Stills and behind-the-scenes smiles for Age of Feeling

Stills and behind-the-scenes smiles for Age of Feeling

by javabeans

All the promotional stills of KBS’s romantic action noir Age of Feeling are looking appropriately romantic, action-packed, or noirish. On the other hand, the behind-the-scenes photos are considerably lighter in tone; it seems like the cast is having a blast filming the show, which is always nice to see (though sometimes jarring when the stuff in the drama proper is so serious).

Here are a set of photos from both camps, with the new stills and posters capturing that moody sweeping epic vibe… while the cast laughs it up amongst themselves when in between takes. Leading the pack is Kim Hyun-joong as the drama’s tough-guy hero, while Im Soo-hyang ditches the kimono she’d been wearing in previous promos for a qipao, looking pretty fierce herself and ready for a fight. Chances are good that she’ll be doing some of that fighting with the hero, against whom she holds a grudge (his father was responsible for her father’s death) and swears revenge, which is complicated when she falls for him.

I’m a fan of the posters for this show, which are as much about conveying ambiance and a sense of location as they are about the cast (especially that orange one with the hero looking over the city). I am, however, scratching my head over the lack of any news about Kim Jae-wook since his initial casting. He’s not in the posters or on the website’s list of characters, although he’s still included in the cast list in many a news article. I have no idea what happened to his role, but I think it’s probably best we all start preparing ourselves not to see him in this drama. I’d rather be happily surprised later than continue to wait for something that never happens.

Age of Feeling will launch on KBS on January 15. It replaces Pretty Man on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

These posters are awesome! It's vibey and well done and not our usual amateur photoshopped looking ones. Excited to see this and hope it's good.. for our sake and KHJ.

Its Kim Jae Wook, the second guy beside Kim Hyun Joong. I saw a larger version of that photo. He's so gorgeous!!

KHJ looks like he's aged a lot. I would've mistaken him for a mid 30's man if I didn't know better. But anyway... This one looks like it's going for 'epic' which could either work for or against them. But I think it's a bit fresh to see a different time era that maybe isn't as popular. Gaksital did really well for the same channel in the same time slot; I think this will do well too in ratings.

I hope it's a success for the sake of the cast. They seem to be working hard but it's also great so see them enjoying themselves. This is probably KHJ's last project before enlisting so here's to hoping he goes out with a bang!

ikr, i can't tell if it's the makeup or just the look he's adopting for the drama, but he looks ridiculously different (aged).

Wow, it all looks so good! The poster of him looking over the city is indeed great. I like the blue one too. I cannot WAIT for this drama. Although KHJ isn't the best actor there is, I have a weakness for him and I'm hoping he'll have improved for this drama. The setting looks so great, I love the time period, the costumes, and the teaser only got me more excited.

It is weird though that Kim Jae Wook is nowhere to be seen. I wasn't thrilled to heard he'd be second lead again but I'd rather have a 2nd lead KJW than no KJW at all -no KJW at all is so sad :'(-. I will prepare for the worse but I'm really hoping for the best. Or maybe I'll hope he doesn't get to be in that one and gets a 1st lead in another drama instead. Okay I just want KJW on my screen.

Well if he isn't in Age of Feelings, at least I'll have Kim Sung Oh! He seems to be very type-casted but I've loved him in everything he's done ... an those yes ♥ Anyway, I'm just rambling here so to sum up: I'm excited about you drama, please don't disappoint me!

Kim Jae Wook is in the photo of all the guys coming out of the fog. He is in a black and white suit and 2nd person to the right of KHJ.

Its crazy that my eyes were easily deawn to him at first glance.

new poster pics come out of Kim Jaewook. he looks like he channeled Sherlock holmes. but I don't care cause He pretty much leaps out from pictures: http://www.stardailynews.co.kr/news/photo/201401/28359_35315_5736.jpg

Anyway character description is out for his character KIm Soo Ok and he will be playing Jin Se Yeon's first love but he will also be a double agent. So excited and anticipating an awesome KJW..

I do agree that I am also excited for Kim Sung Oh, I still remember his awesomeness in the movie, "A Man from Nowhere.. aaahhh chills. Hope he gets a drama/movie where he is the main lead, much like how Jungwoo had had reply 1994. He really is a great actor...!

Other than that I am most excited by Yoon Hyunmin, been highly anticipating this drama when I heard he signed up. So love Him in heartless City and am dying to grab this one for him...
though there are less news about him than anyone else.. I guess he will be coming out at a later time since he still not has filmed any scenne.

Oh great, thanks for the info -link doesn't work for me though-!!! I'm glad there's a character description now =)

And yes, Kim Sung Oh was great in "Man from nowhere". He was a bad guy and was theatening but was funny too. I also loved him as the secretary in Secret Garden -for once he wasn't a gagnster :p- and he was the only reason I finished "When a man loves" -ah that mess of a drama-. I also wish he could be 1st lead somewhere. Come on Dramaland, make it happen!

And Yoon Hyun Min!!! Although Heartless City was a disappointment for me -too many problems with the plot and I couldn't get into Soo Min's character at all-, there were characters I loved in it and good actors too. Hyunmin's character was adorable and I also want to see more of him.

Please drama, be good! Please, please, don't pull a Basketball ! (was very excited about this one and boy, did I regret it)

Drooling over the posters! I've gotten a lot of drama-watching done over winter break, all of them being rom-coms (and waiting for two more to premiere!) so this will be a nice break from all the cutesy fun. I still can't believe that is Kim Hyun-joong, and I hope him all the best for this role. Seriously.

The poster of him looking over the city is breathtaking.

The poster with them emerging from the smoke/fog/mist has a vague Pirates Of The Caribbean feel which I kind of love too

Now that you mention it, that poster DOES look a lot like the poster for PoTC At World's End. The trailers also use music from the same movie. Are they trying to imply something here? The ragtag gang of rebels with a cause (pirates) from all nationalities against the might of the imperial Japanese (East India Trading Company)?

Men, hot. Women, not. Sigh... is it too much to ask that the stylists do a little research and put a little effort into something approximating a period hairdo? Oh, I know. That would mean more time spent in a stylist's chair getting Marcel waves or hair set with pin curls. Lazy and it takes me out of the period mood.

Great posters. Kim Hyun-Joong is trying to make me a fangirl and Im Soo-Hyang is scaring me with her toughness.

I am still in shock over Kim Hyun-Joong's transformation. Although I have acclimated myself to the Korean flower boy aesthetic to the point where I can accept it & even find some of the fellas (kind of) attractive, I much prefer a man's man. And boy is KHJ giving me M.A.N. in the posters and stills KBS has been releasing. I'm drooling a bit here.

However, let's all join heads and find a way to stop the Korean compulsion to throw peace sign and other hand symbols in every. single. picture. ever. It's so not cool. I've held in my groans all this time but it's a new year. Can we leave it in 2013 now!? Please!?

If you look at the long poster with the ensemble male cast standing in the mists.. Kim Jae-wook is there, the 2nd to the right of KHJ. So I'm pretty sure he's still in.

As for his lack of promo stills, I'm guessing that he probably hasn't done any shooting for the drama since he'll only appear from ep. 6 (ep 2-5 will revolve around the childhood counterparts).

I love the picture of him looking out over the city, too. It's just so awesome and epic. I really hope these posters don't disappoint me too much. I really want this show to be awesome, for Kim Hyun-joong's sake. Please let it be!

Maybe the reason Kim Jae-wook's character (if, indeed, he is still apart of the show) is being given very little attention, is because the producers and whoever wants to keep his character a secret because it's just such an awesome character. Does that sound ridiculous and too hopeful? Maybe, so, but I really want him to do well, too. I hope he hasn't dropped out, or been dropped by the show. That would suck.

It really does look like a good show. Has Kim Hyung Joon found his niche? Well...we'll have to see.

DramaFever has a documentary or educational series. It's called Cultural Trilogy. It's very interesting & informational if you do not know a lot about the different Asian cultures. It basically compares Korea, Japan & China. One of the episodes is all about the clothing and it goes in depth about the traditional dress of each country.

Korean-hanbok

Japan-kimono

China-qipao or cheongsam (I think the difference may be b/c of the different languages or dialects but I watched it so long ago can't be sure)

The episode about the dresses and another about kimchi were my favorites. Each country has a version of kimchi. I cannot for the life of me remember the different names of the kimchi like I can remember the names of the dress forms, but I found it all quite interesting.

except qipao is machurian. even though they were the last dynasty to rule over china, it's sad how the traditional han robes are always forgotten in these things...the original chinese garb was so beautiful! just watch any wuxia drama and be amazed. qipao is sexy (when you make it so) but han robes are ethereal and elegant.

I have a weakness for Kim hyun joong, and I truly wish he could find true love, get married and start a family. he seems like a good genuine person from all the reality shows I've seen him star in. and I wish he can he can go out with a bang before he gets enlisted. :)

Now this is crazy. Why they keep getting accidents while filming dramas? Just when someone die, they'll start to take more care?

Apparently this was not an accident on set. She was getting trained to sing 40s club vocals somewhere.

Kudoes for nerve and work ethic. She still reminds me a cheerful dental hygenist reminding me of the importance of flossing.

Ugh I was not planning to watch this drama but then kim jaewook got casted and the posters look so pretty. And now kim jaewook may not be in this? Should I watch it? I wish I liked atleast one more person besides KJW from this cast but sadly I don't. All I can think of is that i'll be distracted by jin seyeon and hyunjoong's acting and Im Soohyang's nose if I do watch it. And then another thought comes to mind, Go Ara and Lee yeonhee were happy surprises as of late, even Yoona, so maybe, just maybe KHJ will be too...?

I don't know why, but the stills of Jo Dong-hyuk exudes more appeal to me than that of Hyun-joong. I hope KHJ will deliver otherwise, JDH and Jae-wook will eat him in acting. Not to mention the young him - Kwak Dong Yeon.

Yehey for Song Jae-rim. I hope he has a big role too

I'm so looking forward because of the support guys! Please do your best KHJ, fighting!!!
