There’s been so much blowback on the source material webtoon that will be adapted into the K-drama Convenience Store Morning Star (Convenience Store Saet Byul) that I curiously glanced and it and erm it’s totally not my tea. Hopefully the adaptation will take merely the set up and remove all the sleazy stuff otherwise it’ll come across as perverted ahjusshi and big chested college girl icky romance. Leads Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung will be joined by Han Sun Hwa playing Ji Chang Wook’s girlfriend in the story, and it reads like the token second female lead role where she gets her man stolen except they probably were never all that serious to begin with. I’m concerned this isn’t the right project for all involved but will maintain a healthy sense of optimism.
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…

If at all this trash drama has a loveline it should be between JCW and HSH. Rest of the characters should be thrown away.
@Helen Pfft ain’t gonna happen sorry about it. Try again.
KYJ and JCW are visually compatible. KYJ is the best female lead that JCW will ever have. Watch out for this drama, for this will surely be a Hit. you will all be surprised. it will HIGH viewership rating. and they will get lots of CF deals and magazine photoshoots after this drama
Yeah because at least they are visually compatible unlike that baby child big chested girl they cast who can barely act in adult roles.
@Ben And we have a winner; yeah you’re continuation from previous KYJ articles and presence here is unfailingly obvious and your obsession with her chest is astounding. Can always tell the bitter ones on KYJ articles can’t keep it about the topic just have to make it personal. I can’t hold you to fault though since Koala did mention it first ‘big chested college girl’ so I guess you’re justified in following on from that. Please do watch the drama though to see for yourself.
If you dislike the webtoon for the explicit content that’s your opinion however can you please read up on the developments to date and the changes before passing judgment and also if you are a Kim Yoo Jung anti then disliking this drama and her is again your opinion but I’m letting you know that posting here to say otherwise is just sour grapes clear as a summer’s day. I can see your posts for what it is; so please don’t. As a fan of both please leave your egos at the door and respect those of us blessed with JCW and KYJ casting. Both are visually stunning and their pairing is a dream in the making. Sorry not sorry they have just had their first drama script reading and it’s on so your ‘itch’ ain’t going away. Relieve yourself cos filming starts April/May premiere is in June catch you then. ❤️
Chill. The post is all about the webtoon if you bother to take time to check it out. The webtoon is trash and perverted. Judgment is on the source of the script not on the cast although one can tell how the big chested girl is casted. As much as you are supporting the leads here, posting about the webtoon is not inappropriate. I have great reservation about the plot. Why adapt from a webtoon? It might be easier to write an original script.
@dramafan I guess adaptations from webtoons are a source of providing entertainment for the screen so why not. And your judgement call that the webtoon is trash and perverted so what’s that saying about the millions that have subscribed to it. My reaction was to Helen and I yes I have read the post so I responded accordingly. No need to chill at all it’s read and reply.
Your post was not tagged as a reply to Helen. I interpreted it as a direct rebuttal to the blogger's post which from what I read does not pass any judgment on the two leads whom you adore.
@dramafan Excuse me? Sorry but your interpretation is off. I read Helen’s reply and that’s what I based my response on. Just because I didn’t tag her I’ll remember that for future reference as to not cause confusion.
Ginger crunch,.. don't mind the bashers,,, they are jealous and insecure about KYJ natural and beautiful figure ,,, because you know they might be a flat chested.. he he he.peace to them.?????
@Rowena Too true you can guarantee that every KYJ article there is commentary on her chest without fail. It’s like the anti’s can’t find anything else to attack her on so it’s better to body shame instead. I’m all good I’ve posted on previous articles for any smart alec KYJ post I’ll be there to respond.
Rowena. Stop your body shaming nonsense. Read the webtoon first. Ginger Crunch. I can excuse you. By not tagging Helen, I was confused. I don’t mean to bash anyone. I just mean to defend the blogger because I cannot read anything wrong in the article. Rowena. There is no point telling GC not to mind the bashers because clearly she does and she will not stop.
.I dont personally like this because as a fan of JCW as just would like him to choose good dramas. we beileve that this is not a good project for him.
Surely, JCW and KYJ will be honored as the back to back King and Queen of Flop Dramas.
waaaaaaaaaaaah
Dont forget this drama will be shown in SBS so the content will be tone down for public viewing. I cant wait for the show
Is Lifetime under SBS?
No...abs is it own entity...
But i have read in asianwiki it will be in lifetime network?
It’s with both SBS and Lifetime (KYJ is contracted to LT) from what I’ve read. So with SBS I guess the content will be quite tame.
Hope Kim Yoo Jung can help him be relevant in his own country lmao. Most hallyu actors have at least one ratings hit in in SK. He's the exception. Express Ki doesn't count because he isn't the male lead.
*Empress
Lol. I think KYJ also needs JCW because LITM does not count as her hit drama because 99% of people associate it with PBG.
Its not at all true that 99 percent think of liml as PBGs hit drama alone.
Obviously since females watch all these dramas in much more higher numbers male stars tend to get more attention, praise, more credit for success etc...and some fans tend to develop sort of jealousy towards female leads because of possessiveness over male stars and hence try to take away the credit from the female stars.
but KYJ did super good job .To think she was just 17 and she showed so many different facets of her character so well in the drama.its amazing.
They're both flops in their own way. They need strong co stars.
this will surely be a hit. kim yoo jung is the best actress of her generation. this will get more than 10% viewership ratings. thats for sure. JCW is so lucky to partner with sexy kim yoo jung.
Lucky to get 5%.
Its true, JCW was second male lead in Empress Ki, and didnt have any hit drama. But he's still a great actor
He might not have been a lead but it's not a doubt that he a powerhouse when it comes to his acting....... BT healer and k2 can count....
Ever heard of Warrior Baek Dong Soo or even Smile, Dong Hae? He was the lead and both were rating hits. And for your information, I never considered him the second lead in Empress Ki, it was more of a co-male leads thing than anything else. Ha Ji Won was the star of this drama and her character loved both men. Plus JCW's character (Toghon Temur) truly existed and he was really married to her. JJM's character (Wang Yu) was a fictional character and was loosely based on a sleazy King of Koryeo.
agree with you :)
the story isnt my cup of tea, but let see cuz i like the lead
I hope this drama will be a hit so it can compensate the damage caused by CWPFN to KYJ and KYJ can catch up with KSH because LA Season 2 is definitely a hit.
Why does she need to catch up with KSH?
Both have their own journey.
Let them take it their own way.
Coz we all know that KSH is more popular than KYJ now especially the effects of LA, TTON, and CWPFN in their careers. Those KSH's dramas made good to her while those KYJ drama put her down.
@Jaja Not going even to debate you because as a true KYJ fan I wouldn’t want to drag KSH for the sake of trying to one up you. Nope your insecurity is glaringly obvious as I pointed this out below. KSH is doing exceptionally well and has hit dramas so good on her and her popularity is at a all time high. If you keep wanting to compare the two you’re the one that’s making yourself look desperate.
I'm a hard core KYJ fan, and I don't wanna see my quee being overthrown by someone who used to be a second fiddle queen wannabe. It's painful to see that KYJ is not glorified anymore. Instead, she has a lot of haters now because of that girl rival.
@jaja - just because of fan like you who always bring up KSH, you are setting up the rivalry and doomed for FAILURE! Fan war is the worst. KYJ will forever sit next to a Queen (regardless of who that person is) if those bitter and insecure fan like you continues to bring up KSH and compare with KYJ.
And that current queen right now is KSH. I can't accept it. I am used to seeing KYJ as the no.1 young actress and KSH as the second rate trying hard copy cat.
I accept KSH is in a more favorable position than KYJ now. KSH has more dramas and most are better dramas. KSH shines. KYJ lags behind a little bit for now but she may catch up. Why are you so worried? They are both young and have lots of time. Don't call KSH the "second rate trying hard copy cat" because KYJ is now the "third rate trying hard copy rat". KYJ has one flop and has not really carried any drama. She can act but so can a lot of young actresses. You eat what you sow. @jaja - You are trying too hard here and it sucks!!
STOP bringing KSH into a KYJ article!!
viewership ratings will beat CLOY, DOTS and itaewon class . thats the power of my queen Kim yoo jung and my king Ji chang wook. the next reel power couple in the korean industry.
@Jaja Why is it that it takes a special kind of person to always want to drop KSH name into a KYJ article. That’s you Jaja. Okay I get it; you want relevance and to remind everyone but we’re on your side no need to fret. Both are doing extremely well but your insecurities are loud and clear.
@jaja
That’s horrid. No one is a second fiddle to anyone. K world is large enough to have resources and projects for both amazing actresses.
Every actor/actress have slumps. They go up and down. It’s terrible to wish something bad on someone else due to jealousy.
Based on some sources, KSH left Sidus because of that rivalry with KYJ which became really unhealthy. And I guess it is good move because as you can see right now,she has back to back hits and looks extremely happy. I know we cannot stop this competition. It will be there for eternity. All I wish is that these girls become successful actresses like Jun Ji Hyun and Song Hye Kyo.
KSH is a better and prettier actress than KyJ. KSH receives lots of good acting offers. while KYH only receives offers like This thrash drama.
viewership rating will beat CLOY. because of the female lead, KYJ. she is so popular in south korea.
*sbs
I wish Kim Yoo Jung would pick better dramas...this drama has cringe written all over it. Even if they tone the explicit, disturbing content, its not a good story at all.
I really don't understand what they both see in the webtoon that made both so Adamant about signing up for the project in the first place? It's not like any of the actors worked with the director or writer before so they signed up due to friendship and have trust on them.
I'm hoping that maybe the scripts are that amazing (?) so that both actors decided to commit despite public dismay?
they perhaps altered the story so much that maybe only the names of the characters and the location is the only thing kept in the show? LOL
They're both so charismatic and look so good together. Is it too late for them to find a different project to team up?
lack of good offers? they dont good acting offers?
i think they relied on the pd because pd has influence on a good rating, so they want to have a good rating for their drama. that's why they agreed to act on this. after all.. i think they knew sbs gonna take this drama and air it in friday and Saturday slot. most of this sbs fri and sat slot has a high rating. i think that is the biggeeeeest reason why they accepted it even knowing that the webtoon is super trash
