Miss Korea’s preview introduces its cast

by javabeans

This preview for MBC’s Miss Korea has zero dialogue, but still manages to deliver a pretty efficient intro to the show, which looks (I hope) easygoing and cute. At least, that’s what I expect of the writer-director duo who are reteaming for a third time after Pasta and Golden Time, Kwon Seok-jang and Seo Sook-hyang.

Okay, so medical drama Golden Time was hardly full of rom-com shenanigans, but I’m confident this is a team who knows how to make the most use of their charismatic leading man, Lee Seon-kyun, another repeat customer in this production lineup. Rock band Every Single Day will also be returning as music director, which makes me happy; their inclusions in Pasta and My Princess (another of PD Kwon’s projects) were pretty key in stirring my emotions at crucial moments.

As we know by now, the story revolves around Lee Seon-kyun spearheading the scheme to turn former high school princess Lee Yeon-hee into Miss Korea to save his cosmetics company. In the preview, she makes her way to take the stage at some big event, and along the way we get a glimpse of the other players: Lee Sung-min playing someone called Teacher Jung, beauty salon owner Lee Mi-sook, Song Sun-mi making a drastic image change to play one of the cosmetic company employees, rival contestant Go Sung-hee, and Lee Ki-woo as a macho businessman trying to elbow our hero out of his company. (Huh, there are a lot of Lees in this cast.)

Miss Korea premieres in another week on December 18.

I can`t believe SM is producing two potentially good dramas. Looking forward to both Prime Minister and I and Miss Korea.

if i like the actors, i'll watch anything they're in. well at least i tried a few eps, but i rarely didn't stick with it till the end. kinda stubborn like that. just wanna say i'll do the same this time for lee seon-kyun.
and don't be fooled by cute trailers, look at where it got us with mi rae's choice.
hoping this one will be breezy and fun. pasta was easy to watch for the conflicts were kinda harmless and the cuteness were in abundance.

agree the trailers might be cute but we don't know what's gonna happen. god, I'm still frustrated with MHIYD, still can't get that drama out of my system, I hate it when we don't have closure >.<
hope this one gonna be better

Wait a minute, is this the same writer from this article?

http://www.dramabeans.com/2012/11/golden-time-writer-puts-foot-in-mouth-insults-cast/

Are they working together again after that debacle?

Actually, no! Pasta and Golden Time were written by two different people. I think Javabeans made a mistake there.

Looks cute. The very end where Lee Yeon Hee and Lee Sun Kyun walk through the door together was a nice shot. They looked nice side by side, too.

I'm looking forward to it. I like premise and the voice and the pillar, haha.

I hope it's cute. Heirs looked cute and totally traumatized me. Mirae's Choice looked cute, but the ending made me want to find the writer and...
These previews can be so misleading I am starting not to trust them.

Didn't know Song Sun Mi was part of the cast too.
Another plus, loved her and Lee Sung Min in Golden Time. Hopefully they will have a loveline here too?

Don't know why I'm not excited by the drama even after the 1st trailer. I'll wait for the 1st episode to decide. Lee Ki Woo will break my heart though...
