Buh? Okay, this is one pairing I’ve never considered in a million billion years. Not that I object, but somehow this has never crossed my mind when I do my fun dream pairings when I’m trying to go to sleep (as opposed to counting sheep). Park Shi Hoo is reportedly in talks and considering taking on the male lead of the upcoming SBS weekend drama Cheongdamdong Alice. The leading lady has been widely rumored to be Moon Geun Young, though her agency has merely confirmed that she is seriously considering the drama but has not yet committed. The male lead will be the owner of a luxury goods store in Cheongdamdong (a tony area of Seoul), while the female lead is a young fashion designer that has taken to making knock off luxury goods for a living, and their is a love that crosses social status and income barriers. It’s weird that I can already see Park Shi Hoo and Moon Geun Young in those respective roles, but my worry remains that the story construct sounds sooooo cliche and Cinderella up the wazoo. The casting will likely be confirmed shortly as this drama is scheduled to premiere in December following Five Fingers.
While the drama will be adapted from a popular trendy novel Cheongdamdong Oduri (Audrey, ala Audrey Hepburn’s style), I’ve seen enough adaptations crash and burn despite coming from solid source material. Plus the fashion theme is littered with truly shiteous carcasses of K-dramas (Style, Fashion King, Cinderella Man), that even hearing it’ll be set in the fashion world leaves me quivering in fear. I’m caught between wanting my Geun Young to hurry up and return to me, and not wanting her to take a project that will end up being a screenwriting failure. As for this possible pairing, I’m game for it. Moon Geun Young rocked some amazing chemistry with Kim Rae Won despite their vast age difference, and Park Shi Hoo is capable of having chemistry with inanimate objects. I remain in “wait and see” mode on this project and rumored cast.

He definitely crossed my mind because I've been thinking that his time for a comeback was rife....hmmmm idk how I feel about the pairing.... Just cant seem to picture it in mt head...what I do know is that the fact that this will be in the fashion world makes me want to cry...also the romantic setup is soooo unoriginal....the good thing though is that this IS based on a (popular??) Novel...so hopefully it wont be that bad as long as it stays true to the setip??
Fashion world? Give me a break. Even with my favorite actors I don't feel ready to plunge again in that world. Superficial world (by essence) + Cinderella story = Lazy script which runs in circles on the horizon. Fashion King was enough, thanks.
PS: Sorry Raine, I'm sure you don't need me to have fun. :)
Yes to Park Shi Hoo, no to Moon Geun Young. She needs to stick to movies.
Huh?
Huh?x2!
Lol, I'm on the lookout for her career! She doesn't seem to have the best taste in dramas but who knows, this may be the one.
Er...'Stick to'??
She could act as a flower AND still win somethin' somethin'.
She as flexible an actress , if ever there was.
No. She doesn't have to stick to anything.
I've liked PSH since Prosecutor Princess, and The Princess's Man made me like him more, but I'm not sold on this drama. I guess I'll watch the first episode?...
I think this works - I think they would be super sexy together if the script allows.
MGY had chemistry with Park Shin Yang in PotW, although they never went there (even though I wanted them to.)
She was really good in that show - I wonder why she doesn't do more sagueks.
I am hot and cold with PSH. In PP, I wanted him wanted him, but in that show everyone loves, the script in the back 9 had him on lather, rinse, repeat for his emotions.
I know!!! I want MGY in another sageuk sooo bad!!!
I can't see MGY with PSH together. O.o It's just weird! I think MGY should consider another sageuk drama, maybe the one following Nice Guy!?
OMG! I've never thought of PSH with Moon before, but now as a think about, I'd love to see them together.
Cliche' or not, I like that kind of stories, but of course I also want Moon to have success at work.

KGS and MGY Love them!!!! Hope they play daughter and father again ^^
and I loved PSH in TPM but Suyang's actor and Brain's actor deserved more the award....
Yay PSH might be back!! Nooo... Not with MGY. I feel she is young for him but I know that's hardly true like you mentioned her chemistry with KRW... idk.
It will all come down to whether the two have chemistry. They both have acting ability up the wazoo so that's not a worry. Moon has spent a majority of her career playing opposite to much older men (I think Mary Stayed out all night was the first time she played opposite someone her own age since Autumn Tale) so the age thing doesn't bother me.
lol but MCW is just one year older than MGY and she had mad chemistry with PSH!
There are quite a few that are hung up on the age thing. It is just a number. If any young actress can play opposite an older actor it is Ms Moon.
Besides it is the one male fantasy that has no cultural barrier. Ms Moon can act in a movie, drama, or play opposite anyone and she shines. Sageuk, rom-com or horror; she is a great actress.
\\(^v^)// Ditto!
I believe MGY can have chemistry with anyone.
She even had chemistry with MCW and always worked with older actors in movies and I still shipped her with them!
She had chemistry with KRW, with Kim Joo-hyuk in love me not (and he was waaay older than her here a mv: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=3josCFfz2PA] and with Park Geon-Hyeong in innocent steps...
So let's go!! :)
Didn't she and MCW win couple of the year, too, in PotW?
