Laughter Will Be The Best Medicine For Jo In Sung And Gong Hyo Jin May Cure Him

Jo In Sung, who made viewers weep with his role the 2013 melodrama "That Winter The Wind Blows," is aiming for laughs in his upcoming comedy "It's Okay, It's Love."

And he's getting help from Gong Hyo Jin, one of the funniest k-drama actresses. The actors recently filmed some of the comedy's first scenes. Just standing next to each other for stills, they managed to make an appealing and intriguing couple.

The plot of "It's Okay, It's Love" calls for them to be mismatched but not in the way that Gong Hyo Jin has been mismatched with her past k-drama co-stars. In "The Master's Sun," So Ji Sub's character looked down on her, at first dismissing her as crazy for her ghost-seeing ways. And besides that he was rich and she was not. In "the Greatest Love," Cha Seung Won's puffed-up idol character looked down on her as a has-been not worthy of his attention.

She proved these male leads wrong by demonstrating just how valuable her characters were. But in the case of her new drama, Gong Hyo Jin starts out with an advantage over her male co-star, played by Jo In Sung.

He plays Jang Jae Yeol, a mystery writer and a radio disc jockey with a smooth romantic manner. Although it looks like his life is perfect, he has an obsession and he needs her help to cope with it.

Gong Hyo Jin plays Ji Hae So, a kindhearted psychiatrist. But as nice as she is she did not choose her calling out of any genuine passion to help humanity. She just didn't want to have to perform surgeries. She is in her first year of a psychiatry fellowship at a university hospital when she meets Jang Jae Yeol

The drama filmed its first scenes this month in Bundang and drew such a large crowd of fans, that filming had to be interrupted to ask fans to step back. The first scenes featured Jo In Sung looking for a girl who betrayed him. He expects her to explain but instead she tells him some shocking news. Besides Gong Hyo Jin, Jo In Sung and Lee Kwang Soo, EXO's Do Kyung Soo, also known as D.O., was also featured in the first scene. The singer and rookie actor was seen riding a bicycle as his character Han Gang Woo.

Actor Lee Kwang Soo plays Park Soo Gwang, a man with Tourette syndrome, a condition in which people sometimes blurt out sounds or make inappropriate statements.

So far, "It's Okay, It's Love" seems to have all the elements required for comic success.

The comedy will air in July.
