Lee Dong Gun and Yoon Eun Hye Save a Puppy as Their Time-travel Drama Gets New English Title

Are you kidding me, drama! Lee Dong Gun in all-black, with Yoon Eun Hye and her rabbity grin, AND a puppy wearing a coat? If this drama isn’t trying to slay us with the cute right off the bat, then it’s succeeded already without even realizing it. I’m not even watching Good Doctor but even if I was I would probably be like “shoo, shoo, get thee off the air now!” Of course this drama isn’t even ready for airing, but if the titular heroine Mirae can time travel then maybe I can shoot myself forward one month and get my grubby hands on this baby. The upcoming KBS time-travel drama with the Korean title Mirae’s Choice or Future’s Choice has now gotten another new English title – the brand spanking mouthful Marry Him If You Dare. First of all, I’m getting massive flashback vibes to another KBS drama with the word Marry in it – the 2010 Mary Stayed Out All Night which had an English title of Marry Me, Mary (which I shorted to M3). That drama was a hot mess though I personally loved it when I watched it live, but the similarity is that the Korean title is totally different than the English title. I don’t dislike Marry Him If You Dare, because that pretty much captures the other side of this time-travel exercise where future Mirae travels back to warn past Mirae not to marry Lee Dong Gun’s Kim Shin. But with a title like Marry Him If You Dare, I’m pretty much 99.9% certain she’s going to take that dare and marry him (again in this new time line). I would have been fine if the English title mirrored either Korean version but I’ll take this title as well, which has a cute punny linguistic tang similar to Catch Me If You Can. In these BTS fan pictures, Yoon Eun Hye is filming with Lee Dong Gun and they are out on assignment when she sees a puppy darting into the road and she runs to snatch it up to safety. I wonder if she’s going to get more future on-dits from her future self so she knows what’s going to happen, other than the constant nagging to stay away from the bad news hot guy Kim Shin and never ever fall for him and other such nonsense. Because it bears repeating once again – girlfriend be crazy not to marry Lee Dong Gun. Or Kim Shin. Whatever – y’all get my drift. Yoon Eun Hye and Lee Dong Gun and puppy wearing a coat arrives on our screens October 14th.

  • Koala Unnie, I long for the day when you become cured from the Joowon allergy. ;)
    But, too cure that allergy, you'd probably want to stay far away from GD. I'm part of the minority tho, because I can't stand Joowon in Good Doctor. I don't want to be misinterpreted, I like the character, just not the way the actor is portraying him.

    I'm looking forward to this :) I really like person vs. fate/destiny dramas. I hope, I really hope this would be worth the wait.

  • Whatever the title is...i cant wait for this fantasy drama to air...coz there is cuteness overload in here! Love all the cast even the puppy lol!

    • Title (romaji): Juunen Saki mo Kimi ni Koishite
      Also known as: I'll Still Love You In 10 Years
      He goes to see his wife from 10 years ago to prevent them from meeting and falling in love.

  • What a mouthful...I much rather prefer Mirae's Choice or Future's Choice. Kind of puts more of the emphasis on the husband storyline (which is definitely a big part of it) rather than Mirae's story and finding out whether she wants to be with her husband. Mehhhhhh I'll check it out but Yoon Eun Hye has been lackluster for me as of late.

    • The plot line is beyond obvious so I'm not sure that the title really matters. Of course she's going to pick her husband.

      • I had a laugh about the title, too - of course she is going to dare to marry him, future self or no future self. Marriage is always a leap into the deep end of the pool, and people are always flinging themselves in regardless of the well-intentioned and often quite reasonable warnings of their friends and relations.
        Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't, but it seems few human beings can resist the journey. My husband and I were warned that we might not be suited for one another - 30 years ago, LOL (yes, we are still together).

    • Agree.
      Mirae's Choice is my top pick because its short, easy to remember, and not confused with other shows.

  • I little disappointed with "Good Doctor" so i put it on hold.I m looking so forward for YEH's new drama.I have big hopes for this one.
