Kim Tae-hee’s dreamy first stills for Yong-pal
by javabeans
Yong-pal has already given us the first stills of series star Joo-won, and now it’s Kim Tae-hee’s turn as the drama’s leading lady. She’s pictured here in her first shoots for the SBS show, which took place on the 17th; she plays a chaebol heiress described as a Sleeping Beauty, hidden away in a VIP suite of a hospital and lying unconscious in the aftermath of an accident.
At least that’s the story the world knows, since it was her usurping half-brother (Jo Hyun-jae) who’s actually responsible for keeping her in a comatose state—he’s out to take over the company, and she outranks him on inheritance hierarchy. It’s not clear what the timeline on these stills are so we don’t know yet if it’s pre-accident or post-, but we are told they come from a funeral scene. Kim Tae-hee has lost her sweetheart in a car accident, and is pictured entering the church for his funeral ceremony.
(Heck, with the dreamy lighting and smoky air, it could even be a fantasy/dream sequence, since we were told earlier that her coma came as the result of an accident. But that’s my speculation, based on the show’s moody teaser and motif about being trapped in nightmares.)
Yong-pal follows Mask and premieres on August 5.

Her dress certainly looks like a black version of the typically white, dream-sequence dress.

I also had a feeling it's a dream sequence. I'm not even surprised if she dreams of her own funeral. But it's her lover, so any of the two could happen.

She looks gorgeous. I'm really liking the first few promotional stuff from the drama so I hope the end product is just as promising. Mostly, I can't wait for Mask to end because that drama has gotten so boring that I'm on the verge of dropping it.

I will be a great twist if the body lying there is HER.
I can't wait to see Joo Won back in action and of course to see his chemistry with Kim Tae Hee.
Yong Pal fighting!

I'd say that pretty much all the top beauties (actresses) in Korea are natural beauties (the ones who had work done usually look, well - a bit plasticky).
KTH, Shin Min-a, Song Hye-kyo, Jeon Ji-hyun, Lee Yeon-hee, Han Ga-in, Han Hyo-joo, Son Ye-jin, Han Ji-min, Han Ye-seul, Park Ha-sun, etc.

While people have varying taste/preference - on an objective level, there is no denying KTH's beauty (but even she has her flaws, as minor as they may be - the biggest one being not having the long limbs that actresses like JJH or SMA have).
Place KTH in pretty much every part of the world and people would be raving about her beauty.

I totally agree with you! I think she's pleasant looking, but her face seems kind of ordinary to me! There's nothing interesting that makes me take a second, closer look. So funny how perceptions differ.

I couldn't see it at first, but it's the type of beauty that grows on you. :)

I'll guess out-of-body experience to see the boyfriend's funeral post accident.
Mask still has two weeks left (and I'm loving it!), but I'm eagerly anticipating this show's start. Too many good dramas to see! #FirstWorldProblems

Is this going for to be another Mask? Wheww!! Fanning myself because this looks steamy and mysterious. I love the three main leads but can't understand why Jo Hyun-Jae will pick that role. He'd have maid a great headliner instead of Joo Won but I guess Joo Won makes the drama more 'ratings' worthy.
This is looking good, getting an awesome vibe already. Seems the Mask withdrawal won't be so debilitating after all ?

I had a great deal of fun watching the stills from top to bottom and imagining that the last one was her ghost observing two carpenters working on the cracks in the flooring.

Despite how pretty KTH is, I just want more pictures of Joo Won.

I will be tuning in also, but, I might leave because it's KTH. I didn't finish My Princess nor JOJ, Live in Love. Can't really stand KTH.
I think it is an odd pairing. Joowan might out act her.
I would have liked to see Han Chae-ah in this role.

Also, from the trailer, it seems like now Healer is a doctor.
