nicee can't wait :D
firstt ??

Kwon Sang Woo looks a bit funny with that hat, but the others are looking fine. Btw javabeans, I noticed new headers for your site (like the Jung Il Woo-Yoon Jin Seo one currently on this page), they're pretty spiffy!

Kwon Sang-woo ...what with the hat? In the first pic he looks like a mannequin!
Everybody else looks great. Yoon-ah is so cute.

Sorry, not at all interested.

Next.

She's not even 19 yet... gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!

Ah, an ego stroking project! No matter how mature they dress Yoon Ah, her being 19 to KSW's 33 years of age is still pretty weird.

I like the picture of Yoona and the two ajhussis :p
Yoona has a very young-looking face...I think she looks younger than 19, so I am not very crazy about this pair. But, I will still give the drama a try when it comes out.

Sang Woo oppa is back..Can't wait to see him act as two different persons..
Sang Woo oppa fighting!!! Cinderella Man fighting!!!

No matter how mature they dress Yoon Ah, her being 19 to KSW’s 33 years of age is still pretty weird.

Whenever I see anything Cinderella Man news-related, my mind just goes, "Jaiiiiiilll, jaiiiiil!"

See the pic above with Sang-woo , Yoon-ah, Song Chang-eui .. I can only see them as "2 older brothers and younger sister"

I really dont see any love chemistry between any of them!!

how does it work?!!

Thanx for the write-up!

I was initially irked with the age-gap thing too. Yoona too young for KSW, or the other way round. But I saw the preview...and I think I'm gonna like their tandem.. KSW finally has a chance to show his comedic skills... :D

I think that the age difference itself isn't that strange. I mean, Painter of the Wind (바람의 화원) was a much larger age gap. I think it's just the fact that it seemed so glaringly obvious that Kwon Sang Woo was acting amongst a cast that made him seem to scream: "Look at me! I'm young and trendy! Not 30+ and an aging father!"

This project's cast of just even YOONAH being his love interest kind of screamed that as well. She's in SNSD and so a LOT of people in Korea (if not everyone) knows her. It feels like he's looking back for a way into yesteryear.

The hat, the chains, the "edgy" watch (or is that a bracelet? Do men wear bracelets? Wristband? Band? Whatever you know what I meant :) ) - he certainly *dressed* youthfully. Much more youthfully than his "movie hyung"**. But I'm sure that was just coincidental.

Whatever the case, everyone is pretty - so maybe I'll give it a one-episode-whirl.

** P.S. I am not a Korean speaker so someone tell me whether "movie hyung" actually made any sense :P

THIS PROBALY WILL BE WORSE THAN "BAD LOVE"....

@15 KATE

That's hard to do, but I don't disagree with you. lol.

"The hat, the chains, the “edgy” watch (or is that a bracelet? Do men wear bracelets? Wristband? Band?"

He's applying to join Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit. :D

I can't say I'm feeling this. The We Got Married coupling of Tae Yeon with Hyun Dong kinda works, because it never pretends to be about romance, which would be super creepy. (Hell I kinda see it as an intervention on Hyun Dong's bachelor-slob lifestyle.) Even then that's a 11 year gap. This is a 14 year gap. Meaning, when she was about to be born, he was about to lose his virginity. When she signed up for SM Entertainment, he was seducing Japanese housewives. I mean, what kind of conversations do they have? "Yoona, my nephew would really like your autograph. And he told me if I get to kiss you, he would take me to the police." And if you watched You are My Destiny, I don't recall there ever been one kissing scene. Because that also would have been creepy.

Sigh. Well I guess next year, they could try Lee Byung Hun and So Hee. Shrug.

Is there any dress code actress or actor who attending press conference. It seems thats some actor use a *casual mode* at the same time their opponent use formal dress?

i have a bad feeling this drama will suck.
Like you said it's like father and daughter standing next to each other instead of two lovers.
Already it looks bad~
And Han Eunjung's eyes doesn't look like they've set in yet. They still look puffy from the surgery and scary. Maybe she's supposed to play the evil girl? There's always one of those in every drama..

uhm is kwon sang woo wear that type of clothes just to look younger/edgier??? because ajushi you are hot and all but you wife just had a baby so... i just have a weird pairing hahaha true the casting is more of pretty faces. as for yoona i hope snsd fans wont hate me >.< but shouldnt she look more mature cuz i think the movie is more of a serious mood its not a cute -younger- generation- type of concert. eunjung is very graceful and womanly with an edge in her dress

“This is a 14 year gap. Meaning, when she was about to be born, he was about to lose his virginity. When she signed up for SM Entertainment, he was seducing Japanese housewives.”

LOL. Creepy but true. I dunno - when I think of this, all sorts of words pop into my head: "flagging" "waning" "diminishing". I mean, I could be being very unfair - if the drama handles the age gap between the leads tastefully - i.e. by acknowledging it (maybe even making it part of the conflict - that they know they are unsuitably paired) then it could work out. But if we are expected to pretend we don't see the greying elephant in the room, then I won't be able to take the drama seriously. KSW by fighting the old, you are only drawing more attention to it.

P.S. When I say "fighting the old" I don't mean he is actually _old_. I mean, by trying to act like he is 22 again, he reminds us that he is, in fact, not.

Seeing Song Chang-eui, I am still a bit perplexed as to how he will be playing Kwon Sang-woo's hyung.

Eeewww. I can't get over the age difference, especially with her not even in her twenties.

I agree with what Liv (#21) said...

KSW doesn't look like a guy in his early twenties, even on the posters and preview of the drama he still looks like a grown up men, on his late twenties and sometimes even over 30. And Yoona, she looks even younger than her real age even when they dress her and add make-up on her to look more mature.

I think not even good acting can hide their age. I know KSW is a good actor, but even if he try to act younger, i don't think it'll work. Besides that, Yoona is still a new actress, she doesn't have that much experience in acting and many people complained about how she wasn't able to be convincing on the romantic scenes with her love interest in the KBS drama she was in. I don't think she'll be able to convince as an older girl or that she'll have chemistry with KSW. Take for example, Park Shin Hye, she was in many dramas before acting in Goong S, but still it was painful to watch her attempting to act older than her age to match Se7en that was only 6 years older than her .

I know I shouldn't be judging before watching...
but I hate how sometimes directors/casting directors/pds think only about promotion and creating buzz for a drama and ignores what's so obvious: there are times that not even make-up and acting is able to hide age. If they want to cast an actress and actor with such a big age gap to act as lovers, why they don't create a side story that explains their pairing and also deal and talk about this age gap instead of making the actor and actress pretend to be an age they obviously don't look even near of having.

really, really wanna see Song Chang-eui but don't really like KSW and Yoona....what to do? what to do? hmmm.....the dilemna of a K-drama addict

think I'd rather spend the time to recoup and try to get back what's left of my sanity from the craziness of BOF

thanks jb for the article :)
