Rowoon and Won Jin Ah sighted filming

[Alice Wonderland]

2021?? So I feel time flew too fast. We just begin for 2020 but it feels as if we jump to 2021 soon.

 

I saw some bts on IG a few days ago. He's filming for this. 

[mademoiselle]

Rowoon talks about his character in Cosmopolitan Korea August edition:

 

On the topic of his upcoming drama “Sunbae, Don’t Put on That Lipstick” (literal title), Rowoon compared himself to his character Chae Hyun Seung. “There was something that I’ve wanted to try out, and that was having a lot of lines,” he said. “I was also attracted by the fact that my character has a very outspoken personality. He’s different from my own personality because he’s refreshingly honest.”

This title cracks me up whenever I see it. I think I may tune in just to see what causes him to tell her not to put lipstick on.

Hahaha. It depends whether it is one particular lipstick colour or all lipsticks. My guess is it makes her seductive and so he doesn't want her to wear it (either to protect his heart or have other men be attracted to her).

[mademoiselle]

Finally something to update on this drama, even if it is just a photo of the cast & crew.

 

[Merry_Shai]

I do adore Rowoon, BUT I am super here for Won Jin Ah (I just love her so much). I really hope this one will be good, I like the plot based on what I see.

Actually looking forward to this too! Rowoon is so aesthetic to look at and the title is hilarious.

It says based on a web novel...not a webtoon? I would totally read if it's a webtoon

JTBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Sunbae, Don’t Put on That Lipstick” (literal translation) has given a look at its script reading session with the cast!

 

The new drama is an office romance that tells the love story between a lovely sunbae (someone senior at work, school, or in an industry) and a bold hoobae (junior) who has it all: good looks, cuteness, sexiness, and a serious aura.

 

At the script reading were Won Jin Ah, SF9’s Rowoon, Lee Hyun Wook, Lee Joo Bin, Lee Kyu Han, Wang Bit Na, Ha Yun Kyung, Kang Hye Jin, child actress Park So Yi, as well as director Lee Dong Yoon and screenwriter Chae Yoon.

 

To kick off the session, director Lee Dong Yoon said, “I’m truly thankful to be able to work with the best actors who are perfect for their roles. This drama will be about various kinds of romance. It will also tell the love stories of other couples, not just the main characters.”

 

Won Jin Ah, who will play Yoon Song Ah, a professional brand marketer at a cosmetics company, said, “It feels special that for the first time, the atmosphere seems like I’m with family even before we’ve begun.” She continued, “I will my do my best alongside my co-stars to create a perfect drama.”

Rowoon, who will be the straightforward hoobae cosmetics brand marketer Chae Hyun Seung, commented, “I’ll work hard while learning, having fun, and depending on others.” During the script reading, Won Jin Ah and Rowoon showed off perfect chemistry as they transformed into their characters.

 

 

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun Wook portrayed his mature character Lee Jae Shin, and Lee Joo Bin showed off her role as Lee Hyo Joo, who is cold but lovable. Additionally, Lee Kyu Han will be Lee Jae Woon, the brother of Lee Hyo Joo and the marketing director of the cosmetics company.

 

Wang Bit Na plays Chae Ji Seung, the CEO of a wedding dress shop, while Ha Yun Kyung portrays Chae Yeon Seung, the mother of Park So Yi’s character and the sister of Chae Ji Seung and Chae Hyun Seung. The trio showed off their realistic back-and-forth as siblings at the reading.

 

Furthermore, Kang Hye Jin, who is better known as the YouTuber Hey Jini, will be the entertaining Kim Ga Young, Yoon Song Ah’s best friend.

 

The drama’s production team commented, “The teamwork and chemistry among the actors was so great that the atmosphere was undoubtedly great as well. Everyone is doing their best so that this good energy can be relayed to our viewers. Please look forward to it.”

 

“Sunbae, Don’t Put on That Lipstick” premieres in the first half of 2021 following the conclusion of “Live On,” starring NU’EST’s Minhyun and Jung Da Bin.

I can't believe they kissed for a poster (already!) I'm not ready for kisses yet, lol. That said, since this is more of an adult drama Rowoon will have to show some good kissing skills coz what we got in Extraordinary You was really kiddy, lol. I hope they release more posters and character posters soon. *Squealsssss* and also hope Rowoon has improved further in acting too after Extraordinary You. No idea of the shade. Guess we'll find out whether it's all lipstick or the shade of the lipstick.
