Upcoming kdrama roster - looking good!
Brilliant Legacy is over (don't spoil me!) but we have so much to look forward to.
NOTE TO SELF: Get a clone so you can fit in real life and all these dramas.
So, these are the upcoming Korean dramas:
AIRING
FRIEND - the most arthouse drama I have ever seen. Former friends turned mobsters played by Hyun Bin, Kim Min Joon. And Seo Do Young as the helpless to intervene in the destruction third friend in this friendship. This might be the best drama I have ever seen.
SWALLOW THE SUN - mercenaries, true and forbidden love, ANGST, tough hero who worships heroine and my huge favorites Ji Sung, Sung Yuri, and Lee Wan.
AUGUST
TAKE CARE OF THE LADY - comedy with Yoon Eun Hye as a rich girl who hooks up with her butler :P Woo-hoo! Bonus is Jung Il Woo as her fiance - I adore this guy since Return of Iljimae and will be uncanon-shipping.
DREAM - more like 'dream cast.' Kim Bum is a hoodlum who takes up professional fighting under the guidance of Joo Jin Mo. There are some ladies in it but who cares? I sure don't. I hope this one will be testosterone-fueled all the way.
HON - A horror drama starring Lee Seo Jin, one of the few actors I will watch in anything and everything. This sounds like it could be very awesome, with spirits, school girls and dead twins.
FALL
IRIS - the drama of the year for me. Arguably, the drama of the last 5 years for me. Assassins, spies, forbidden love, tough men and tougher ladies, and a cast to die for - Lee Byung Hun (finally back to dramas), Jung Joon Ho (my newest love), Kim Tae Hee (if she can act half as well as she loooks, we are set), TOP, Kim Seung Woo, and Kim So Yeon. October.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL - Hong Sisters, my favorite drama writers ever, are back with a drama about idol singers starring Jang Geun-Seok. This will be ridiculously awesome. October.
HEADING TO THE GROUND - Yunho and Go Ara star in a drama about a star soccer player. While I weep for the fact that it almost was Dangermousie crush's Kim Rae Won last drama before the Army, this sounds like it could be utterly fun - Yunho looks hot and I adore Go Ara. September.
CHUNO - A period drama by the writer of Conspiracy in the Court starring Jang Hyuk (OMG!) and Han Hyo Joo, and dealing with runaway slaves. I am so very there. Airing after IRIS is done. (Only fitting - of all the upcoming ones, the ones I am looking forward to the most are IRIS (above all) and then Chuno).
