Jung II-woo and Lee Chung-ah are cast as the leads for the drama Flower Boy Ramyun Shop.
In the drama, Lee Chung-ah plays will play Yang Eun-bi, a former volleyball player and current gym class student teacher at a high school, who falls in love with a high school student played by Jung II-woo. Jung Il-woo will play Cha Chi-soo, the conceited son to the country’s biggest food product conglomerate. But underneath his cold demeanor there is a lot of pureness and wholesomeness!
To complicate the picture, Lee Ki-woo cast as the third lead is Choi Gang-Hyuk, a “genius chef” who comes to Korea from Japan. He ends up inheriting the Ramyun Shop that was once owned by the recently deceased father of Yang Eun-bi. Lee Ki-woo was released from the army September 1st of 2011 and cast by September 7th! Talk about getting back to work fast!

Delight in all the colors of Jung II-woo: Yes…that would be a cooler title… “All the colors of Jung II-woo!” Yeah!
This is the last episode of this amazing trip! He did a lot of things here. It starts with Jung II-woo visiting “Chemainus,” a beautiful little town in Vancouver Island known for its beautiful outdoor murals. According to their website:
He then goes whale watching, scooting and more…see it all in the videos. For these again Vimeo is the best. The YouTube ones were not complete. And after that there is video that takes you through all its touristic areas of Chemainus…it makes you feel like you are walking there! And the tourist guide who Jung II-woo took a photo with is there too!

At one point in this trip, Jung II-woo also did a short interview for “Vancouver Fashion Week.” You can see the photos below and a the short article afterwards. It was translated via Google, and though it’s not great, you can get a sense of his fashion taste. Cr. VFW (Vancouver Fashion Week)
Interview:
Mr. Jung Il responded to the interview without expressions of such kind of grief, as it would have been serious as he was shooting without correcting the time difference adaptation after a long flight, but in a short interview Although it was fun, I talked with VFW together. How did he think about Vancouver? What is your fashion preference? It is exactly here. Let’s see together.
Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW): Did you finish the drama the other day? How did you spend these days?
– Recently ’49 days’ After finishing the drama shoot, I went to school, after completing the semester, I had various interviews and picture shooting a little, I did a bit of such things, this time Vancouver ambassador public relations ambassador photography, advertisement shooting So I came this way. And this time there is a reality TV shoot with MTV, which will be broadcast to 14 countries, so I went to this shoot.
VFW: It should have been looked around briefly, how is your impression?
– The city was very beautiful and I was a little surprised. And the fact is that the city likes the city and seems to be a bit quiet as it seems to want to study in Vancouver, so it feels very good.
VFW: What kind of clothing do you like to wear?
– It is a person who wears clothes slimly, and it is, I think that it is a simple wearing clothes.
VFW: Are there items to collect with special attachment?
– There is a brand called ‘GOLDEN GOOSE’, I like that shoes and I’m collecting it, I do not do a lot of accessories. Although it is said to be a ring or a clock degree? It is a person who is about that degree, I think that it is better to wear it as neatly as possible.
VFW: There are about 200 models on the runway at VFW, but if model suggestions come in, what kind of clothing fashion show would you like to stand for?
– Well, for the moment, if clothes fit perfectly with my body, I do not think clothes are related, facts I do not know how Vancouver shows will proceed and I do not know well what kind of concept it is Although it is not, still like the suit I feel as if it is cute if I wear it perfectly slimly to the bare body, yeah, I would like to stand if I propose it. I’m honored, I am. . (Laughing)
VFW: Please send me a message to fashion rubbers.
– I also love clothes very much, I like clothes so much that if I make money I hardly use money to buy clothes. I like clothes very much, but I also want to see if I can get an invitation this time if it is this time, and that is, I will do a lot of good works from now on, please expect me, thank you for loving me.
Well and that concludes Jung II-woo’s trip to Vancouver. I am so glad I found those Vimeo videos in the end. They placed everything in the right time and context for me. It taught me that YouTube does not have everything, so from now on I will check Vimeo as well!
What an amazing trip Jung II-woo! Thank you for taking us to Vancouver… I would love to replicate his trip someday! …minus the bungee jumping, and the mountain biking. The zip-lining is a maybe! 🙂
Hi! I found the Vimeo videos that show that perfect progression of this trip…after I had posted about this trip. Fortunately, I did well in the first four days, but from this point on, this is a re-edited version, that will not coincide with my Instagram Feed.
On Day 5, Jung II-woo spent time at a farm, and then he spent time doing one of his favorite things: cooking! and a little down time at the beach. I included a video of the song they play while he’s a t the beach. I think Jung II-woo liked this song at the time. He mentioned it somewhere else…though I can’t remember where! Cr. MTV
On the BC Ferries:
At Morning Star Farm:
Cooking and Chilling at a Resort in Kitsilano Beach:
This is the day Jung II-woo goes Bungee jumping. I’m always in awe when I see these videos because he is so fearless! I could never do that… I would loose it right at the part they tie my feet together!
The first video by Vimeo is the best…the whole thing is there, the YouTube ones are bit by bit…
Video 3333 and 4444 I think are about a prank they played on Jung II-woo…I think they were supposed to go zip-lining or something and I guess they pretend and tell Il-woo that they are too late. The Canadian guide gets upset and walks off! …I totally bought it! And so did Il-woo who goes from being upset in video 3333 to embarrassed in video 4444. I think the woman who is afraid to bungee jump comes up with the plan. Korean speakers am I right? That is what I understand… It is pretty great to see Jung II-woo feel real emotions! Not act them…
In the last video you can see Jung II-woo zip-lining!
