Personal Taste (the novel): Part 1
March 7th, 2010 // by javabeans
Cast of characters:
PARK WOO-MIN (who is re-named Park Kae-in in the drama and played by Sohn Ye-jin) is 29 years old. She designs dolls and puppets for children’s television shows and therefore sometimes smells like glue. She’s actually quite cute, but you wouldn’t know it at first (or second) glance because she doesn’t dress herself with care, usually wears big red glasses, and hardly ever wears makeup. Her father is a famous architect who designed the house she lives in, but because her parents now live abroad, she’s there alone. She speaks candidly, is a little naive, and has an upbeat, positive personality. Not quite 4-D, but close.
JEON JIN-HO (Lee Min-ho) is a 31-year-old architect. Tall, handsome, smart. He’s super picky about everything, such as the suits he wears (fashionable), the coffee he drinks (only Blue Mountain!), and the women he dates (therefore currently single). With a brusque manner and impassive face, he’s competent with little time for nonsense. He holds a mid-level position (a manager) at the architecture company where he works alongside his buddy Sang-joon.
HAN SANG-JOON (Jung Sung-hwa) is Jin-ho’s good friend and co-worker, who has known him for more than a decade. Sang-joon is the warm and friendly counterpart, the type who makes easy conversation with strangers. He knows Jin-ho well, and is probably the only guy who’d get away with teasing him. (In the drama, he’s a sunbae. In the book, they’re the same age.)
SEO IN-HEE (Wang Ji-hye) is the stylish fashion-designer friend to Woo-min. Most of their friends think Woo-min is a slob, but In-hee sees her potential and uses Woo-min as a fitting model when designing new garments. When the perfect guy comes along, however, she’s got no problem putting friendship aside by pursuing the man. She’s a fair-weather friend with a cunning mind…
NA HYE-MI (Choi Eun-seo) is 27, but acts much younger as a spoiled princess. She’s not a bad sort, but used to getting what she wants — and she wants Jin-ho. Her parents and Jin-ho’s parents are best friends, and it’s been decided for a while that they would eventually marry. Jin-ho has never been keen to date Hye-mi, whom he sees as a cute younger sister, so Hye-mi has often dated other men. It’s usually when her relationships end that she returns to Jin-ho. She lives in Canada now, but has come unannounced to Korea at the urging of both their parents to get Jin-ho to propose and settle their marriage for good.
TAE-HOON (Im Seul-ong), Hye-mi’s friend from high school, loves Hye-mi and watches over her with care and consideration. He respects Jin-ho as a hyung but doesn’t think Jin-ho loves Hye-mi, and therefore urges him to put an end to their not-quite-relationship.
Note that Kim Ji-suk’s character (HAN CHANG-RYUL) is not in the book; he seems to have taken on some elements of Jin-ho’s friend Sang-joon, but is presented more as a standard rival.
Jo Eun-ji’s character is also not in the book. It looks like she’s added in the drama as a more traditional friend type.
Ahn Seok-hwan plays the father of Woo-min’s playboy ex. (I wonder if the playboy ex will be Kim Ji-suk’s character, or if they’ll give those traits to someone else.)
Ryu Seung-ryong plays the planning director of a museum project that Jin-ho is trying to acquire. His drama character has a different name than his book character, which makes me think that they’re changing the character a little. |

果真看中字的感觉是不一样的，完全荡漾在全小K的眼神中。
仁熙太极品了，脸皮够厚，我佩服~~她要勾引男主么，其实这种桥段我每次看到都觉得很奇怪，女二就算知道自己在男一面前已经没有人格可言了，还是自信满满认为自己能勾引到男一，真不知道是对自己太自信还是她觉得男一太弱智~
