Upcoming Drama Happiness

[walkwithheroes]

Firstly, I want to give all my American f-listers a Happy 4th. I think it's become too crazy, but even I ate the hotdogs and the red, white, and blue strawberry shortcake.

Secondly, Myung Wol the Spy has several stills out - it looks like a fun drama with a bit of angst thrown in. Is it July 11th yet?

Thirdly, I'm suddenly looking forward to the weekend drama A Thousand Kisses because of the secondary cast: Kim So Eun (Boys Before Flowers) has been added as the leading lady's (Seo Young Hee) younger sister. She's also in love with Ryu Jin's character (Summer Scent, Loving You a Thousand Times). And Ryu Jin's character may or may not be the ex-husband of Seo Young Hee's character. How juicy!

Fourthly, a new Korean drama has been announced - Forget Me Not and the leading man is rumored to be Song Seung-Heon (East of Eden, My Princess). Also, the drama will be written by Kim Soo-Hyun, who wrote the weekend drama hits Life is Beautiful and Mom Has Grown Horns.

I need a kdrama to help me get over Terminator, lol. Myung Wol sounds potentially super fun and at least kdramas provide me with the comfort of not being cancelled so easily.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I think Myung Wol will be fun. I need a fun drama. I think that's why I like Asian (and even U.K.) dramas - they may get an episode cut, but you know they won't be out right canceled.

That's definitely a huge draw + they aren't as intimidatingly long. I mean, I am raging so much now that it ended just like that but the great irony is I probably would've been 100x more reluctant to start T:SCC had it gone on for a heap longer.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I just wish it had had another 13 episodes to wrap things up. The third season sounds like it would have been brilliant.

I'm so excited for Kim So Eun's new drama! I'm actually looking forward to the Ryu Jin/Kim So Eun pairing. But then I feel really pervy because that man is old enough to be her father!

I'm wondering if those two really will end up together in the drama?

KSE was one of the only good things about Boys Before Flowers. She's usually one of the only good things about any dramas she's in. So, I'm really hoping that this drama will be good. Isn't Ryu Jin 39 or so? It's a bit perverted, but he can look young if he is styled right. Plus, she's been playing older than her age lately. She's 22; she just looks young. The age difference is 17 years.

Dramas are really getting into two OTPs and Ryu Jin isn't the male lead. And, this is a weekend drama, so there is a good chance they will get together.

[att123.livejournal.com]

Wasn't she though? I think she was partially the reason I ended up sticking around for the BBF trainwreck. Yeah I think he's 39. Your right, she does play older than her age. Its just kind of funny cause she was in the same type of romance in her previous daily drama.

OHHH I really hope so! I want him to get his own girl. Ryu Jin is too awesome to lose out on the girl!

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

The three characters in my icon are the only reason I stayed with the show. And, I mostly fast forward through it; only watching their scenes. I looked it up, he'll be 39 in the Fall; so he's currently 39, nearly 40 by the Korean calender. She's 22 by the Korean calender and will be 23 this Fall (born in '89; he was born in '72.) I watched a lot of her last drama, the daily one. Her romantic interest was born in '78. So, she seems to be someone who will get paired with older men.


I'm not sure how the story will play out, but I have a feeling Ryu Jin will get the girl. :) He deserves it.

[att123.livejournal.com]

I loved them all too! I wish that WB got more of a storyline though. I watched a little bit of the daily series and I only watched for her scenes :)

He really does! Ryu Jin is such a cutie, it really sucks to watch him constantly miss out on the girl.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

WB should have been given a larger role or a storyline. But, to fair, his Japanese counterpart doesn't really have a lot to do either. I only watched her scenes too.

I think Ryu Jin has made a career of playing the secondary guy or the jerk. I'm interested in who he'll play.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Myung wol looks fun. Have you managed to watch heartstings. So yi Hyun character a bit too weepy. Hopefully that can improves

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I've yet to watch Hearstrings, but I've heard that SYH's character is very weepy in the first two episodes. But, it seems that the male director was in a romance and has been watching her. Hopefully, things will lighten up with those two. SYH is too good of an actress to spend the next fourteen episodes crying.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Blah.. I just watched the preview for tomorrow episode. Unfortunately Yong Hwa kiss SYH character and SYH character has become one of the most hated character in Heartstring fandom because of the kiss. All those young girls/fans... ckckckck ..

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

She's become hated on soompi? Wait, she doesn't kiss him - he kisses her. *sigh* That's why I don't visit boards like soompi, unless I'm looking for pictures or links - so much immaturity. It's just a show! And, we all know that those two characters won't be together in the end. Why get pissed because a boy with a crush kisses a woman; he'll end up with the girl. (And why get pissed at the woman? Double standard.)

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Not only on soompi, also on youtube. All the comments are sort of like yonghwa kiss can only be reserved for park shin hye and they are hating SYH character cause they said she didn't like him why she would accept the kiss. I really don't like these fans. And some in other heartstring forum (china forum) even attack SYH look saying she looks ugly to be secondary and she must have done unsuccessful operation cause her face is not symetric. Crazy. Fans for heartstrings are much worse I reckon. They think PSH is the best ever which she's pretty good but not a goddess.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Okay, all of that? Is so immature and stupid. It makes me embarrassed to be a drama fan, it really does. People need to get over that sort of thing. Be angry for a minute and then move on. Don't bring actresses into it. Jeez.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Exactly I know.. and now I guess they want the girl to be smitten by the boys are PSH.. Everywhere in other forum wants the teacher Song Chang Ui & Yong Hwa to be fighting about her. That's their wish now. They don't care about other actress... or other character. So immature

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Really immature. But, I've noticed that many people on message boards only seem to care about the main couple. I think they are heading toward having SCU's character have a thing for PSH - but, maybe because she reminds him of his college days.I refuse to go to the soompi thread for this because they are all obsessed with YH, PSH, and the two as a couple. Nothing else matters. That's what bugs me about the people - the craziness of the fans.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Oh yea.. the soompi only focus on YH, PSH and those two as couple where as dramabeans.. some of them are heading towards PSH & SCU. Anyway as long as PSH is loved by whoever, they'd love him. So they now wants YH & SCU to be fighting for PSH. Blah .. there's no love for So Yi Hyun character. I agree her character is bit too weepy but to be honest she's one of the reason why i'm checking the show. The show itself is not that great though. The quality is so far from let's say Dream High. Bit wasted.

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Truthfully at the Hearstring fangirls (and boys?) are making me rethink watching the drama. It looks cute and breezy enough, but if the fans are too obsessed with a character/actor/couple, it really can turn a person off.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

what I did now is just to watch the show without going to read stuff on soompi. It's a bit sad but i don't want my mood to be ruined by them

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I'm going to be doing the same.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Yup... and hopefully they're going to increase the toughness of SYH character. it's so wasted if not

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Yes. Hopefully, SYH's character is given more to do soon.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Heard some good news about Heartstrings today... seems like they're already pairing up SYH and the director... my only hope is that she's not hated anymore... so now fans could focus more on their own idol OTP

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it seems she's still hated, because the male lead still likes her. Not that its her fault, but whatever. *sigh*

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Crazy fan girl... it's for storyplot and the most important is she didn't like her..
Sometimes it's so annoying to have a drama with idol actor/actress where their fans are just nuts

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

True. The drama really seems to just be a mess. On and off set.

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

You know what.. no wonder the rating is like so bad...
I think only the overseas fans are just crazy.. Im not sure how crazy is the korean fans becuase the rating is not that high in there anymore which means not much people are watching the show

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Good news!!!.. seems like Shin in Heartstring is over So Yi Hyun character. what a relieve to hear about that pheww

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Awesome news

[wywy86.livejournal.com]

Yup.. although i'm convinced that So Yi Hyun & Song Chang Eui won't be given a well deserved character in it. Most probably like a flower vase character

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

I agree. I think their characters will be very one-note. Sad.
