Bridal Mask - long trailer

[dangermousie]

Here is the newest, 5-min trailer and I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!!

I love that Joo Won plays someone who is an antihero (he is the officer for the Japanese!) and not a heroic avenger from the start - I love watching the slow (and I am sure painful) process of him transforming into someone good and someone who cares (you see glimpses of it when I think he recognizes the heroine as the girl he used to know and when he sees who the masked avenger really is). I love the aesthetic (one shot is totally Capital Scandal), I love that the heroine seems gutsy as hell, the secondary girl is an awesome assassin, and that Park Ki Woong gets to wield a badass sword. But, most importantly, I really do love that Joo Won starts the drama as a selfish collaborationist. That's...unusual, to say the least. And few actors can make me love their antagonists and root for them the way Joo Won does (the guy stole Baker King) and here he is both that and the hero. EEEE!

Is it me, or does it look vaguely cdramaish, btw? That is not a slam - I love period cdramas more than anything in the world.

My feelings exactly.

Ooo, this looks awesome! I also really like that the hero starts off on the wrong side, as it were. It looks like at the beginning he is kind of obsessed with catching the masked avenger (before he finds out it's his brother) - I hope he continues to act like his own number 1 enemy after he becomes the masked avenger himself, because that would be pretty fun to watch. :)

This would be hilarious!

Is it geeky to hope that by the end of this series he would somehow become frozen and somehow wake up in the present, only to team up with Lee Min ho's City Hunter? K-Dramas need crossovers.

Oh please, make it happen, drama Gods!

oooo, it looks so good. You know how I love the bad guys that have a soft spot for the heroine... maybe I should watch Baker King, I loved Joo Won in Ojakgyo Brothers...

You are going to LOVE his storyline in Baker King. It's 100% up your alley.

Definitely watching now, thanks mousie. I wish I could only watch his parts...I'm not interested in the main OTP.

I confess I skipped all the scenes not involving Joo Won and his OTP and rec you do the same
