dangermousie1. I have not been following any airing kdramas this summer but that is not because there is nothing that grabbed my attention. I plan to marathon Bad Guy, Comrades, and Coffee House when they are done. Especially Bad Guy. Speaking of which, have this bit of adorableness.
2. Speaking of upcoming summer kdramas - the more I see of Girlfriend Gumiho, the less interested I am. However, I am getting quite excited about Mischievous Kiss (Kim Hyun Joong is manga-pretty and Jung So Min can actually act. Plus, the production team is really good and horrific scriptwriter of BOF is nowhere in sight :P) and Sungkyunkwan Scandal - I adored the concept of Scandal from the start and my big worry, Yoochun's ability to be a convincing lead, has been dispelled after watching Beautiful Love. I am sure he will do just fine. (His looks don't make my heart flutter but at least I don't get "eeeek, ugly!" reaction I am getting from Lee Seung Gi's stills in Gumiho).
3. Last but not least. HA JI WON HAS BEEN CAST AS FEMALE LEAD OPPOSITE JANG HYUK IN SECRET GARDEN OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Not only that, but Philip Lee (that's Chuhro the Sexy Warlord from Legend) has been cast as well. With an awesome scriptwriter and the cast to die for this is quickly becoming an ultimate must-see.
4. ETA: Also, apparently, Cha In Pyo has been cast as secondary guy in Daemul. SQUEE, I adore him! (He was the secondary guy in my favorite Cinderella story, Star in My Heart, and recently was in fun period drama The Reputable Family).

Date: 2010-07-21 10:43 am (UTC)I just saw that too! HJW and JH! That's some great casting for us. I adore both of them.
The switching body thing does kind of put me off but there's a chance it could be great. I don't see HJW and JY getting involved in something that has a high potential of being crappy. Especially HJW who's really famous now and doesn't need to take whatever she can get.
I absolutely loathed the storyline of Michievious Kiss when I tried to read the manga but I think it has potential as a K-Drama (haven't seen the Tw-version but might be interested in it while waiting for its Korean counterpart. Don't want to see the old J-version). I'm one of the few who didn't see any glaring problems with Kim Hyun Joong's acting in BOF so I'm quite excited to see him in that role. The bizare orangy-hair of BOF will be gone too so that I'll be able to admire his prettiness with no reserve.
I'm really looking forward to Scandal too. Crossdressing was never my favorite trope in dramas but You're beautiful cured me of my aversion (yes, I shamelessly admit I'm one of those who adored this drama. And I'm currently rewatching the D-Cut).
What about What's Up? IJW's upcomming drama?
