First stills from Thousand Day Promise

Here’s our first look at upcoming drama Thousand Day Promise, with Su Ae and Kim Rae-won as lovers battling against time and memory. I’m ridiculously excited for this drama, despite the fact that it’s a melodrama and destined to be a tear-jerker. I LOVE Su Ae, and JB LOVES Kim Rae-won (I’m not allowed to love him. In fact I can only say his name three times in this article or else she’ll start a rampage.) so I think it’s safe to say we’re on pins and needles for this drama.

The latest drama by acclaimed screenwriter Kim Soo-hyun centers around a heroine struggling with memory loss (as in, her memory begins to deteriorate, not amnesia from the get-go). Kim Rae-won plays the stalwart boyfriend who stands by her side, as they struggle to hold onto their love. I think it’s a great premise, and one that’s similar to a story like Scent of a Woman, except it gets to explore significantly different themes. It’s a race against the clock, but in a different, and I think more compelling way.

And best of all, it’s been in production since late August, and the scripts are in for ten of the sixteen episodes. That means no rushing, no crap live shoots, no half-assed editing on the fly. The story is engaging, the cast is A-list, and I trust the writer. In a nutshell, most anticipated drama of the fall.

Thousand Day Promise follows Warrior Baek Dong-soo on SBS and premieres October 17.

Hello Girlfriday ^^

I know it's totally out of the blue but I just want to suggest to you this great Taiwanese drama of ARIEL LIN :) It's about a man and a woman who are both in 30's, THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS for 15 YEARS and they made this bet about whoever gets to get married before they turn 35 will win. The title is IN TIME WITH YOU and so far, only episode 1 is out with subtitles.

check out the trailer here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFoOtUEYrbw&feature=player_embedded#!

I read before here that you like best-friends-love-story so I decided to go and recommend this drama to you! Hehe ^^

It's really a good series! Give it a try! :D

I'm excite to watch but I'm such a sap, I cry during rom-coms :P. Imagine a true melo, I'll have super swollen eyes for weeks ! My friends will be like, "So you've been doing all nighters all week for all those papers due? Yeah, me too." Then I'll be like, "No.... I'm screwed. I've been using my time to watch dramas. They're the reason I have panda eyes."

Story of my life.

Oh please, 'memory loss' is the oldest trick of tear-jerker KDramas. I think the cast is good, but scriptwriters, please come up with something original.
