More stills from 49 Days
by javabeans
Several more stills are out for fantasy drama 49 Days, featuring Nam Gyuri (Life Is Beautiful) as the Girl Who Has Everything who gets knocked into a coma and gets a second chance at life using Lee Yo-won’s (Queen Seon-deok) body.
Above, Nam’s character is pictured with her best friends, Bae Geu-rin (You’re Beautiful) and Seo Ji-hye (Kim Suro). While the latter is a cold city girl and has a bit of a rivalry going with Nam, Bae’s character finds herself caught between the two.
The drama also features Jo Hyun-jae (Three Dads, One Mom) as an architect from the States, and Bae Soo-bin (Dong Yi) as Nam’s U.S.-educated MBA fiancé, who pose together below while on the drama’s set.
Then there’s Jung Il-woo, who rocks a new perm and some fancy headphones (apparently it’s part of his character’s shtick, and I foresee potential trend material there) as Nam’s good-looking spiritual guide in the afterlife. Or, should I say, almost-afterlife, since she’s got 49 days to win herself back a chance at earthly living.
Thanks to the drama’s premise, Nam Gyuri has been stuck wearing one dress for the past month, and to make things worse, it’s a bridesmaid dress. Nam’s character tries on the (satin-trimmed, bowed, and caped — why choose when you can have all three?) dress meant to be worn by her bridesmaids (with the requisite matchy-matchy pink pumps), which is when she gets stuck in her coma. *Shudder* Bad luck, or karmic retribution?
(Say what you will, brides, but the bridesmaid dress will never be comfortable and, despite your best intentions, will totally not be worn again, like for regular parties and stuff. What, do I sound bitter? I’m not. I’m sure that floor-length pink silk gown with ruched sides totally made some girl a nice prom dress.)
49 Days premieres on March 13, following Sign.

this sounds interesting :) these days I'm more interested in dramas with an actual storyline rather than those high-budgeted star studded dramas lol
btw, lee yo won is one of those girls who doesn't need heavy make up to look naturally pretty O___O

"What, do I sound bitter? I’m not. I’m sure that floor-length pink silk gown with ruched sides totally made some girl a nice prom dress."
LOL. Javabeans, you kill me.
But, yes, I'm really looking forward to this drama (ok, Jung Il-woo's permed perfection more than anything), it seems really interesting. I really like the premise and hope they really do something great with it. I need a new crack to replace Dream High.

I'm worried this is going to another hyped up drama that is going to fail to deliver. Fingers crossed. There have been so many endings (Secret Garden, My Princess, Dream High) recently, I am in need of a good replacement.

Nam Gyuri is so doll like pretty. If the rumors are right, that she got her fixed, props to the doctors, they're doing it right!
( this is real compliment y'know! I really think she's pretty )
Story is interesting, but I don't really like Lee Yo won, so I'll wait the response of first few eps before I'd jump in.

The fabric they used for that dress is gogeous.
I am so looking forward to this one.
I hope JIW is on screen a lot a LOT.
I hope they give him opportunities for small and quiet moments so he can do those things with his face that break my heart even thinking about ROI.

Did my eyes deceive me or do Lee Yo Won looks even younger than the rest of girls? I see why they choose her for this. This woman look amazingly young. Can you believe she actually a mom?! They give her messiest look, but somehow she still rock it.

Hahaha it's March 16 JB, not 13. Guess you're too excited for this drama and unconsciously want it to start air faster :D Btw hilarious comment, JB, regarding NGR dress LOL.
Anyway, I'm also waiting eagerly for this drama. Story so unique and interesting. Been long time waiting for LYW comeback. I know JHJ-JIW fans also happily anticipating their return to TV. Hope everything will continue to be great.

Looking at Nam Gyu-Ri's bridesmaid dress, I'm so grateful that my friend chose a reasonable bridesmaid dress for us last year. I bet her character chose that caped mess so that all the bridesmaids would look dowdy compared to her.
anyways, can't wait till 49 days!! and Jung Il Woo!!!

looking at the photos of the bridesmaid dress....... the bow is different in some shots. the afterlife fails in continuity.
yeah, i don't have an intelligent thought apart from that, i'm afraid.

What an extremely good-looking cast! I'll have a hard time choosing the male to root for, haha.
I also like the dress, minus the cape. Nam Gyuri should ditch the BB-cream and circle lenses, though :D She'd look pretty without them, as well.
