Movie Actress Jeon Jong Seo and Rookie Actor Moon Sang Min in Talks for Romance K-drama Wedding Impossible

Talk about playing against type in a major way! K-ent is reporting that movie actress Jeon Jong Seo is taking on her first K-drama a live action adaption of a standard romance manhwa type story. It’s called Wedding Impossible and the female lead is a third rate actress who agrees to a fake marriage with a gay chaebol heir for inheritance purposes and get involved with the heterosexual older brother. In talks for the male lead said older brother character is rookie actor Moon Sang Min, who has two dramas under his belt the first in My Name and most recently as one of the princes in Under the Queen’s Umbrella. This whole casting is just weird to me, I can’t see award winning movie actress Jeon Jong Seo taking on this vanilla sounding contract marriage rom-com and playing the cutesy female lead role but like I said earlier if she wants to break out of her femme fatale and tough/bad girl image on the big screen this would be a step.
