First trailer for 49 Days
by javabeans
Here’s our first look at body-possession drama 49 Days, which is looking more and more promising.
The SBS series has released its first teaser (watch below), which gives us (very) brief glimpses into the lives of its main characters. And there are a lot of them, most of whom I’m eager to see acting: Lee Yo-won as the woman whose body is taken over by the soul of a woman whose body is in a coma (Nam Gyuri), Jung Il-woo as the handsome young reaper, Bae Soo-bin as the fiancé to the soul (not the body), Seo Ji-hye as a frenemy, and Jo Hyun-jae as…well, I’m not so sure who he is. But he’s our main lead and therefore, one presumes, main love interest.
The teaser itself is meant to tantalize more than give any concrete answers, and if the series is able to maintain the interesting, mysterious atmosphere of the preview, I’m in. The story itself has got a lot of appeal, and I’m intrigued to see how it all fits together. Plus, well, those are some pretty, pretty boys in the cast — never enough to sustain a drama alone, but always a nice bonus.
49 Days premieres following Sign on March 16, and airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays on SBS.

The trailer left no impression on me, but I suppose it's more interesting and makes more sense than Midas' trailer.

LOL, this is what we call "FANTASY" drama, what's in your fantasy? free yourself to fantasize, everything could be happened in fantasy world.
MIDAS is such a real bussiness drama, different type from 49 DAYs

I like the show's premise! I guess I kinda have a thing for these kind of comedic stories which revolve around death, ghosts and/or body possession like Drop Dead Diva and Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies etc.
And that reminds me, I've got to catch "Hello Ghost" if and when it's available, and maybe I should check out "Who Are You" when I have time to spare.
And even though Nam Gyuri's in a coma, not dead, her 'soul' looks pretty creepy. I think it's her doll-like make up which gives me the jitters.

OK, I already very excited before. Of course! With that casts (even with Nam Gyu-ri), if there anyone not interested at all, I will say "Are U kidding me?!" But now with that preview, its a done deal. I'm completely sold. I WILL NOT miss this drama.

Agree, at first maybe people doubt about Nam Gyu Ri, but when this's happening, she really fits that role to be a "spooky spirit".
no, i'm not kidding..
her character adds this show to be completelely MUST WACTH !! hehheee.....
ooh and i love Lee Yo Won's smirk, little bit scarry but great, and yeah, she with Jung il Woo steal this show... !

Yes, Jo Hyun Jae is the lead male in "Only You" with HCY. He is cute back then, now he's AWESOME. He's like fine wine - gets better as he ages. Although he looks younger now than when he did "Only You".

Ghost? I thought she was in a coma with souls being swapped. I don't remember anyone dying?
But it still creeps me out how her normal face can resemble a ghost so much.

And goddammit, why isn't Bae Soo Bin the lead?
This drama has broken my heart cuz BSB isn't gonna get
the girl in th end, and it hasn't even started!
I haven't seen anything from Jung Il Woo, but I've always heard some good stuff so I'm excited to actually watch him in something (Return to Iljimae is on my to watch list) but even if his acting disappoints, he is one pretty man to look at ;)
