Posters, previews, and predictions for Baby-Faced Beauty
by javabeans
I hope you guys all stocked up on your sleep, because with the premiere of Baby-Faced Beauty coming on Monday, you might find yourself having to make some important decisions about how to use your time.
And while this drama wasn’t initially on my radar as much as some other higher-profile ones, the more I see of it, the more I’m warming to its frothy cuteness. If the drama has anywhere near the bright, fluffy fun promised by the stills, I’ll be a happy camper. Except for the part where I feel conflicted about how to watch everything I want to watch without turning into a zombie, of course.
So here we go, a little refresher on the story, with a few speculations thrown in the mix:
This is the story of a girl who’s always wanted to be a fashion designer. But despite having the face of a teenager, she’s almost halfway through her thirties, not having such an easy time of it…
But eventually she lands a job with a fashion design company, working with people lots younger. At least she’s happy about it.
…although maybe she doesn’t have such a great relationship with the drinky.
No, really, lady. You might want to lay off the sauce. (Also: Giant martini!)
On the other hand, it does get her in the arms of a cutie, so maybe she knows what she’s about. It seems like they may have a water-related motif going on…
Although I really don’t want to know what THIS is all about:
But our Hero seems to like her, weird toilet fetish and all (and looky, how adorable is he!), even if she may be prone to injuring him. Purely accidentally, I’m sure.
And yes, the guy may be a little bumbling and dorky —
— and by that I mean, really, REALLY dorky —
But he’s also got a vulnerable side. Aw, tears. Thank goodness our heroine’s there to comfort Dorky Hero.
Except… enter the Hot Boss!
Hot Boss is hot. And has a suspicious daughter, who likes to manipulate the heroine to cater to her youthful whims. (Thankfully she’s not so bratty behind the scenes, though.)
The problem? HER. You know. The Snooty Bitch, only she has that magical power to fool everyone into thinking she is sweetness incarnate. She pours on the charm just in time, so that nobody but our Heroine ever witnesses her perfidy.
And it looks like she wants the Hot Boss for herself. Eep. And you know she’s not gonna play fair.
Still — boy, is it fun flirting with the Hot Boss.
See! He totally enjoys it, too. Nothing like a little workplace flirtation to liven things up.
Except…wait…
You mean HE works here too?
Uh-oh.
Who to choose, who to choose!? What’s a girl to do?
(As brilliant and right-on-the-money as I’m sure my predictions for Baby-Faced Beauty are, you might wanna tune in on Monday, May 2, to see how things really turn out. )

I thought "hot boss" was "Kang-ah" for a brief moment. I had to really stare at him to see the differences... but there aren't that many.

Well, they do play together in Potato Boy/Ballad of Soedongyo/Song of the Prince, perhaps they trade off some of their good looks to each other.
I don't know why Ryu Jin always get the second lead either. But I think he was the lead in one of the drama. I just forget the title.
Lie to me is a must, the Hong Sister is a must, this one is also a must see!
Gosh, so many to watch, so little time to do it!

lol. Yeah, sounds like you've got it all figured out! This does look so very cute, though. And I'm SO glad the lead is an adorkable rather than Mr. Cold type. With Lie To Me, Romance Town and oh, I don't know how many others, I'm going to have enough of Mr. Cold. Plus Daniel Choi is so cute! He should not be playing a mean person.

Daniel Choi is growing on me so much just through these stills. He kind of reminds me of Lee Chunhee and maybe that's why he's growing on me. But I love dorky characters and beta males so I'm half way in love already :)

I love that your own version is a better preview of the drama than all the trailers combined. It actually makes it sound a hell of a lot more entertaining. Nice way of posting tons of stills but not drowning us in them.

Nara and cast did the promo bit and appeared on happy Together 28th, guess all that wetness in making BFB didn't do Nara any good she differently had a cold at the lest. lol they seem to be making the most of Nara small size taking every chance to show her off between the two towering male leads.
For those that have not seen the second male lead may like to check out Country Calls.

I think I'm going to try to watch them all! Which reminds me:
Has anyone made a list of all the May/June dramas that includes all the premiere dates and such?
Normally, I would do this but I've been so busy with papers and finals coming up... I really shouldn't be on this site right now.

I think of all the May dramas coming up, this one looks the most fun! Love the cast and their looks for this drama! They all seem to fit their characters and have chemistry in these stills!
Their promo stuff is definitely cuter, fresher...love the style/ tone, and I hope the actual drama will live to its teasers.
(Unlike Cinderella Sister which had great promo, and a teaser video which had nothing to do with the drama!)

So glad that he's as dorky as he appears in the promo material! I've come to like (not love) many run of the mill tall, handsome, icy-types in my drama watchin' days, but it's the dorks that really set off the hearts in my eyes.

Absolutely watch this drama. Wow it looks like SBS, KBS and MBC want us watch their series simultaneously with Lie to me, Baby Faces Beauty, City Hunter, Best Love and Romance Town. God surely we need to find time to watch this series. Yeah Not So Great Timing.

Looks like the pairing isn't set in stone for this one. The leading guy does seem to be Daniel Choi. I think the drama trend nowadays is that the adorkable guy gets the girl rather than the darcy-esque type.
This is gonna be a tough call ladies...
But man oh man, does Ryu Jin look good in this or what? From the stills alone though, I'm kinda rooting for Ryu Jin. It's about freakin time he gets the girl.

those are really really cute dorky pictures of Daniel Choi.
And what happens with Ryu Jin's hair? don't think I like it now, but I have this feeling that I will eventually like it later. Man, it's Ryu frikkin Jin.
Jang Nara is making her come back, I really really want to see Samsookie makes his come back too. :(
btw that bitch 2nd lead, reminds me of my colleague. there is always that kind of bitch in the workplace.
( but unfortunately it's a really rare chance you get HOT BOSS like Ryu Jin. :( )

Based on 2 hit dramas "Tomato" and "Mr. Q".
Interaction with co workers are to be "Mr. Q". Love story is to be "Tomato."
"Tomato" was very overrated with it's main and sub cast, but if this drama can capture the essence of "Mr. Q", it will be a big hit.
The key to "Mr Q" was the awesome acting performance of its male lead, sub leads, and supporting actors. They easily covered up for the banal performance of Kim Hee Sun and made the drama exciting. The episodes tried to capture the essence of mega hit Japanese manga/drama and the most idolized character of Korea's salary men, Manager Sima Kosaku. I've heard Korea was to remake this drama as well. I hope Baby Face Beauty can capture the essence of this story.

haa this post is cute. i suspect this'll be pretty fluffy, which isn't a bad thing right now considering i'm sick and too drugged up on cold medicine to bother about the quality of the drama, so long as it's cute. same thing happened with me and personal taste (i had swine flu, lol) though granted i was also high off of discovering my love for k-dramas, so that might have had something to do with it as well... unfortunately i'm getting better and might not be as interested once my more critical mind returns, but it might be good for a rainy day when i have nothing else to do. can't wait for summer - it'll be home + k-dramas all the way :D

Let's get back to the toilet pictures - there's been a question I wanted to ask for a long time. When Koreans drink too much, and they need to barb, do they really stick their heads in the toilet bowl and barb? Do they know how much germs there are in that bowl?
