Kim Hye-soo conceives a not-so-accidental mistake in Goodbye Single
by tineybeanie
Famous for her roles as strong independent women from tough female detectives to stylish chief editors, actress Kim Hye-soo (Signal) transforms into immature and reckless has-been top star Joo-yeon for her new movie Goodbye Single (also known as Familyhood).
This upcoming screwball comedy is about an actress past her prime and her quest to create someone who will always be on her side. After her secret younger actor boyfriend, played by trending model-actor Kwak Shi-yang from Mirror of the Witch, gets publicly caught on camera cheating on her, she realizes that no one in this world is trustworthy.
Faced with the betrayal of her boyfriend and the indifference of her once-adoring fans, she decides the best way to make someone love her unconditionally is to birth them. On a mission, she goes to a fertility clinic to become a mother to a child who will be on her side always. Unfortunately, medical results indicate that she is barren. But later she encounters a middle-school-aged pregnant teen, and a plan comes to mind.
Afterwards she impulsively announces to the public news of her impending child. Suddenly, all the spotlight is focused on her again for her pregnancy, and she loves it. Joo-yeon is getting offers for maternity ads and big roles on TV that she hasn’t been able to get for years. The movie’s plot centers around her scandal as her agency comically deals with its implications, while exploring the deeper meaning of family and true kindred love.
There are a couple actors I’m looking forward to seeing in this comedy. First and foremost is Ma Dong-seok (Police Unit 38) who plays Joo-yeon’s stylist-cum-bestie who tries to rein her in, but often fails and loyally helps deal with the aftermath. In addition, Seo Hyun-jin, who has recently gained much notice due to explosively popular cable drama Oh Hae-young Again, appears as his wife. Finally, we have Kim Hyun-soo (Joseon Gunman) in the role of troubled pregnant teen.
Goodbye Single premieres in theaters June 29.

Oh, this is fascinating. Is she pretending to be pregnant? Celebrities are accused of doing that all the time. Admittedly, some do, and are vocal about it, but the amount of articles on it. One moment, the woman has too much of a bump. And then another moment, it's gone in! It must be fake! (Or you know. Just. Angles. And sometimes it shows more. The end.)
Love the cast.

Loving the stills of Ma Dong-seok, especially the ones of him with the laundry and phone. He's so adorably hilarious you wanna pinch his cheeks and give him a bear hug... or maybe he should be the one dishing bear hugs...

Ooh I love the movie poster! It's nice to see Kim Hye-soo smile so cheekily! I've only watched Signal and Coin Locker Girl and I realized I've never seen the happy, carefree and comedic side of her. I love her smile!

Love Kim Hye-soo! she is just sassy and unpredictable lol. Love the veteran pairing. Don't know about Kwak. I'm so not into his acting.
Looking forward to the interviews. Quick witted Ma Dong-seok always cracks me up.

Wow, what a cast! So looking forward to this. I never would've imagine Ma Dong-seok and Seo Hyun-jin as a couple though, lol. But seeing them together, it makes sense somehow!
