Official posters for 49 Days
by javabeans
With only one more day before 49 Days premieres, here are the official posters for the fantasy drama, which is pretty enough, despite making it look like our boys are sprouting from the ladies’ heads, Athena-style.
I do like the water motif, which alludes to the drama’s premise wherein Nam Gyuri must “earn the tears” of three people in order to return to the land of the living, as stated by her hottie reaper boy, Jung Il-woo. The second poster, which features Lee Yo-won (the body that the main character inhabits as she tries to earn her way back), employs more overt teardrop imagery. Both posters feature the tagline, “Do you have three people who truly love you?”
That’s pretty sad, actually, to realize that it’ll be a daunting task to find three people who love you. At least, daunting enough to carry 16 episodes of will-she-or-won’t-she suspense. And if she doesn’t find those three people, will she get eternity with Jung Il-woo instead? I’m sure living would be preferable, but as far as consolation prizes go, it could be worse…
I’m really hoping 49 Days sparks my interest, if only because I’m in something of a drama dry spell at the moment. There are a bunch of new series available for watching (Midas, Royal Family, Thorn Birds, Crime Squad, The Duo…), but none have held my attention for longer than an episode. I’ve tried, but nothing’s sticking. And while I’ve long ago learned not to pin hopes based on cast, this one’s hitting the right buttons for me, with Seo Ji-hye, Jo Hyun-jae, and Bae Soo-bin joining the above-named leads.
Well, if it doesn’t work out, maybe it’s a hint to turn my attention to something older that I’ve been meaning to catch up on…
49 Days premieres tomorrow, March 16, on SBS in the post-Sign timeslot.

I do agree with JB though about the dry spells in drama....none of the new ones airing has caught my interest....hopefully 49days will be THE one....if not...well, there's a few k-dramas in my HD which I need to start on anyways!

one of the top reasons i'll be watching this drama is coz of Bae soo bin & J hyun jae who i missed for 2 yrs since he was in the military! I like JIW too since MFL but the two actors are one of my ten best!

Love the Korean drama 49 Days and the character that he plays. Glad that they have English subtitles. Googled his and Lee Yo Won actor/actress profiles. Both were in Daemang (Great Ambition). Watched all 61 episodes. He played the Crown Prince. His acting skills have improved greatly and he looks great now. Hope to see more of him in Korean Dramas with English subtitles. First time watching Korean Dramas in US.
