SM Entertainment has revealed that it will be producing a teen drama, set to air this summer, and many are already attempting to guess who will play the lead roles.

The drama SM is planning to produce is 'Hana-Kimi (For You in Full Blossom)', based off a popular Japanese comic book series that was published from 1996 till 2004 and sold over 17 million copies worldwide.

The comic book series, which is well-known amongst domestic comic book fanatics, has already been dramatized in Taiwan as 'The Tricks of Boys and Girls' in 2006. Following this, Japan also recreated the series into a drama and titled it 'For You in Full Blossom: Paradise of Beautiful Men'. Both dramas recorded high viewer ratings in their respective countries and SM has recently bought the rights to the drama.

As news spread of SM's new venture, fans have already begun to take a guess at who will play the lead roles. 'For You in Full Blossom' will be a comical and bright teen drama that takes places in a all-boys high school and will deal with the love, friendship and dreams of beautiful men. With the plot revolving around a girl who dresses up like a boy and enters the high school, one female lead role is needed as well as several male lead roles.

Fans expect to see a mass appearance by members of TVXQ, Super Junior and SHINee. BoA, Lee Yeon Hee, Ara, Girls' Generation and f(x) members are the candidates for the female lead role.

Regarding this, a SM representative stated on the 10th that, "Nothing has been decided upon in terms of the cast," and "Though there is a possibility that we will bring in idols from other entertainment agencies to appear in the drama as well as SM singers, it is too early to confirm or deny anything."

20110223 LYH MYDAILY Interview: Paradise Ranch

► Lee Yeon Hee reveals her feelings on kiss scene with Chang Min,
embarrassing but had to act cool

On the television screen, Lee Yeon Hee gives off a fragile feeling. To guys, she would be the embodiment of their first love. Therefore, people would naturally think that she is fragile. But in reality, Lee Yeon Hee is bright and healthy, her face full of life and bright expressions.

SBS drama "Paradise Meadow" showed Lee Yeon Hee's healthy image, in the valley of Jeju Island, wearing a T-shirt and singing folk songs. This image can’t help but brighten one’s eyes. She said, “Recently, a lot of people have been paying close attention to me, so I feel very happy. There are also a lot of news articles and a lot of support. The character (Da Ji) is really bright so I felt myself become healthier as a result; my family and people around me all really like my character.”

Everyone is also very interested in her scenes with Chang Min, she replied “The staff seemed like they really hope there would be NGs for these scenes. I felt really worried inside and didn’t know what to do and acted cool as if it didn’t matter, but I really felt pressure. Chang Min seemed to feel even more embarrassed and shy.” Lee Yeon Hee smiled as she reminisced about the situation, “I really should have taken more care of Chang Min, but I was I was busy with my own things. Chang Min did a lot better than I had expected, which really surprising.”

Regarding “Paradise Ranch” ratings of 7-8%, she expressed, “Even though it’s like this, the reactions from people around us are enthusiastic; our friends seemed to like it a lot so I’m happy.”

► Compliments Chang Min’s acting is impressive

To Lee Yeon Hee, “Paradise Ranch” is a meaning piece of work.

This is her first time taking on the lead role for a drama series, and the first time working with people her age. She said “Da Ji’s personally is really nice and lively, acting in this character; there were only so many outfits to wear. I play a ranch veterinarian and I need to fall onto horse manure so I can’t wear nice clothes, which is why I only wore those outfits."

Regarding the embarrassing lines in the script, Lee Yeon Hee expressed, “It really was embarrassing. Before filming, I was really worried about what to do but I didn’t worry about it once filming started. I’m normally not that expressive and I don’t like the feeling of being embarrassed, so I just pretended to act cool.”

About Chang Min’s acting, she expressed, “Chang Min? He was quite worried but after watching the broadcast on TV, his acting really is quite good. I’m happy to have worked with him on this drama”

Lee Yeon Hee was evidently happy, as her acting has received a lot of praises although when she first started, she experienced a lot of criticisms, especially during the time for MBC drama “East of Eden”. She stated, “At the time I was very nervous and acknowledged my shortcomings. There were so many talented seniors so my flaws become very obvious.” At that time, Lee Yeon Hee was only 21 years old, a 50 episode drama for someone so young would definitely be burdensome. “I was worried if I would be able to last until the end, the script was difficult and everything was quite hard to accept. Thinking back on it, I feel regretful, why did I have thoughts of resisting? Now, I will deal with everything responsibly.”

She also expressed how she feels in front of the camera: “I still feel a bit nervous, but a lot braver now. Before, because I was young, I was afraid to express freely but now that I’m an adult, I have confidence.”

► Reveals Relationship with Girls Generation

Actress Lee Yeon Hee’s dream, ever since she debuted at 13 years of age, was to film an action movie.

In the afternoon of the 23rd, Lee Yeon Hee accepted an interview at the company building where she told a story about when she met a certain movie company representative. “They asked what did I want to act, I said I wanted to do an action film so they took out a fun, which really gave me a fright; now I know that they were testing the direction of my future development. Until now, I still have that gun and I’ll stand in front of the mirror practicing various shooting positions. When I was younger, I was quite athletic and always got perfect marks for sport so I really want to do an action movie.”

SM Entertainment has a lot of actors and idol groups, Lee Yeon Hee talked about her relationship with her fellow label mates. “I’m very close to Girls Generation but we rarely have time to see each other. They’re very busy and I feel sorry if I have to take them out to a coffee shop (T/N: think she might mean that they’ll get a lot of attention). I’m closest with Jessica and Yoona. When we went to America, all of SM went, standing on the same stage with them was really exciting.” Reporters asked if she’d join Girls Generation as a singer, she responded, “Ah, I’d feel very unnatural and I’m probably drag them down. Even though I received vocal training, my dream is to become an actress.”

When asked when she became prettier, she replied, “When I was small, my mother really liked taking me out and she did it with pride; and she’d always take only me out.”

Lastly, Lee Yeon Hee expressed, “I’ve been really happy recently thanks to filming “Paradise Meadow”. From today onwards, I will show everyone a continuous growing image.”
