This will definitely be a much discussed casting but I think it’s one of the more probably combinations considering the popularity of both. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are confirmed for the upcoming rom-com drama Convenience Store Morning Star, based on a webtoon and jointly financed by US channel Lifetime in its first K-drama production. Ji Chang Wook is the awkward convenience store boss with Kim Yoo Jung as the weird and odd tempered clerk. Both are coming off low rated last dramas, hers with Clean With Passion for Now and his in Melt Me Softly, so a hit would be greatly welcomed I’m sure and totally possible as long as the story and directing is good.
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…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

Disgusting casting and webtoon. Trash drama.
Exactly the webtoon itself is bad and filled with explicit scenes made to feed a male fantasy and has no plot. Why just why?
You said it! People commenting about the age gap is necessary for the webtoon haven't even looked at the source material other wise they'd be more outrage! There's an entire scene of him jerking off to her clevage! Wuuut! Not only that this is on some random cable channel which has no rules or prohibitions on censorship!
@moot You’re really pathetic and Mz Koala why are you allowing these clowns leverage to post like this? The damn webtoon will be modified and definitely toned down for the screen so what’s with all the dramatics? Gosh keep it tame for the readers here. Is that too much to ask for?
Who said it'll be modified? SBS wouldn't have kicked it off if they were planning to modify it. You must think you're the only sensible person and everyone else is just making stuff up. Go online to see what knets are saying. There isn't a single positive comment from them.
@Truth Do I look like I give a toss about Knetz and their opinion? I want to see a drama with KYJ and guess what my good fortune JCW signed up too so that’s a double whammy early Christmas pressie for me! It’s SBS and a reliable Director even better after seeing Punch, Whisper and starting The Fiery Priest I’m keen as. Soompi and K Pop commentators are genuinely positive too only exception is here on KP where all the trolls and their wart hog personas start stampeding against KYJ. Keep it up your curiosity of this drama will get the better of you.
No surprise about the negative comments, even if the drama will be obviously toned down for TV, it will start out with negative press and PR because of the source material. Korea’s misogynistic, male fantasy webtoons have such a bad rep online and not just in Korea. they are just terrible across the board.
This is the only sensible thread on this post.
this drama will surely be a hit. this will get more than double digit ratings. dramas shown in SBS usually get high vieweship ratings. thats why SBS is eagerly colaborating with lifetime channel.
She has midas touch. she excels in everything that she does. she is the best actress of her generation.
Watch out, JCW And KYJ bts in youtube will also get million views. thats how popular KJY is.
Trash webtoon with a sick plot. Rating will be less than 1%, and may even be double digits starts with 0 and with a decimal point in between. LOL.
Oh my goodness this cannot be the webtoon I’m thinking about...what were these 2 thinking?! Especially JCW with his very close proximity to a recent scandal...and KYJ...don’t even know where to start....wow even if it was a basic romance drama I would not be into their pairing but this is so much worse!
Booooobsss only
He's gonna have a great time groping those watermelons!!!!
You guys r disgusting mocking women body. You must be virgins because no women is intersted in you
JCW could do much better ?♀️
I think the fans who accept this pair are even weirder than the people who cast them. I get you want to support them in whatever they do but this cast is seriously wrong and so so so bad.
@strawberry Yep that’s me I’m weird as so what’s your problem? Glad KYJ and JCW can ‘act’ in a ‘drama’ together aye it’s all confirmed and if you’re beef is because of the age difference then you must be living under Mt Everest. Get with the times you’re infatuated under that guise of so called dislike geez do you know what acting is?
I wholly support you Ginger Crunch. What's wrong with all the big gap age haters? Are you all selectively blind? Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bo Ra has a 17 year age gap in romantic drana Touch drama airing now. He is 41 while she's 24. Have people also forgotten that Yoon Sang-Hyun (b.1973) as second male lead in Shopaholic Louis is 22 years older than former child actress Nam Ji Hyun (b.1995)? His character was in love with Nam Ji Hyun's Go Bok-Shil. Don't forget too that Ha Ji Won is 13 years older than Kang Min Hyuk in Hospital Ship. So that does that make her a female paedophile, you idiots? It's acting. I haven't seen any of KYJ's dramas so I am going in with a fresh pair of eyes. I will watch the drama now just to see what's the fuss about.
Her sane fans already left the fandom after her last drama. The only ones left are the blind delulus who don't want to admit that this is problematic.
@mionele Nope haven’t left still a fan and even a bigger delulu. Wanna join my club?
agree
@Bb @Kimmy piss of seriously if that’s all you can manage. Why do you have to sexualise her like that? And I hope Koala removes your posts because you 2 are definitely 2 sandiwiches short of a fricken farm yard picnic.
I like the cast. Both are legal age so its fine with me. I had issues with love in moonlight bcoz she was a kid back then.
Anyways i want this to be hit for hoth. Especially ji chang wook. He deserves it
Is she trying to build a sex kitten image for herself?? Her team obviously hates her. Every single person on naver told her to turn in down but they still went through with it.
@Blaze Yeah sex kitten guess that’s a compliment where I stand. KYJ is a chameleon and her character for this drama is touted as 4 dimensional so that’s got to be exciting. KJY was selected as the promotional model for AFK Arena check out her look there she’s definitely rocking the sex kitten vibe you crave for.
This is sidus what did you expect. They only care about their golden goose Kim Hyeyoon and Jo Boah.
Whats wrong with sex kitten image? Kim hye soo a top actresa has that image too . She is actress and can build any image she wants. Actresses do nude scenes too if demand of script asks for it. Not big deal
Thank you @adyjunjihyun you’re about the only one offering support on this post but anyway off topic have you read of any news on our gorgeous JunJiHyun and her casting in ‘Kingdom’ Season2?
People here have issues with age gap but i dont. Actors r of legal age n noone forced gun on their heads. And frankly A list male leads are always in 30s n 40s compared to female stars. Hence the age gap and big projects will have top most stars
Both need a hit drama.
Regarding jjh no. She just appears for events n cfs. She had hotel del luna offered but she refused . Sigh! Alien movie from thieves director and her agency said they are looking but not confirmed. Never heard about it again.so dont know about that she has 2 hit movies with same director who is friends with her and btw with over 12 million movie viewrs went to theatre for each movie. She is highest paid movie actress so her comeback will be epic. Now rumors r about kingdom2 and 3. But jjh has yet to confirm. I mean i would enjoy my life too when i earn over million dollars per cf and shoot 15 to 20 cfs even on hiatus. I hope she doesnt becomes another lee young ae who didnt do drama for 12 years bcoz she also had lot of cf money. Thats lot of money lol. But i wish she makes comeback fast
Oh thank you @adyjijunhyun for the update because I read way back she filmed the last episode for Kingdom 2 but that was it. Nothing else but because she’s one of my all time favourites any news is good news.
To all the KYJ anti fans who use this forum to drop your anti KYJ sentiment
Yeah too true I’m a KYJ ‘delulu’ too except the difference is I know what I like and KJY is definitely an actress with clout and a helluva lot of talent pity the majority of you posting your so called opinion borderline dislike here are so obvious you’re anti fans from Year dot either that or terribly insecure. If you don’t like her personally or her acting fair enough but your reasons are shamefully shallow and it’s obvious so be honest and say why instead of taking pitiful potshots because I’m gonna keep calling you out. Oh and another thing if you’re constantly changing your username don’t you get bored writing the same muck under a different alias?
Right..these are bunch of insecure fans.
U dont have to explain yourself to anyone. I hope this drama becomes hit for her
will it be a hit?????????????.
@JCW111
yes. because KJY is a very popular young actress. she has a large fan base. Expect that the viewership rating for this drama with JCW is more than double digits. Regardless of the plot, story line, her popularity alone can make this drama successful.
More than double digits? You sure know how to exaggerate. Do you know what rating KYJ got in her last drama Clean with Passion?
Ji Chang wook badly needs Kim Yoo Jung to recover from MMS poor ratings. He needs somebody like her, who is very good at acting. at 20, Kim Yoo Jung's acting is at par or even better with the seasoned Korean actresses. Lucky JCW, he will have a chance to work with KYJ in this project. their chemistty would be exceptional, because KYJ is the chemistry queen
I still don't get how so cheap comments people think about her.
This shows how your thinking is ,you people.
Such disgusting comments !!!
