Kimbap and charged looks on the set of Third-Rate My Way
by Buhdoop
KBS has released their first still for Third-Rate My Way and it kind of makes me want to do a “caption this” contest for the look they’re sharing on a bench with matching rolls of kimbap. Third-Rate My Way is a drama about the growing romance between two people who have third-rate lives, but still want to live life their way regardless of what others say.
Park Seo-joon (Hwarang) and Kim Ji-won (Descended From the Sun) play Go Dong-man and Choi Ae-ra who have been best friends since childhood. They argue and tease each other all the time, but if someone else insults one of them, they are quick to defend each other. They’re calling this relationship ssamantic, a hodgepodge of “third-rate,” “bickering,” and “romantic.” But we’re also told that their ssamantic relationship will cherry-blossom into a new romance. Aww, I love these types of shows.
The teaser photo isn’t much of a tease, but it does sort of illustrate their comfortable, argumentative relationship. To me it looks like Park Seo-joon just said something to Kim Ji-won and she’s about to snap right back at him. But they probably won’t stay mad at each other for long, because they’ve been doing this since childhood. I’m interested to see who falls for whom first. Will it be an Answer Me-type scenario where one person has liked the other for a while, or will it be more like The Producers or Bottom of the 9th With 2 Outs where everyone around them knew they were good for each other and they were the last to figure it out? Whatever the case, I am always a sucker for the storyline where one person realizes they love their best friend.
Below are a few photos taken behind the scenes during filming. I try to avoid behind the scenes shots while the drama is airing, mostly because I don’t want to get spoiled. However, I love to get little tidbits before the drama airs, and the one still of the leads isn’t nearly enough.
KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Third-Rate My Way is written by Im Sang-choon (Baek-hee Has Returned) and directed by Lee Na-jung (drama special Yeon-woo’s Summer and movie Line of Sight). It is produced by Fan Entertainment, which has released a number of hits including The Moon That Embraces the Sun, Kill Me Heal Me, and Doctors, and is expected to air in May.

Oh my god I'm such a sucker for these types of plot lines!!! It's always so adorable and it makes the romance even more special because they know each other so well already.
They look adorable together I can't wait for this pairing.

Ohh childhood friends to lover. In manga world childhood female friends rarely win the heart of hero and i hope there is no annoying third wheel is added to cause some friction among forever friends.
This also reminded me of a korean movie where guy loves the girl and girl also knows about it but not commits into the relationship and keeps on leading the guy That actor who was once a prince and then became a king

Oh - I enjoyed "Baek-hee Has Returned" (4 eps) very much! Will watch for the writer and Park Seo Joon (of course).
Looking forward to it - looks like i will be busy this summer watching lots of k-dramas!

Call me biased but why i feel so much chemistry in just one photo? lol anyway, I love their clothes, the background, especially their gaze.. my bet is on Seojoon character who harbors feeling for Jiwon, but ofc for some reason plays it off as friendship. Unlike Yoonjae in Reply1997 who realized much earlier that he'd felt for his best friend. At first i was little skeptical but now i'm growing more and more curious about this drama. It doesn't sound like usual 100% rom-com but has slice of life, coming of age problems. it's more realistic and relatable in a way and i'm looking forwards to it ^^

Oooh, I love the bickering, the strong female lead with the strong backbone and a clapback that would make other clapbacks proud that was in Baek Hee has returned. That drama, although a mini drama wormed its way into my heart and I'm eagerly looking forward to third rate my way, especially seeing that they're both from the same writer. Bring me my female leads that won't take any crap from anyone. Give me my male leads who argue with the female lead but will defend them to the ends of the earth and would pluck out the eyes of anyone who dares insult and disrespect them. So much amazing dramas coming our way in May. Obviously the "M" in May is for "Magical".

I think we should wait a little longer because if I'm not mistaken, on 9 May there will be a presidential election. So this drama will be postponed one week of broadcast if there is no change again.

Same, I was about to pass this show because I have quite a lot of shows on my plate for May—finishing up Bubblegum/ TLAHL, watching Weightlifting Fairy and Reply 1988, maybe Ruler: Master of the Mask (probably not a lot of shows by Beanie standards but considering I used to only watch 2-3 dramas a year.. ?).
Then suddenly they drop this friends to lovers news and I am SO tempted! What little rom-com elements I saw from PSJ in Hwarang I absolutely loved + I have KBS World on my TV, I have no excuse to not watch it :O

Friends to lovers...there goes the siren call! Yes, I'm done, I'm sold, I must watch. Hopefully it can go on the mantel with loves like those noted here ( and top 10 list) minus That Time I Loved You which made me love it less and less the more I watched. Conversely the source drama material TWdrama In Time With You became one of my all time fave TWdramas.

In Time with You immediately came to mind. As well as the kdrama I really, truly hated.
Hopefully at least the fact that we have no source material to compare this to will help.

This is not a lot of info, but I love this type of relationship (the only trope I like more is straight up enemies-to-lovers... clearly this says something about me lol) and I love Park Seo-joon even more! Haven't watched him in anything for a while; if the early reviews of this are favourable, I'm likely to pick up watching this show.

I sort of forgot this drama until this post. I was very excited about it - still am - but I feel the thunder is definitely stolen by the wed-thu dramas. I hope they can amp up the promos, the premiere is coming up and I really want to see PSJ and KJW's chemistry in more than just a picture. Recent casting has been pretty darn on point. YSH-KSH, YWJ-PMY, JCW-NJH... so many pairings of equally talented actors. I hope the trend continues.
Between this and Ruler, my weekdays are already looking so bright!

The funniest interview clip I saw from Hwarang was the one where PSJ confessed that the reason his hair kept changing in Hwarang was that the stylists couldn't figure out what would look good on him. I am looking forward to seeing him in this kind of dynamic - he has such a fun, straightforward personality in real life and I hope they let that shine!

Only one picture and my heart flutters
KBS is not doing anything to promote this drama compared with other May upcoming dramas in all the channels
Premiere this month seem to be not really good timing due to presidential elections
So praying hard for the good ratings and well-written script from beginning to the end
It's Jiwonnie first leading role and i wish this drama successful to solify her leading status
And so happy that Seo Jun is her partner. The way he looks at her <3. I can tell who fall for who first.
Wishing that his luck is on his side this time after that drama should not be named.
Will a Park- Kim combo once again save KBS monday-tuesday timeslot from darkness?

Good ratings will bring them joy and energy.

Meanwhile, I haven't seen the writer's works but seeing the reviews of BHHR, I have high hopes that this drama will be good too. Jiwon is such a versatile actress and I hope she could showcase her skills in here. And maaan, who doesn't love Park Seojoon? I couldn't get myself to finish Hwarang (it's terrible #sorrynotsorry) but I'm currently watching Kill Me, Heal Me and I'm loving his performance so far. And did they say friends turned lovers??? I'm such a sucker for these kinds of love lines. I better get my heart ready for their chemistry. I'm obviously biased haha May, please come soon.
