Aw man, how did I get so lucky? Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won have confirmed their involvement with the upcoming Hong Sisters’ drama The Discovery of Affection, which is scheduled to air on Wed-Thurs on MBC starting in June.
Seriously? One half of two separate sets of OTPs which comprise my top OTPs of all time getting together in a rom-com? Excuse me while I go do the Rocky Balboa run over there for a minute. *cue the aspirational music*
The man who played Jo Gook from City Hall (one of the most unforgettable anti-hero/heroes of in all of dramaland) and the woman who was Chae Eun Hwan from Sang Doo, Let’s Go to School (to whom I have a Pavlovian reaction towards, when I type the words Sang Doo I immediately start crying and laughing) in the same drama is as solid and potentially epic a pairing as I can conjure up.
Both always have impeccable chemistry with their co-stars, and are such good actors I love or hate them based on how I feel about their character (i.e. they become the character completely). I think I just found my potential 2011 Summer drama crack.

I am so very excited. Hong Sisters haven't been my cup of tea recently but with this cast, I don't care!
YES! I am SO looking forward to this. I love that the Hong Sisters are finally skewing more mature (not that young is a bad thing, but all four of their rom-coms have had very young actors) and I love that each of these actors has solid acting chops + capability of creating excellent chemistry with costars. I am going to be blissful all day, I know. :)
I echo girlfriday's reaction: YAY! Not that I didn't like Lee Seung-ki, and it still would have been cute the way they'd had it conceptualized before, but it will be interesting to see the Hong sisters do something a little more grown-up this time around. With You're Beautiful and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho they skewed a little young; maybe with Gong Hyo-jin and Cha Seung-won being a little older we can get some plot that will lead to some more *cough* mature chemistry. A la City Hall. But times, like, five.
SQUEEEEEE!
and to repeat myself
SQUEEEEE!
IKR! I whooped with joy when I read the news on Dramabeans. Incidentally, what's up with the negative reactions to that pairing? o_O I don't understand.
Me? I love CSW and GHJ so much and I can't wait for this drama.
I think it's the grownups vs. the kiddos.
Probably. Still, meh. Super-mature reaction there. :/
There's a negative reaction towards the pairing???
I read a few, which is why I was so puzzled.
As momosan said, maybe it's the generational gap and the fact that CSW "replaced" LSG. LSG tends to attract a younger audience, but still. o_O
Oh goodness. I am so excited. Cha Seoung Won and Hong Sisters = sure win! Just love it. Can't wait for CSW's sexy kiss secens and his beast style face expression..oh man just yummy. Opps sorry...I need to claim down..hehe
OMG
This is casting Heaven...
I heart these two so will I be watching? Heck yes. Plus, it's the Hong Sisters. They have yet to write a drama that I haven't liked.
But just in case, *knocks on wood*. I don't want to jinx it.
*fans self*
yes indeed, potential 2011 summer drama crack!!! can't wait. Wheeeeeeeeee~
I'll join you in your Rocky Balboa run
Summer would be fun!!!
