When Lee Jong Suk heard the rumors that he was dating Suzy Bae, he was surprised. He said that it would have been hard to date her since they never actually met.
That is no longer true. Lee Jong Suk and miss A's Suzy Bae have not only been introduced, they are spending some time together. The singer-actress and "Pinocchio" star are filming a commercial for BBQ Chicken, a friend chicken restaurant chain. According to Ilgan Sports, they began shooting the first scenes on Jan. 27.
The chemistry in that commercial could lead to something more dramatic, including the possibility of pairing the two in a drama together. When Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye paired up for a sportswear fashion shoot, the resulting photographs showed how good the actors looked standing next to each other. And it may have led drama producers to cast them in the same drama.
With any luck k-drama fans may soon see Lee Jong Suk and Suzy in a drama together.
Lee Jong Suk has had a string of successful dramas in the last few years. Before playing an idealistic reporter in "Pinocchio" he played a North Korean defector doctor in "Doctor Stranger" and a boy who could read minds in "I Hear Your Voice."
Suzy has not been in a drama since she appeared as the girl who loved Lee Seung Gi's half-gumiho character in the 2013 fantasy drama "Gu Family Book."
Suzy was considering a role in an upcoming drama "Girl Who Can See Smells." Park Yoochun was mentioned as being the first choice for the leading man, but he has not yet confirmed his participation. But her schedule was too full.
On Jan. 28, Suzy's agency, JYP Entertainment told MyDaily that she declined the role.
"Suzy has to turn down the casting offer for "Girl Who Can See Smells" due to her schedule. Unfortunately she will not be able to star in that drama."
Suzy's busy schedule includes comeback activities with her group miss A. The group released their latest studio album "Hush" in November 2013.
"Girl Who Can See Smells" will be shown after the drama "Hyde, Jekyll and Me" ends. It tells the story of a man who became a detective after his sister was murdered and a woman who survived the same unsolved murder case. She survives the case with a supernatural ability that may ultimately help solve the case that traumatized them both.
