Just three weeks out from the premiere of what might be the crackiest drama to come along in a good long while, GTV is ramping up its promotions for Skip Beat, which will take over the time slot soon to be vacated by In Time With You. The network is holding a fan vote for which among four posters will be selected as the official drama poster, and votes will be entered into a drawing for prizes to be held on December 13th (no, the prizes do not include Choi Siwon or Lee Donghae). Like with the first batch of posters, I am in lovelustawe with how gorgeous AND plot-illuminating these posters are.
I’m twitching already because I need this drama like NOW. For the poster above, the description is thus: “The legs are fighting for fame and power, but when the spotlight shines, all the anger and hate suddenly disappear, leaving only extravagant star power. Bu Puo Shan (Sho), Gong Xi (Kyoko), and Dun He Lian (Ren) – they are the most ideal professional entertainer.” Sigh, I’m going to be massively Sho-shipping in this drama it’s not funny. Even if he’s a jackass, he’s Kyoko’s personal jackass.
“Vowing to become the entertainment world’s shiniest star, with 70% hard work and determination, 30% natural talent, Gong Xi goes from Nobody to Somebody. Finally she presses ahead and arrives on life’s grandest red carpet.”
“Behind her right shoulder is the man she hates and has vowed revenge on, the idol stage’s newest star – Bu Puo Shan. To the left is the man who gradually gives her a renewed understanding of human emotions, the acting world’s biggest star – Dun He Lian. Sitting on the side of the streets, how will Gong Xi decide her own life and her own path?”
P.S. I love how she’s sitting closer to Sho but looking towards Ren. So apropos.
“Every girl dreams of turning from a Cinderella into a Princess, praying for a Prince Charming to come and rescue her from her dark world. Having spent twenty-some years as a Cinderella, Dun He Lian and Bu Puo Shan, who will be her Prince Charming? And who will be the Archangel pushing her into the depths of despair?”

Latest trailer for Skip Beat:
This trailer isn’t really new, as it includes only footage from the first trailer released back in June but repackaged with some booming voiceover. This is only worth watching because we hear the opening song from the drama called “Extravagant Solo” (華麗的獨秀) which will be sung by Super Junior-M. Shit, how many hours is in three weeks?
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…
Oh what a great surprise! This drama was announced two years ago and I've long…

There are 504 hours in 3 weeks hahaha. too long for this drama but too short for life.
Wise words, my friend.
amen.
who is the male lead in this drama Choi Siwon or Lee Donghae?
Choi Siwon is Ren...the guy she will eventually end up with. At least thats where story was going when i stopped reading Skip Beat. But now in this line-up...Im so shipping the second lead :( Sho maybe an ass, but Donghae is so cute!!!
thank you
Si Won oh yes!!!!! I love the cast people!!!! So wanna watch....
woohoo, can't wait for Skip Beat! Don't care anymore about who is playing who, just bring it, drama! The story is too awesome to be bothered by acting and other non-important things ;P
All the posters are cute, but the second one is a bit bland and average...
Same, I like all of them except the second one.
I'm totally psyched for the scenes with Kyoko in the chicken suit, talking to Ren xD
Ahhhh... Ms Koala, the "crack" dealer... can I even say that? It's a good thing! Thank you soo much for providing me with the information so I don't have to search for it. I keep trying to stay away so that I won't be longing for it like crazy. All I've been watching is historical dramas - both tw/c & k -- so I'm itching for this one... k/tw - that rocks - I'm not sure what my expectations are... cause I'm not big on Siwon... but donghae looks fan-freaking-tastic. I do love Skip Beat so very happy this is going live action.
The third expresses the essence of the entire story. I can't help, but lol at their Chinese names. I'm so used to Kyoko, Ren, and Sho. Anything else seems weird. I think they could've done a better job at naming the characters. Phonetically, they're entirely different. Maybe they have the same literal meaning...
The two males leads names are identical to their Japanese names, but simply pronounced in Chinese. No clue where Kyoko's Chinese name came from, since it's not derived from her Japanese name in any way.
TW adaptations of mangas almost always keep the names the same but just pronounce it in Chinese.
Like in Meteor Garden, everyone's Chinese name was simply the character's Japanese name pronounced in Chinese.
My favorite is the first one. Gosh, I think Donghae is going to outshine Shiwon.
I'm an ELF so I shouldn't play favorites, especially with Siwon and Donghae...can't wait for this one!
for me the last poster is the best!
I think that the posters could be better
I love these posters and I've barely seen 10 eps of the anime! They are perfect! I'm so ready for this....so so so ready!
Finally this drama is going to be aired ever since talk of the TV version first surfaced in 2008. Coming out from the hands of 豆导production team, I'm sure the quality of it is guaranteed to a certain degree. Just hoping that the dubbing of Siwon and Donghae won't be too awkward. It's a pity that the leads won't be able to do much tv show promotion for this drama. I had been hoping that the three of them would at least be able to go onto one or two variety talk shows but I'm sure their schedules are all too packed for this end-of-year time.
