‘A Gentleman’s Dignity’ Hints at Scriptwriter’s Love for Hyun Bin

Kim Eun Sook, screenwriter for the SBS drama A Gentleman’s Dignity, has been slipping in little references to her favorite writers, actors and pieces here and there, leading another fun hunt for detail to take place outside the story of the drama.

First and foremost, Kim Do Jin, the name of Jang Dong Gun’s role in the drama, is actor Won Bin’s real name. Won Bin is known as another actor Kim Eun Sook wants to work with aside from Jang Dong Gun and So Ji Sub.



Kim Eun Hee (Park Joo Mi), the four gentlemen’s first love, had her name taken from the screenwriter of the drama Ghost, who is Kim Eun Sook’s best friend. She even sneaked in an appearance by Go So Young, Jang Dong Gun’s real-life wife, through the page of a newspaper that was flashed briefly on screen.

Some scenes also touched on Kim Eun Sook’s previous piece, Secret Garden.

In the episode that featured CN Blue’s Jung Yong Hwa as a cameo, Jang Dong Gun was caught muttering, “What’s Hyun Bin up to? Is my Bin doing well in the military?”

The school Seo Yi Su (Kim Ha Neul) teaches at also stands out. The name of the high school, Ju Won high school, seems to come from the name of Hyun Bin’s role in Secret Garden, Kim Ju Won.

Netizens reacted to the little finds with comments such as, ‘Is that school from a foundation that Ju Won’s company found?’, ‘Writer Kim remembers Hyun Bin’ and ‘I’m happy to at least be reminded of him this way.’
