Bad Guy releases first set of stills
by javabeans
SBS’s Bad Guy won’t premiere until May, but here’s our first look at the three lead characters, played by Kim Nam-gil, Han Ga-in, and Kim Jae-wook. (None yet of actress Oh Yeon-soo, who completes the main foursome.)
These photos come from the production’s recent trip to Gero-onsen, one of the top three hot springs in Japan. Han Ga-in’s art consultant character Jae-in goes there to meet with a famous (but bad-tempered) glass artisan, and first encounters Kim Nam-gil’s Gun-wook character. Gun-wook has come to Japan as the personal secretary to Kim Jae-wook’s Tae-sung character, who is the successor to a large corporation, Haeshin Group.
This’ll be the first drama series for Han Ga-in in three years (since 2007’s Witch Amusement), and she explained her first impressions of her co-stars: “Kim Nam-gil can seem like a jokester, but when he’s acting he is extremely serious and has a diverse kind of appeal. Kim Jae-wook has this cute boyish side to him, so I’m comfortable with him.”
Kim Nam-gil said, “Han Ga-in is one of the actresses I’ve always had a good feeling about. Personally, working together with her on this drama is an honor.” Kim Jae-wook said, “Kim Nam-gil gives off this unapproachable aura so at first I was nervous, but now I’m comfortable with him. He jokes around and is like a good hyung to me. Also, I was really surprised that Han Ga-in, who has a graceful image, is very easy-going and like a guy.”
Bad Guy is directed by PD Lee Hyung-min of I’m Sorry, I Love You and Snow Queen. The production finished filming in Japan on March 4, and has now returned to Korea. In mid-March, they’ll head down to Jeju Island for more filming.

It's probably just me, but I'm getting Old Boy vibes with the first pic. A younger version of Oh Dae-su :)
Looking forward to see how this one turns out!

Can you imagine if the drama had the tone of Old Boy? But I don't think they have the guts, anyway stills look promising, I need a thriller.

So they did it. They cut Kim Jae Wook's hair. A part of me just died.
Kim Nam Gil!!! I'm not one to idolize (KJW's hair being an exception) but I just love this guy to bits. I really hope this show is a success both critically and commercially, for his sake. Isn't he going into the army after this? Being new to Kdrama world, I've not yet had to bid any of my beloved actors farewell for 2 years. And just when I discover KNG he enlists in the army. *sobs* I'll be miserable.
Not that I have anything against Han Ga In, but I wish they'd cast someone I'm more familiar with and fond of. Lee Min Jung would have been my first pick.

OMGAAAD! *bites nails*
This looks sooo good!
I havem't seen Witch Amusement and don't intend to, so I'm keeping an open mind in relation to the lead actress, hopefully she'll be awesome in this.
And what can I say about the two hotties... eeeep! *makes kissy faces at KMG*

I can't wait for this drama to air. This would probably be the last drama Kim Nam Gil would star in before he serve in the military.

Hahah, I'm SO not going to have free time at all with all these dramas coming out soon. Not that I'm complaining. I'm still not sold on Han Ga-in, but whatever.
@ mishane
YES, it's him.
