In fact, they look compatible. So it's good if people can see him other than cool, sauve, handsome...just anything positive. Ji Chang Wook, who has actively performed in drama genres such as melodrama, action and historical, will play passionate young man Choi Dae Hyun, who lives above a convenience store. Wow!! :). So looking forward to this drama. I remember there had been a lot of controversies for drama Empress Ki in the beginning before it was aired, but the drama turned out to be a very successful drama. At his current status, he should have a big hit drama/movie under his belt like KSH, LMH and SJK. JCW born in 1987 and KJY in 1999 ==> 12 years. And look the difference, Noona romance the age gap is always mention, always in discution and always posing as an obstacle to be overcome. c'est assez pour moi. Haha. I personally think Healer and Empress Ki was up there in terms of quality. Director Lee Myung Woo of “The Fiery Priest” has taken the megaphone, heralding another “comic restaurant” drama. @sicarius I dunno why, but I feel that he's going to get paired with more older ladies in the future. I see what people mean about the age-gap, but I think we can separate two arguments: UPDATE 29 JANUARY:  Both actors’ agencies have confirmed today the official casting of Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung. Watch out. IDK too. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 We miss Wookie a lot. I was honestly worried about drama bc of the source material but I’m actually pretty excited now lol I noticed a lot of people bringing up MMS when discussing this drama but nothing will EVER be as bad as that lmao. I've read the webtoon and minus the raunchy bits (which won't be present in drama), the story is decent and interesting. Suspicious Partner and K2 were lower in quality. In fact, whats the deal with all those old-older men being paired with MUCH younger girls/women? the first pages are this teenager (?) The "24 hours of continuing comedy" is pretty scary. Find Me In Your Memory. Idk.. but I love how intelligent these people are who knows how bad a drama would be just by watching a mare 30sec teaser....like WOW!! But generally, for some including me, age gap is nothing! He was amazing in bringing out an underdog character. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { I see it coming. How do we know he's not careful about his scripts? Shall I go on. But why would it be a problem? What's with KYJ getting paired to much older men? It hit a rating as low as 1%. And this was announced by the drama’s producers. it's enough for me. will not be broadcasting the show with English subtitles either, because they do not have the capacity (i.e., buckets of money) to take on such an endeavor. I know the webtoon is popular but I am still not convinced that wookie is a good match for comedy or fluffy rom coms. I agree. appId : '127538621120543', Heh. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Thank you! }); I wish I could see him doing his shoots and tapings.. Goodluck and God bless to all the hardworking staffs and casts.. Congratulations in advance. Just wait and see how it will be. But, well, it's just my opinion. Find me the funding and I'll make it for you. He scrambles awake when the door chimes ring, signalling a customer, and wipes the drool off his face as a dolled-up Kim Yoo-jung walks up to the counter. Actor Ji Chang Wook’s first appearance as a “heodang store manager” at a convenience store has been revealed. And KYJ's mum is Kim Sun Young!!! cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access JCW is handsome and looks younger than his age too. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. Life can always surprise you, when it comes to love. Anyways hopefully this is a better project for both JCW and KYJ. (It also looks like the working title will be “Backstreet Rookie,” but we’ll see what exactly the main title will be closer to the filming date.) LJW has been in a vast sum total of 4 shows thus far, one of which he had no romantic interest, two of which his romantic interest actress was only 2 years his senior- which to me is still within the same age range, aka similar age, and not really applicable to the kind of age differences discussed herein (hilariously though in one they were teenagers and one coming on 30 in story canon), but anyway thus only making one drama wherein his romantic interest actress was more than 10 years older than him. It seems like Backstreet Rookie is a promising drama to me. They should be able to get more parts regardless of their age. I’m excited now to watch Suspicious Partner again with a new appreciation of what he brings to that character. [Breaking] Ji Chang Wook considering role in new drama “Convenience Store Saet Byeol” [updated], [Event] Details for Ji Chang Wook “Waiting For You” fan meeting in Bangkok, [Award/Tutorial] Ji Chang Wook nominated for Popularity Award at 2020 Asia Artist Awards, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. // Load the SDK asynchronously On January 29, Convenience Store Saet Byul found its two lead stars. . or Just a few still cuts reveal Choi Dae Hyun’s fake charm, creating a small laugh. Oh wait this is the drama that I decided should be a weird comedy horror fantasy where the convenience store is a ley line that connects to the ghost/supernatural realm and the convenience store worker/owner can see ghosts but is so 100% done with life he barely blinks at all the weird shit that happens because of ghost shenanigans and the directing is like a combination of liminal space aesthetics (philosophy of art) and Wes Anderson. But I did not see people here saying: "oh, it's sad they keep choosing younger girls to do characters that older women are just as capable of doing". The age gap between Ha Ji Won and Ji Chang Wook is 9 years old, and they had such a good chemistry.
