Son Ye-Jin, who stole the spotlight in ‘My Wife is Married’ and ‘Into the White Night’, makes her comeback in the drama ‘Personal Taste’ (script Park Hae-Kyung, producer Son Hyung-Suk, produced by Lee Kim Productions).
Son breaks away from her usual passive image and gets into a sweet and energetic role – giving the audience much anticipation to see her spunky transformation in this new drama.
‘Personal Taste’ is an adaptation of a Korean-American’s novel where Son plays the role of the leading lady ‘Park Ge-In’. The drama’s title is a play on Ge-In’s name, which literally means “personal” in Korean.
Park Ge-In is a furniture designer in her mid twenties and is the only daughter of a well-respected professor in the construction industry. As a young CEO of the hip furniture brand marketed for singles, ‘Moon’, Park is a troublemaker who is all over the place and naively trusts people too easily hence suffers heartaches but never manages to lose her cool spirit.
With the hopes of befriending a gay friend, Ge-In coincidentally befriends and lives with Jun Jin-Ho (played by Lee Min-Ho), whom she thinks is gay, and their interaction brings joy to the screen. Through this, Ge-In’s frustration of being single disappears and she finds her femininity and grows into a more sophisticated mature woman.
Son reflects, “This year I wanted to do a bright and fun project and I am glad I found this one. Furthermore, I really liked how, despite all the struggles, the main character uses confidence and optimism to deal with her problems. I was able to have so much fun filming this drama.”
The highly anticipated Son Ye-Jin/Lee Min-Ho special ‘Personal Taste’ premieres in April as a MBC Wednesday/Thursday mini-series and is expected to be a huge hit for 2010.
‘Personal Taste’ is produced by Lee Kim Productions whose hits include ‘What Happens in
