defining characteristic? There is a reason Barbra Streisand never fixed her nose, nor Marilyn Monroe remove a large mole on her face.

Barbara Streisand never fixed her nose because she was told her voice could possibly sound different after surgery so she didn't want to take the chance and I would not want to change that angelic voice either. Marilyn never removed her mole because they were called beauty marks back in the day and women actual wore fake ones so they could have a beauty mark too. With that said, I see nothing wrong with unique ears and feel it does make them more of an individual.

Kinda random... but I remember when people were so upset that Yoo Ah-in was Kim So-eun's first onscreen kiss in "The Man Who Can't Get Married." Hahaha. Now he's the stuffs and stuff.

I remember YIN in those days. Who would've guessed it he would become this big. Then again so many actor/actresses became big stars whom I watched them in the dramas in their early years. (Bi - I remember to read his interview right after/during? Sangdoo, let's go to school: He said fortune teller told him he will make it big, and he thought he was already pretty successful -even being in the drama. LOL. I wanted to find that fortune teller)

Am I the only one who's disappointed that Kim Joo-hyuk & Lee Mi-Yeon aren't a couple here? They look so cute together in Reply88! (Despite yunno, NOT KNOWING WHO THE GUY ACTUALLY IS *deep breaths*)

Also I really just want to see KJH in something again, he was my favourite member of 1N2D S3 and I'm still bummed out that he left :(

Looks interesting, even though I'd be even more interesting if it's Instagram cause you know they can add more fuss about 'taking good pictures that people will like' and stuff like that. It'd be pretty damn funny, especially maybe for Kim Joohyuk

The cast is A+ but can Kang Haneul please pick a more interesting role? His role is always so... generic. Rigid. Boring. And I don't want to think of him as a boring person.

I know right, I really like him and I'm happy that he's in a lot of projects now, but I wish he could just receive a role that leaves a really deep impression on people.
