Kyaaaaaa, Koala Epic Flail Alert! My perfect precious Moon Geun Young has just confirmed her onscreen return in the SBS weekend drama Cheongdamdong Alice, and her rumored co-star Park Shi Hoo has also confirmed. Double yay, and really, which guy would turn down the chance to work with Geun Young? Though truth be told, my dream ideal pairing would actually be if the two leads of Nice Guy swapped with Alice so that Moon Geun Young was paired with Song Joong Ki, and Moon Chae Won and Park Shi Hoo did a modern drama together and make all the fans of The Princess’s Man over-the-moon with joy. But I’ll not look a gift horse in the mouth after waiting nearly two years since Mary Stayed Out All Night for Geun Young to pick her next acting project. Alice won’t air until December following Five Fingers, though right now the insane behind-the-scenes drama of FF will surely only raise the interest in Alice. Read on for a glimpse of the two lead character descriptions.
Moon Geun Young plays Han Se Kyung, a bright and hardworking girl who believes that only with ceaseless effort can she carve out her place in the world. After countless job interviews she finally gets a job with a fashion design company. But she doesn’t become a fashion designer, but instead has the inglorious job of being the errand girl for the elder company president’s wife. This causes her to reflect on her life so far. Park Shi Hoo plays Cha Seung Ho, a young executive and heir to a large luxury goods company in Korea, and supposedly he comes complete with a devastating formerly relationship baggage. Of course they get involved in a romantic relationship. To be frank, nothing about the story of Cheongdamdong Alice sounds intriguing or meaningful, and is about as cookie cutter of a K-drama Cinderella story as it comes. I put my faith in Moon Geun Young choosing this drama as her comeback project, so she must see something special in the story and/or script. I’m pretty much all in come hell or high water, and since Park Shi Hoo is such a kissing bandit in dramas, I expect tons of making out to transition Moon Geun Young into fully mature and sexy drama roles.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…

I really really wish PSH was playing the lead in Nice Guy. He and MCW have mad chemistry together and I think MGY looks better with people closer to her own age. But, we shall see...
are u serious? LOL..........MGY Used to play with old actors except JKS..But, she always did a good couple with them <3
Yay!! Fantastic!! Anything with Park Shi Hoo rocks !! and MGY is adorbs!!
I really like both actors, but I'm kind of worried about putting then together..... I mean, MGY is really petite, which doesn't always translate well with some of her male counterparts... But hopefully It's just unnecessary anxiety because they are great actors... Two from the few that I really like... And It's purely because of their acting abilities, not appearance, like a lot of other famous actors/actresses... It's only a plus that they both have good outer appearance...
Anywayzzz, looking forward to this drama!!!
This is good news!! Finally, Moon Geun Young is back! ^_^ I miss following her dramas!
I've not seen anything with the actor, but partially watched the Painter drama. The actress is good, but I don't get the hype surrounding her.
Anyway, SBS is not on my current watch-list after the 5F incident, which I was enjoying. Maybe I'll put them back next year around this time....
OMG :-) :-)
Excuse me while I have a heart attack :-)
And yeah, let me go confirm I've got that channel on viki. Oh boy.
Side note- I know the story is cliche but I am up for a good old fashioned romance.No frills, hopefully not too many birth secrets and slapping mother in laws. Just boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Some dates. An ex girlfriend or 2. No sloppy hair and some make out sessions. And some kissing. Because we all know he can kiss. Kekeke...
It's been already two years since MSOAN? WOW!
I don't care if the story is light and nothing special, I am looking forward to see Moon as an adult lady, not a child like. It gives me hope she finally taking a grown up lady role next to PSH.
Oh and yes, Moon&SJK would be my dream couple, their acting is the best in their generation.
I don't like MCW, but she was alright with Moon and PSH as well, so pairing does make a difference in a person's acting his/her role, for example I feel more chemistry between Choi Young (Lee Min Ho) and Princess Nogook from the very beginning of Faith, and I don't think it's because of their age, it's in the air I guess. :P I wish they could become a couple in that drama!
Yeah, Faith made a huge mistake in casting and unfortunately I think it does have a lot to do with age. It's so painfully obvious that Eun Soo is much older than Choi Young regardless of the actual age gap between their characters and, so far, the pairing doesn't seem all that popular.
In Faith, I think for the story they are telling the age difference works for them. He is supposed to be a remarkably younger-than- usual leader, and She is a gutsy, knows-what-she-wants modern woman, who is also a surgeon. I love they cast a doctor age appropriately, too, since they have to spend so many years training.
Their story is not going to have a noona-dongsang vibe, but something more complicated. The age difference is nothing up against the huge divide between their realities, If and when the romance starts, I see it as something neither party wants nor expects from the other. It will take both of them by surprise.
I like them better as adversaries, actually, but I know how that goes...
Maybe you're right, but this is the first time I felt chemistry between LMH and an actress onscreen! I didn't like him with Park Min Young or Koo Hye Sun either.
Jomo, I totally agree that Eun Soo's age is appropriate. I think they could be good friends but I can't quite picture romance at this stage -- it's pretty telling that people seem far more invested in Noguk/Gongmin than the 'main' couple.
I assume in Faith it will be a love circle with the doctor and king too. I do hope when the romance does starts it will be not too cliche but a surprise of how they both felt and tried not to ignore each other.
Yipeeeeeeeeeeee.....finally our precious MGY drought is over ..... I am counting down to year end see her again !!!
Hooray!!! \o/ Oh December please come soon!
Thanks Captain Koala for this awesome news. :)
MGY doesn't have the best track record for picking dramas (MSOAN? Cinderella Unni?) but I like cutesy Cinderella stories, so I am in. Plus, Park Shi Hoo! I have an unreasonable crush on the man.
