Poster shoots for I Do, I Do
by javabeans
Um… am I going to have to revoke hotness points from I Do, I Do for its poster shoots? And it had done so well with that motorcycle shoot the other day, all snuggly and handsy.
Because let’s face it, no matter how cute your younger stud of a boyfriend is, not a single one of the activities I want to be doing with said hottie is swapping heels with him. Or watching as he works a pair of red patent leather pumps with a saucy grin and hip-twist. (That said, I’m pretty sure the heels on leading man(-child) Lee Jang-woo and runner-up Park Gun-hyung are photoshopped on, and poorly at that. You’d think the shoes would fit, wouldn’t you?)
Don’t get me wrong; the shoes are a great motif, considering that both ladies, Kim Sun-ah and Im Soo-hyang, play shoe designers. They’ll be rivals, with Kim as the successful gold miss and Im portraying a “cold city girl” type. It’s just that I don’t think you’ve got to put the men IN the shoes to get that point across. Unless the image you want for your leading men isn’t so much a virile young stud who impregnates the heroine, but more like gabby homegirl who shares her fashion sense.
I Do, I Do premieres on May 30 on MBC.

Have you seen Lee Jang-woo at "Three Brothers"??
I think there was one episode where the entire crew of Lee Joon-hyeok had to masquerade as "ladies" (2 of the crew were fail, and looked more like drag-looking pimps more than anything), and wow, LJH looks mighty fine...though I did forget how LJW looked that time...
...so yeah, I drabbled yet again... *sigh*

I LOOOVE the men-in-heels idea, but definitely they should have never had the men pose so effeminate. It could have been a good joke about men being strong and confident enough to wear heels, but instead it looks awkward and forced. Other than that, JESUS CHRISSST effing Sun Ah is the most beautiful woman eveeeer!!!!!! My girl crush on her keeps growing!!!!! :)

I'm super sad to see all the really trans and gender bending phobic posts and rhetoric. I's always kinda thought dramabeans was a friendly-er space.
I do understand disliking photoshopping, but the really blatant dislike of male identified folks doing something feminine is upsetting.
I also understand there are significant gender roles at play in kdrama land and in Korea and the U.S., however I've always loved that jb and gf often pick that apart, and I'm disappointed.
I also personally love a man in heels.

I totally with Ravin. There is something kinda ugly and off-putting lurking here and it's disappointing to see.
Obviously, we don't live in a world where everyone's taste/preference/ideas of attractiveness are the same. And it's totally cool to have personal opinions or preferences.
But when the hate on one idea (this photo set is less attractive) is generalized too all ideas (all men acting femme/ wearing femme attire is less attractive), then it becomes excluding to those people on other ends of the sexual/gender spectrum.

Rather, I think that what ravin (& Mfred) is trying to say is that some of the comments are bordering on offensive.
The readers of dramabeans is a small community and we all have to be respectful. You never know who is reading or who's day you may be making or un-making.

Indeed, the idea appeals to me (cross-dressing that is: boyish gals and girly men who can be straight or gay or anywhere in between).
The idea is fun; the execution (photoshop crime!) is terrible.

Oh brother. Can't we just hate on something because we don't think it's fashionable or funny or cute? Does every taste decision have to be a reflection of some sort of phobia? Sheesh. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and making some sort of global assumption about people's values - or lack thereof - based on a casual comment in a blog is a bit much. I won't say it is judgmental hysteria - because that would be judgmental... ;-)

True, that. My crack about 'tranny-heels' upthread was just that - I always laugh when I see a feminine stilleto shoe in a size 14 plus. It has nothing to do with transgender issues - it's just an amusing visual, kind of like seeing Dwayne 'The Rock' dressed in that Toothfairy costume.
It's just funny. Nothing more, nothing less.

please explain me how it is bad to dislike men being feminine when you are heterosexual.
I don't know much about trans- phobic.
In my opinion, as an heterosexual, you get a certain idea of attractiveness, which is influenced by the soical idea of a man's attractiveness.
So, I don't see the problem with saying you don't like a man (supposed heterosexual like in this drama) in heels when you are yourself heterosexual.
It's not like they were talking about actual transexuals. THAT would be annoying to see ppl saying they don't like actual transexuals because of their feminity. Here the men are not portrayed as transexual, but has heterosexuals.
I don't find those photos funny nor attractive. Idk what's the message they tried for us to get through.

I don't think the distaste is with gender-bending in general or trans people--that certainly wasn't the intent, at least. What makes this a poor photo concept is more the disconnect behind intent and message. If this WERE a drama about drag queens, I'd be all for it--rock on with your heel-lovin' selves, men. That's not the point of the show, though, so I think it misses the mark.
Frankly, I'm just turned off by the terrible photoshop job. You'd think they could have drawn on shoes to actually look like they were being worn! Lee Jang-woo isn't even IN those shoes. Bah.

I admit that like you, i was a bit turned off too by the photoshoot concept because frankly, Lee Jang Woo is too manly to put in red high heels and i feel that it is such a turn off and a waste of his good looks to make him appear like a pansy beside the gorgeous girls of this drama.
However, it does look like they're having so much fun any which way in that photo that my sentiments were appeased a little even just by that fact.
And then these photo came out and i almost forgot the weirdness that the initial photos brought out.
They all look so smashingly sexy in this picture, i wish they could have just stuck with this concept.

Dramas tend to have more than one poster design, so I wouldn't rule it out. I feel like they'll go with both. I wonder if anyone noticed that in the the second picture in this post the dudes aren't in heels? They're feet are cut off a bit, but you can tell.
These are just three shots out of probably hundreds, so we still don't really know which ones they may use.

I think it's hilarious and fun and I don't see a problem with it at all. I'm surprised a majority of people are so turned off. I don't think there is any meaning behind it rather than the photographer just playing with the fact that one of the characters is a shoe designer, so hey let's make this fun and put all of you in heels. Or, like stated, the shoes are a motif so maybe they get related to the shoes their in. But really?... All in all...
it's a poster ya'll, chill.
If an item of footwear could take away forms of masculinity or femininity then women probably wouldn't be able to wear anything BUT heels.
And that would be a true shame seeing as I can't walk in those things, LOL.

May 8, 2012 at 2:38 PM
I could see how that would be random unless they are make-up artists or work with make-up, then it's not. But I've never seen Color of Woman, so I'm not sure.
I guess everyone would have been cool if they were just HOLDING the heels, but I mean, either way I don't mind because I don't see anything wrong. Seeing as how the shoes don't even fit the guys, this was probably an on-the-spot decision that the photographer wanted to try for laughs and decided to share with the media for some hype. That could explain the badly done--more like wasn't planned out prior. But who knows?? O: The land of dramas is a strange place.
These are three shots of dozens I'm sure so we'll eventually see what actually ends up on the poster.

I do think the poster conveys atmosphere of fun and playfulness so am not sure why ppl are turned off by it but I guess it's just personal taste and preferences.
To me, the concept of the poster is simple - beta men wearing alpha female shoes. I can foresee female characters having a dominant personality in this show and I think to a certain extent this poster serves the purpose. I'm not sure how the story will play along with the motif of shoes so let's wait and see. Or, even more obvious would be the meaning of "men standing in the shoes of women", don't cha think?

Heels are overrated. Hope this series won't be. I like Kim SunAh but I'm not sure I'll be catching this for the reason I dislike shows revolving too much around fashion. I don't think I can be told too often that unless you squeeze your feet in uncomfortable shoes you're a nobody, a lazy ungroomed woman or simply a loser. I will not stand idolizing shoes. However, with the baby on its way, maybe the characters will concentrate on other aspects of life?

Have you ever watched In Time With You? It's a taiwanese drama. The lead there also worked in the fashion/shoe business and she related some things to shoes but it wasn't all about that. I'm hoping they take that kind of route with this show.
