Okay folks, my December is reserved now. Every other drama out there airing during that time, to the left please. It’s been confirmed finally that my Jung Woo Sung is back, baby! And in a Noh Hee Kyung-penned drama no less. It’ll air on SBS in December and is tentatively called Padam Padam: The Sound of His and Her Heartbeat.
Oh glory hallelujah. This is like the exact opposite of the flashy piece of crap entertainment that was Athena: Goddess of War, and instead is an introspective piece pondering human interactions in the most subtle of ways. Noh Hee Kyung’s Goodbye Solo ranks as one of the best K-dramas I have ever watched. While I still can’t finish World’s Within, it’s not for the script or the story, but because I hated the presentation wrought by PD Pyo Min Soo. BRB, off to cry tears of joy first.

The rumored leading lady is Han Ji Min, who has been attached to Padam Padam for over a year now, though never officially confirmed. I have my reservations about Han Ji Min. I don’t dislike her, I just never connect with her performances, even when she is admittedly doing a solid job like in Resurrection and Capital Scandal. At this point, I chalk it up to “it’s me, not her.”
I’m also extremely leery of the foot and a half height differential between the two leads, as Jung Woo Sung is one of the tallest leading men in K-ent, and Han Ji Min is one of the most petite. Such disparate heights always makes me think of a giant dating a dwarf. I know, I know, it’s just me being weird. Or as Mr. X said to me, and I paraphrase: “height doesn’t matter when they are laying down in bed.” Touche, sir.

1st!!! lol srry i had an urge...
This is MUCH better news than Athena. I mean, really, what could be worse than Athena? ~knocks on wood~
If your 14 year old dongsaeng can write a better script than what 5 writers are doing for SMW right now, then a MONKEY can write a better script than what passed for one in Athena.
Still the worse drama I may have ever watched, because it sucked AND it wasted so much money and talent all around. This coming from me, who has watched The Restless countless times for my I Lub You, and I still can't finish Athena.
Unfortunately, all you say is true, unni. Ah, Athena - not only did you sin in wasting my unni's ILU, but also Siwon! Which is just unforgivable.
:)))))
YESSSSSSSS!!! Sorry for the caps (know you hate it). My Captain Koala, definitely with you on this one. Jung. Woo. Sung. 'nuff said.
Finally. Noh Hee Kyung is coming out with a new drama.
I hope it doesn't fall through like Shower did. I'm still bitter about that one...
sistah, i'm with you on this!
I love Noh Hee-kyeong!! She wrties really well,especially in Worlds Within.
This will be a hit drama for sure!
I am thrilled to hear about Noh Hee Kyung's new drama. Absolutely loved The World They Live In/Worlds Within-I thought the it was brilliant. After watching it I went to see what else she had written because I was so impressed with her.
Her writing is very thoughtful, and more cerebral than the majority of writing out there. Completely believable characters...
Can't wait to see the new drama!!!
Squeeeeee. :D I mean I'm so happy for JWS to be able to rebound after the Greek mess.
I'm with you on height because the drama will not be aired on cable network so they won't spend much time laying down in bed - unlike in "I need romance". It's gonna be a tough job for the cameramen to fit them in the frame. ^^
i agree with u ladies RE: height. i'm imaging their kissing scenes , gonna tough for both.
I vote for Kim Suna instead. She is a tall solid actress and has managed to spark chemistry with all her lead partners. She and Lee Dong Wook are unbelievable right now in SOW. Never thought I'd think so after her alchemy with Cha Seung Won in "City Hall".
Plus she will be available in December, she still is single, a tad younger than our I Lub you (lol) so it would be a delight to see them together, wouldn't it? ^^
Hmmm...maybe they will just put a soap box under her, like they do for Tom Cruise when he has to do scenes with tall actresses (he's really short)
Plus, I'm sure she will have killer heels on which will help with height.
They will make it work. :)
OMG , o m g ....just one more time " MH MY GOD " !!
I am crazily happy to death right now . i adore this guy and i think i am one of those who watch ATHENA despite it's stupid script only to see his breathtaking face ...
Han Ji Min ....NO ,PLEASE NO ....what the hell i am gonna do with it ?
".....think a giant dating a dwarf" LOL you're hillarious Ms. K!!
