Poster shoot photos from tvN’s upcoming Nine
by javabeans
It isn’t very much, but at least we get a glimpse into the tvN time-traveling drama Nine: Nine Time Travels (or, to avoid redundancy, just Nine), which stars Lee Jin-wook as a quantum-leaping news anchor who jumps back twenty years and is out to solve a crime.
Unlike Queen In-hyun’s Man (which is the producing duo’s prior drama), he’s capped at nine trips back in time, adding another level of suspense to the proceedings. Ack, don’t get stuck! Could you just imagine the horrors? Not just of being stuck in the wrong era, but of literally having to relive the events of your own life, all twenty years of it? All while avoiding your younger self, lest you do something to negate current self’s existence? Eep!
These newly released stills are B-cuts from the poster shoot, and include co-star Jo Yoon-hee as our hero’s reporter colleague and love interest. We’ve got some info on additional cast members as well, such as Oh Min-seok, whom I most recently saw playing the successful shoe designer Jake in I Do, I Do. In this drama he plays a surgical resident and Jo Yoon-hee’s boyfriend. But… Lee Jin-wook! I smell conflict.
Another supporting role goes to one of our rebellious students in the recently wrapped School 2013, Lee Yi-kyung, who played a character with the same name. Ha, he’s going counter to that hot-headed troublemaker image this time by playing the model student. He explained finding that to be more difficult than acting out as the ruffian, since it requires him to pull back and take a quieter look at the character. Less is more, that’s for sure. His will be a relatively minor role, but it’s nice to see him popping up again — his character really grew on me in School as the peacemaker of his trio who was most willing to just admit he loved his bros already.
Nine will follow Flower Boy Next Door and premieres on March 11.

My first time hearing about it but I have to admit, I'm intrigued. Time travel with a travel cap... hmmmm.

Love the plot. If it's back to 20 years it'd be cool to have some "hide from previous self" shenanigans.

And on another note the troublemakers of School sure made an impact, remember reading an article of the "reformed troublemaker" getting a role too.

I feel so proud - almost like a mother or something - when I hear about the School 2013 boys getting other roles. I'm so excited for them~

Of course I will watch, but can't wait for the day where this haircut dies a grim and ugly death never to be seen again!

I hate both of their hairstyles. That bubble bob looks good on no one - it makes the face look broad, and given the twig-like nature of most actress' bodies they end up looking like a Tootsie Roll Pop (I always felt this way about Callista Flockhart, too).
And his hairstyle is just all sorts of ugly - it makes his forehead look huge, and the curve of his skull makes it look like his hairline is receding and he is wearing a wig. A balding hero, is this really what they were going after?

I thought it over, since it is so significant (LOL) I think he needs a more forward-moving hairstyle, like the way Jaejoong usually styles his (gale-force winds at his back!).

Lee Jin woks hair is kind of weird here, but I think on film it will be another story. After seeing him in I need Romance 2012 I firmly believe he able to rock any hairstyle known to man... He was off the charts hot in that drama! (I say that despite having had a alarmingly bad and still unresolved case of second lead syndrome for his BFF Kim Ji suk in that drama).

No opinion of my own yet! I've seen her in Lie to Me and she was forgettable and flat there but apparently in her latest drama she was a real hit. So, she may just be really charming and awesome but needs the right drama to show it.

I saw her in You Who Rolled In Unexpectedly and I think her character was cute and charming. Her couple with the guy (don't remember his name) was my favorite in the show. ^^

Lee Jin-wook after Yoon Shi-yoon. TVN I love you. TVN is the cure to my kdrama addiction, can't watch bleh shows anymore. After School 2013 I only watch FBND. Okay that makes me want to squee at Enrique. I Hope he'll take Dokmi to Camp Nou, so that Dokmi can propose to him there, yes Dokmi... Monday please be here already..

Lee Jin Wook has been in quite a few dramas mostly as second lead. Last year he was in I Need Romance 2 as first lead. He was second lean in Myong Wol The Spy in 2011.
I personally love him, so I admit to some bias. But yeah, he has serious charisma.

Watch him on Strong Heart. He's quite fascinating and adorable.

Ahaha, I loved him on Strong Heart. Definitely do that, Moko. He's a unique guy. It should be the first two episodes of Lee Dong Wook's strong heart stint.

Aww, yay for you Lee Yi-kyung! I blame the high school setting for all the fuzzy pride I feel whenever I see that cast finding new projects.
As for Nine: torn between being excited for it to start and wanting it to stay far, far away because it'll mean FBND is over.

I plan to check this out, purely based on my love for Queen In Hyun's Man - if it comes from the same people, it's possible it'll be just as - or almost as - awesome, right? :P

I am really quite excited for this, and I'm liking the cast so far :) And of course I have high expectations considering how awesome QIHM was. (I'm so proud of Lee Yi Kyung too~ :) )

FBND is going to be some pretty big shoes to fill (YSY, I love you!). I already hate the HAIR. I am not seducted by time travelling (except when it's Ji Hyun Woo doing it), and I pretty much don't like crime dramas. So Nine just went down the drain for me. Ah! so little good (in my opinion) dramas to see this season.

I'll watch because of Queen In Hyun’s Man. I'm really interested in what the leading man will be like since Boong Do is still the best male character written in...forever.
