I’m not terribly excited about the upcoming Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Shi Young, and the first teaser doesn’t change my feelings (yet). I do hope the drama actually follows through with the baseball theme, instead of doing a bait-and-switch like Man of Honor did. Lee Shi Young’s barftastic hairdo actually looks not nearly as ugly when it’s onscreen, whereas on print it just overwhelms the frame and becomes all the eye focuses on. I enjoy a bickering duo rom-com, but the tone of WR seems a tad too slapstick for me. But who knows, with some great OTP chemistry any drama has a chance to engage my interest once I start watching. Read on for the first teaser and my translation of the plot synopsis.
Teaser for Wild Romance:
At her father’s birthday party, a drunk Eun Jae runs into Mu Yeol, the second baseman for the team Green Dreamers, who beat her favorite team. She starts a fight and beats him up. The video of the beat down goes viral and threatens the career of both of them. To salvage the situation, the world is told that Eun Jae is Mu Yeol’s bodyguard and the beat down was actually Eun Jae teaching Mu Yeol self-defense. This explanation turns into Eun Jae actually becoming Mu Yeol’s bodyguard for real. What will happen since they can’t stand each other?

woot! this is definitely my most anticipated drama of 2012! I love the writer's previous dramas, esp Mixed-up Investiagtion Agency
i liked lee siyoung's character as bu tae hee from birth of the rich. she's really funny. i think this drama will be good and interesting. after all, it's lee dong wook, so that's just one helluva reason why imma stick to this one. i hope it'll be a fantastic one. plot is also interesting.
Does the writer love the name Mu Yeol? That was the name of one of the four leads in Mixed-Up Investigative Agency.
I hope at some point she gets a makeover and that hairs goes buh-bye. Look, writer-nims and stylists: I don't really exert a lot of effort with my hair, either, but it still looks presentable and not like a dead alley cat is on my head. It IS possibly to not be a fashion queen and still have long hair. I am proof. Please adjust your character descriptions/styles accordingly.
I think I'll tune in to episode 1 just to see Lee Shi-young beat up Lee Dong-wook. That sounds like fun. ^_^
Lee Dong Wook looks damn handsome!!! he should always have that type of moustache!! it suits and makes him look more charismatic!!! ooooh i love him!! :)
i just realised he's got beard too lol
ah well facial hair suits him perfectly!! :)
Lee Dong Wook didn't just steal Kim Suh Na from Cha Seung Won, he's now stealing Wonnie's trademark cow facial hair.
LOL I love your comment
LOL that is cruel!!
lool soo true that he's copied Cha's look :) but im Dong Wook biased so i think Lee pulls off the look better hehe. I love that guy, ever since My Girl :)
I still have problems believing its Lee Si Young ... maybe her older brother in drag...well not in drag-(s)he dresses manly enough... what was i talking about? Her hair...did he have to grow that beard and mustache so we could differentiate between boy/girl leads....???
Whyyyy.... All in all- i like the synopsis, put the pics are killing me and this teaser just killed buried, dug up, burn and scattered the ashes of my interest...And it even has a glimpse of my half naked LDW who i adore...Ooohhh please be better then trailer. please change hairstyle...
This looks a little too kooky for me, and I don't know if even Lee Dong-wook being one of the leads can make me watch it... I probably wouldn't be able to get around Lee Shi-young's hair. It would distract me too much, lol.
I'm also fairly concerned about the plot... or lack thereof. It sounds a bit like "Spy Myung-wol" (without the whole 'marry the Hallyu star' bit) and we all know how THAT turned out. I'm worried the writer may not have much beyond the "She becomes his bodyguard and madness ensues" aspect of it.
Maybe I'll give the first episode a shot, or maybe they'll come out with a better trailer before the premier, but at this point, I think there are other dramas I'm looking more forward to in 2012.
I actually liked that trailer. Except for the hair (facial and otherwise) it looks to be a hoot.
OMG. Her hair is too ugly hair. Can't watch it. But she surprisingly can pull it off - she doesn't look horrible (i.e. the evil girl from My Princess). The plot doesn't interest me either - we are to believe that she is a second baseman's bodyguard? I'm sorry but it's laughable if he needs a bodyguard. I also don't like her acting. I've only seen her in Playful Kiss and I didn't like her.
I also only saw her in PK and didn't like her much at all (thought the way she dressed up didn't suit a uni students...) But I like Lee Dong Wook so I might give it a try ;)
Lee Shi Young looks like Noh Min Woo's lil bro.
Wookie is one of the sexiest man alive, I'm so gonna watch this!! LOL
