Queen Seon-deok unveils its leading man
by javabeans
Finally! We’ve seen the ladies of the historical drama Queen Seon-deok, now we finally have a peek at Uhm Tae-woong in his first sageuk role. (Stills have already been released for his becostumed co-stars Lee Yo-won as queen and Go Hyun-jung as court lady Mi-shil.)
OH! I just realized — with KBS’s The Man Who Can’t Get Married ready to premiere in early June, not only will Uhm Tae-woong be starring in a drama at the same time as big sis Uhm Jung-hwa, they’ll be battling timeslots! (They’ll both be on Mondays and Tuesdays, with little bro on MBC and his noona on KBS.) Wonder what family dinners are gonna be like over the next several months…
To get into character as the historical figure Kim Yoo-shin, Uhm Tae-woong — who is a fabulous and intense actor (see: Rebirth, Devil) — has been busy in physical training, practicing martial arts and horseback riding nearly every day for the past three months.
Uhm describes his character as dependable and someone who “knows how to wait.” Asked to describe how he felt working opposite Lee Yo-won and Go Hyun-jung, he said, “They are both people I’d wanted to work with” and had a good feeling about both of them from the start.
A few more shots of co-star Go Hyun-jung:

those hanbok' remind me of Chinese traditional period costumes - which i suppose makes sense since the Chinese were heavy cultural influences to Korea. just thought this was interesting (to me) since i grew up on mainly Chinese drama and just recently discovered Korean dramas. before k-dramas, my knowledge of all things kKorea could be summed up in one word: Kimchi?

Still waiting for the day when Eom Tae Woong and Eom Jung Hwa get cast in a remake of Autumn Tale. Then, everyone who watches the first episode will be sent to jail.

Good luck to both of them!^^

Uhm Tae woong, saw him in the Devil... where JJH starred too.. *sniff, lips trembling..a tear rolling down..* In the making of Devil, these two guys were really caring, kinda sweet, to each other (not in a bro-mantic way! more like older-younger brothers)....

Omg. *drools*
I fall more in love with Uhm Tae Woong with each drama I see him in. And to think I hated him when I saw him first in Delightful Girl Choon Hyang. I think if I ever went back to rewatch that, I would feel very conflicted. Would I choose adorable but immature Mong Ryong or the creepy yet sizzling-hot Ahjussi?
LOL belleza. Where do you get all these ideas from??

@8 Belleza
Thanks for making me laugh for a minute there! What a creative mind you have!
Yey! everybody, to jail we go! Then Uhm Tae Woong can have his fan meeting there!
Wait, let me make a detour to JJH's cell and deliver his food stuff first....

yowzer. these costumes are top-quality (yes park ye-jin looks a wisp of angel gracing our world.) for some reason UTW's "knows how to wait" sounds incredibly sexy :D
hopefully the "sageuk talk" wasn't a big problem for any first-timers.

thanks for the article Javabeans... agree with tippy...the hanboks are great and of course UTW looks good , too... i almost didn't recognize him when i first saw his picture... been looking forward to this drama but now I am torn as to which drama to tune in for the livestream when they air... I love GHJ ( hoping for an HIT 2 ) as well as JJH ( who stars in the man who can't get married).

I know UTW is an actor who takes on serious roles, but I hope he'd star as a leading man in a romantic comedy. Delightful girl Chun-hyang was a comedy, but his role was of a serious man- but I noticed he was pretty good at being funny in the few comedic parts he had.

Love Uhm a lot. His acting in The Devil was really good. I really felt for him. The hanboks are gorgeous....Can't wait for this to come out.

I have not been able to really get back on the saddle of kdrama since Capital Scandal ended. Watching this here and there. Didn't care for BOF hype either....BUT now here I go waiting for this drama to air so I can lock myself in my room fat and happy feasting on kdrama like I used (good times)!!! UTW is one of the most brilliant actors! I absolutely was captivated and now in a sageuk (He'd have a chance to really steal my heart from Kang Ji Hwan, I don't know what it is but historical dramas are soooo good, the way love is conveyed in historical dramas really shows "true love"). I love sageuks!!! why can't his leading lady be Han Ji Min?!?!?!? She's good in sageuk.
hehehe...didn't realize I left more than a comment:)

"For some reason i don’t see the main male lead not so attractive in his outfit.. maybe the hair thing doesn’t match him…"
There's also footage of Eom Tae Woong donning the beard, and it becomes him. And I mean, he's a dreamy sageuk oppa. These pictures just don't him justice. :)
