Shin Hye Sun, Yang Se Jong, and Ahn Hyeo Seop confirmed for SBS Drama

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

Shin Hye Sun’s role in “I’m 30 But 17” is that of Woo Seo Ri, who has been in a coma for 13 years, giving her the body of a 30-year-old woman and the mindset of a 17-year-old girl. She is a star violinist who gets into an accident and wakes up 13 years later. Yang Se Jong will be playing the role of Gong Woo Jin, a stage designer who was the victim of trauma at 17 and has closed himself off from other people ever since. Ahn Hyo Seop will be playing Yoo Chan, the captain of the rowing club of Taesan High School. He is a high-spirited athlete with fortitude and strength. Although he is a boy with hearty laughter and a charming, cheerful personality, he is competitive when it comes to sports.

“I’m 30 But 17” is scheduled to air after “Wok of Love” ends in July and will be directed by Jo Soo Won and written by Jo Sung Hee.

"Body of a 30-year-old and mindset of a 17-year-old" is very much a no for me.

So two 30 year olds who think they're still 17, will probably be in some weird love triangle with an actual 17yr old... that's... so messy...

I really like this cast but yeah this plot sounds potentially creepy I suppose it depends what they do with Hypseop’s character but maybe it’s too hopeful to think there might not be a romantic storyline there.

Ahn Hyo Soep’s cute but his acting is awful, he is literally getting jobs for his likability not for acting. The only time I thought he acted well was as the musician in Splash Splash Love where he had like 10 lines lol.

But yes also uncomfortable with the potential of that plot

I'm gonna try watching for Yang Sejong

Congrats Korea you just described all men in one sentence.

Hard pass on this one.

I know 30 y/o behaving like 17 y/o is a huge turn off but I for some reasons really really love Jennifer Garner's 13 Going on 30. The movie made me a huge Mark Ruffalo's fan lol. I need to watch that movie at least once a year together with Just Like Heaven, The Painted Veil and Cold Mountain. :D

I also enjoyed 13 going on 30, so when i read the premise of this drama that was the first thing that came to me. So I don't think the plot is strange, I will have to read more about it and see the trailers before I decide.

i love shin hye sun so much and would watch this for her if not for the plot, what a shame :(

I'll watch for Yang Sejong, feels like none of bias are doing dramas lately, even the ones not in the military are not doing tv

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

films are more lucrative than tv dramas and most primetime shows can’t even get double digits (even with quite big stars) these days so i get it. only cable is thriving tbh

Oh I completely understand that it makes sense financially I just miss being able to see my faves twice a week

Kind of a "born sexy yesterday" trope. No thanks.
