MBC's new Wed-Thurs miniseries 「Personal Taste」 (script by Park Hyegyeong, directed by Son Hyeongseok) has revealed the first look at its leading actors Son Yejin (Park Gaein) and Lee Minho (Jeon Jinho).
Son Yejin and Lee Minho participated in the poster shoot at the Ilsan MBC Dream Center on the 18th. Some adorable pictures show the two on a bed with Gaein clearly treating Jinho like a close girl friend while Jinho looks uncertain as to what to do. Another set shows them on a sofa, dressed comfortably and enjoying video games. Their expressions are so realistic it is hard to ascertain whether they are acting or just being themselves.
Son Yejin was Park Gaein personified: an odd girl who is very inexperienced in love. She showed up looking bright and fresh, attracting the attention of everyone on set. Gone was her mysterious aura shown in her recent movie <Into the White Night>. Instead, she was cute and adorable like a teenager. Throughout the shoot when she had to drape her leg on top of Lee Minho, she never lost her smile and gave the impression that she was truly sleeping comfortably. She earned the praise of the staff.
Lee Minho showed a wide range of expressions for the chic, brusque character of Jeon Jinho. Sometimes he'd look serious, sometimes surprised and sometimes mischievous. He showed off a different kind of charm than what he's shown in the past. He even opted for a more risque(?) shot with his shoulders bared, making everyone smile and lifting the mood.
Though they hadn't met since the script reading, they were awkward with each other only for a short while. They became closer while shooting on the bed and the sofa while in comfortable clothes, as befitting of the idea that they're living together. A lot more people than usual gathered to watch the poster shoot. They even dubbed the Son Yejin-Lee Minho couple as "2010's Couple of the Year" after seeing how similar their smiles were while lying in bed.
「Personal Taste」is about an amusing love story about a girl inexperienced in love and a chic yet brusque man pretending to be gay. 「Personal Taste」 airs March 31 at 9:55PM.
