Cast of SBS’s Dream prays for a successful run
by javabeans
SBS’s new drama Dream is about to replace the historical drama Ja Myung Go on Mondays and Tuesdays, and on the 15th held its customary pre-show ceremony to wish for good luck and a successful broadcast.
With the buzz this drama has (mostly over its lead cast of Kim Bum, Joo Jin-mo, and Sohn Dam-bi), expect that curiosity to show itself in the premiere numbers. Whether it can hold onto viewers against MBC’s powerhouse Queen Seon-deok is another story.
Kim Bum explained feeling the weight of expectations, saying, “Of the F4 members, I’m the first to show a transformation. It’s true that I feel pressure. I was aided a lot by borrowing the shell of the So Yi-jung character from the popular original series. I don’t think to be content with one image, but that I should wake up from fantasy and have to change.”
About the physical requirements of the character (who practices mixed martial arts), Kim said, “Actually, it’s been said that I’ve been devoting myself to building up my body, but because of the busy shooting schedule I haven’t had time to work out, so I’m managing what I eat.”
Dream premieres on July 27.
Kim Bum wishes for good luck as he assumes the role of a delinquent who takes on mixed martial arts:
Joo Jin-mo is a sports agent:
Sohn Dam-bi plays the daughter of a director of a mixed martial arts academy, while Choi Yeo-jin is a reporter:

I've really been looking forward to this drama. I like romance as much as the next girl but I really like action too, so I'm happy when the two come together. Thank goodness Joo Jin-mo is in this because I feel kind of icky about how cute I think Kim Bum is (too young, too young...must. not. go. there).

What's with Kim Bum's hair, did they import it from Quuen of Housewives to reuse it on his head? It's like a a bowl sprouted fur and clamped itself on Bummie's head. Not a good look. Hyun Bin did disheveled boxer look well in Snow Queen, but even then it added to the overall morbid personality he sported in that show. I hope KB gets it shorn soon, otherwise it's added weight to his already slight frame, and he just might topple over before the other super hot boxer boys land a single punch on it.
But my Joo Jin Mo looks mighty fine, looks like a detour through Frozen Flower land with Jo In Sung kept him nice and chiseled.

I don't think they will beat Queen Seon Duk but they might get pretty decent rating (at least I think so)?! JJM is in it that's why. Yoo Seung Ho will be appearing soon so the girls will definetly squeal! He is a little cutie pie also (like Kim Bum).

I think I have asked this before, but isn't Korea predominantly a Christian country? Many of the movie stars appear to be Christian (at least they openly wear the cross as jewelry or say they are). Or, at least, Korea has a sizable Christian population.
Why then are the ceremonies Buddhist? In the dramas and in real life, the funerals appear to be in the Buddhist traditions, and these "good luck" ceremonies are also Buddhist.
What's up with that?
More on point: I am sure Kim Bum will do just fine in this drama, just as long as there is no scene of him pseudoplaying a sax. Wow, I still shudder over how awfully awesome BBF was.

It's not Buddhist, it's just more of a Korean tradition. A sacrifice for good luck. I do not think Buddhism is very open with pig heads for sacrifices. lol.
Kim Bum got too skinny. :(

SD is nice looking and I like the way she's dressed. White is the best color for summer. Especially for a young actresses ...it makes them look fresh, cool. The other girl looks like a video girl in her black skinny pants and animal print top....so tacky. She's so tall and could have worn something really cool but she ends up looking oh so boring and predictable. I have never seen a reporter dressed like that unless she's working for mtv.
KB's looking pale and haggard. Amazing for someone his age. JJM who is so much older looks so vital and charged. KB must be partying too hard or probably his agency is working him too hard.

Korea is not a predominantly Christian country. Most of the population is atheist.
I thought Son Dam Bi was tall but Choi Yeh Jin is REALLY tall... O_O

Kim Bum looks tired. His dark circles are showing. And he does look like he lost weight, maybe he's ripped now under that shirt!

Some traditions should be left in the past. Yuck with the pig head. I'm Korean and I think it is gross and superstitous. And I don't think real Buddhists use animals in their ceremonies. They respect all living creatures.

re: pig heads
I think it's a Taoist-ish tradition. Also in Asia, Buddhism is sorta intertwined with Taoism, Confucianism, and local traditions.
I see nothing wrong with it.
I mean, people are going to eat pork anyways, so you might as well make use of the head.
Besides pig ears are delicious :)

er Kim Bum really has to do something with that hair. it looks yucky like a mop. as much as i love him but the hair has to change. i really liked it when he was in that samsung ad with kim jun and kim hyun joong. the one where they all show their finger. yeah, THAT hair really suits him.
how is it that he looks so tired and JJM looks all energetic. btw i didnt JJM was this hot. hahah. he looks like a cool-ass gangsta.
Jessica - LOL at your comment.
i feel weird looking at a pig head as "luck". i guess the whole point is for it to be sacrificial and the poor pig got chosen. JJM looks like he's playing with the pig nose, lol.

oh and i hope KB doesnt have a love line with SD in the show. but i think they will judging from the trailer. i don't like her....its something and i can't put my finger on it. she seems a bit dense and trying too hard to be sexy. ok, you guys can stone me now.

kekeke :) I know what you mean.
It's like, how did a rabbit's foot come to mean good luck as well?
I wonder who decided on these arbitrary animal parts.

I am really looking forward to this drama! And I heard WithS2 will be subbing it! I can't wait! I might have to watch it without subs for the eye candy alone! I love me some Kim Bum! Did I ever mention HE IS MINE?!? *wicked, evil laughter* I think he looks SO CUTE in these pictures! He's always been slender, and, personally, I'm totally DIGGING the touselled hair look! I think he looks amazing, he's an amazing actor, and he's going to be amazing in this show! *sigh* Did I mention I love me some Kim Bum?

I have to be honest. I saw the preview and thought it was actually potentially interesting. Now, the only reservation I have is SDB's acting.. Hope she's not gonna screw up big time.

Joo Jin Mo looks absolutely gorgeous! However, I'm sad Kim Bum looks like he's been staying up every day for the past month due to chemotherapy. :( Srsly, him, along with Kim Hyung Joon need a year's worth of straight sleeping!

What's with Kim Bum's hair? With hair like that, it not very convincing to play a part of someone who is into martial arts. And he is way too thin. Aside from this, I am looking forward to Dream...hopefully it will be good.

KB definitely looks haggard. Those dark rings under his eyes definitely do not look good. JJM on the other hand is looking great!
