Have you had an OTP so beloved that one drama wasn’t enough? That’s only more or less 20 episodes of angst and sweetness, of that chemistry and then everything is memory (or video reels).

Fortunately for some of the most beloved pairs, the stars have aligned in drama-land in 2014. This year, more than ever, drama viewers are treated to a reunion of some of the best-loved drama couples. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Jung Jae; Jun Ji Hyun and Ha Jung Woo

Then, with Lee Jung Jae: “The Thieves” (Film). Thieves with each their own agenda come together to steal “The Tears of the Sun” from a casino in Macau. And “Il Mare” (Film). Two people from two years apart converse through a magical mailbox.

Then, with Ha Jung Woo: “The Berlin File” (Film). A husband and wife working for the North Korean government are on the run after an arms deal falls through.

Now: “The Assassination” (Film). Set in the 1930s, an assassination plot takes place to take out a pro-Japanese group.

A little something of note: More than Jun Ji Hyun’s reunion with two co-stars from different projects, the film is also her reunion with her “Thieves” director Choi Dong Hoon. Other actors in the cast are also “Thieves” alumni, namely Choi Duk Mun and Oh Dal Soo.

Jun Ji Hyun has proved successful with repeat team-ups. She has both “Windstruck” and “My Sassy Girl” with directorKwak Jae Yong.

But perhaps the biggest evidence of her successful re-teaming is “My Love from the Star” with “Thieves” co-star Kim Soo Hyun. The drama premiered towards the end of 2013 and by the time it has finished airing in 2014 has turned the drama, and both Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun into Hallyu phenomenon.

Hitmaker CHOI Dong-hoon has finalized casting for his highly anticipated fifth feature Assassination, which will begin production this month in Shanghai. Joining him in China will be his The Thieves(2012) co-stars Gianna JUN, LEE Jung-jae and OH Dal-su, while HA Jung-woo and CHO Jin-woong will mark their first appearances in a CHOI film. Set in the 1930s, during Japan’s colonial rule of Korea, Assassination will focus on a small band of fighters carrying out orders to eliminate pro-Japanese supporters by the resistance government. Playing the leader of the squad will be screen siren Gianna JUN (aka JUN Ji-hyun), who will be joined by her The Thieves co-star LEE Jung-jae, playing a resistance fighter, and her The Berlin File co-star HA Jung-woo, taking on the role of a ruthless gun for hire. Character actor OH Dal-su will play HA’s right hand man, while CHO Jin-woong, hot off A Hard Day, Kundo: Age of the Rampant and Roaring Currents, will play a firearms specialist. Also starring will be veteran performer LEE Geung-young. Director CHOI has made a name for himself for his fast-talking and energetic action-thrillers ever since he debuted 10 years ago with The Big Swindle. He hit pay dirt in 2006 with Tazza: The High Rollers, the long in the works sequel of which was released this weekend for the Chuseok holiday in Korea, and then Woochi (2009) and before making The Thieves, which was only the second Korean film to sail past the 13 million admissions mark. The feature will be produced by Caper Films, a company founded by CHOI and his producer wife AHN Soo-hyun, which was also responsible for The Thieves. Financed and to be distributed by Korean studio Showbox/Mediaplex (The Host, 2006; The Thieves), filming for Assassination, which will take place in Shanghai, Manchuria and Korea, will commence shortly in anticipation of a wide Summer 2015 bow.

["Assassination" update"]

FOOT CARTS TO SHOOTING SITE TO SUPPORT GODDESS

Chinese fans have contacted Goddess's agency and the corresponding agency in China for sending food carts to the shooting site of "Assassination" in Shanghai.  Now the latest upadte is that they will be allowed to send the food carts there to support the 150 crew members food in early Oct.  They are now doing fundraising for it.  The two Chinese fans clubs planned to support goddess at different time.  Their estimated costs are RMB20,000 (approx. USD3,200) and RMB15,000 (approx. USD2,440) respectively.

So it's expected that Goddess will be in Shanghai soon and especially in early Oct (which means it's unlikely for her to attend the upcoming award ceremony on 1 Oct).

Now they have altogether raised RMB10,173 (USD1,656) [RMB6225 (http://www.joinwish.com/wish/show/id/10076115) + RMB3,948 (http://www.joinwish.com/wish/show/id/10076110)] since this morning.

If you want to contribute to the fund raising, please kindly inbox me for further details and payment method (but please allow some time for my response).
