Joo-won Signs on to Joint Chinese-Korean Melo-Romance

No story. Yet : Xiao You Qiao Mu, the film project that Joo-won (Good Doctor) has announced will be his next, in which he’ll appear with former Super Junior member Hangeng.
Xiao You Qiao Mu will be a melodrama backed by large-scale distributor and production company China First, co-produced by Yuehua Entertainment, and helmed by Korean director Jo Jin-kyu (My wife Is a Gangster). It’s based on an internet novel that’s been popular over the past four years that has been such a hot property that apparently mere rumors of film adaptations have lit up the internet.

The head of Yuehua’s Korean branch, Lee Sang-kyu, explained that Joo-won is currently enjoying a lot of popularity in China, and the news of his casting in Nodame Cantabile recently was met with a lot of interest, which explains why they’re eager to strike while he’s hot.

The film is about three men fall in love with one woman.

Xiao You Qiao Mu will begin filming mid-month, and will be shot in both Korea and China. I'll just wait Nodame and read about the development with this melo and romance.

Joo Won And Kim Ah Jung To Stars In New RomCom Film

Joo-won and Kim Ah Joong is reportedly to headline new romantic comedy film called Only You, about a cop and a house burglar who fall in love. It just the title I don;t understand.

She’ll play a cat burglar, while he’s a cop and a profiler. The profiling must figure into the story in some way, though there are no plot details yet for how and why the cop and robber end up falling in love. Maybe I will be on to this one, because  it’s a little more appealing than your average opposites-attract rom-com. Because there are higher stakes and laws to break, and possible jail time separation.

I love the two, but not as a pairing (she's older by 5 years. But it's fine). But I hope they will funny together in this movie.

The movie plans to finish casting and start shooting by the end of April for a release later this year.
