First Peek at Jang Geun Seok Romancing Park Shin Hye on Jeju for Lotte Duty Free

I confess to being only mildly excited when news broke that You’re Beautiful co-stars Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye were reuniting for the umpteenth time for an onscreen project. It would be a lot more satisfying if this happened sooner after You’re Beautiful, as well as if they hadn’t been doing CFs together over the years. With that said, CFs can’t beat a real deal acting opportunity and the first stills are out of Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok together in Jeju filming a web movie for Lotte Duty Free. It looks so sweet and charming, and more importantly, they took fantastic and awesome together despite the five years since You’re Beautiful. The post-topping picture is of pretty Shin Hye only and I’ve saved the couple stills until after the jump as a surprise because Jang Geun Seok has a new hairdo and HOMG does it look good on him. He’s finally FINALLY got a follicly decent look, which if you’ve been following along with his career since it took off with YB, you would know has been a really big sore spot for a lot of his drama fans.

For the longest time he sported past shoulder locks for multiple acting projects, some of which worked, others not so much, but ultimately started to grow frustratingly repetitive. He cut it this past Autumn for his KBS drama Pretty Boy (Bel Ami), but for some weird reason the short hair was then styled in various strange and odd looking designs. I’m beyond thrilled that his best hair day in years is coming in a collaboration with Park Shin Hye, one of his most memorable acting costars in a drama that remains a fun and inoffensive watch. She looks great as well, but these days she’s also due for a style update from her typical mid-back long flowing locks. I do like that she changes it up for her dramas, cutting it short for Heartstrings and going curly disheveled for Flower Boy Next Door. Check out the uber-cute couple filming stills below, and beware of swooning from YB flashback feels (Tae Kyung and Mi Nyeo all grown up!) coupled with a pudgy corgi that is a scene-stealer.
