I was hoping the same for Lee Seung Gi, who is enlisting in T-minus 10 days, but it looks like Lee Min Ho will be the 87er who will do a major K-drama swan song before he enlists later this year. Lee Min Ho is being courted for screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s next drama, which continues her highly anticipated reputation after delivering the mega-hit You From the Stars followed by the less successful but still buzzy Producer. I’m still surprised she turned out to be such an influential screenwriter now, but then again she was unexpectedly awesome in her first penned drama Queen of Housewives.
The new drama doesn’t have a name yet but has a genre – it’ll be a rom-com, folks! That’s going to make folks clamoring for more rom-coms happy, but Lee Min Ho really isn’t the king of rom-coms any way one looks at it. Heirs isn’t a rom-com (lol not by a long shot), Boys Before Flowers is a school yard Candy fantasy, and only Personal Taste was supposed to be a rom-com and was a painfully dull one at that. I know more fans who like Lee Min Ho thanks to action City Hunter or fantasy sageuk Faith. With that said, I’m game for a Park Ji Eun-Lee Min Ho collaboration, especially thrown on top is news that the drama is being directed by PD Jin Hyuk who did City Hunter, The Master’s Sun, and Dr. Stranger.
No word on when the drama will air or which channel it’ll air on, but PD Jin works exclusively with SBS these days, and Lee Min Ho’s last three dramas were on SBS, so it might land there. But Park Ji Eun’s written dramas for all three networks, and with this being so high profile right off the bat there might be scrambling behind the scenes to land it. It’s certainly rocketed up my radar on Lee Min Ho’s name alone. I just pray to the drama gods he doesn’t play the same tsundere/chaebol/arrogant type he’s always playing in modern dramas. Make him a loser or a beta-male, anything to change up his image and challenge his acting.

Inasmuch as I'm anticipating this drama.. I doubt that he'll want a challenge as his last drama before enlisting. In any case, count me excited.
I am not LMH fan at all. Don't find him attractive the way so many women do. However, I can watch him and this looks like a good set up.
BUT...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not have him in high school!!!!! I'm so over that with these guys who played high school guys then played several dramas where they are mid-late 20 career guys...then back to high school. I CANNOT wrap my mind around it when they do that. I just pretend it's college, not high school. LOL!!
You were talking about the Heirs. LOL...those bunch overgrown "kids" in the drama....
I wish Yoona can be his leading lady , i always wanted to see them together in a drama since they have such a good chemistry in their Innisfree Cfs.
Also Yoona is at her best doing rom-coms , and they are both huge stars in China so this could make a lot of money for the producers.
Rom Com ? He suits action WAAAAY better .
It has to have more elements than a traditional rom-com otherwise it's going to be deathly dull. I love Lee Min Ho in action dramas. He has the looks and physique for it as well as the charisma. Of all the dramas he has done, I found Personal Taste to be the most deathly dull of them all.
I hated Heirs with a passion, but even Heirs was more interesting, story-wise and acting-wise than Personal Taste. In my humble opinion, LMH would be wasted in a rom-com. Unless it has elements of Fantasy (like Secret Garden, or My Love From the Stars) or espionage (like King2Hearts) or something else to offer than traditional boy meets girl falls in love and overcomes the Chaebol type prejudice nonsense etc etc
LMH in rom-com is pretty meh...but I like PD Jin.
LSG should have done a drama before he enlists. Well...
LMH has always been strong in the comedy side of dramas and thats what have made him this famous to begin with. his checky smile and teasing co-stars is his strongest side of all things.
BOF's has insane alot of comedy encounters Tom/jerry and had alot of comedy and was in a sense rom-com to a degree. Mackerel run has been a rom-com and really fun. even in Heirs and City hunter LMH's strongest side were his funny side teasing, laughs etc etc. so in that sense I beg to differ alot his strongest side of all is his comedy acting
You need to do something productive with your life Koala and stop writting about Invididuals you personal hate? It's easy just stop writing about them thats all how hard can it be. we as Minoz are not forcing you on LMH and we are not forcing him on anyone if you don't like just switch channel no need to carry grudge against the guy and there is absolutely no reason for that.
The article is dead wrong as well his best acting is comedy and funny moments. I agree with the up lauhging and teasing etc etc and the first imagine of memory his fans have of him is the playful Minho and thats his true personality a very playful individual and never ending smiles friendliness
Well no one is forcing you to go to this blog and read this article either...
Way to overreact. There wasn't even a mention of his acting, just the fact that he's not particularly known for comedies which looking at his drama/movie list is absolutely correct. And if someone isn't particularly impressed by his acting, their entitled to their opinion and free to express it.

All these who come to this blog know that LMH is your ''Satan'' the guy you hate more then the devil and as you know by now all this happened in 13,14 and 15. don't you get tried of repeating things. how about you write only about the things you actully care about in your life and stop wasting your time ''insulting him and his fans repeatedly? I don't understand what happiness that will bring you
lmao! these minoz are really something, my level of dislike on whaeva LMH up several notches after reading above comments. Koala can write anything she wants because this is her blog. If you dont like dont force yourself to read it. geez.
Hope you use your time on something good then take care of yourself in the future but just don't bother us after this
+1000
Are the lee min ho fans comments for real or is it a sarcastic parody thing? If not LMAO!!!! WOW!!!!
