Hwang Jung-eum returns through fantasy rom-com ‘Men are Men’

By Choi Ji-won | Jul 6, 2020

Hwang Jung-eum who has enjoyed success with romantic-comedy dramas is returning to the small screen through another lovey-dovey drama show.

In the new drama “Men are Men” on KBS2, Hwang will play Seo Hyun-joo, a workaholic web comic platform coordinator who vows marriage to herself, only to find herself challenged to rethink the value of love by two suitors.

Hwang, along with the series’ producer Choi Yoon-suk and lead cast members Yoon Hyun-min, Seo Ji-hoon, Choi Myung-gil and Jo Woo-ri, held a promotional press conference Monday, before the first episode aired.

According to the producer, the drama seeks to deal with the issue of forgoing marriage by portraying the lives of women who have different ideas about love and commitment.

“The drama shows the predicaments, lifestyles and romantic relationships of four women who are each against marriage, married, single and divorced,” Choi said, adding he hopes viewers can easily relate to the story. Choi previously helmed KBS dramas “Queen of Mystery” second season (2018) and “Good Manager” (2017).

Often nicknamed as the “queen of rom-com,” Hwang is making a swift return to the small screen less than a month since her most recent series “Mystic Pop-Up Bar” closed the curtains on cable network JTBC in June. 

“I’m grateful to be able to do rom-com at the age of 37 (Korean age),” Hwang said at the Monday’s event. “(The new drama) takes on a different storyline compared to other romantic-comedy dramas. I will be showing a more evolved and mature character.”

Debuting in the entertainment scene as a member of the first generation K-pop girl group “Sugar” in 2002, Hwang started her acting career with SBS’s “Princess Lulu” in 2005 and made herself known through the smash-hit sitcom “High Kick Through the Roof” in 2009. Successfully portraying a lovely character and showing great on-screen chemistry with her counterpart actors, Hwang has brought success to several rom-coms in which she took the lead, including “Kill Me, Heal Me” (2015), “She Was Pretty” (2015) and “Lucky Romance” (2016).

The drama weaves in elements of period-fantasy, as Hyun-joo gets involved with the same man over three lapses of life. In the drama, actors Yoon Hyun-min and Seo Ji-hoon play Hwang’s counterparts, Yoon as pharmaceutical company CEO Hwang Ji-woo, and Seo as star webtoon illustrator Park Do-gyum.

Veteran actress Choi Myung-gil, 57, will star as the chairman of Sejong Medical Foundation Kim Sun-hee and rookie Jo Woo-ri as Sun-hee’s daughter.

The 16-episode series airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. on KBS2 channel starting this week.

It's gotta be somewhere by now. I found it in the illegals so it's somewhere legal. @tulip06

 

It is out now on Viki and Kocowa. I guess Kocowa is for usa and Canada. At this moment Viki is still subbing episode 1 and Kocowa is already subbed. Time now is 3 hours later than my original post.

Hi,  If it's airing on Viki and Kocowa, it is proably available everywhere. It's on viki ,even though yesterday it said it's not available in my region.  Sorry for the multiple post. They all say the same thing.I just saw the raw version and the subbed version. When I saw the raw version I thought the drama was all over the place. But when I saw the subbed version everthing made sense. Of course, I'm not suppose to figure it all out at once. The story is intriguing. It has a lot more than what the summary says.  I'm not one to analyze a drama. Find hidden meaning and such. If you like that, this drama will be a bonus for you. I will enjoy watching it as it is.  BTW if anyone has already watched ep1. That part with the hanky - to me I think he was going to put it over her face; like trying to subdue her and carry her away - the way he was holding the hanky. She was crying, so  maybe I'm wrong. @Sirry UslyBoth main leads seem to have major issues.

[Edgar Pordwed]

Its not available in my region either, nor is Kocowa. It'll be released with subs on the other sites by tomorrow evening so should just wait till then!

I'll PM you links to a couple of not-legal sites. 

 

I'm giving this show a try because I enjoyed our lead actress in Mystic Pop-up Bar.  The first episode was cute, and I'm thinking this will be a fun summer watch.

[Sirry Usly]

Just watched ep 1 and I am sooo excited for this series! It's so good already and it's only the first episode! Lol also, it's the first episode and I'm already torn between the second lead and the main lead. 

[angelbeast90]

I loved the first episode. But seriously looks like she is having a multiple personality disorder ,through the centuries, without the subs! That child actor was a riot when she woke up from her coma!

Now I need to watch with subs!

He abandoned her in THREE past lives??!!!

And Hwang Ji Woo mysteriously seems to be involved in Hyun Joo's present life too. 

What a good start! ...waiting for more!

 

 

[monalisa]

I enjoyed watching ep. 1.  Im Gyo jin is really good at playing this kind of 'slimy character' roles.

[larus]

I just finished episode 1. Very promising. I think I found another drama to wait for each week. It was funny.

I like the heroine, her friendship with Do-Gyeom, with her childhood friends. Yoon Hyun Min`s character is very misterious. I don`t know why Hyun Joo and Ji Woo had such an unfortunate fate in the past lives but I hope this time will be better. He is sick? I don`t mind if Hyun Joo will end up with the second lead if this way she can broke up the bad luck but I hope for a happy ending for everyone. I root for Hyun joo and Ji woo as well.

Seing Joo Ye Rim (the child actress who played young Hyun Joo) was a surprise. She did a good job when her character wake up from the coma with past lives infromations. It was like she was an old lady in a child`s body.

 

I am looking forward the next episodes.

[Nodame]

@larus @thistle  Nice to see friendly people I recognize! Yeah! Hi Friends!

I stumbled last night on Episode 1 looking for something to watch. I love Yoon Hyun Min alot and I don't  mind Hwang Jung Eum either. After seeing her in Mystic Pop Up Bar (as well) I enjoyed it alot.

 

Interesting with the past lives and thoughts on marriage/dating etc for the current FL.

 

I enjoyed it and looking forward to ep 2. 

 

Ep 2 clips (Lunch break for me now)  CLIPS galore (unlike AHEM other channels)

Ep 3 preview

 

[thingskateknows]

Hi friends!

 

I also thought the first two episodes showed promise. I found it hilarious that the love rivals from Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter are the rivals here. I didn't even realize who the main actors were other than Hwang Jung Eum. I guess Yoon Hyun Min wanted to be the past-life love this time!

 

After Mystic Pop Up Bar, I'm now willing to give Hwang Jung Eum a chance. Prior to that, I just couldn't stomach her acting. Too screechy and over the top for my tastes. But here (and in MPUB), she does a great job of not overacting the comedy. 

 

The only negatives for me are the heavy handed 'mystery' at this point. It's a bit much for me. I also am not a big fan of the "she thinks Ji Woo is gay and hitting on Do Gyeom!" That doesn't sit well and I hope they don't stretch that out too long. 

 

The side characters are all cute and engaging and the humor is well done.  I think it seems fun and the past lives aspect is intriguing. Hopefully, they keep up a good story pace.
