I legit let out a high pitched yelp when I saw this casting combo floated over the news. K-ent is reporting that Hyun Bin has received the offer to be the male lead of upcoming SBS drama Yeowoo Gaksibyeo (translates to Fox Bride Star). Last week the production announced that it was courting Park Shin Hye to be the female lead and currently both top stars are still considering the offers and neither has confirmed. But even the possibility (!!!) is so exciting and I am a billion percent behind it, I love the excitement that comes with stars I love getting a drama together and really does juice up the increasingly humdrum K-drama scene. Please accept Binnie, don’t let the epic failure of Hyde, Jekyll, Me still haunt you, even Gong Yoo came back to slay with Goblin after Big. And if both confirm then it’s going to be the K-drama to look forward to in 2018 thus far.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

A fresh pairing, I'm all for it!
Woah what a surprising pairing! But I'm all for it!
So true, so far nothing has peaked by interest in Kdramas this year until this pairing came along. If it does become reality then, PSH will be working with her university sunbae again and I will greatly anticipate it!
as long not about poor people vs chaebol,ceo,halyu star,crazy mother,or lawyer vs press.
i think dark romance theme like it's okay that love not much in kdrama.
It is unfortunately about poor people vs chaebol. According to dramabeans, the summary is:
Hyun Bin's potential character is a genius advertising executive who has risen to the top, but in his life's best moment, he suffers the worst accident.Park Shin Hye's character is of a 27 year old woman whose father died nine years ago, while saving another person's life, leaving her all alone in this world.She is left alone to figure out how to get by in this world, made tougher when she loses both her compensation and support funding.But when she meets our hero, they start to heal each other's pain and change for the better.
You can see why they are courting Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye for this.Both had mega- successful dramas(Heirs, Secret Garden) playing similar roles like this on SBS. Its an SBS drama.Maybe they are hoping for another hit like that.I dont trust the PD as well.He is the one who directed A Gentleman's Dignity, Gu Family Book and Secret Garden.They were all successful ratings wise, but he makes the character's personalities, either extremely arrogant or too passive.The silver lining though is that, the writer is the one who did Romantic Doctor Kim.I didnt watch that drama, but it had good reviews. So there is hope.
Yeah, can they make it without chaebol-candy type melo healing drama?
How good it is if the relationship between the female and male leads and their characters like the OTP of Just Between Lovers. Sorry to mention this drama, but this is my type of melodrama.
beautiful pairing! I am all for it :-)
As long as the plot is fine. Otherwise both of them should stay doing movies. Hyun Bin is finally getting on track and I bet he is traumatized by dramas right now. I also have a feeling that PSH is really carefully thinking her next choice because people started having high expectations of her after Doctors and its high ratings.
Dramas are no good. Especially for PSH, just attracts more haters. She should build up her career reputation in films so she wouldn’t get so much dumb hate from dumber i-fans. And lmao, dramabeans commenters already hating on PSH and then some commenters there naming me and blaming me of being hateful when I, as a non-fan, have been way nicer to PSH (and some other actresses with certain amounts of haters) than these dramabeans beanies.
unfortunately, you are the worst hater I have ever met hands down. prop to you for being the best lol.
hahaha... i read it too "suzyautumn"... LOL... @amy- there are a lot more idiotic hater beanies in DB, have you read through those zillions comments? same talk without any critical thinking... I believe here is better :-)
haha yeah wtf suzyautumn.. they haven’t read enough of my comments then :)
I’m kinda flattered to be honest
Don't bother. I think you have been pretty fair in giving comments except a teeny bit harsh towards Lee Jong Seok. LOL. Some could hardly differentiate between constructive criticism and hate comments but that's understandable esp when your bias is concerned.
I thought Namgoong Min would be perfect for this role. I am not a fan of this writer's works and not a fan of either PSH or Hyun Bin, so I am totally fine with whatever the castings turn out to be.
If there is a drama in 2018 that I am so looking forward to...it will be "The Dream in Alhambra" from the writer of Queen Inhyun's man. I know W was a mess that I dropped it halfway but at least she is one of the few writers who could come up with something fresh.
I liked Queen Inhyun’s man too and I agree that at some point W started losing its steam. I’m not fan of either of them but I like this writer, I thought RDTK was good. But the synopsis of this drama sounds like it either could be great or very boring. Depends on how the director and actors will work with this script.
Sorry to chime in here, to be honest, I'm one of koala's reader who think that sometimes you are pretty harsh on your critics toward actors/actreeses. But I dont count you as PSH's haters, I feel your genuine concerns towards her even if you are not her fan. Your comments are straight and without any shades. You are pretty famous now, that your name was mention on DB. Heee.
And for the casting, I'm dumbfounded that some people dislike PSH being casted here and say, "Please, no PSH!", while actually she is the first to be offered the role that Hyunbin. It happened too when Kim Raewon was casted, when he was the second next to Shinhye to be offered the role. I know, many don't like her acting and I don't blame them, but can they check that fact first before commenting and naming her?
I think she just gave an advice?i also dont find her like shin hye hater.
Nah it always happen to her,they can skip this drama if they want.
but they choose to enjoy hating on her,and both are not confirm it yet,they just make theirself look like a dumb
Thanks! Even though I’m not a fan, I find that those comments such as ’’please no psh’’, ’’she is not on par in acting’’, ’’she’s not on hyun bin level’’ or ’’she can’t kiss’’ are ridiculous. Those people said the same thing before Doctors but that drama became a ratings hit and created a girl crush syndrome lol. Still, people on dramabeans are saying that all credit goes to KRW or that Doctors was really bad. Like wtf? If they’re going to hate, then they should pick one narrative and follow that. I think it’s just a case of dumb and jealous fangirls who don’t want to see their oppa with certain actresses.
Hmmmmm I’m ambivalent about this pairing. I’ve only ever enjoyed Hyun Bin in Secret Garden and while I was mesmerized by him at the time, I credit Ha Ji Won more for their onscreen chemistry than him. I wonder if this drama will be enough to tempt him back to dramaland. Maybe their vibe together will be similar to Park Shin Hye-Kim Rae Won’s.
Yeah I am thinking the same , it would be very much like PSH-KRW pairing. I would rather PSH pair up with LJS type in terms of age and acting style.
No more flower boy type please. PSH need a more mature or veteran actor to work with. She's in another level.
@agree with LL, flowerboys and their fans attract more hate to her. It’s time for PSH to act with mature actors. LJS is 1000 times better with veteran older actresses than younger actresses.
Most of the actors close to her age are serving right now. I too liked the chemistry of LJS and PSH in Pinocchio. Hope to see her with Kim Soohyun or Park Seojoon one day :)
LJS-types are not beneficial to her career at this point.The way I see it, the majority of people wanting her to keep starring with these hallyu flowerboys. Do so, because they want to be shipping her with them after the dramas .Or maybe brag about her popularity or whatever.
But they need to wake up.Park Shin Hye is now a grown woman.The girl is fast approaching 30.She herself has said in her recent interviews, that she wants to be taken more seriously as an actress.She has done more than enough to establish herself as hallyu princess and in terms of popularity.The so called "old men" i mean the veteran and mature actors are better for her.
PSJ will be good, great actor, not flower boy type, done with military :-) Binnie is good too imho, just not sure if he will return to dramas since he is doing so well in movies... JIS is good as some has suggested, but again why return to dramas when he is doing well in movies?
Extremely surprised when I read news on twitter....I was just naming random actors that she could be paired with and he was one of them! It will be interesting how it will turn out. It would be advantageous for HB and also somewhat scary about whether it will be a success because of his last drama. I've always been a fan and think he is one of those manly man. As PSH fan, wishing for another good successful-drama, your fans are waiting ☺️
PSH is way way better than that HJM :-) thinking of that drama gives me nightmares, what a waste of Binnie's hardwork and talents!
Wow!!!an interesting pairing.Is this the start of a Kdrama revival?Last year was so boring.Mediocre scripts.Too many dramas of one of my least favourite genre(legal dramas).Good actors but uncharismatic couples for rom coms.I am ready for something fresh.
Hyun Bin is a good actor who has had a stroke of bad luck when picking drama projects.Park Shin Hye has midas touch.He needs a co star like her to make a strong comeback to kdramaland. Her projects rarely flop.I support Park Shin Hye working with solid, mature actors like Hyun Bin.That will help her gain more credibility, and develop her more as an actress.Its a win win for both of them. I support this.
Another healing drama, it’s the trend these days. I’m not keen with this pairing. Anyway, I hope hyun bin picks the right project this time as his last was terrible.
