hmm... i dont think i read anyone commenting how these two look good together. am i the only one who actually think they look good as a couple? (showed my mom the pic and preview; and she said she can't feel "romance" )

btw, StarCrystal thanks for the link to HYJ's thread. i think i did visit her thread before (during GoongS era). it just slipped my mind so i thought there was no thread for her. glad that she has fans here in soompi. seems like a pretty active thread with nice discussions.

Im joo hwan is also in the drama

he's playing a medical student along with Ha Ri (heo yi jae), childhood friends for 15 years, developed a one-sided love for Ha Ri

민원장의 아들. 하리를 쫓아다니는 자뻑 대왕.

하리와는 소꿉친구며 15년 하리를 해바라기 하고 있는 일편단심 민들레. 명문대 의대생으로 IQ는 좋지만 EQ와 SQ(사회지수)는 덜 떨어지는 딱 요즘아이. 풍호같은 허접한 놈한테 하리를 빼앗겼단 생각에 분하고 억울해하며 둘을 떼어놓으려 하지만 결국 풍호를 이해하고 하리의 마음도 위로해준다. 하리와 풍호를 통해 인생과 사랑을 알아가는 귀여운 남자.

There was filming took place on valentines day, and Oh Ji Ho, Heo Yi Jae and PD are giving out chocolates to the drama's staffs and crew people

she mentioned she had never received chocolates from her BF

Im Joo Hwan joined the cast??..I'm soo happy. Another reason to drool over the drama. First the cute Boy, then Im Joo Hwan, then only Oh Ji Ho and maybe shindong..hehe

At first I thot he will play Kang Su Yeon lover. So that I'm happy when I saw he has a 15 years crushed on Ha Ri. But Mr joo Hwan he already played a doctor in Snow Queen..I gues we have to see him in white robes again.

Contdown..3 days to the screening!!

and thanks WITH S2 for taking this as ur project. Jungmal Kamsahamnida in advance

I am trusting and banking on what Mr. Oh Ji Ho said that the reason why he accepted this drama is because this series offers a new/different dimension and it has a more in-depth screenplay. This is enough reason and basis for me to watch this drama.

And now with the inclusion of Im Joo Hwan in the drama, playing HYJ's lover, added spice to my excitement. I saw him in "Snow Queen" and in a single-drama episode where he left an impressive mark on me.

Celest and Lisa, thank you for all the updates on this drama!

'Single Daddy in Love' promises comic relief

A mixed martial arts fighter plays a single father to his seven-year-old son in KBS's new drama "Single Daddy in Love."

Set to air its first episode tonight, "Single Daddy in Love" follows on the heels of the star-studded melodrama "Bad Love." And, unlike its melancholy predecessor, this comic drama promises to bring laughter into households nationwide with its talented cast and quirky plot.

"[This drama] is like a fairy tale that is filled with the warm laughter and love of people who want to build their own families," said director Moon Bo-hyun.

And veteran actors Oh Ji-ho and Kang Sung-yeon, along with newcomer Heo Yi-jae, promise to give this fairy tale drama the levity and warmth it needs to have its happy ending.

Oh, 31, who won audiences over with his comic performance in MBC's drama "Fantastic Couple" (2006), now takes on the challenging role of Kang Poong-ho, a single father who ekes out a living for his small family as a mixed martial arts fighter.

But playing a single father is the least of Oh's problems. Thanks to bad back, the greatest challenge he faces is not his role as a dad but as a martial arts fighter.

"Last September, while I was filming the drama 'Karl and Su-jung,' my back was not in good condition, so I went to the hospital regularly for treatment," he explained. "As a result, I wasn't able to exercise much. I am a little worried because my role is that of a mixed martial arts fighter."

But, despite his worries, Oh, who filmed a fight scene on Jan. 28, managed to pull through just fine.

"While leading actor Oh has been filming rough fight scenes and working all night long, thanks to his strong spirit and sense of responsibility, he has been handling it well," said director Moon.

And Oh is going to need all the strength he can muster because he will be playing opposite two very talented actresses.

Actress Kang blew audiences away with her electrifying role in the blockbuster "King and the Clown" (2005). And now she takes on the complex, interesting role of Yoon So-lee, Kang Poong-ho's first love and the mother of their son, Kang San.

Playing a woman who abandons her son for a career as a pianist, Kang is going to have trouble winning viewers over. But she promises to portray a character who is more than just a one-dimensional bad gal.

"Unlike my previous drama, 'The New Good Wife,' where I played a simple-hearted and accident-prone housewife, this character is a cold, sophisticated city girl," said Kang, 31. "But that's just her from the outside. She is actually masking a great deal of pain within. And I am going to act out all of these complex emotions to the best of my ability."

Playing opposite Kang's complex, dark character is newcomer Heo. And, while she may not have racked up as much acting experience as her co-stars, Heo can hold her own on screen.

Having starred in the MBC drama "Prince Hours" (2007) and in the flick "A Dirty Carnival" (2006), this 20-year-old actress promises to light up the screen with her comedic role as Jun Ha-ri, a medical student who falls for Kang Poong-ho.

"I did a lot of character analysis before we started filming," said Heo. "The role of Ha-ri, who grew up to be a bright and energetic girl, thanks to her father's love and attention, is not a mediocre role. While she's bubbly and happy on the outside, she has her own issues. And I need to keep this in mind when playing her."

With a plot that involves a single father and the two women who love him, "Single Daddy in Love" may read like a melodramatic love triangle. But the director plans on keeping this story from being pigeonholed.

"Their lives could be portrayed in a dark and sad light," said Moon. "But all the characters are bright and optimistic, like characters in a fairy tale. They are the type of characters who can just brush off the weight of life and get back up on their feet."

Audiences can decide for themselves by tuning in tonight.

"Single Daddy in Love" airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9:55 p.m. on KBS 2 TV.
