Son Ye Jin – Hyun Bin both had these first-time experiences in their careers by starring in each other’s works
Many viewers wonder if these “first times” of Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin were simply coincidental or the two’s intentions.
From on-screen romantic partners to dating in real life, Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin are currently the couple that makes viewers look forward to their fairy-tale wedding the most. Not only did they work together in 3 productions, looking back at the two’s careers, viewers also noticed that they happened to have different first-time experiences in their careers in the drama and movie with the other’s participation.
1. Son Ye Jin made her first and only cameo appearance in Hyun Bin’s drama
The reason why Son Ye Jin – Hyun Bin have co-starred 3 times is because a few years before they worked together in 2 productions as the leads, the gorgeous actress used to make a cameo appearance in Secret Garden, her boyfriend’s hit drama. At that time, Son Ye Jin was an A-list actress who had never played a cameo in any drama, Secret Garden was the first time Son Ye Jin accepted to appear as a cameo. Even until now, this was still the only time Son Ye Jin made a cameo appearance in a drama. Looking back at the “coincidence” 11 years ago, many viewers even believe that Hyun Bin might have “caught Son Ye Jin’s eyes” since then.
2. Hyun Bin had his first and only villain role in a movie with Son Ye Jin
Not Crash Landing On You, The Negotiation was the first production that Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin co-starred as leads. However, their characters are on two opposing sides. Notably, The Negotiation is the first and only film up to now that Hyun Bin takes on a villain role.
In the film, Hyun Bin has to completely get rid of the image of a neat and handsome gentleman to transform into a murder criminal with a much older look than the actor in real life. Back then, viewers only thought that Hyun Bin wanted to challenge himself with a different kind of character, but later, viewers doubt that Hyun Bin probably accepted the offer to star in The Negotiation because of Son Ye Jin.
