Unofficial Character Descriptions Provides First Look at the Plot of Missing You — 38 Comments

  1. For all kind of reasons, this project doesn’t interest me at all. BUT, I absolutely love those posters, more exactly the range of colors. The person who did them should be an interior designer.

  2. The char descriptions had me roll my eyes of the wtf-esque. Or maybe I’m too old for that kind of plot.

    What is up with Yoochun’s hair should be the only thought running through everyone’s mind. That is seriously a crime against Yoochun to do that to his head.
    How about getting in touch with Yoochun to be his legal advisor and sue the company in court to ask for compensation? 😀

    On a complete sidenote, DB mentionned that Running Man with MGY had an X-Man format with refs to YEH again. You must have had fun. In the meantime, I still am questioning whether I will watch Miss Rose‘s ep 12 which should be available in one hour approximatively. Feel like skipping it and go straight for the next episode without the whole fate / noble idiocy issue.

    • *deep sigh*

      The preview for ep 13 looks so promising with our dear Cheng Kuan going one step farther. Kyaaa! Can’t wait for your recap, Mrs Koala. 😀

  3. Eun Hye and Sun Ah are my favorite actresses (former, because she has such fabulous on-screen chemistry with her leading men and the latter, because she’s got acting chops galore). Yoochun was so endearing in Rooftop Prince and I’m hoping YEH/Y blow the roof off with their pairing. The pre-preparation shoddiness will hopefully not result in a mishmash.

    • Even I am going to pass…the character description was horrible and the plot sounds similar to will it snow for Christmas…besides nice guy airs at that time and even for yoochun I can’t stop watching nice guy!!sorry yoochun!!

  4. The only thing that interests me about this drama is YEH, the only plot point that sparked minimal interest for me was the fact the LSY apparently keeps running away from HJW, as in she doesn’t want him to find her… then it reminded me of Will it Snow for Christmas and an ominous shuddered pass through me….

    • Totally agree with you on that! For the story, YEH (which is the reason why I will check on the first ep) and will it snow for Christmas LOL.

  5. I am eagerly anticipating this drama! Please let it be good. I am now reduced! to watching just one show a week. Even I cannot believe it! The serious glut in good k-drama (or jo-dorama, or even chinese!) to watch has now affected me at a critical level. So I am hoping fervently for a worthy one to fawn and be addicted over.

    It so happens that I LOVE YEH and I like Yoochun enough. So regardless of the tired old tropes,I am definitely giving this a chance. AND… I really don’t mind the same ‘ole lines so long as… you’ve said it, the execution is fresh and effective.

  6. i really want to watch yoochun, but if chun jung myung become the second lead male, i’m so afraid that i can feel 2nd male syndrome again after SKKS.. and i think i will watch it in one go because i don’t think i can go in to melo again after NG make me addicted… and really miss YEH..

  7. I support I Miss You, especially after reading this:

    The reporter asked the question “Why did Yoon Eun Hye, who has made her mark in the genre of romcoms, melted in a conventional melodrama?” Representative of the drama said “Because she is an actress who has a different charm and refreshing” “Because our drama is unlike any other traditional melodramas, and we believe that is different from the other characters'” Although his character is very marked that there is a dark / depressing character. Yoon Eun Hye is an actress who has a special attraction and even causes a boyish charm that is why he chose. Another representative noted that the state of Yoon Eun Hye Hallyu and immense popularity abroad also played a role in their decision to integrate the cast. “your past dramas Goong, Coffee Prince and My Fair Lady, etc. have been sold abroad, receiving much attention and popularity has earned Yoon Eun Hye in great state Hallyu. Drama Rep stated that “once you publish news cast Yoon Eun Hye in the drama, not only have received much attention from fans overseas, we have really just as much or more interest overseas stations ‘

    Therefore I recommend you see it first and then judge him, maybe they are surprised.

  8. Thank you, Ms Koala.

    Can’t speak for my fandom, but as a Yoochun fan, I have never gotten the impression that you hate Yoochun. Your CJM post actually cracked me up. It’s alright that he is not your cup of tea, but I hope that he will win you over one day.^^^

    So far, although IMY reminds me of the Seasons Dramas. But in comparison, the main characters of IMY don’t appear to be too mopey. Agree about the triteness of the premise, but from what I have seen of his work in Thank You, I am cautiously optimistic that we might be getting something infinitely relatable and heartwarming.

    As for Yoochun’s hairstyle, it’s goofy-looking but does fit the description of a “Crazy Rabbit”. A nice change from his previous chaebol/Joseon-noble characters.

    • I hope so, too! ^___^ He seems like such a nice boy, and he was the highlight of the hot mess that was Rooftop Prince IMO. But strangely three dramas in a row and he still hasn’t clicked with me yet. But conversely I don’t dislike him at all, so neutral is never a bad thing.

  9. I will support YEH because she is, in my opinion, one of the finest actresses Korea has to offer. She does her country proud. So if she should happen to have a drama that isn’t off the charts, so what, I don’t actually care. Many of the great actors and actresses, in the past, had movies they weren’t happy with, so why is it we are looking for perfection from a young 26 year old? Watch the drama and if you don’t like it then stop watching and move on to another drama. That is all it takes, it is as easy as that to do.

    I actually like the looks of both of them and feel like they match quite well together. I hope they get along well and have at least a little fun, while filming this drama.

    One thing I hope for is this, that all the stars associated with the project are positive about it. If the ratings aren’t, at first, what they wish for, then I would only hope that the stars keep this to themselves, instead of speaking publicly about it. If you show the public your worried thoughts, the public will start doubting as well. Just my opinion.

  10. I’m actually quite worried now for Yoon Eun Hye since it seems like she got sick… She was supposed to start filming but had to go to the hospital instead due to pink eye/eye infection…. She’s been so busy and pushing herself lately that it isn’t surprising that she will get sick, especially since she already has health problems. From her recent events (fan meeting, charity events, designing UGG boots, the BIFF, and other things) this past week or so, she already looked sick. Guess it already took a toll on her body. Knowing her, she is not likely to slow down even if it is going to be painful.
    Here’s hoping for a speedy but well rested recovery.
    P.S. I am excited for this drama….!!

  11. Ah Chunnie. I guess its because I’ve been a fan for yeeeears that I no longer flinch at his hairstyles. I see it, but I do not feel it. :’)

    I’m excited for this~ Ah Lee Wan. I’m afraid he’ll eat chunnie up if he gets casted. He just came out of the army, and is now man…chunnie is just this cute lil squishy thing. Go Yoon Eun Hye, crossing my fingers that you’ll transform him into a man.

    I think its the roles Yoochun has picked that makes people doubt him (non-bias) like in SS his character was a stick in a mud, while Yoo ah in’s was a sex god. In miss Ripley he was that stupid love struck boy. And in rooftop, it was just all over the place.

  12. The character descriptions sound rather ticklish to me. Epicly described, “To find me you became a detective?” Funny enough that I couldn’t stop laughing.

    It’s not like I’m undermining this drama but the description itself just give me no faith in this drama. Still, it’s too early to speculate and jump into judgement.

    I think the first-love hangover love story is nothing fresh unless they can come out with some mystery with layers of depth that can be watched in a whole new perspective. And Yoo Chun leading a love story with that hairstyle, I have nothing to say that just sigh.

    Best of luck to Missing You, though.

  13. I was scratching my head when I read the descriptions. So he’s the one who looking for her, but I presume that he did something not-cool that separated them in their youth? Anyhow, I am a complete sucker for these first love stories. I am really unrealistic like that when it comes to dramas. The more the guy is head over heels in love with the girl, the better for me. So if that one is going that way, I’m sure I will love him just as much. I hope that there is at least some layer of mystery to this first love story.

    Fandom’s are interesting, that’s for sure. While I’m not in either of their fandom’s, I still really like YEH as an actor and I like YC as a singer, and do enjoy watching him onscreen even though i think he has quite some ways to go. I do hope this is good!! I can eagerly anticipating it. Please please scriptwriter… do not make the story to be all sorts of crazy. I want to love this one 🙂

    FIghting IMY! I hope Eun Hye feels better and can actually get the rest that she needs. Fighting YEH!

  14. whoever YEH is paired with there will definitely be chemistry, she knows how to use her craft that’s why she is an award winning actress and she can cry a river which melts my heart when i watch her.. let us just give them support and i really am positive that no matter how old or common the story is, it is how the actors deliver which is important.. It is not yet shown yet it has gained international popularity and being anticipated already…IMY ftw in rating!!!!

  15. I agree with you about Yoochun, Koala. I don’t dislike him but he hasn’t ever got me in the heart with one of his dramas. Maybe third time’s the charm?

    The drama synopsis has me rolling my eyes at the overwrought melodrama, but then I remember how turned off I was was by the Can You Hear My Heart synopsis (which was SO inaccurate) and that ended up being one of my favourite dramas last year. I have faith in this writer to give us something fresh despite the overdone and simplistic plot, and I’m hoping there’s more to the story than what we’ve got so far. It’s also nice that it seems our leads are ordinary people and not chaebols or geniuses. Or homeless, plucky and debt-ridden.

    Mostly I just hope that Yoon Eun-hye’s next project is a smashing success, because girl really deserves it!

  16. Have to say the description doesn’t sound like my cup of tea but if Lee Wan is cast i’ll jump on the bandwagon. I’m a fan(ish) of MYC and haven’t really liked YEH in anything since CP but i’m still optimistic that things will go well. Here’s hoping there’s a good subbing and recapping team.

  17. The best is to wait for the drama’s airing, watch it, give it a chance—meaning—see 2 to 3 episodes to decide—and then give our verdict.

    YEH deliberately chose this drama—not out of loyalty and friendship and hopefully no midway change in script which she has not agreed to, but honored, as what happened to Take care of My Lady—so I trust that she saw something good in the story.

  18. Honestly some fans are just too sensitive. I can understand why a lot of people are apprehensive about the drama, the production is calling it close when they’ve just secured their lead actress & have yet to announce who the supporting actor will be. The premise doesn’t sound exciting at all but I really want this drama to work since I’ll admit upfront I’m biased towards Yoon Eun Hye & want this to work out for her cause her drama’s post-Coffee Prince have been bad/horrible.
    This will be my first YooChun drama, so I’ll reserve judgment on his abilities when the show airs.

  19. Am i the only one who loved Character Descriptions?
    That is so romantic to see a man who devotes his life to find his love !
    After finding ,i wonder what else he is goona do to get her back …it seems like she wouldn’t have any plane to go through the same pain again!
    DO YOUR BEST Jung Woo-ah!

  20. I’m just really excited to see Yoon Eun Hye in a new drama. While I didn’t quite like Princess Hours or Coffee Prince, Lie to Me got me absolutely addicted, and I appreciate her sooo much. The pairing with Yoochun is….odd, but then again, it is too much to expect another Kang Ji Hwan-Yoon Eun Hye blasting sort of pairing.=D

    Then again, the story might drive me up the wall, never had the patience for early hallyu dramas. Ahh well. We’ll see.

  21. I’m really looking forward to IMY, mainly because it looks like it’s gonna be a different genre from the current fare. I’m so tired of the “overkill” we’re presently having in historical/fusion saguek stuff and revenge theme melodramas with suicidal/murderous nutcases for either their main leads or the main leads’ parents.

    So an angstsy melodrama about first loves with hopefully saner main leads sounds right up my alley, especially when the male lead is in love with the female lead and he knows it (and hopefully shows it!). His job description is a bonus!

    I like PYC and adore YEH, so I’m fine with the pairing. I actually hope that Lee Wan does not take up the 2nd lead role in this drama because he tends to burn up my screen whenever he is on it, and may distract my attention from the OTP. Imagine how much hotter he is now, after his army stint! (Faints at the thought).

  22. Oops, sorry for the typos…*sageuk* and *angsty”.

    I just read the other “Missing You” thread, and in case anyone misunderstands why I prefer Lee Wan not to be the 2nd lead in this show, I would like to clarify that (1) I want to focus on the love and interactions between PYC and YEH; (2) I’m not in the mood for 2nd lead shipping; and (3) The character description for the 2nd male lead is that he is expressionless and cold, and my personal preference is that I would like to see Lee Wan act as a cheeky or smirky devil-may-care character, whether as 2nd lead or otherwise.

  23. This got me interesting coz I kinda used to YEH in romantic comedies then suddenly switch to melodrama? I love YEH as an actress and this is a big shift from her comfort zone so I’m kinda intrigued in looking into this. 😮 However, the plot is seriously weird.. being fixated with a girl for 15 yrs? and remembers her calls his name? err.. so cheesy in so many ways. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as it’s expected.
