Hope to see kim ah jung in a good project!

sounds a lot like full house...just role reversed

@ hello...

Your point exactly....

Maybe this IS the second Full House lol

I like both of those movie actors! I'll try to check that out after I'm done with BOF but I'm so behind! Like at episode 16....

Hwang Jung Min... no wonder he is popping up in Family Outing... This might be the reason... Anyway I missed him since Best Week of Your Life, You are my Sunshine and Happiness.

First drama series? Awesome... I think Yoo Ji-Tae might be the force to be reckon with and more movie stars are coming on TV... I like... more more more yeah...

Kim Ah Joong... ah... Maria... Thats despite everything is one awesome OST.

And Javabeans... you digging Sorry Sorry? Yay! Go Suju go!!!

I hope it'll be good. I'm not a big fan of Kim Ah-joong but after BOF, I gotta have something to keep me preoccupied.

You're right. Among the 3 dramas, I'm more inclined to watch Six Months.

Gotta agree that the contract relationship plot is overdone..... but I can't stop watching them.

Oh yeah, now that pic looks like Sun Ah.

Hwang Jung Min as a postman = EPIK

How come Hwang Jung Min always plays those poor boy roles or.. a gangster. Haha.. never luxurious ones.

I can't believe they're still using contract marriages and amnesia based story lines these days. Sometimes I wonder why I'm still interested in Korean dramas. But oh well, it's not like there's anything else better on.

@11,

As long as there is a hospital scene with a humidifier turning the recuperating room into a rain forest, and a totally mitchin girl who would rather die than see someone else happy, then I'm happy. Amnesia might be overused, but you can never have enough humidifiers.

You know, Six months sounds really good. And yes, the contract relationship might have been overused, but it really really really works for me.

Wow. Yoon-ah looks just a bit younger than KSW in that photo. I guess making her look older is much better than making Kwon Sang Woo's character, Gu JunPyo's age. hahaha.

doesn't Kim Ajoong tower over Hwang Jungmin??? seems odd they would pair those two together... and he usually does movies not mini-series.

Hope they are getting wel with each other

Between City Hall, Cinderella Man, and 6 Months - I only care about 6 months.... it's more appealing while the other... not so much (maybe I would have waited for Cinderella Man if not for Yoona and KSW pairing.... odd... odd... and ODD)

And no matter how many times we get overused plots, if it works, why not XD

oh i am ALLLL for contract marriages and close proximity! i LOVE every single one. dal ja spring, 9 end 2 outs, goong, ALL. i had my hopes up about personal taste... but no news about it =(

Kim Ah-joong and Hwang Jung-min are being paired as romantic leads in the upcoming miniseries...

Not like the others I'm a litlle sceptical about this pairing, since KAJ hasn't been in a drama for a very long time, and this is the first drama for HJM. I don't know how they will interact in this drama. But I trust HJM to play his character smoothly. I'm not sure about KAJ. And I definitely will watch this drama for sure...

I've always had this question, how is acting in a drama different than acting in a movie? I've always seen dramas just longer, more spread out, versions of movies XD They're just longer.. ?
*confused*

Oh man, contract relationships. *squee* I'm a sucker for them, I'll admit it. At least this time it's the girl that's super-famous and the guy that's average.

I agree with your prediction on the Wed-Thurs drama offerings, though. I'm actually not a huge fan of Kwon Sang-oo *ducks projectiles* but I'm fully prepared to LOL my arse off at his new drama, whether because it's genuinely funny or because it's terrible. I'll take either. XD

And LOL @ 식스먼스. My Korean-American friend has a theory that eventually Koreans won't speak Korean at all, just English based on Korean pronunciation. She has lots of photographic evidence of advertisements and packages that reinforce this theory from her yearly trips to Korea. I'm going to have to tell her about the title of this show.. [She also got a big kick out of that first episode of Beethoven Virus, when they were holding 오케스트라 오디션's.]

i might watch this 6 MONTHS for Hwang Jung Min...
i want to see him act in a TV series.
when i was watching his guesting in CHOCOLATE, i said, when will this actor take a TV project...well out of the blue we have this news...

i hope it will be fun watching 6 months as really there is no series out there that compels me to watch except the US series.

6 months sounds too familiar....another stars lover...i hope 2009 dramas are not all going down the same line! it's happened in the past!

> I can’t believe they’re still using

> based story lines these days.

I gonna be honest...this is one of the reasons I LOVE k-dramas. I know it's cliche but I love it, love it, love it :)

And I really miss it these days so I'm glad they're doing it again.

I also like the girl-pretends-to-be-a-boy stories as well... which is like in every historical Chinese drama :)

Yes! I love watching contract relationships and anything where they have to live with each other (the cancelling of Personal Taste was a big blow for me).

Agree, agree, agree.

Reminds me of Star's Lover plus Full House..
Not so interested in it other than the fact that it's Hwang Jung Min's first drama?

I'm actually more looking forward to KSW and KSA's dramas..hehehe..

@ #22 Kender,
all the 3 Wed-Thur dramas that would compete this April have this "Korean-based-on-English-pronunciation"
• [SBS] City Hall (시티홀),
• [MBC] Cinderella Man (신데렐라맨)
• [KBS2] Six Months (식스 먼스)
interesting...

For me, I will watch City hall. I want a different storyline.

"> I can’t believe they’re still using
> contract marriages and amnesia
> based story lines these days. "

Agreed!! It's like Pinkberry yogurt. Kinda monotonous and overrated, yet you can't actually say no . . .

"[MBC] Cinderella Man (신데렐라맨)"

Apparently, KSW is going to wear a PAMA for it. I still like KSW a lot, but dang the desperation is just unseemly.

Ok, you got me. The truth is most of my favorite dramas revolve around contract marriages and amnesia as well, such as Full House and Green Rose (also Time of Dog & Wolf), and in a way I do miss the old skool k-dramas.

But there comes a time when you need to reinvent yourself in order to retain the interest of the audience, as people do generally grow tired of the same ol' stuff. I guess they have been trying, as 2008 dramas were a bit different to what we're used to, but it also turned out to be the worst year for k-dramas, so maybe that's why they're going back to the old tried and tested formula.

Having said that, as much as my interest in k-dramas has waned, I always keep coming back to it. I even started watching Hollywood movies again after a 3 year hiatus but it just doesn't hit the spot :(

@belleza

I'll have to try pinkberry yogurt one day....but something tells me I will be able to say no afterwards. Not really a yoghurt person :)

@ Kobe

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't watch Hollywood movies much either because they feel a bit frantic... it's like they try to squeeze so much into 2 hours that at the end I feel really tired.

And I definitely won't touch American dramas any more because I just don't have the time to devote 5+ years of my life to see how it ends.

Which is why Asian dramas are the best. You have bite-sized 11 episode j-dramas, all-nigher 16 ep k-dramas, and go to work tired for a week 40 ep c-dramas :)

ohhhhhhhhhhh always a good work for the korean really i like all the korean acters and actresses

KSW looks ridiculous w/ that hair (but then again, he also had "bad hair" in Hyori's Anycall MV).

My take is a tie between six months and city hall. Not sure if cinderella man is in the same league. Though i am in a mood for something different, I will give 6 months (contract marriage re-hash) oh...maybe 5 eps to find something different. Heck, maybe will give all 3 the 5 eps chance before i pass my final judgement.
God, help me if all 3 compete for equal attention!

oh,,,yoonah may look her age...KSW just looks out of place. ;-)

I love her very much
she look like jessica alba

hi to kim!!! i'm a very big fan of you.... i always watch 200pounds beauty and i really still get in love with your song byul! as a matter of fact, BYUL is my favorite song! your so beautiful ang simple!!
