Lee Seung Gi And Moon Chae Won Reunite For A Realistic Love Story

It has been a great year for star reunions. Jang Nara and Jang Hyuk, Kwon Sang Woo and Choi Ji Woo, Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi are just a few of the k-drama actors that opted to work together for a second time. And now Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won are planning an acting reunion.

Lee Seung Gi and Moon Chae Won played boyfriend and girlfriend in the drama "Shining Inheritance," although in the end she did not get to keep him. Her cruel behavior toward her stepsister, played by Han Hyo Joo, cost her the man she wanted.

Now Moon Chae Won will have another chance for romance when the two co-star in "Today's Love," also called "Today's Dating."

In the film he plays a man named Junsu. He can't make his relationships work because he is too giving. Junsu meets a woman named Hyun Woo, a witty, talkative meteorologist played by Moon Chae Won.  The story has been described as a realistic romantic comedy.

It was that realism that attracted Lee Seung Gi to the role. In a recent interview with Star News, he said that he especially enjoyed the story because of its realism.

"I'm very excited for it because I personally favor this genre."

In the same interview Moon Chae Won said that she was also attracted to the true-to-life story line.

"I liked the fact that this was the kind of a love story that anyone could have also experienced," she said.

Although it is Lee Seung Gi's first film role, it is not the first time he considered being in a film. The star of "Gu Family Book" and "You're All Surrounded" previously received film proposals that he considered but the timing never worked out.

"In the end I always ended up having scheduling conflicts," he said.

And he admitted that he was still adapting to the difference between filming a movie and a drama.

 "Unlike a drama, the filming for the movie was much more detail oriented," he said.

It's not Moon Chae Won's first film role. Besides playing a doctor in "Good Doctor" during the last year, she also appeared in a short film titled "Awaiting." And she is scheduled to appear in another film. She and Yoo Yeon Suk will play a couple in the film "The Mood That Day." He was recently in "Gu Family Book" and "Reply 1994." In the film they are two strangers who meet at the Korean Train Express and spend a day together. During that day they begin to like each other. That movie will start filming later this year.

"Today's Love" began filming in July and will premiere in 2015.
