Presenting the press conference for The King 2 Hearts, where puppy has gone back to being a puppy. Lee Seung Gi in a frumpy ill-fitting suit and a fuddy hairstyle once again returns to his cute boyish incarnation. Ha Ji Won has visibly lost weight to play this role, but she still looks healthy, and her figure is insane in that lime green pattern fitted dress. Just a reminder that this drama doesn’t air next week but the week after since the MoonSun finale is next week. In the meantime, have a five-minute long trailer for the drama that continues to leave me befuddled as to what to expect. To be sure, Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi continue to show gasp inducing chemistry, but I’m really wary of the story. I hope they focus on a few critical elements rather than trying to make it all epic or sweeping.
I do get some people’s comments that Ha Ji Won seems to be always playing the same character trope these days – the outwardly bad ass, tough girl who is soft-hearted on the inside. I can’t deny that, which is sad considering she started off her career doing a variety of characters most of whom were amazingly memorable. She and Kim Sun Ah are both starting to flirt with extreme typecasting, but I still love them both nonetheless. Lee Seung Gi is really impressing me here, not doing anything really remarkable acting wise, but his screen presence is really eyecatching.

Ahh yes Ha Ji Won had a such a variety of roles and they were all so memorable because she was able to show her chameleon-like acting. It makes me sad that she's recently take on the tough girl trope.
Thanks again unni! :)
wow, looks good. I like ha ji won playing strong kickass herione. ^^ I hope there's some comedy too but by the look of this trailer, doesn't look like it. (fingers cross)
To be honest, I had a really hard time finishing that 5 minute trailer.. It just doesn't leave much of an impression on me... I love the casting, but the PD/writer combo just isn't doing it for me.
Hmmm.........I really don't know.
I second that...Hmmm
Third. They seem to have everything I expected: jealousies over second leads (and of course Ha Ji Won has a male colleague with a crush, Myungwol's Ryu anyone?), petty sniping and tricks, lots of shouting and gesticulating about a Crisis, etc. I'm still going to check it out, but it looks like the writer is going to sink this ship.
Thanks Koala. I like reading opinions from people on things that I have interest on even if they are not necessarily same with mine.
I dont know why the trailer video has no background music when the one shown at the press conference actually has music on. Its too bad because I think their music choices are great and heighten the mood of the scenes. In case anyone wants to check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6RA3947FZ5Y
HJW is almost a legend as an action heroine. Its like Jackie Chan being typecasted as an action hero. If she prefers to continue taking on action roles, kdrama action heroine unfortunately has been the same kind. I hope though, that her character here will be slightly different. i want to see her as a really tough woman unlike her character in Secret garden eventhough she has a soft heart and in search of true love. I have a good feeling when I see her character pointing a gun to Jae Ha.
I dont know how the conflict played out in Spy Myung Wol, but it looks like the dilemma of the couple here is between choosing love and their country and wanting to unite south and north korea. Watching the trailers I have trust in the director and actors that this drama can be gripping and moving. But it still depend on the writers who I'm still wary of.
At least for now, I already love Seunggi and Jiwon together as a couple. Please be good show!
Watching the preview, I assume this is a good drama to watch, rest assure to watch this!!!!
HJW looked like Mulan in the press conference, very prettty
Haji Won the Tomb Raider of Korea, cute pair ;-)
nice trailer ^^
so i think i will see the king 2 hearts for the actors acting and curious for it's ending
and see rooftop prince for entertaining story and the F4 ^^
Why is Seunggi dress like that he usually kills it in formal wear. I wish the trailer was subbed I could not get a hold on what the story is about.
If you follow Seunggi, you will notice he doesnt always dress good at event or function. Sometimes, the suit is big on him.
