Jung Kyung Ho and Jang Nara Pair Up for MBC Wed-Thurs Drama One More Happy Ending

View Comments

• Like both, this will be in my must watch list!

  • I really wish Jung Kyung Ho would do more dramas like Cruel City. He was charismatic and captivating in that drama. Sadly, I don't enjoy watching him in the comedic, romantic lead type roles, and I also don't enjoy the way he is styled in those dramas.

• Oh.. You mean Only those who make high ratings deserve to keep getting cast in dramas?

  Or...?

  • Yeah you are right. Koala only liked a few people to act in tons of dramas.
    And I dunno who koala likes. But I know who koala disliked, like one whole list ...

• "I’m not a big Jang Nara fan and honestly her dramas don’t really garner high ratings, so I’m in the camp that doesn’t quite get why she keeps getting cast in dramas."

  Koala, big stars like Song Hye Kyo, Jung Ji Hyun and so on actually do not do dramas frequently. Plus, keep getting cast can be contributed by many factors. For example, the less payment, her attitude and so on. I think it depends on project too, the bigger scale of drama, the more they will try to cast at the top stars. Plus, even top stars will not promise for a high rating.

  I have no complaint about her always being casted, since she can ACT and actually has some popularity as well. Plus, she never ruined any drama because of her acting.

  • Koala doesn't care about these reasons, and many commentators in previous postings are cruel to many actors and actresses.

  • Jang Nara cast for a few reason right off the top of my head, one she can act and be trusted to act the role given her and bring something speacil to the role,two her dramas while not huge hits are in these day of single number veiwer rating are still solid dramas ie there no risk of acually losing money, even more so when you add in reason number three, that is almost a certain sale for any drama she in to China and other counties in greater Asia area and four she can do a song or two to spice up the OST for the drama, though she very much more into acting these days, she still sings . I guess that a five is related to that as well as the aura from the years of the Jang Nara craze early 2000's is still felt in Korea.

• So many casting news today.Go Soo is making his comeback to the small screen with Jin se yeon while EXO's Beakhyun is cast in Bu bu Xing(k-adpt) and Kim so hyun is cast in writer Pak hye rhyun drama

• You find HJE blah in swp? Well,you could just say that the writing was not up to your par,but to say she was not so good is a bit harsh.I think actors really do their part,it's the writing/direction which should be credited to fault.

  • She was overacting, a lot. Especially in the first few episodes. You can't really blame a scriptwriter for that.

    • I think it goes with her character,some people are hysterical,it dint seem like overacting to me.Rather,I liked the original unkempt awkward hye jin a lot really,more than the one who became pretty later on.

• Not here to talk about actual post, but, Koala, I need someone to squee with about Marry Me or Not!

• I always find Jang Nara performance to be serviceable at her lowest and wonderfully natural (fated to love you + my bratty princess) at her highest. So I certainly have no issues with her doing another drama. Since she won't make me pull out my hair over her acting credibility. So she's one of my favourite for the exact reason.

  Anyhow, yay for Jung Kyung Ho!!! He hasn't been on the big 3 network for a while

  • JN is a fine actress. Koala's standard is too high!

• Thanks dramagods for giving JN a solid male lead! now i'll definitely watch it! this will be an interrsting pairing for sure..hope they will have chemisty.

  about JN herself, i don't think she's too overrated and in the 2 dramas i watched her (FTLY and IRY) she gave a good performance and she's very agreeble to the eyes.

  I don't agree about HJE in SWP, i think it's not her fault the drama went to nowhere in the second half, rather than that she still was good in her role. the problem with the drama is that they used all they have till ep 10 and after that the writers didn't know what to do with the drama so they kinda improvized and that's why many left with a sour taste. tho i'm glad at least the last episode wasn't so bland and we got the ending we wanted.

  • Yeah I think the script wasn't awesome in SWP in the later half esp on the romance.

    The plot is also lacking which limits the actors in bringing out more versatiliy. That's the problem with pure romance drama....

    • I agree. great example is PSJ who was great in KMHM but didn't have much to do with his role in SWP and that's pity. maybe that why many viewers came with crazy theories about him lol. no doubt the one who got most from that drama was Choi si won who stole the limelight. i get a feeling that after finishing his service in the army he'll be offered main roles. the reviews about his role are really good.

    • Dear pearl, yes you are right - choi si won is underrated. He has improved in acting so hopefully he gets leading roles.
      PSJ should be given more interesting lines to showcase his talents. There were some good and cute moments of PSJ after the revelation of HJ's identity and before the kiss...
      But after the kiss the sizzle and tension lessened to accommodate the silly plot of the magazine and HJ's ambition ....What a way to wrap up the series....after such a promising start and cast...

• Jang Nara actually did draw good ratings prior to this ratings slump. IRY was the only ratings flop she has (but well received) and Mr Back averaged over 10 though it was a piece of cr*p. She was actually known to be a hitmaker so I'm not sure what you're getting on about.

  • IRY did have low veiwer ratings, though again they where much higher on the internet in korea, it to be remembered that the time slot has a history of poor veiwer rating on KBS, but IRY was one of the best all around dramas made this year, that is there is no low point in production writing and acting, they all worked so well together right through the whole drama that it is credit to KBS that they never allowed netzien pressure to say add more romance to the drama and keep to the writers vision through out. In many ways it may not have been a ratings winner but it was certain one that put credit to all involved.

• Jang Nara can actually ACT, and unlike some lead actresses, she's able to blend into her character so you don't feel like you're watching the same actress over and over again, in different dramas. I loved her in all her previous roles (latest ones, of course) with the exception of Mr. Baek, whose script was so bad, I just want to forget the drama ever existed. I am happy at this pairing and am looking forward to watching this drama, hopefully the script will be good.
