Joo-won headlines cops ‘n’ robbers rom-com

So, totally didn’t intend for it to be the Week of Joo-won Headlines, but I guess Fate’s got other ideas. After three hit dramas (Baker King Kim Tak-gu, Ojakkyo Brothers, Gaksital) and one that defies all earth logic (here’s lookin’ at you, Level 7 Civil Servant), Joo-won is going back to filmlandia to take his first headlining role in a movie.
It’s a romantic comedy called Only You, which is so vague you may as well call it A Romance Film. Though really, I suppose you’d get more people in the theater if you just went ahead and called it Movie Starring Joo-won-ie. The movie will be an unusual love story between a house burglar and a cop. It’s described as a light comedy, and will be directed by newcomer Lee Hyun-jong.
Joo-won will be playing the cop, which is kind of a bummer, given that he’s played that character about ten thousand times already. I’d rather have him be the cat burglar. Meow. The production is still in the casting process for the thievin’ heroine. I can only say this with so much emphasis because there’s no such thing as double-italics: She’d better be a good match for him. That is all.
Only You hopes to finish casting and start shooting as soon as Level 7 ends. No rest for the pretty.

Date: 2013-03-09 04:16 pm (UTC)tbh i'm not really bothered he's playing another cop, all the characters he's played have been different and he's played them differently. so i don't think he's type-casting himself in a sense. after gaksital he really wanted to do lighter stuff and this project came along and it's billed as a comedy, so. he's basically not had a break since ojakgyo brothers tho, slow down boy!!!!
random but i hope he does a sageuk soon. i would love that.
