The new project is called Lightly, Ardently, a
(working) title that’s meant to be contradictory; the first word speaks
of a thoughtless kind of love, while the second suggests
deeply emotional.
The drama tells the story of a couple who were painfully separated in
an ill-fated relationship, who meet again later as total opposites, one
as a haughty superstar and the other as a documentary PD. I have no
trouble imagining Kim Woo-bin as a Hallyu singer-actor megastar, with a
sharp brain and ultra-cynical personality.
Suzy will be attempting an
image transformation (let’s all cross our fingers on this one), going
from innocent and sweet to an extremely servile, feeble, but also
materialistic character who has no pride when it comes to money. That’s
quite the mix of traits, but sounds like it’ll make for an interesting
character. The romance will start off prickly but develop into a more
ardent connection, and knowing writer Lee, the developing melo will be
sure to tug, if not break, our hearts.
It’s true that Lee’s most recent drama, weekend family series Wonderful Season,
wasn’t quite as successful as her others, though she’s done much better
in the miniseries melodrama format (her bread and butter, really).
There’s still lots of time to see how this one develops, since the
casting has been confirmed pretty early in the process; Lightly, Ardently is being planned for a 2016 airdate.
