Park Min Young and Song Kang Showcase Sweet Romantic Gestures in First Teaser Previews for jTBC Drama Weather People

First off, I hate this new English title for the jTBC drama Office Romance Cruelty. I didn’t like the Korean title either but Weather People is way worse, I’m half expecting the characters to have weather related superpowers or turn into a weather horror drama ala Cat People and Lizard People. But Weather People it is but despite the whole setting in a meteorological association with a bunch of weather nerds the first teasers who zero weather related anything. It’s just two short scenes with leads Park Min Young and Song Kang being sweetly romantic with each other. In one he lightly holds her hand and the other he follows her at night and we see her smiling in both so clearly she’s not finding his overtures unwanted. The two teasers are too short to give me any substantive impressions but this pairing isn’t as naturally intuitive to me and I don’t find either visually as compatible together as each is with other prior costars in romantic dramas.

  • It is JARRING!!! He feels like her very much younger brother, and the styling doesn't help. He looks even younger in this hair style than he did as Sun Oh in Love Alarm. *facepalm*. Was looking forward to this but now not so much.

  • Song Kang isn't the best of actors but ohmygod does he look like he wants to run away from her immediately! The acting couldn't be more fake! And who gave him that mop of a hairstyle! Fire his stylists immediately!

  • I'm bored with park min young. She really does need to do better. All of her bloody shows regardless of genre has had love lines. Yawn.
    No comment on Song Kang.

  • Park Min Young and Yoo Inna give the same feeling
    Park Min Young isn’t a bad actresz but her roles in dramas always overlap with each other
    she never show anything new other than being pretty on screen
    It’s another typical love story again and again with her again yawn

    • PMY is so good in these office romance roles and she manages to have great chemistry with everyone but still. I wish she would do something different.

    • She is going the SHK-route, same female character with just different jobs for all their dramas and characters who needs to maintain the prettiness.

      • Yes except PMY is utterly charming in these roles. She is drawn to cheerful and perky characters whereas SHK likes cold and distant types. The latter is harder to watch!

    • I thought I was the only one who felt they gave similar vibes. They both are also afraid to look "ugly" on screen. Yoo Inna barely does dramas as lead nowadays, but Park Min Young definitely needs to step out of her comfort zone of romance dramas. Other actresses in her age range have already started doing so, when will she?

      • I have to agree. One thing that bothers me about PMY is that, she always look the same no matter which roles she acted on and these past few years, it was more obvious. Always all that doll like look

  • JTBC will begin every year with a noona-office romance? :p

    I like PMY and she always has a great chemistry with her partner. When the Weather Will Be Fine was really great and very different from her past works. But it's still a love story.

    Song Kang is kinda bland for me. I don't really care about his characters...

    I will try it and otherwise, I will rewatch She Would Never Know.

  • It's giving aunt and nephew. Can kdrama producers stop casting older women with young male leads in romance while writing cheating plots for age-appropriate older couples? It's become ridiculous. None of these noona-romance pairs ever had particularly great chemistry anyway, this one will flop too. Delusional shipper agendas never come true either because actresses are paired with significantly younger men. Kdramas need to put an end to this trend already.

    • The age gap is not the issue since seo kang joon who was park min young's last partner is the same age as song kang. In the drama their characters were the same age though.There's also couples with larger age gaps that worked such as lee da hee and lee jae wook. Song kang just has a baby face that's the problem lol.

    • I agree she looks older than him but he does not look like her nephew. They are only 8 years apart! How many aunt and nephews have an 8 year age difference?

  • I like Park Min Young but hate noona romances and am pretty meh about Song Kang. He really needed to spend more time in supporting roles or at least more ensemble dramas. His agency isn't doing him any favors. This is going to flop.

  • Sorry but this OTP just doesn't work for me. Have nothing personal against PMY and SK. In fact I adore PMY in City Hunter, Healer, WWWSK & Private Lives. ML having a baby face & high school hairstyle make things worse. PMY should have done more challenging genres earlier but sadly I think that ship has sailed. The competition now is stiff as younger in demand actresses like Han So Hee and Jung Ho Yeon are scoring gritty Netflix roles. JHY in fact made history as the first solo Asian act to grace the cover of US Vogue magazine. Even JJH didn't score this honor but she was the first K-actress to be featured in a US Vogue photo shoot in 2011 but not the cover (sources: soompi jan 7 2022, mar 22 2011).

    • She's moved agency now probably for the reason they given her stale roles. Hopefully with the new agency she can secure more diverse roles.

      • Her new agency better act fast as she's already 37 in korean age, 36 biological age in mar 2022. She can go the way of Jang Nara in terms of versatility otherwise stagnation will set in which is a waste. She's not a bad actress and certainly not untalented.

      • Tbh, don't think the roles she had done was entirely the fault of her agency

        It was about whether there was a demand and offer for her for other roles as other actors under the agency had no problems getting different genre kind of roles.

        It could also be her choice because to be very honest, she sells with this type of roles but not much with other genre. Ratings speak for itself

  • The second teaser looks very much like an older sister walking a much younger brother (with a back pack) home from school.
