Ah, I wish I could see this.
I always loved the original Project Runway, but I have a feeling it won't be as good anymore.
This definitely looks interesting!

I wonder how it will work. Reality TV shows, i would assume, will turn out quite weird in Korea. internet culture and super-sensitive viewership has basically shaped celebrity figures, and while forms of bitchery is crowned in America as delicious and entertaining, contestants who don any unlikeable characteristics will be crushed in Korea by unforgiving netizens.

So while the competition could be intriguing and the fashion good I don't see this being as spicy as I would want things to be. I think that's why during Project Runway Canada, while I adored some of the clothes, I just always fast forwarded towards the runway part.

Well snippity snaps.
I'll definitely like it more if it's all about the clothes.
That's the best part of the show.

WORD Labooboo.

I'll watch this (as long as I can find it), and struggle with the language. But, meh. If the clothes are pretty...or at least entertaining, I'll be hooked.

This is kinda related to this but the other day I saw a brief clip of the Korean version of Dancing with the stars - sorry but it was really lame.......... The dancers were really stiff and didn't have the same type of suaveness of the dancers in the American version. They just looked really awkward.......... I wonder if Project Runway Korea will also be lame and the people in it will be stiff and awkward.........like everybody else I guess I'll just focus on the clothes and hope to see some cool and creative stuff!

I don't think that the people will be stiff and awkward because they aren't going to be in the same position of having to feign dancing abilities like the people in Dancing with the Stars. The contestants of Project Runway are intended to start the show already having talent and skill in designing clothes. In any case, if the show does focus on the designs more than the drama between the contestants, even though it's also important to have designers that audiences will connect to or be interested in to make the audience more engaged throughout the episode. However, I think that audiences should feel like they're favoring certain contestants over others first because of their designs and then second for their personality.

On another note. Will all the judges be speaking in Korean?

I'm looking forward to it! Will be a bit difficult to understand it though :) I hope this will open up some secrets to Korean fashion. All the high crazy fashion you sometimes see in drama's! lol :)

This seems interesting. I hope the designers make great pieces.

I saw a preview and some of the designers were catty, bitchy, arrogant and had no shame about it. Much like every version of Project Runway I've seen. These are designers who want to display their talent and want to win. Unlike singers and actors who are cautious of what they say on the air, I think trying to appease netizens is the last thing on these designers' minds.

Interesting article on the production here: http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2900560

Kang Ho Dong? Really?? Doesn't sound all that "professional" to me. If they had hired him I don't think I could have taken the show half as seriously.

It's not only PR Korea that looks like a carbon copy. They make all other versions of the show follow the same guidelines. I've seen clips of PR Canada and PR Philippines and it's the exact same setup as the original version.

javabeans, is that comment towards me? Because I'm in the same line of thought as you. My belief is the closer it is to the US version, the better the quality. That's why I would have had a hard time taking the show seriously if they had hired Kang Ho Dong as the host. He may be a popular MC, but seriously, what does this guy know about fashion?

My comment about the designers having attitude was sort of a response to badmilk. Even though Korean stars usually have a tendency to be cautious of what they say on TV, I don't think it applies for the designers. At least, that's the feeling I got when I saw the preview.

Personally I really love watching whatever show concerning fashion and I will probably like KPR cos any fashion from whatever country as their own specificity...but from the time MADTV show me a really weird Heidy Klum, I am always having on my mind this picture of her shouting, saying a weird "Auf wiedersehen" and it makes her so creepyyy..make me laugh each time I am watching Project runaway even if they are serious..:p...anyway hope Korea wil not put a parody of Heidy Klum and saying "annyong" at the end of the episode....

aigoo how am i going to tune into this? what are the chances it'll be on youtube or surfthechannel.

yes, Project Runway is less drama-ish than other reality shows. but i think most people wouldn't be half as entertained without the Santinos and the Jeffery Sebelias and Wendy Peppers of the show. the drama is hilarious.

also, any Project RUnway without Tim Gunn is sad to watch. i watched Project Runway Canada and their mentor is sooo sad to watch. basically a Tim Gunn wannabe. but i'd still tune into this one.

also, does anyone think it doesn't make any sense to have a contestant who wasn't even a finalist (Victoria) judge this show? i'm mostly saying this cos she was such a bitch but why should she have any say about what is fashion or not.

Oh, i just realized I will be missing Tim Gunn as well.
D;

Now that PR US is kind of in the dumps, I'll certainly be looking forward to this new batch of talent. I haven't heard of many Korean designers other than the (in my opinion) overrated Andre Kim but I certainly do acknowledge the style and beauty and eye for meticulous detail that korean entertainment industry has...

... and hopefully this will get rid of the over-used amount of black actors and actresses use in Korea and get some colour onto the red carpet!

Ah! I want to watch this! I hope I see some fusion of the korean styles and the western styles in the designing of the clothes. They are very much different from each other.
And HEY! It's Victoria Hong! The only season of TRW I watched, she was there. I liked her design when she teamed up with another contestant in that contemporary category (I don't know if it's contemporary or not. All I know is that it's the episode with the big big and exaggerated clothes and hairdos.)

Eh, what am I typing? It's not TRW. It's project runway. Sorry!

@18 - absolutely. Tim Gunn totally makes the show. or at least used to - i haven't enjoyed the US version so much lately, but will hopefully be able to find this one online somewhere. it's probably too much to hope for subtitles, though.

as long as we see some good clothes on the runway, i'm up for it.

I loved Project Runway and I think this version will give me a glimpse into Korean fashion. In my opinion Victoria Hong is a judge because she is of Korean descent. This could be one of many possible reasons why they chose her for Project Runaway Korea. Either way I hope to see some creative/breathing taking pieces.

i love project runway so this should be interesting to see. and LOL, i agree with Jessi at #17.

wow!!! hope someone will be subbing this cause i can't wait to watch it.

sooo cool! does anyone know where i can download/watch the episodes?

I'm a huge project runway fan I seen all American seasons the Australian version, and the Canadian version so you can see how die-hard a fan I am. Since I don't understand Korean... Will anyone be subbing the Korean version?? I'm so curious to see what will happen!!

thanks

Project Runway is one of the few reality shows I enjoy watching. Having it in Korea is going to be interesting. I want to watch this XD
