The upcoming drama tidal wave makes me feel like I’m playing a carnival game that is rigged – I’m going to win a prize no matter what, i.e. there is bound to be a drama that I end up liking. I feel rather like that derpy dog in Up, the one constantly chasing after bones here and there. One minute I’m salivating over Nice Guy, the next minute there is To the Beautiful You to make me smile, and then I drop everything at the drop of a hat for more Arang and the Magistrate goodies. If I weren’t made of sterner stuff, I will surely be getting whiplash here.
More stills have been released by MBC for Arang, and my favorite aside from anything with Lee Jun Ki in it, is the one where Yoo Seung Ho as the Celestial Jade Emperor is having a tete-a-tete with his twin brother the King of Hell and his minion the Soul Reaper. Yeah, the heavenly set looks really chintzy, but who’s looking at the set when all I see is Yoo Seung Ho. It’s a shame this drama isn’t going up against Faith, because both are doing a fantasy sageuk, and I’m the firm believer that the best can prove itself only by going up against the best. Oh well, let the ratings rain upon them both! Check out the latest teaser which includes footage already seen before, as well as eerie glimpses at Arang’s fate as a ghost wandering the living world.
Jun Ki looks so handsome as Eun Oh. Sobs, I’m going to die of the pretty, I just know it. Shin Mina is just nailing everything I see of her as Arang. It’s clear she’s putting her all into this performance just by how electrifying she looks in stills alone. Run, Mina, Run!

wish I don't have Spanish exams!!! Then I can watch and ogle at the first eps all day long!!!
luckily it won't go against Faith, though. It's hard to choose between LMH and LJK... liked them both in City Hunter and Iljimae... they're both too much of an eye candy... though I'm practically watching Faith for LMH and Arang and the Magistrate for Shin Mina.
[though both of them look promising as fantasy dramas. really unlike those Chinese fantasy dramas with cringe-worthy special effects.]
Oh My! There is too much awesomeness for a story. This is going to be one of those one's I squeal about when an update pops up.
Wow, I'm so excited!! It's a rare pleasure for this year that we can watch the interesting mixed-genres, plots, beautiful scenes & great actors with the clearest visual aid,"Red Epic" camera~ Joongi oppa, you're the real impressive dude for everything^^ Fighting~!!
Love the colours! I'm so looking forward to this. Thanks to Mrs Koala for keeping us updated and whetting our appetites =)
"Dayum! Jun Ki is hella yummy!:) So freaking exciteddddd for this series.. T______T yyyyyy can't they just air it nooowwwww~!
Is it just me or does Shin Mina look like the young Yeon Woo from MoonSun???
I don't like fantasy stories, but I loved the teaser and actors. Definetely, I'm gonna give it a try, it seems very promissing.
haha， yoo seung ho in the first still looks really like Hua Wuque (the Gulong Wuxia novel)!!!
I agree with Koala on the number of interesting-looking upcoming dramas. I usually pick two to watch during the season and then wait to marathon the rest once they are finished. I have no idea which ones I'm going to choose this time around though! I'm thinking Arang and To the Beautiful you at the moment. But that could change!
Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and put a third on the list!
Thanks, Ms Koala. Arang is such a badass-what an adorable and feisty ghost. Lee Jun Ki looking so manly and beautiful nowadays. Loving the teaser, so will definitely check it out along with Faith.
