Song Hye Kyo Offered Female Lead in K-drama Boyfriend Opposite Park Bo Gum

HOLY %^&*#*! Sorry for the screaming but this is legit unreal even as a potential casting rumor. K-ent is reporting that Song Hye Kyo is considering the female lead role in upcoming romance K-drama Boyfriend which will likely star Park Bo Gum. Let’s all take a step back and consider that any potential K-drama that even remotely may star Song Hye Kyo gets publicity up the wazoo, and now double that with the news she may work with real life husband Song Joong Ki‘s very good friend and protege Park Bo Gum. I mean, Bo Gummie sang at her wedding! I don’t have a problem with them working together due to any real life awkwardness, everyone is an acting pro, it’s just way weird considering visually I do NOT see them together even as a fictional drama couple. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but we’ll see in the coming weeks if this casting gets confirmed.

If Song Hye Kyo accepts she will be playing the role of the daughter of a congressman who married into a chaebol family due to her background. She had a child and then gets divorced, and is trying to find her way through life ahead. Boyfriend captures the story behind a woman who seems to have it all and a man to seems to have nothing at all, and yet they seem to go through every day the same way. The drama is from the screenwriter of Pretty Boy and Entertainer, and is set for airing in the second half of 2018.

  • This is another couple drama producers are insisting to pair together lol. Both have been offered Temperature of Love before. It'll be interesting to see if they would accept this drama, considering the writer doesn't have a very good track record.

  • That writer is not good.... SHK should pick a movie with international awards potential instead of another rom-com which won't lead her anywhere... not a very smart move if she accepts this ?

      • This article says "upcoming romance K-drama Boyfriend"... I guess it will be a rom-com by reading the above description. Pure romance will make me sick by watching these two doing a "pretty noona" makeout session... cough cough...

  • Yeah why not song hye kyo make revenge cause her husband acting with kim ji won. If jun ji hyun can acting with kim soo hyun and lee min ho, why not her?

  • Gosh Gum on! No way that pairing is just so left field. I might be new to K drama land but even I know that mix is out of it! SHK is a legend and PBG is ahh umm (scratching my head). This is another Pretty Noona part 2 in the making. It spells awkward. Okay I’ll have PBG paired with Suzy any day. K producers are so unpredictable- what next Jung Woo Sung and Joy? No no no I take that back it might just happen.

  • I think acting and visual wise the pairing will work fine, but the screenwriter really has a bad track records. I dropped both Entertainer and Pretty Boy despite liking the cast.

  • I’m reluctant to believe in these high profile castings now. It seems like Kdramas want as much buzz as possible for their dramas and then for the potential leads to deny/reject the roles, just for unknowns to get them afterwards. This happened for Come and Hug me. I will believe the castings when the actors turn up for filming instead.

  • You can just forget the story/the writer/the age gap or whatever... You'll just watch it for the lovey dovey romance-skinship between them ?

  • Nope. No. Only if PBG is the brother or second lead. Song Hye Kyo's level is so much higher. And the writer of Entertainer is a downgrade.

      • I mean, S-list or not, Koreans did not criticize Park Bogum for being (potentially) paired with her, so they obviously consider PBG and SHK almost the same level. It's ifans I see who are looking down on PBG.

      • then I feel very sorry for SHK who has worked for 20 years and being viewed by the Koreans at the same level as PBG who has only debuted for less than 8?! Is this for real??... No one looks down on PBG. But I think the Koreans are looking down on SHK. Ridiculous!

      • I think when Korean actresses get old, people start to randomly throw leading men at them.
        Look at Kim Hee-sun, a legendary actress, but her leading man is Kim Youngkwang, a B-list actor.
        And also Son Ye-jin, her leading man is someone that is taking on a lead role for a first time.
        At least Song Hyekyo is paired with people like Song Joongki and Park Bogum, who has had successful projects and widespread fame.

        Whereas leading men their status and age are paired with actresses much younger than them.

      • Kim Hee Sun and Seo Ye Jin are paired with newbies because the producer has confidence that they can carry a drama on their own. That means both actresses have commercially value even just being on their own.

        I could only shake my head their labelling this so called S tier B lister A lister. FYI, you know when an actor has massive commercial value when he or she is the only one who is a big gun in the drama. If an actor or actress who you think is an A-lister or S tier yet still paired with another popular actor, that means both actors don’t have significant commercial value.

    • Higher in terms of status? Sure, she is.
      But in terms of acting skills, I don't think PBG is below SHK.
