An upcoming threefer
As you can tell by this LJ becoming cdrama central lately, no kdramas have been grabbing me this year, except for New Tales of the Gisaeng. However, a new crop is about to be out and hopefully this is about to change. In addition to Crime Squad, which I am very excited for and posted a trailer to earlier, these are the upcoming "Big Three" I plan to check out. Have the trailers.
Royal Family - family machinations, younger man-older woman (she helped raise him from the slums and now he's going to help her in his turn), and my huge fave Ji Sung. The trailer double-conforms my interest and made me want to do grabby hands at the screen. It looks pretty, intense, and shippy.
Thorn Birds - this one feels like a flashback to older melodramas and, luckily for me, I adore those. It seems intense and dysfunctional-passionate and has the cast I like the most of all the upcoming dramas - I've been dying to see Joo Sang Wook as the lead since he stole the show in Giant (and clearly the makers know what fangirls want - there is a shirtless scene in the trailer itself!), I love Han He Jin and Seo Do Young and Kim Min Jung. Bring it on!
49 Days - the most intriguing one of the bunch, about a young woman whose spirit must find three unrelated to her people to shed tears for her within the 49 day period or she will never wake up from the coma she is in. Lee Yo Won plays the woman whose body is taken over by the spirit, Jo Hyun Jae is the male lead (not sure how he comes in), Bae Soo Bin is the almost-dead girl's fiance, and Jung Il Woo is the grim reaper.
