Actors and Actresses You Want to See Work Together - For the First Time Or Again

[walkwithheroes]

Lately I've been thinking about the fact that the Asian Entertainment Industry seems to be relatively small. Or maybe its more that there are only a hand full of truly popular actors and actresses at any given time. Or, to be more correct, people tend to have their moments in the sun, and that means they work with the same people over and over again. Now, granted there are some actors and actresses that have made their living playing the 'Oh, it's him/her!' roles in dramas, specials, and films. And, there are the famous "Love Teams" in Taiwanese dramas - think Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng or Rainie Yang and Mike He.


All of this got me to thinking about the fact that many actors and actresses have worked with each other a few times throughout their careers and there are actors and actresses I'm dying to see work together. I thought I'd make a list and ask you guys who'd you'd love to see work together, either for the first time or the second or third or whatever. Because, with things the way they are in Asian Entertainment, your wish just might come true!





Korean:

Sung Yu Ri and Jo In Sung - A few years back they did some CMs and print ads for a clothing company. I watched their interviews and they were adorable together; discussing their wants to get married before they turn 30 and the fact that they went to school together (but didn't know each other, only of each other) at one point. They also had lovely chemistry in the ads. Plus - he got out of the army a few days ago! I'd love to see them in a drama together.

Ko Kyun Jung and Jang Hyuk - They've never worked together, and that honestly surprises me. Ko Kyun Jung is one of the best actresses in Korea and Jang Hyuk never disappoints. I could see them having amazing chemistry. Plus, they are both grown ups, so I think they'd be very powerful in their roles.

Ko Kyun Jung and Moon Geun Young - Not romantically, but both ladies are two of the best actresses in their generations. Both are serious about their work, as well. They also have a similar look. I'd love for them to play mother and daughter; they are about seventeen years apart.

Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Suk - Mary had its problems, but the first few episodes were fun and the chemistry between the "Geun-Geun" couple was there. As I understand it, they are also very similar in real life in terms of their likes and dislikes. So, I'd love for them to do a film together. Something sort and sweet.


Japanese:

Kimura Takuya and Takeuchi Yuko - They were in Pride together, the last romantic drama Kimura has done. And, they were awesome together. There was something very sweet about the pairing and I'd love to see it again.

Mimura and Matsuyama Kenichi - I wrong shipped them throughout Zeni Geba. They have great chemistry and I could see them doing something with a 'love-hate' relationship.


Chinese/Taiwanese:

Wallace Huo and Liu Shi Shi - Simply because I am loving them in their current drama. But, I fear they won't totally get together in it.


Though, I think there could be more if I really stopped and thought about it, that's my list. I'd love to know whose on everyone else's list.

For Japanese I just want to see Suzuka with someone awesome and not as a backseat character a la that Samurai drama w/ Miura Haruma. I'd say MatsuKen but he's married now so it'd feel weird to ship them (notice the issue isn't about their ages harharhar).

Taiwanese Wu Zun and Ella because I loved the Taiwanese Hana-Kimi and for Korean... Moon Geun Young and Im Soo Jung as sisters again, maybe? Moon Geun Young and the girl from Playful Kiss (I forgot her name orz) as kickass girls in a drama. Idek. XD

Suzuka turns 18 this year - that's legal in most countries. I would love for her and MatsuKen to work together again. They've worked together twice and each time have played well off each other. I'd love for them to do another project together. (Yes, she was wasted in the Samurai drama - I think she's been wasted in her last few projects, but that may be because she was finishing high school.)

Moon Geun Young and Im Soo Jung were wonderful as sisters. I'd love for them to do another film together, I think.

That's true! But if she should work with anyone that is as awesome as she is /dead. I actually haven't seen Kamui Gaiden because I'm not too fond of historic movies and such - how were they in that? (She was! Although I must be fail because when it comes to dramas, that's her only latest one, right?)

A Tale of Two Sisters continues to be one of my favorite Korean movies ever, and ultimately my favorite horror/suspense movie. ♥ I remember before I'd watched it, my stepsister told me that when she watched it, she said that I looked like the 'evil' sister, and when I watched it with my cousins, they said that my older sister looked like the younger one. :'D

I skimmed Kamui Gaiden - they were both very good in that. Their relationship was very sweet. (That was her last drama. She did nothing in 2010, most likely because she was busy with school. And, she has one movie coming up in 2011.)

A Tale of Two Sisters is also one of my favorite films!

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

I'll have to try to watch their parts. :'D (Yeah, she'll be a third year now, I think? She's my favorite actress, I should know more orz. Is the upcoming movie the omnibus one? Or is it one I totally missed?)

Isn't it amazing? sdjfhs

She'll be 18 in August, so I'm guessing she'll have graduated high school. Her last project is called Kamifusen and came out in March. I think she has a tv movie coming out soon.


It is a great film. The American remake was a disaster, but the Korean film was perfect.

... That's true! Man I really am fail. XD Idk if I've heard about Kamifusen but I'll look it all up anyway. Do you follow her blog? Obviously I don't read Japanese but her pictures are always so cute. :'3

I didn't even bother with the remake. Hollywood always botches up Asian movies when they try to remake them. Chris Colombus signed the rights to remake Hello Ghost which stars Cha Tae-Hyun and I about died. Noooooooo.

No, I don't follow her blog. I don't follow any celeb blogs, because I just don't have the time and most rarely update.


I hate Hollywood remakes of Asian films. So not looking forward to the Hello Ghost remake.
