Take this news with a huge grain of salt. Or do as I do, since I’ll believe it only when I see the contracts signed, which might be when pigs fly when it comes to this particular leading man. K-news outlets are reporting that Won Bin, who is as elusive to television for the last twelve years as penguins are to the tropics (that last time he was on, men had mullets and wore hammer pants) has received the script for Noh Hee Kyung‘s upcoming drama and is considering the project. It might take a screenwriter of Noh Hee Kyung’s caliber to lure this notoriously finicky guy out of his years between any projects predilection.
Word on the street is that Kim Tae Hee may be the leading lady opposite him, since the PD for the drama will be Noh Hee Kyung’s longtime collaborator Kim Kyu Tae, who worked with Kim Tae Hee on IRIS and would like for her to play the lead. Neither star is confirmed, but the mere possibility is enough to get all the news outlets all excited. I’m more of a fan of Noh Hee Kyung than I am of either Won Bin or Kim Tae Hee, but they would make a ridiculously gorgeous coupling onscreen, and if this turns out to be true, wouldn’t be the first time they worked together. They did a series of Cyon cell phone CFs back in 2006, which were really cute.
Won Bin was rocking the Kim Nam Gil pornstache back in 2006 (but since it was earlier than when Kim Nam Gil was rocking it back in 2010, perhaps it should be referred to the other way around?), and had a dubious haircut, but other than that, he was really entertaining in these CFs with an always charming Kim Tae Hee. If anything, watching these CFs is a glaring reminder of how quickly cell phone technology has evolved in the span of 6 years. To think that in another 6 years, the IPhone and Galaxy would be considered obsolete antiques.
Won Bin and Kim Tae Hee for Cyon CF 2006:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Ummm, no, please.
KTH was wise to choose a fluffy piece like MP.
THT matched her skill level well.
(Look - I didn't even use quotation marks.)
But WB and KTH? Using an Olympic analogy,(why not?) she's like the little hoop they use in Rhythmic Gymnastics and he's like the entire Judo team.
I think there is some cosmic hoodoo going on here. Who was Kim Tae Hee's last K-drama co-star? None other than my Heon oppa. The last time Won Bin was in a K-drama, who was the leading man he was up against? None other than my Heon oppa. So perhaps time tripping Dr. Jin is doing something weird here. Somewhere Song Hye Kyo is saying "yeah, those two wept tubs of tears for me first, Kim Tae Hee."
I have this burning desire that if WB were to ever make a comeback, it would be nice to be with Song Hye Kyo. Luv their chemistry.
No offense but I feel that if they do take the roles, KTH will get eaten up by Won Bin.... I don't think that her acting is even close to his.....
No offense...
Kim Tae Hee can't handle Noh Hee Kyung's material. I really hope this casting rumor turns out to be false. I like Kim Tae Hee, but I don't want her anywhere near a Noh Hee Kyung script. Rom-coms are better suited for her...acting style.
True, I believe romance/comedy is suited 4 her.
uh oh , Kim Tae Hee? no please! I prefer Won Bin without a leading girl
I'm in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. I'm not going to worry about it yet since 50/50, it doesn't even pan out. I do like KTH - I think she's really pretty and sassy but not really a great emotional actress. I don't know. I'll believe it when I see it and then have an opinion.
I do want Won Bin back in a drama - Please drama gods, make it happen.
*____* Won Bin ahjusshi <3. Wasn't Kim Tae Hee offered the drama adaptation of my girlfriend is an agent? (Heard Joo Won was offered the main lead too (obsessed with JW at the moment) ) Well to be honest I hope she gets neither rolls x)...
If it's Won Bin I want someone along the likes of Ha Ji Won or Son Ye Jin. Eeeeek~ both aren't busy at the moment right?
HJW will be working on her movie next. She starts filming soon.
oh please not kim tae hee.
i prefer ha ji won pleaseee. they will make a perfect couple on screen with their acting skill <3
Won Bin doing drama? wow! that's just great news. his short drama Friends, and his movie The Man From Nowhere are on my all-time favorite list, and still stored on my computer for me to watch anytime. if this project turns out to be true, then 2012 is indeed a kdrama gold. I also love to see him doing drama with ha-jiwon.
i would rather have Wonbin without main lead actress. juust him in a drama with showing lots go choc abs in every epiode...:)
I prefer a Won Bin and Ha Ji Won tandem if this prospers.
agree, won bin and ha ji won... please! ^^
yep WB and HJW! though i think she won't be doing dramas anytime soon cause she recently finished k2h
