After capturing the hearts of teenage girls with “Boys Over Flowers”, it’s time for the noonas.

Kim Bum will play Ha Min Jae in the upcoming MBC drama “The Woman Who Still Wants To Get Married” opposite to Park Jin Hee, whose character is Ha Min Jae’s senior by 12 years. In this drama Kim Bum is a student at Myung Mun University studying business administration, and he is a famous composer on the college streets.

In the drama, Ha Min Jae is a 24 year old college student who grew up with quarreling parents, and acts different from his age. He’s a “bad guy” who doesn’t believe in love. By an ill fate he meets the reporter Lee Shin Young, who is 12 years older than him, and eventually the two will develope a love that was meant to be. Kim Bum will transform into a romantic whose love is so sincere it will make all women envious.

Kim Bum has been called a workaholic after the various projects he did this year, such as “Boys Over Flowers”, “Dream”, and “Bisang”, and he has transformed from pretty boy to tough man and to host.

Park Jin Hee and Kim Bum are 11 years apart, and their acting as a couple has caught the attention of many. The producers for “The Woman Who Still Wants To Get Married” expressed that, “Kim Bum, who has grown a lot through his various projects, is a very charsmatic youth, and he will capture the hearts of many more women, as he has already gotten the anticipation of many noonas.”

As a second season to the 2004 drama “The Woman Who Wants To Get Married,” “The Woman Who Still Wants To Get Married” is about 36 year old women who seek out new lives.

“The Woman Who Still Wants To Get Married” will premiere January 18th, after the ending of MBC drama “Hero”.

Kim Bum is indeed a workaholic. He has fan meetings in Japan all the way until the end of the year, and starting in the new year he will shoot another drama. I think he is experimenting with different roles, since he wants to appeal to everyone.

And what a creepy coincidence this is to So Eun’s latest drama “The Man Who Can’t Get Married”? (The people who wants to get married should just marry each other XD) So Eun’s character developed some feelings for the main character Ji Jin Hee. Although luckily Ji Jin Hee’s character ended up with Uhm Jung Hwa, but Kim Bum’s character will end up with Park Jin Hee.

I don’t know how I feel about this drama. On one hand since there is such a huge age gap, it’s unlikely Kim Bum will develop feelings for her in real life. However, considering he will be a bad guy and shows her real, sincere love, I can see a lot of intense kiss scenes (maybe more). Let me watch the first season and see how it goes.
