Anyway, here's another news report on the news conference, which may appeal to Kim So Eun's fans: WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD!!!!

(All translation mistakes are mine)

Kim So Eun leaves F4 behind and takes on the challenge of a completely different new role

自出演电视剧《花样男子》后，时隔3个月将重返电视剧场的新锐演员金素恩将饰演与《花样男子》中人物完全不一样的角色。

It has been three months since actress Kim So Eun's last appearance on TV in "Boys Over Flower". Now, Kim So Eun makes a return to TV and takes on a completely different role in KBS' new drama, "He who can't marry", slated to go on air next week in the Mon-Tues time belt.

KBS二台新周一、周二电视剧《不能结婚的男人》制作发布会于9日在首尔论岘洞皇宫酒店举行，会上金素恩介绍自己所扮演的角色称："这次饰演的郑有珍这一角色与《花样男子》中的秋佳乙有很大不同。"

In the news conference held on 9 June at Imperial Palace hotel, Kim introduced her character as a "complete departure from Ga-eul in BOF".

金素恩说："在前一部作品中，秋佳乙这个人物性格文静，经常鼓励金赞蒂（具惠善饰）。但郑有珍性格外向，与我的实际性格有很多相近之处，因此演起来会更加得心应手。"

Kim added: "In BOF, Ga-eul was an introvert who often encouraged her friend, Jan-di. However, Yu-jin is more an extrovert and is closer to my real-life personality. Thus, it is not difficult at all portraying Yun-jin."

金素恩饰演的郑有珍和赵在熙（池珍熙饰）走得很近的邻居，她对赵在熙的每件事都指手画脚，并在此过程中不知不觉对对方产生了好感。

In the drama, Yu-jin has developed a close relationship with her immediate neighbour, Jo Jae-hee. She knows everything about him and in the process, develops a strong liking for him.

《不能结婚的男人》讲述了一个性格怪异的独身男人终于打开心扉的故事。该剧将于本月15日开播。

"He who can't marry" tells the story of what many deemed as an eccentric single man and how the self-erected walls around him are slowly chipped away.

I think the cast made an appearance in a talk show to drum up viewer support for and interest in the drama. But, I have absolutely no clue what this programme is......

Thanks again and again for the updates!!!

I love the doggie~

It's more lovely than the one in the original Japanese version ^+++^

As for Post #86, i.e. JJH's feet without socks, it happens and is not rare.

For the programme on June 9, I think that JJH talked about his eyebrows.

Part of his eyebrow was burnt off when he was filming "Dae Jang Geum" (the episode in which Min Jong Ho rescued Jang Geum from the burning wooden hut).

"Dae Jang Geum" turned out to be a great success (because of the fire???).

There was a fire at a filming location of the drama "He Who Can't Marry" several days ago.

He thinks that his new drama will also succeed (because of the fire???).

Well, is there any particular 'forum' on DCinside for this drama?

Understanding Jang Mun Jung: "Gold Miss" Personified

To some extent, actress Uhm Jung Hwa's role in the drama is a microcosm of a rising social trend in Korea - the "Gold Miss" as commonly known. These Alpha single women are generally 30 - 40-something with their own successful careers and are financially savvy and independent. However, for these women, their winning streak stops at love, although for many, it's a matter of personal choice.

Found a few related articles on "Gold Misses" from Chosun Ilbun....they make quite an interesting read:

Do check out UJH's animated expression as she discussed how the clinic scene was filmed.....and lest it proved to be too risque for some, the offending bit had been covered with a smiley....and so you will not find anything remotely R-rated

KBS' bachelor battles MBC's queen

Starting with the blockbuster series "My Wife is A Superwoman" in March, MBC reigned supreme on Monday and Tuesday nights, with "Queen Seon-deok" inheriting the throne in late May and carrying on MBC's winning streak. MBC's dynasty may fall tonight.

KBS' new Monday and Tuesday night series, "The Man Who Can't Get Hitched," has what it takes to edge out "Queen Seon-deok." Viewers will be hard-pressed to settle on a channel when the two series - one a historical saga, the other a romantic comedy - go head to head tonight.

"Queen Seon-deok" actress Ko Hyun-jeong, who is compelling as femme fatale Mi Shil, has met her match in Uhm Jung-hwa, who will be reeling in female viewers as a Bridget Jones-type with a medical degree in the new KBS series. But as the title suggests, Ko's greatest threat isn't singer-and-actress Uhm, it is "Jewel in the Palace" heartthrob Ji Jin-hee.

In the preview, Ji drew laughs as a stubborn, know-it-all 40-year old bachelor with a pathetic lack of social skills, a penchant for blasting classical music in his apartment and the pitiful ability to feel guilt-free about hogging a table for six at a restaurant.

Despite his various flaws, Ji's bachelor manages to come off as a lovable buffoon, an amazing feat considering that his first encounter with Uhm's character involves excessive flatulence, the humiliating experience of having his pants pulled off and of being submitted to a rectal exam.

"I closed my eyes like this," said Uhm, who is playing doctor Jang Moon-jung, in explaining how they filmed the hospital scene during a press conference Tuesday. She recreated the situation, scrunching her eyes shut while simulating whipping off a pair of pants.

Audiences will ponder whether or not Ji's character suffers from masochistic tendencies, when, after undergoing such intense demoralization, he goes back to the bewitching doctor who examined him.

Thanks to the hit series "Jewel in the Palace," Ji has made a name for himself as the mysterious and handsome type, the knight in shining armor, but he upends all that as loner architect Cho Jae-hee. A breath of fresh air as a clueless but cute loser, Ji may prove a born comedian.

At the press conference, Ji exhibited his comedic flair, correcting the MC when he called the drama a series about 40-something year-olds.

"(The drama is about) those in their late 30s and those going into their 40s."

When asked if his friends told him to fix certain habits before he got married, Ji, who got hitched in 2004, didn't even stop to think before answering: "No."

"Ah, there is something," Ji snapped his fingers while pinpointing his pre-marital drinking habits as something that he changed.

Uhm, who has already proved her comedic mettle in flicks like "Singles" (2003) and "Seducing Mr. Perfect" (2006), bantered with the press when they asked her about competing with her brother and fellow thespian Uhm Tae-woong, who is starring in the rival series "Queen Seon-deok."

"I would like to do a wee bit better," she answered coyly. "Because I'm his older sis, and because I'm still single."

But when pressed about plans for marriage, she offered no hint that she would be walking down the aisle anytime soon. "I am so accustomed to my life right now, like my character ..." she said.

Co-star Yang Jung-ah - SBS "Good Sunday" fans will recognize her from the hit reality-variety segment "Go Gold Miss" - was also asked questions about marriage.

"I would personally like to get married," she stated before fielding questions about the recent public announcement "Go Gold Miss" co-stars Jang Yoon-jeong and Noh Hong-chul made about their romance.

"I really didn't know," she said, referring to the lovebirds as "a couple that one could not have dreamed up."

"Boys Over Flowers" actress Kim So-eun and "Antique" cutie Yoo Ah-in will also be starring in the romantic comedy.

A spin-off of a popular Japanese series which aired on Fuji TV in 2006, "The Man Who Can't Get Hitched" will air its first episode tonight on KBS 2 TV at 9:55 p.m.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD!!!!

Yoo Ah In as Park Hyun Kyu

朴炫奎 – 刘雅仁 饰

　　在事务所里工作一年的员工，想跟载熙学习，所以给他的公司投了简历，前辈们都说那个地方不能去，但是他认为有了目标就能忍受曹载熙的性格。对 事情有着明确的目标意识，但对女人却是自由奔放型。他的人生计划中结婚还太遥远，不喜欢被束缚的关系。和基兰友情笃厚，有时还在背后一起说着载熙的坏话。 基兰又像姐姐又像妈妈，有时她想依靠的时候，也会借给她肩膀。看着这个40岁的大婶为了摆平载熙惹恼的客户喝酒唱歌跳舞的样子，有时会感到难过。

Eager to learn from the master himself, Hyun-ku has been working in Jae-hee's firm for a year. Many sunbaes had tried to dissuade him from working under Jae-hee, given his temperament but that did not stop a determined Hyun-ku from submitting his CV. For a level-headed young man with clear objectives in mind, it's laissez faire when it comes to women and relationships. Marriage is naturally far from his life's goals and he resents being tied down. Close to Ki-run, both of them will snitch behind Jae-hee's back. To him, Ki-run is both a mother and sister figure. Whenever she feels down, Hyun-ku will offer a shoulder for her to lean on. He's sadden to watch Ki-run, a 40-year-old ajumma, dancing and singing in the hope of placating ballistic clients blustered by a scrupulously honest Jae-hee.

more to come in a short while......

Kim So Eun as Jung Yu-jin

郑幼珍 – 金素恩 饰

　　载熙的邻居，大学毕业后刚刚步入了社会。因家庭环境不富裕，靠打工赚取了学费，有着透彻的经济概念。年轻美丽的她穿上东大门里的衣服也能让人 感到是名品店里的名牌。掌握首尔市所有可以买到便宜货的地方。有交往了三年的男友泰烈，开始交往的时候泰烈还是个读名牌大学的学生，但已经连续两年从言论 考试中落榜，变成了现在的无业游民。最近两个人经常吵架，看着整天无所事事的泰烈出入网吧和台球厅，幼珍越来越感到不满。成为载熙的邻居也是因为经济状 况，幼珍听到远方亲戚被派到纽约，房子要搁置一年的消息，于是来找这个几乎没见过面的亲戚，请求他让自己暂时住在那里。自从泰烈把自己存折里的全部打水漂 后，支付现在住的半地下的房租也已困难，原本没抱多大希望，不料亲戚大叔却爽快地答应了她的请求。

Jae-hee's neighbour is a recent university graduate who has just entered the workforce. Coming from a not too well-to-do family, Yu-jin had to rely on part-time work to pay her tuition fees, making her money smart in the process. Young and beautiful, this jaunty little miss can make *Dongdaemum fashion (high-street fashion) look haute couture. Owing to her upbringing and money sense, Yu-jin can suss out all the best bargains in town. Her boyfriend of three years, Tae-li (sorry, spelling and translation may be wrong here ) was once an undergraduate from a well-reputed university. However, after failing his final exams twice, Tae-li became a newly-minted unemployed drop-out. His constant loafing is the source of tension between the lovebirds, with Yu-jin - and understandably so - upset over his frequent visits to internet cafes and billiard rooms. When her lay about of a boyfriend finally wiped out all her personal savings, Yu-jin could hardly meet rental payments. Fortunately for her, she came to know of a distant relative who was about to be posted to New York for work. Immediately, she offered to house sit and so became Jae-hee's next door neighbour, where our story starts.

*Dongdaemun is Korea's largest wholesale and retail centre, and arguably the world over. Set up in 1905, Dongdaemun market has since grown and now comprises 26 malls with 30,000 specialty stores selling anything imaginable. Where else could you possibly shop in the wee hours of the morning, sleepless in Seoul? And if you believe a word from publicity brochures, fashion stylists of some celebrities hit Jeil Pyeonghwa mall to tog out their clients.
