It’s been decidedly quiet on the enlistment front these days but there have been plenty of murmurings about who is heading off to the army soon. Two of my guys are currently in the army and Yoo Seung Ho won’t be released until December while Song Joong Ki doesn’t come out until early 2015. A talented male actor is coming back soon and that’s Ji Hyun Woo. Anytime I hear his name it’s impossible not to think of Queen In Hyun’s Man. He enlisted shortly after that cable hit drama wrapped back in late Summer of 2012, but that alone wouldn’t have kept his name in the limelight as much as his very public and high-profile relationship with Yoo In Na. They co-starred in the drama and pretty much fell in love with the cameras rolling and the audience rooting for them. Their characters were super adorable and endearing and they had so much chemistry together they could bottle and sell in.
There hasn’t been that many openly acknowledged onset couplings so Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na are definitely one of the most memorable. Last year there was Moon Geun Young and Kim Bum in Goddess of Fire and I wonder which onscreen pairing will turn reel into real this year in 2015. Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo’s relationship was reportedly on the rocks late last years as tabloids speculated that she was ready to move on from a boyfriend in the army and her own rising star in dramas after doing The Best Lee Soon Shin. Yoo In Na has denied them breaking up and said the relationship is still ongoing. I like her well enough but I’m much more looking forward to Ji Hyun Woo’s return to acting. He’s been in army musicals after enlisting so his acting and singing skills are clearly not rusty. Since it’s been a drama rut lately with a bunch of dramas ending and the news ones not yet arrived, I highly recommend Queen In Hyun’s Man as a great drama to marathon and fall in love with an extraordinary leading man and experience a lovely love story. Check out a great MV below to get swept away.

Yay...finally
aww... such wonderful news!
Yayy he coming back. So happy ^_^
Thank you for this. So funny because I was just looking up yesterday and noticed he's coming out of service. Timely of you to report this because it's really silent on the media about his return. I mean there was much news about Hyun Bin. I cannot wait to see these two together again. I got so excited I started watching Taming of the Heir.
My favorite kdrama, ever.
Definitely one of my top...three.
One more has gone into the marines quietly, Yoon Shi Yoon. I really admire the way he went. Ms Koala, I thot u like him too? :)
Those 2 were really sweet together in QIHM.
What worked for this drama is a combination of a fresh depiction of time travel during a period where time travel dramas flood the market, a smart and collected male lead who is so different from all other kdrama male leads who typical harbour some painful backstory/have a cold hard exterior/start off with bickering with the female lead, an endearing and relatable female lead, and of course good acting and even better chemistry. Ji Hyun Woo was so lucky to clinch this role!
Who can forget the scene where we finally see how Boongdo had to make an active decision to risk his life so as to travel to see the only thing/person he knows on the other end? And the scene where she cried her heart out thinking that he had died!
The out-ing of their real life romance was ....so romantic! I wish them all the best!
Also what worked:
- lack of chaebol corporate shenanigans
- lack of shouty MILs
- lack of bitchy, interfering female 2nd lead (the gisaeng was awesome)
- adorable sidekicks
In short, it's as close to perfect as a kdrama can be! :D
I've tried twice to watch this twice but couldn't get into it and I don't know why :( I got up to episode 6 and it felt like nothing had happened. I loved the leads chemistry though, very cute.
i was thinking about him a week ago. I was wondering when he would come out. now i know. i expect to see a wedding soon.
can't believe that 2 years rolled by already. im so glad for them and for being patient with each other. i hear wedding bells in the near future for these two! lol
