Drama Babble...

[dangermousie]

hiiyaa's post reminded me of how excited I am of the upcoming Korean drama Worlds Within. Darned if I have any idea of what it is about, but it stars two of Korea's arguably most beautiful actors, Hyun Bin (Snow Queen, Kim Sam Soon) and Song Hye Kyo (Full House, All In), was filmed in Singapore and has manpain (and womanpain).

What's not to love? Two trailers:

My upcoming most anticipated 2009 kdramas are one of the following three:

* Worlds Within

* IRIS: which stars the awesome Lee Byung Hun in his return to dramaworld. I'd watch anything with LBH, but this has international spies, angsty love story, and is possibly based on the wonderful movie Shiri.

* Triple: figureskaters, the PD of Coffee Prince, and the triple of hotness that is Kang Ji Hwan, Yoon Kye Sang, and Lee Sun Gyun

I am also excited for:

* Hana Yori Dango (duh)

* Star's Lover: Yoo Ji Tae and Choi Ji Woo (double swoon), with the whole 'normal guy in love with a star' storyline

Though, of course, if the rumored Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon romcom kdrama happens, all bets are off.

And in conclusion, is it any wonder I love Korean dramas? Normally, the whole plot cliche of "he is wounded and she takes care of him. In a cave" would only be in fic, but lovely Kingdom of the Winds believes in being very good to fangirls:

The upcoming prospect of "IRIS" with Lee Byung Hun and "Worlds withing" feel me with enormous glee. 20+ episodes of Lee Byun Hun. I AM SO WAITING FOR THIS.

But I am less gleeful about Korean figure-skating.

I love the three actors in this enough not to care about the topic, but since I am a total figure-skating nut, the topic is a huge bonus!

alsdkfja WORLD WITHIN!!! I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW EXCITED I AM!!! *flails around like a mad woman* THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE TRAILERS!!

I'm curious about Triple. I mean, I like figure skating, but I never watched a figure skating drama... As long as it promises to have a plot and not like, competition after competition to be the 'world's best figure skater, etc etc', I'm up for it.

I don't think it will be all competitions for the simple reason I don't think any of their actors are skaters :)

My list of most anticipated dramas looks very similar...only I think I'd directly reverse the order.

God, I can't wait until they confirm the Yoon/Ji-Hoon drama.

If that drama does happen, I might just explode of glee.

Yow! I wonder what's up with the crazy pink subtitle font. :/

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I guess the subber liked pink :)

Eeeeeee! Last caps!! :D Re: SHK. She looks rather slimmer in this. I can't wait to watch it too!

It sounds so fun!

this is what happens when i drop off the radar for months... months worth of back reading on your journal that i have to do... with glee i might add!

I wasnt going to watch tazza or kingdom of winds or east of eden, but i've finally cracked and will give it a go! I never recovered from Autumn Love or tale or whatever it's called starring the Song Seung dude from East of Eden.

on the other had, i really want to watch When It's At Night and The Worlds Within even if they don't seem to be doing well.

I don't rec EoE...I finally got bored with it - it's 50 eps plus a likely extention so it's very draggy.

The other two (especially KotW) are excellent though!
