Cheese in the Trap co stars, Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Sung Kyung, have reunited in first script read for their newest MBC drama, ‘Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo‘! This will be their first leading roles in their career as Sung Kyung turns into Kim Bok Joo, a weightlifter who learns to love. Joo Hyuk will be turning into a playful and bright swimmer, Jung Joon Hyung. The model-turned-actors will also be joined by Lee Jae Yoon and Kyung Soo Jin.

‘Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo’ is set to air in November after the end of ‘Shopping King Louie‘. For now fans can anticipate more news and catch Nam Joo Hyuk as the ever lovable Baek Ah in ‘Scarlet Heart: Ryeo‘.

Someone has to do it ;D

thank you

Hmm. I love the two of them when they are doing their modelling thing and in supporting/second lead roles...but as main leads? I'm not sure. I find nam joo hyuk gorgeous but pretty wooden as an actor. lsk - i liked her in citt though everyone hated her character but found her character really boring and bland in Doctors. And I'm finding it really, really hard to buy her as a weightlifter, sorry. Just can't see it. Also, was this primarily a YG-sponsored drama or sth? Asking out of genuine curiosity. But I do love second lead Kyung Soo jin and might watch for her.

which episode was that scene in? I dont quite remb it cause i got really disappointed in the drama and FF-ed everything after episode 10 ha...

my fav InHa scenes are the one where she meets InHo in the cafe to ask for money, one where she beat up Seol's stalker in school and the one where she crashed at Inho's and was sniffing his apartment when she first entered rofl. another was when the bigger guy was bullying the other guy in school and she just walked over and told him to get lost

She was a very complicated person. I went and watched episode 15 for the scene you were talking about. But yeah it was sad, after Jung (is that whom u call dead eyes? lol) and his father wanted to end relations with her. And on a shallower note as i mentioned to another poster, i loved every single thing she wore on that show. I wanted everything - coats, hats, accessories you name it. Her stylist did a fantastic job!

LSK agreed with you she did great in citt and doctors well she didnt have a lot to do..

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Yeah her role in doctors was hmm. idk, i would say it wasn't a very compelling second lead character. But doctors focused heavily on the main leads so it can't be helped i guess.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

yes!, the writing for her was bad. well all the story.

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

yeah the story was boring tbh. I dropped it after epi 5 or sth, and that involved alot of FF-ing ha

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

I watched all, they have the ideas but execution was so bad.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

i also love her so much in CITT, she was my fave

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

she was my fave as well <3 on a shallower note haha, In Ha is the like the best styled female character in my books. I wanted everything she was wearing - sunglasses, clothes, accessories, bags, hats, everything. So gorgeous! Stylist really did a great job for her.

omg he's staring into my soul in that gif wow 😍

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

I have seen the light that is Nam Joo Hyuk, must watch his dramas... 😻💫

[citzera.livejournal.com]

I'd also recommend his brief but hilarious Celeb Bromance eps together with Ji Soo!

I didn't really care about him in citt, but his new wavy hairstyle is gorgeous on him and LSK is gorgeous too.

I'll probably wait this one out a bit to see the reaction before I decide to watch or not. I really can't see her as a weightlifter at all. On the plus side, they're an extremely beautiful couple and I've liked the photoshoots they've had together.
Bless that gif, he's so pretty.

Teaser released

thaks!!

Nam Joo Hyuk could not act his way out of a paper bag. Boy is blessed that he tall, got them flower boy looks, and an agency such as YG backing him. I swear he should be a background extra.i can't believe he's had two leading roles already. LSK is an aiight actress (much better than NJH) and while I'm glad to see she's trying to meet the look...she's a weightlifter?!?!?!! *suspends reality*

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

Dammit you're gonna make me have to watch this weightlifting featherweight drama, JooHyuk-ah >.

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

I know they're both lacking when it comes to acting but I love them both so I willl definitely watch this. I love that they're already friends so I hope that will only help them chemistry. I've not watched Cheese in the Trap before but I watched all of their other works. Still think NJH should try another sageuk tho, Scarlet Heart has shown me that he's good for historical stuff

[milkfloo.livejournal.com]

i love the both of them so i'm excited for this :)))
LSK's hair is cute!

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

I like them both, so am there, but I dont like that hair in LSk , so in her IG she has this [https://www.instagram.com/p/BFgv0ePsffA/?taken-by=heybiblee]
