Yoona Cast as Lee Jong Seok’s Leading Lady in Legal Drama Big Mouth

Woah, I wasn’t expecting a leading lady casting this quickly and also did not expect this particular one. Yoona will be joining Lee Jong Seok in the upcoming legal drama Big Mouth, which will be the first time they are working together and probably about time. Both are top of the small list of drama leads in their age group and this pairing will definitely generate buzz. Lee Jong Seok plays the titular Big Mouth, a lawyer with just a 10% success rate who only knows how to run his mouth, but suddenly finds his life and legal practice thrust into a mysterious conspiracy when he takes on a murder case. Yoona will be playing his wife who isn’t just a flower vase but a former capable model with class who gradually turns into a brazen woman with plenty of curse words. The drama is from the PD of While You Were Sleeping and Start-up, with the script by the screenwriter of Empress Ki. The drama is slated for end of 2021 on tvN.

  • Woah it's about time! They are close friends since pre-debut, so hopefully this translates well to their on-screen chemistry.

    I always trust LJS, and Yoona plays brazen type so much better than candy roles. It looks promising so far.

  • I have watched almost every kdrama of ljs except probably While you were sleeping..The reason being the fl..Seems like the same thing is going to happen again ..☹️..
    On the other hand ...i was hoping for a ljs and shs re-union..The hymn of the death was so good.

  • She hasn't given a hit drama in ages and mostly play side roles in movies opposite top A listers. And her botox is so clear these days. Flop actress

  • Tbh, the character descriptions don't suit them at all. That said, not like my opinion matters.

  • Has her acting gotten better? I only saw her in one drama (with Ji Chang Wook) and she was not great. Not horrible, but mediocre at best. It’s been a while since then though.

  • This drama will be flop for sure.Look at park bo young and so in guk drama only get 3-4% rating.Ok next.

    • Are you an alter ego of Joane by any chance? You should like her and I haven’t seen her in a while ?

    • I'm sorry? Since when did 3-4% translate to a flop for a cable drama??? Its doing pretty good, thank u.

    • The storytelling is a bit wonky to me so far. If writing keeps going south, it's such a waste of all 5 leads' talents. So much potential but hopefully the writer & PD can add more plot to the script to keep it interesting. I love the cast to bits but fantasy romance is such a tricky genre to navigate. Sigh.

  • At least he's not playing a sad/tortured genius yet again this time lol.

    I can actually see this pairing working well, Yoona has a charming and natural presence when she's in romcoms and she's good at comedy even in her earlier dramas. If they're not awkward together, they could have really good chemistry (other than Lee Boyoung, LJS' best chemistry has generally been with female leads who are close to him in age).

  • This sounds a little different from LJS’s bread and butter - which good for him. He usually plays the same character with a different name and different variation of geeeeenius that it’s a bit of an eye roll now. He’s never been my fav and neither has Yoona, but we’ll see. I felt the same about W and it turned out very well even if objectively, HHJ is a more capable actress.
