Han Ji-min offered new time-travel drama from Oh My Ghostess PD
by girlfriday
Han Ji-min (Hyde, Jekyll, Me) is currently considering an offer to star in the new fantasy drama from PD Yoo Je-won, of the hilariously zany tvN comedies High School King of Savvy and Oh My Ghostess. I just love his wit and comic timing. He’s coming back with a new series for tvN this fall called Tomorrow With You, about the sweet and comedic love story between a time-traveler and his wife. (Not to be confused with The Time-Traveler’s Wife… I hope.)
The new series will be written by Heo Sung-hye, of the melodrama Full Sun and the rom-com movie (and box office hit) All About My Wife. It’s being called a “sweet, savage fantasy romantic comedy,” about a time-traveler husband and his newlywed wife. Han Ji-min is being courted to play the wife, a heroine described as delightful, cheery, and refreshingly funny.
Supernaturally-inclined or mistaken-identity love interests are actually nothing new to Han Ji-min — she’s been in love with a time-traveler before, in high-and-mighty, tracksuit-wearing Joseon prince Yoochun in Rooftop Prince. I liked her in that drama, but in Hyde, Jekyll, Me, I never really believed her character, not to mention the fact that I never understood why she only loved Hyun Bin’s secondary personality. Maybe that’s the drama’s fault though.
In any case, if she does sign on, I hope the setup will at least be something other than a Joseon prince traveling to modern-day Seoul. Maybe he could be from the future. Or maybe she’ll be visited by a new version of him at every turn… which is pretty much both of her last dramas rolled into one.
Tomorrow With You is scheduled to air on Fridays and Saturdays following Dear My Friends and The Good Wife, in September.

No, let this writer pick Lee Seon-kyun again, after all they did the successfull All About My Wife. He should be able to create great chemistry with HJM judging from his past pairings.

I'm still bitter about what could have been if 'Hyde, Jekkyl, Me' was done right and didn't become a stain in both of leads' filmographies.
I like Han Ji-min tho, even if her character in aforementioned drama was a Princess of the Blandest-female-leads-land.
I hope this one works out well for her.

Hmm. I know Han Jimin was a decent actress, but in all the dramas that I've seen her in, she was always the blandest female lead. To be honest, her character in Rooftop Prince was the most spaced out, useless, and frustrating.

as someone with multiple mental illnesses, i don't think people should joke about something/someone being bipolar or ocd or causing ptsd.

Idk if it's just this situation. Maybe it's because I, too have post traumatic stress (Leave off the disorder) from this drama. Personally I liked Robin & HJM. Sung Joon was good in it too. But just seeing this drama's name stresses me out and almost induces a very mild panic attrack.
As someone with Bipolar ii, GAD, insomnia, anxiety dreams, endos, separation anxiety, panic disorder, a bunch of other anxieties and traits of others MH disorders; I usually dislike joking about mental health.
But for some reason, I appreciate the humor here. Just continues to prove no two members of the victimized group, share the same feelings.

The story sounds promising. Really like Han Ji Min and I hope she can bounce back with this drama. Looking forward to this and who the lead actor could be.

I really liked her in Rooftop Prince but I was very very disappointed in her acting in Padam Padam...but then again everything disappointed me in that drama.
I really liked High School King and Oh My Ghostess but this sounds so much like The Time Traveler's Wife...I'll keep my eye out for it but I am still unsure if I'll be interested enough to check it out.

Can she emote?
I watched her in two dramas: 'Rooftop Prince' and 'Hyde Jekyll and Me', and was turned off by her acting in both dramas. Will this drama be the one that makes me appreciate her acting? I wonder.

She can definitely emote, but comes off better in movies than dramas - her character in Fatal Encounter (playing Hyun Bin's step-grandma) was a far cry from the bland Candy characters she ends up playing on otv.

I think with a good choice of role and good direction from PD, she can do well.

I've never seen a great performance from her, but she can do a credible job at emoting. She was fine in Resurrection, for example.

The first time I saw Han Ji Min was in Dae Jang Geum (which I watched like almost 10 years ago omg), followed by Hyde, Jekyll, Me, so I have no idea whether she's considered a good actress or not? I find her acting really bland in Hyde, Jekyll, Me - although that could also be because Hyde, Jekyll, Me was soooooooooo poorly written. Hopefully this drama can make me change my mind about her! (that is, if she ends up taking this role)

HJM is a very beautiful but bland actress.
Can we have somebody else instead? Han Groo? Seo hyun Jin?

Yes to Han Groo. I miss her! I love Seo hyun jin but I think it would be weird seeing her so soon as someone other than Oh Hae Young.

I watched 4 of her dramas: Resurrection, Scandal in Old Seoul, Rooftop Prince and Padam Padam. The leading man I love to be paired with her again (if that even possible) is either UTW or Micky.
Sadly UTW has committed to other project. Will Micky out of barrack by the time the filming start? ...No. Sadly. T.T

Too bad UTW isn't available either, he was recently cast in Wanted.

A reunion with one of her old costars would be great. SJS, UTW, LSJ, KJH...and mostly I really want JWS to come back to television.

Never seen her in anything but the premise intrigues me. It does sound like The Time Traveler's Wife but I've all for giving dramas with supernatural/fantasy twists a try.

I actually really love her. I just have a soft spot for her. I've liked her in all her dramas except for Hyde, Jekyll, Me. That drama just turned me off so much. I think she can emote if given a good character and script to work on. I loved her in Padam Padam. She was great in it. She sold me as a cold, bitter woman. And her comedic timing in Rooftop Prince was really good too. I especially love her eyes. They are gorgeous and when she cries, she makes me cry too. I hope she accepts and wash away the mess that was HJM.

I think the problem is that her acting style is way to0 controlled and aware, it makes people not able to connect with her characters. In kdrama you don't really need to be a great actor, but you need the audience to feel an emotional connection in some way.

I love her in Korea Secret Agency with Eric Mun. They were so young but so adorable together. She definitely will nail the cute nagging type girl. I'm sure.

The writer is the one who wrote Dream High 2 and Full Sun (Beyond The Cloud). I don't like Dream High 2 and never watch Full Sun, so I don't know what to expect with the writer..
If the PD actually worked with the previous writer who wrote Oh My Ghost and High School King of Savvy, then I might give try watching the show later..
But then, let see how drama lead casting goes... We'll never know who'll end up becoming the male/female lead..

I find her voice very "mono-toned"... I fall asleep just listening to her. maybe that's why audience don't feel much emotions conveying through? Not sure if I will watch her again after Hyde, Jekyll and Me which I quit half way through...

I don't blame her for the bad story line on Hyde. It served no one well. When these actors sign on to the dramas, they don't always know (like ever) how it is going to go down.
Having said that, there are certain actors who even when the writing is flawed, continue day after day of giving it their all. I think this actress did well in the first half of HJ&I and then phoned it in. I'm certain being given a love connection with a symptom of mental illness was no joy, but Hyun Bin was all in until the end, and even though he isn't a favorite of mine I have to give him respect for that. I feel the same way about Lee Joon Gi in Scholar. I liked that drama more than most and, again, he really held that thing up as much as he could because the writing did go sideways.
So I guess if this looks like a good story, I'll give it a go.
