This news is totally an “excuse me but come again?” reaction goldmine, but also may have a secondary benefit of assuaging the disappointed and/or angry feelings of certain drama fans watching a K-drama remake of a popular TW-drama. Korean and Chinese news is off with a bang this Monday with reports that K-actress Ha Ji Won is categorically denying rumors that she’s dating Taiwanese actor Bolin Chen, with whom she is starring with in an upcoming C-movie. For those who didn’t even hear of the so-called rumors until hearing of this denial, go ahead and have a moment to take it all in.
Yes, Ha Ji Won, who is currently starring as the female lead of The Time I Loved You, the K-remake of TW-drama In Time With You, is denying that she’s dating in real life Bolin Chen, who of course is best known as the male lead of In Time With You. The dating rumors have been percolating for a few weeks now and actually didn’t materialize out of thin air as some sort of fan fantasy. Bolin recently signed with the same Korean agency as Ha Ji Won for his foray in Korea, while she signed with the same agency in China that reps Bolin for her entry into the Chinese entertainment pool. In addition, Ha Ji Won and Bolin have been spotted posting updates to their respective SNS accounts that are eerily similar in topic and shot selection. Take a look for yourself below.
Sure, Ha Ji Won and Bolin could both love their cats and tend to pose the same way in doing cat selfies. I’ll have to defer to the cat lovers out there. They also like glowing planets and shots of the solar system and that could just mean they are enamored of the vast universe beyond our little Earthly existence. And who doesn’t love Gustav Klimt, right? Too bad Ha Ji Won is denying the rumors since it would be insane, ridiculous, perfect meta moment if the K-version of Chen You Qing ended up dating the TW-version of Li Da Ren.
C’mon people, it’s not like the TW-version of Chen You Qing the married Ariel Lin ever did or will have anything going on with Bolin, but imagining super intense gorgeous Bolin with incredibly awesome and charismatic Ha Ji Won makes me happy as a loon. As of now she’s denying it so chalk this one up to either (1) a series of coincidences that are just that, or (2) they are totally dating but won’t admit it. If it’s the latter then the C-netizens will be happy to snatch a Korean goddess over to the Chinese side after losing Tang Wei and Crystal Liu in rapid succession to the oppas.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…

This couple I approve hahaha.
sadly although I approve as well...the article is misleading. Those pictures were not posted in succession but a long period from each other.
Like the last two pictures were a year apart.
They are so totally dating! Even if they are not, they must be "very close friends" who share the same interests...hehe.
This is unacceptable. He's MINE!! ?
As much as I like this pairing (sorry Binnie, but please get a move on it, if not I'm totally fine with her and Bolin), the posts are totally coincidental. They posted the pics soooooo far apart from each other you can't even count them as "something more". I'm pretty sure I've got A LOT of pics on my IG that are similar to pics found on a lot of other people's accounts.
Wow those are super similar that I'm doubting HJW's claim lol. But the dates they are posted matters too. They'll be gorgeous together if it's true though. Love them both so I'd be thrilled if this was true!
man there just too many similar between these two. there might be a big chance that they both dating in real life. what are the odd of him singing with HJW company and her singing with his company in taiwon. if they not dating.
HJW is getting old like SSH so she might want to start dating like him.
if this rumor turn out to be true then c-net might not be as mad cuz they got a beauty in HJW.
not only those things, but Ha Ji Won and Chen Bolin shared the same interest like Audrey Hepburn, Castle in the sky, Luffy (One peace) and more... Too many coincidencesss
check the dates, and you will know it is really just a coincidence. The posting date matters, the date is so far apart, some of them are even as far as a year. HJW's agency is also very firm in denying this.
the way she/him sign with each other company is way too odd. so chance of them dating in real life is very high. as for denying. their company might want to keep it secret till they both closed to getting married or got photoshot like SSH/LYF.till then there no reason to not lie if their no photo of them getting in a car togther.
I think it's not just the dates matter. The number of coincidences too. Add the fact that she chose ITWY remake and will make a movie with him plus signed on their respective agencies. You can also sense in her interview on Hallyu World that there is something there. Too bad, they denied it.
wow, this news seems so hilariously random I sort of want it to be truth. They'd be gorgeous together (mostly cause they're gorgeous individually). But, well, if they're denying it, that's all there's to it I guess.
The pics they posted are way to similar that even if they are not dated the same or near, I feel like they could be soulmates. Though that is just wishful thinking on my side cause i super super super love both, Bolen Chen is probably my fave of faves in TW while JiWon unni is in my top 5 faves for K-celebs....
And even if they are not dating, this could be the case like Yoon Kyesang and Honey Lee where they started dating after the scandal broke out, especially since it ms pretty obvious that they have so much i common and could definitely makes gorgeous and awesonetastic babies together...
