After being rumored to join the cast for the past few weeks, today Park Shi Yeon‘s agency announced that she has agreed to star in the drama Nice Guy with Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won. It’s pretty much a love triangle between Joong Ki and his two leading ladies, so let’s not pretend we even care who the other male lead will be. Park Shi Yeon plays the woman who betrays Song Joong Ki, turning the formerly nice guy into a not-so-nice-guy hell bent on revenge. I hope the betrayal is a real eye opener, because seeking revenge for a broken heart is pretty heavy stuff. I’m quite pleased with the talented cast assembled, as I already adore Song Joong Ki and am very fond of Moon Chae Won, and Park Shi Yeon has continued to impress me in recent years with her acting improvement, especially her comedic and captivating turn in Coffee House.
Aside from the cast, I’m actually really interested in the story, especially since it is written by famed screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee. Directing will be the PD who did Romance Town, and by all accounts that drama was quite pretty and interestingly directed. Nice Guy won’t air until August as it will take over Bridal Mask‘s time slot on Wed-Thurs for KBS. Since BM is a twenty-episode drama, fans of this cast will have to hold your horses for a few more months. I have an inkling it’ll be worth the wait.

Since Coffee House was a role like her personality she said she really enjoyed it. This should be interesting...Joongki in a modern drama as lead
I hereby name my horse, Joongki and I am holding him very very very tightly.
A little worried if the PD can't get the best of MCW, who can be a little too even (read a not as nice word, but I don't want any antipans) but when she is good, she is good!
Let's hope both LL can eschew the teary, conflicted roles and move into something FUN, SASSY, SEXY!
Oh, look, Jomo is holding onto a man ... er, horse? But will he go on your bumper, we want to know? ;)
Not on my bumper, in my stable with Junki.
That is Junki, the horse, LW, not the MINE!
**COUGH** I believe you! ;)
BM is slated for a 24 episode broadcast according to naver though, but nice guy will still make its august premiere
Yup, BM is slated for 24 episodes. I'm so happy about this news! The summer dramas will definitely have a tight competition seeing how talented the actors are.
It was also reported earlier on that Lee Gwang Soo is also joining the cast :)
I'm looking forward to it but I'm worried how Park Shi Yeon will look next to Song Joong Ki.D: Moon Chae Won looks good because she has this young look but Park Shi Yeon looks really mature. I hope we will see a sexy and more mature Joong Ki...*___* Not matter what... I'm excited!!
According to some source, PSY's character will betray SJK and get married to MCW's dad (become her step mother). So I think for age wise, it makes sense.
Yeah. I'm looking forward to this newly dark Song Joong Ki. I don't know why, but I'm intrigued of this betrayal which turned a nice guy into a cold-hearted womaniser. His character is similar to the role he portrayed in that Sungkyunkwan drama. but this "Nice Guy" character is the opposite yet similar, so I can't wait for this melodramatic guy to be seen. Actually, I'm imagining him right now being a bad boy and I felt an attraction..
Oh, never mind! I'm watching this drama for sure! Even if it's too depressing to watch as long the plot keeps you glued to your seat or make your hand stunned that you can't touch the remote control. XD
Lol....o man some ppl are so not going to be happy at this news over thinga like age difference..but I'm totally satisfied...PSY has gotten so much better since her MG and she'll form a nice balance agewise if she is supposed to be SJK's ex and MCW's fathers lover/ wife....can't wait to see SJK in revenge/angst mode
Song Joong Ki. That was all I needed when they first announced the drama, but I am glad I adore both the leading ladies. I hope each actor brings their A-game to this because I will be tuning in. I don't think I've ever really finished or truly watched from beginning to end a melodrama, but maybe this will be the first.
You bring up a very real beef with melos.
Not that some become makjang, cause that is part of the recipee, but somehow the characters get stuck in an endless cycle of blame shifting, guilt giving, sacrifice doing until you want to scream.
For some reason, I enjoyed the pain of Will It Snow for Christmas, and a good part of that may be due to the absolute gorgeousness of Go Soo in tears.
I guess if SJK is the one doing the pretty (what else?) crying, I'll hang on till the end, too. <3
20 ep on a revenge story about a broken heart? I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of filler ep; therefore, cutting down wouldn't hurt (but then again all dramas have filler ep).
I don't know if I have the patient for this type .....
Song Joong Ki...I don't need more to watch this!
