@larus THANK U  :x

*crossing fingers* 

And I know you're right it's only 45 minutes each (if we are not counting some minutes to spazz, to swoon, to headdesk, to obsess over every single new episode.. :>), so I'll try to keep it sane and enjoy ^^

Cable dramas having heydaytvN's 'I Need Romance 3' appeals on straight-talk, colorful love game
By Park Jin-hai The Korea Times

Cable dramas fared well last year. A slew of dramas went shoulder to shoulder with those of major public broadcasters in terms of viewership, thanks to more experimental formats and fresh content. 
Following on their trail, tvN announced on Wednesday it will air the third season of “I Need Romance.”
The cable network’s romantic comedy “Rude Miss Young-Ae” has enjoyed long-running popularity, with its 13th season to be aired this year, and the recently ended romantic comedy “Reply 1994” has been so successful it created renewed interest in retro culture.       
“I Need Romance 3,” rated 15 and over, will depict actress Kim So-yeon as a single career woman in her 30s, struggling to balance career and love at a home-shopping company.      
At the press conference in Patio9, Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, the cast and the director of the television series said that although its format shares similarities with famous U.S. television series “Sex and the City,” viewers could enjoy a more delicate emotional tug-of-war between the leading characters.

“Our strength may well be that we are able to depict delicately the emotional flow of each character. Beautiful images filling the small screen will be another must-see,” said  Jang Young-woo, director of the drama. 
“I think that is why our previous seasons appealed so much to other Asian viewers, more than the U.S. drama,” Jang said.     
Its first season, aired in 2011, was exported to Japan, making it the first cable drama exported and aired through an overseas major television network, TBC. 
In total, it has been exported to 20 countries. The second season was also purchased by 14 countries, including Cambodia and Myanmar. 
Seo Jang-ho, manager of CJ E&M’s overseas marketing department, said that from the beginning of the production, foreign buyers have made contact to discuss its purchase. 
According to CJ E&M, a total of 20 drama titles were exported to 21 countries, raking in 13.3 billion won in revenue in the first three quarters of 2012 alone.
Kim, heroine of many action-filled dramas, including “IRIS,” said that she was thrilled to play a “milder” character this time.
“The female character, after breaking up with her boyfriend, talks to herself that she exists not to be loved, but to enjoy her life for her own benefit,” she said. “In real life, unlike the character I am playing, I am rather watchful of the public eye.”
In one scene, her character says out loud that she is really happy about being lonely, which represents her complicated feelings, Kim said.
At the entrance of the press event, Japanese fans surrounded Namgung Min, who starred in “Can You Hear My Heart (2011),” and took picture with him. The hallways were lined with stacks of rice, sent by overseas fans.    
“I haven’t been on the screen for almost two years. When I think of the fans who remember me, I am really grateful,” he said. 
Japanese viewers seem to love his previous characters, who sacrificed himself for her true love, he added. He is expected to hold a fan meeting in March.
Namgung will act as Kim’s senior, who was promoted on a fast track to the post of the department chief.  
As his opposite role, Sung-jun, 23, will portray a talented young composer who immigrated to the United States and came back. He is expected to draw out the romantic and emotional sides of the lead actress. 
 “I want to be an actor with sincerity, so that viewers won’t say that my performances are not convincing and hollow,” he said. 
The former model has earned fame appearing in “Gu Family Book” as a warrior-guard for the lead actress, played by Suzy of girl group “Miss A.” 
Along with the lead characters, Park Hyo-ju will take the Samantha-like role, enjoying a boundary free sex life, while Wang Ji-won will play the former model and beauty channel host, who rivals Kim So-yeon.
The cast said that they promised to hold a pajama party in Gwangwamun, central Seoul, if the viewership reaches 3 percent, which is regarded to be tantamount to 15 percent for major broadcasters. 
The drama will be aired on Mondays and Tuesdays from Jan. 13 through the tvN network.

From what I understand with raw translations it seems that Lee Hyori will sing an OST for drama I Need Romance 3. She will compose a song and write the lyrics and her husband who is  a musician too will make the arrangements for the song.

I love soundtracks and I am interested in the music for the drama. Hope they use the Regina Spektor`s song too.

*****
Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon will collaborate for the first time since getting married on a song together, and it'll be for 'I Need Romance 3' OST!

tvN's 'I Need Romance 3' rep told TV Report on the 9th, "Married couple Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon will participate in the 'I Need Romance 3' OST. We are aware that they are currently recording the song... Although Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon worked on the song together, only Lee Hyori will be singing in the song. They are currently working on it in their newlywed house in Jeju Island

When a couple comes together through artistic interest, one could assume the outcome to be magical. Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon’s upcoming soundtrack seems to fit all such criteria.

I just knew it was not a coincidence their character are both 32 years old. From what I watch in teasers their rivalry had a deep reason. I think it explains why JooYeon becomes irrational when she fights her. You are not showing such strong negative reactions after so many years if you did not care for that person equally before. I am looking forward to watch their story. I am happy that this time we don`t have the typical love triangle. INR3 go go go!

Kim So Yeon Talks About Romancing Younger Men: On And Off Screen

BY Joan MacDonald - KDramaStars | Jan 10, 2014 10:14 AM EST

Kim So Yeon, star of the tvN drama "I Need Romance 3" recently shared a few thoughts about romancing a younger man onscreen and off.

The 33-year-old actress has already filmed a few kiss scenes with her younger "I Need Romance 3" co-star Sung Joon and at the drama's press conference commented on the possibility of more intimate scenes. In her new drama she plays a woman who no longer believes in love. He plays the man who might convince her that love does exist.

"The scripts for the first seven episodes are out," she said. "So far there have been no intimate scenes but if there are going to be intimate scenes I will commit myself to them completely."

When she expressed her enthusiasm for those scenes at the press conference, her younger co-star looked shyly at the ground. So far the couple already filmed a few kiss scenes and Sung Joon has expressed his enthusiasm for those.

"Our chemistry is really great," said the actor, who recently played Suzy's bodyguard in "Gu Family Book." "I always look forward to and feel excited about our kiss scenes."

Kim So Yeon, who played determined prosecutor Park Jae Kyung in "Two Weeks" and a North Korean agent in "Iris," was intimidated by the idea of romancing a younger man on screen.

"I worried about the fact that Sung Joon is ten years younger than me and I worried that I might look like his aunt when we acted together," she said.

But the two actors made an attractive couple.

"It was a relief that he looks mature for his age, so it didn't feel like our age gap was so big," she said.

Sung Joon was also intimidated by the idea of acting with her but not because she was older than he was.

"When I first heard the leading actress would be Kim So Yeon, honestly, I was a bit scared of her," he said. "After watching 'Iris," I wondered if I was going to get in trouble and get hit, but when I first met her on set, I was surprised by how kind and considerate she is."

When asked which man she would choose in the show's love triangle, Kim refused to decide between Sung Joon and Nam Goong Min.

"I want both men," she said, smiling.

Even though the actress was intimidated at the prospect of acting with a younger man, she was not scared to date one in real life
"I have dated a younger man before," she said. "He was good to me and I did not feel the age difference."

"I Need Romance 3" starts January 13.
