Hanbando Premieres Next Week and Releases Second Exciting Trailer
Next week sees the premiere of a seemingly big-budgeted political thriller melodrama on the cable network Chosun TV. Starring Hwang Jung Min and Kim Jung Eun, the drama Hanbando (The Korean Peninsula) has been flying under the bloggy radar for the most part, probably because the two leads don’t amass the fangirl swooning some other actors come armed with. Nevertheless, he’s a damn fine actor and she’s redeemed herself in my eyes with her heartfelt and non-OTT performance in I Am Legend.
It’s unfortunate that the drama poster is plain dreadful, poorly photoshopped with nary an artistic style to render it memorable or distinctive in any way. But that doesn’t detract for my interest for this drama since the trailers have been uniformly intriguing. I like the fantasy conceit of a unified Korea, but I hope the writer doesn’t dumb down the politics or turn it into a weepy love fest more than keeping the love story within the greater context of the political thriller elements.
Second Trailer for Hanbando:
Looks like Hwang Jung Min and Kim Jung Eun had a great time filming this drama, as evidenced by their supremely cute BTS pictures. Just because they are older than the average youngster lead doesn’t mean they can’t have fun and goof around like kids. This might just be the next winning onscreen coupling.

HJM and KJE look adorably cute together! I think they match each other well. ^^
Hi, will you be recapping this drama? I like KJE and have watched all of her drama and i guess i will try to watch this. Thanks again and take care.
OMG trailer looks damn good. Definitely tuning in if I can!
I have full trust in Hwang Jung Min. Gonna check this drama out just to see his wonderful acting
I have a KJE allergy but through the trailer it doesn't look bad. And I agree the poster is badly photoshopped, it really displays KJE bad nosejob
OMG this drama looks awesome! And the OTP... wow, sizzling chemistry. You feel this just from the pictures alone. I can just imagine the emotive explosion onscreen. I hope there would be engsubbed streams we can watch... pretty please....???!!!
I may be the weird one out there but this is the 2012 drama that I looked forward to watching most... (much much more than MoonSun >.<)
Hwang Jung Minnnnnnnnnnnnnn ;A; Not gonna lie, he's the reason I plan on watching this. Love. Him.
This is the most anticipated drama for first quarter in my k-drama list b'coz of the adorable casts. Couldn't agree with you more, both of them are great. I hope i'm not the only fangirl who watch this drama.... (qiqiqi....)
