Wonderful Radio pushes back premiere

Looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer to see Wonderful Radio, the romantic comedy starring Lee Min-jung (Midas) and Lee Jung-jin (Runaway). Man, we’ve been on pins and needles to see it since the project was first announced. Boo. It was originally scheduled to be released by the end of the year, but the premiere’s now been pushed to January. Here’s a look at a slew of stills from the production to sate our appetites till then.

Wonderful Radio is about a pop-singer-turned-radio-DJ, played by Lee Min-jung, who headlines a flailing radio program on the brink of cancellation. (I hope there are some awesome old-school girl group flashbacks for her, a la Best Love‘s Gu Ae-jung.) Lee Jung-jin plays the hot but gruff PD hired to revive the program and save the sinking ship. They butt heads over their different ideas on how to raise ratings and save the show, which of course leads to cute bickering romance. Can’t wait.

The stills feature Lee Min-jung looking beautiful and Lee Jung-jin looking pouty (as per his character), and what looks like a guest cameo by the always funny Kim Tae-won of rock band Boohwal. I can’t tell if he’s playing a bartender or himself, but it could go either way since the premise is set in showbiz anyway. I really want this movie to live up to its cast and premise, which I hope is kind of impossible to screw up. *knock on wood*

Wonderful Radio premieres in theaters in January.
