Shin Ae takes up classical music for Empress Cheon-chu

by javabeans

(Pretty!)

Shin Ae (We Got Married) is one of a sizable lineup for the upcoming Empress Cheon-chu, the large-scale KBS sageuk drama starring Chae Shi-ra. (Also cast: Moon Jung-hee, Lee Deok-hwa, Choi Jae-sung, Kim Seok-hoon.)

In this new still, she is pictured in character as the empress’s “kind and pure” younger sister; the character is a skilled musician with the classical Korean harp and lute, which Shin Ae has been practicing since August in preparation for the role. This marks Shin Ae’s first sageuk effort.

Empress Cheon-chu is the one of the three large-scale female-led sageuks of next year and the first to air. Neither SBS’s Princess Ja-myung nor MBC’s Queen Seon-deok have fixed their premiere dates yet, but Cheon-chu is set for a January 3 kick-off. (Shin Ae’s musical performance will be broadcast in a later episode, near the end of January.)

The drawing of a butterfly was engraved on Gayageum.
Or maybe, it was painted.

"Neither SBS’s Princess Ja-myung nor MBC’s Queen Seon-deok have fixed their premiere dates yet, but Cheon-chu is set for a January 3 kick-off."

Yeah, that goes without saying. Cheon-chu is the 2009 KBS weekend sageuk. It's going to run 100+ episodes, and hopefully it'll be stronger (less fusion-y?) than Dae Jo Young and King Sejong.

When I first saw the pictures...I couldn't help but stare a them for a long time...hehe...
ShinAe is so beautiful...I can't wait to see her scenes.
I heard she'll appear in about 20 episodes...so I'll probably watch those 20 episodes.
I'm not so good with long dramas...they tend to drag so much in the middle and made it hard to follow through to the end.

Am I the only one who thinks Shin Ae is pretty blah? I don't think she's ugly, but I just don't get her appeal. Maybe, it's because I found her personality to be bland from WGM. Alex did all the work to make their faux marriage seem romantic and interesting. She just stood around and cleared her throat.
