Oh boy, this is…..interesting. I think we might have an actual competition for the worst-wig-of-the-year award, when I had thought nothing could ever come close to the “thing” that rests on top of Yoo Seung Ho‘s head in Arang and the Magistrate. Sometimes when a scene comes on with the Celestial Jade Emperor I subconsciously cringe because I’m afraid his wig is actually alive and about to munch down on his pretty little noggin. So its with great amusement and horror to announce that in the just released teaser for the upcoming sageuk The Great Seer (Dae Poong Soo), the leading man Ji Sung as the titular great seer is sporting what can only be described as a permed low ponytail with curls framing his face. Not to mention his outfit appears to have gauzy wings attached to the sleeves. Buh? Can someone tell me what the costume designer was smoking? Its so inexplicably ridiculously I actually watched the teaser three times before I stopped laughing long enough to actually watch what else was going on.
In terms of content, I started laughing at him doing some sort of energy wielding Tai Chi dance, and almost died when a guy dressed like wolf boy showed up shooting an arrow. This is totally not what I envisioned or expected for this sageuk. SBS also released the poster filming video showing the four leads, and both leading ladies Kim So Yeon and Lee Yoon Ji are gorgeous and lovely beyond belief. Conversely the two leading men are not looking good at all, with Ji Sung’s hairstyle as I described already, but poor Ji Jin Hee looks like an alien life form in the shape of a horrible beard crawled its way up his chin and attached itself there. Between Ji Sung’s wig and Ji Jin Hee’s beard, I think this drama should be about aliens attacking ancient Korea disguised in the form of bad follicle growths. This is sorta depressing from a visual expectation level, but it’s too early to write off the drama yet since the teaser doesn’t reveal a lick of story, only revealing that the stylists in this drama are sadly all blind.
First teaser for The Great Seer:
Poster shooting:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Oh dear. He looks like a cross between an interpretive dancer and a male ice skater in that promo. Yikes.
HAhahaha! What an apt description for that look!
That being said, I don't think it's too horrible. YSH's concubine hair definitely looked worse than this.
That's exactly what I was thinking! I wanted to give him ribbons or something...
Koala,
Just reading your description has made me LOL. It just seems to hilarious. Now I'm off to watch the actual video and compare your descriptive writing to the visuals. :)
Yikes, is right. It was almost like his hair was attacking him.
LMAO!
Why they can't afford a good wig? I really don't get it.
I get he has a messy hair, but can't him have a messy hair like Chuno guys had?
PLus all I was thinking is ''Damo waterfall!!!!''
Uhm, yeah, I'm seconding the interpretive dance. All we're missing is the bad poetry and the random characters leaping across the stage in the background while holding strange poses. No, wait, we got that too. Clearly the show is ready for its off-off-off-broadway debut.
LOL
Agree on the hair... but why do I still think that Ji Sung is smoking hot?
OMG... that hair is gonna eat him alive... Somebody help him!
I think ji sung still looks nice with the wig if he jus stand still for a minute ...without all "ohh i am soo hot and sweaty with all my wet curly hair lashing my face" LOL
still lookin forward to the drama.. Ji hee looks aweful with the beard...yuck take it off now!!! ;(
I'm really hoping that's not an actual costume from the drama itself. Crossing my fingers that it's promo only!
The hair and beard? I have no words. But I still think Yoo Seung Ho's is worse. This comes as a close 2nd.
Oh, the cast of ACTOR's was big time and superb, Thanks for the update!
