Lee Na-Young is in like Flint.

Dramabeans 6/16/2010 —Lee Na-young has been finalized as Rain’s co-star in the action-spy drama Runaway, which makes it her first drama in six years (since 2004’s Ireland). Having played quirky characters in the past (and a transgender role in her most recent movie, Dad Likes Women), this drama will give her a chance to showcase a completely different image from her previous roles.

Lee stars as Jin-yi, who approaches main character Ji-woo (Rain) under false pretenses. In order to get close to her objective, she becomes entangled with Ji-woo, and afterward the two must lie to each other repeatedly to cover up their real motives. Naturally, he ends up falling for her in this “unique romance.” Jin-yi is a woman who appears innocent on the outside, but possesses a sexy charm and has a “cat-like” quality as she keeps her true intentions hidden.

According to Lee’s reps at KeyEast, she chose the role because “It stands out with its high-quality script and a female lead character who has a fresh appeal that hasn’t been seen before.” ….

Oh merciful heavens.  Just take in that plot line and the dance of the two characters.  We are so stoked, we can hardly stand it.  This is going to be so GOOD.

And by the way:  In like Flint (a la the James Coburn movie of the same title) is a term used to describe when one is in a very favorable position, or when one has just acquired special position by means of extreme luck.

NOT to be confused with “in like Flynn,” ( a la screen idol Errol Flynn), which has more to do with being really lucky in getting sex, at least in my mind.  Thought I’d clear that up.
