Romance-tinged poster for period noir Age of Feeling
by javabeans
Soooo many pretty pictures for Age of Feeling. All we’ve got to go on so far is pictures, so I’m keeping in mind that a whole lot can go awry in the space between still photos and live action, but still — it’s nice when all you have to look at can at least be a treat for the eyes.
Above is the freshly released poster for the drama, which is pretty simple but does a great job at evoking the “romantic noir” angle that this show is pushing. And below are a bevy of character stills of the main and supporting cast, including hero Kim Hyun-joong, Jin Se-yeon, and Kim Gab-soo, among others.
I think we’re entering the part of the promo cycle where we’ve exhausted what there is to say about the show (as in, we’ve gotten new promos but no additional info to comment upon), so I’ll just leave it to the photos to do the talkin’.
Age of Feeling premieres January 15, taking up the Wednesday-Thursday timeslot on KBS.

Rare comment on Dramabeans about how good an actress looks instead of how awesome oppa's chocolate abs are:
Jin Se Yeon looks cute in the teasers so far. I hope she does well in this drama.
As for Kim Hyun Joong, I'm just happy for him that this drama will make it on air. After it Age of Feeling got delayed, I thought he was cursed. As a guy, I find him likeable, but I hope he has improved his acting somewhat, because his looks won't do anything for me.

Gaksital, is a big budget drama but not much hype about it because of the unknown and relatively new leads but turn out to be badass and awesome and I hope with all the pictures and hype circulating Age of Feeling before its premiere, it will be good and worth it.
AoF fighting!!!

I have to say that the lead actress looks gorgeous (despite the awkward out of place peace signs)! I love love love the posters but it gives me this kind of skepticism.
You see I loved the posters for heirs but my goodness what a complete let-down the show was. I hope this one doesn't follow a similar pattern.
I also have a lot of doubts when it comes to Kim Hyun Joong's acting. I mean come on. He seems like a nice person but can he carry this show? If I'm basing on his performance on Mischievous Kiss/Playful Kiss then I'm giving a solid...NO!
But, besides him, I think this show is doing good. People have been focusing on KHJ too much.
Looking forward for more!

The posters do look good.

Daniella,
Idol actors have given me pause in the past, BUT so many have improved and I enjoyed their performances...Krystal in Heirs, Jung Yong Hwa in Mirae's Choice, Yoona in The Prime Minister and I.
Wishing the same here for KHJ.

Dramabeans, well you guys be recapping this drama once it airs? thank you :)

Aww, I didn't know Kwak Dong Yeon was in this. He gave such an endearing performance in Adolescence Medley, I'm looking forward to seeing him in something else.
Even if this doesn't sound all that promising, I'm rooting for it to be good. The supporting cast is at least pretty solid, lots of familiar faces (hey there Soo!!) and awesome veterans. I really love this era so I hope they do it justice. I've never seen the writers' previous works and out of the PD's stuff I've only seen Sweet 18 (so adorable, but obviously completely different from this show) so I have no idea what to expect. But hey, hope the PD can bring out some sort of emotion in Kim Hyun Joong. Miracles can happen!! ;')

This is one of those dramas where the leads don't interest me and make me want to avoid them, but the supporting cast is simply amazing! With all these famous faces and wonderful actors in the cast, I hope the leads prove me wrong and pull in some decent performances.
I seem to find that the dramas I go into with a low bar tend to satisfy me the most, so hesitantly looking forward to this...

aah, kwak dong yeon!! love him since You Who Rolled Unexpectedly and Adolescence Medley. This guy really has potential as an amazing actor. i hope his agency (FNC, CNBlue's) won't make him become an idol. i'm only a year older than him, but i'm still his noona, right?? :)
and kim gab soo!!! my biggest ahjussi crush also in this drama!!!
and i also quiet enjoyed gaksital although that drama itself wasn't flawless anyway.
if this drama is good, maybe i will watch it

This is an awesome legitimate looking poster and not the usual CF looking ones. Everything looks pretty and vibey. Hope it will be good! Hyunjoong is still handsome but not pretty flower handsome like he was in BOF.

So many awesome looking stills showcasing their whole cast. This drama looks potentially good. Am gonna be cautiosly hopeful about it since kim hyun joong's acting aint nothing to write home about unless he magically improved in this drama. What I (and most of beanies here i think) would want to know is, where is kim jae wook ?!?!?! To the people who created these creative wonderful looking posters, I love you but I need to see KJW in it. Is this gonna be another fiasco like what happened in jang ok jung where the suppsoedly "second" lead showed up in the middle of the drama and had a total of less than 40 minutes scenes througout the whole drama?

Why are people critical of KHJ when he has done only 2 full length dramas so far. And its not so bad either. More dramas mean more practice. He was into music more than acting. C'mon, there are actors more wooden out there that eventually improved in time.
IG will not be similar to Gaksital except for the time frame and the anti-Japanese sub theme.
A major theme is the coming of age of Shin Jung Tae with the 1930's background. Which explain why KHJ is given importance because he is the lead after all. Let's keep an open mind and hope they (the cast) all deliver.
IG is one giant puzzle-even the small piece is important for the whole picture to be appreciated. In short don't put too much pressure on KHJ though he is the human face of the drama. It is to his credit that he took in the drama knowing it will involve a lot of efforts .Why do you think the other actors didn't sign in? IG is not your ordinary, simple drama. The shooting alone in other countries in these forbidding winter months are discouraging enough but KHJ still took the challenge.
A slew of actors from previous dramas are there which is the practice in TV land. These supporting cast is the backbone of TV production-they have the skills, the specialization in roles. versatility and other traits recognized by the industry. Viewers relate to them because they are familiar faces.
Another theme is nationalism which Korean dramas like to include all the time whether in antiquity or modern /postmodern times.
I will definitely watch all 24 episodes -to the last drop.

Definitely agree with you! And yes, I'm a KHJ fan and I'm proud to be one!
Although people are sometimes gifted with acting talent, it is also a craft that can be improved with practice and hardwork, and I believe he has improved from seeing City Conquest BTS videos.
Looking forward to watching this in January!

hohummmm....here we go again with comments about not recognizing KHJ (and this has been going on in almost all of DB articles about him)...! call me blind but ...really??? coz he looks the same to me..a little bit mature and manly but to the point of not recognizing???

December 20, 2013 at 2:23 PM
I totally agree! He already admitted to his nose job in 2011, so no need to bring it up in EVERY article. His good looks is like a double-edged sword for him - whether or not people find him handsome, they always end up making some comment about how he looks. His "flower boy" looks were abandoned almost 3 years ago after Playful Kiss ended....but I hardly think he's unrecognizable.
Anyhow, I'm personally looking forward to this drama! I think it's going to be exciting and intriguing and can't wait to watch KHJ on the small screen again...it's been too long!

I'm going to hate the period Western costumes in this show, I can already tell. I can't look at the singer characters pictures in that dress without groaning and, even if it's a good show I think I'll be jolted out of the story every time I see her and others on screen, so hopefully the kimono girl will be getting more screen time, LOL.
Still, I want this show to be awesome so KHJ can impress everyone! He looks so much older and serious now, I seriously did not recognize him and hope his acting has matured along with the rest of him.

This bugs me as well. Costume designers etc never seem to get it right. Especially with the men's hair styles and their hats. Shanghai in the 30's was a very stylish and cosmopolitan city. Women in movies of the era wore such beautiful gowns and looked so good in them. The fabric was mostly cut on the bias and was so flattering to a slim figure. The gown in the singer looks way too bunchy to me.
I also didn't recognize KHJ. He seemed so wispy in what little I saw of BoF but he has become very manly indeed. I'm looking forward to this drama but I suspect I also will be groaning over the costume faux pas.

I'm noticing there are a lot of idol actor who suck, and then suddenly do an amazing job when they get a character they care about. Maybe that will happen for KHJ- and I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but his broken nose gives him a super manly feeling. I think he looks better!

For me the nuances of these multi-faceted individuals adds to the charm of their performances. For example KHJ's music videos are perhaps far superior to his acting in a drama, but he was adorable in Barefoot Friends and the most real of any I've followed. Lee Min Ho, by his own admission, is not singer yet his tour was cute and entertaining and no one expected perfection. This list could go on and on with idol/actors/actresses shining in one realm and perhaps less so in others. To all the critics I wonder if they're all perfect in all areas. I look forward to this drama and would watch it just for KHJ because of who is he overall.
