OMG what is this? Bleh bleh bleh all around for the group poster for Cheongdamdong Alice starring Moon Geun Young, Park Shi Hoo, Kim Ji Seok, and So Yi Hyun. SBS released the posters today and to say I am underwhelmed is an understatement. The other poster (below the jump), showing Park Shi Hoo as the white rabbit-esque figure leading Moon Geun Young’s Alice down a foresty rabbit hole, is decent enough but both actors are hidden in the corner it really lessens the visual impact of their presence. But I have to give a giant thumbs down for the full cast poster above, which is just unimaginative paired with gaudy. It looks like a sell sheet for a circus troupe, plus all four leads look strangely out of it. The drama is airing in two weeks and I’m still beyond excited but I was hoping for more snap, crackle, and pop with the promos. The K-news has discovered a coincidental link between three of the leads that I totally forgot about though I lived through it – back in Spring of 2010, three Wed-Thurs dramas premiered on the same day and went on the duke it out for ratings between Moon Geun Young in Cinderella Unni, Park Shi Hoo in Prosecutor Princess, and Kim Ji Seok in Personal Taste. For awhile my drama friends referred to these three dramas as the Trifecta of Suck, though all three generated quite a heated fandom. I’m hoping CA puts a little more creativity into it for the rest of its promos. C’mon CA, turn on the oomph!
Below are the first stills of Moon Geun Young in the flashback scenes as a high school student, which is so not a stretch for her to play. She looks fantastic.

(please don't suck, CA; please don't suck, CA; please don't suck, CA)
*repeats* ... because the poster really is blegh :I
I bet one of the dudes is based on Anthony cosplaying a brown colonel Sanders(PSH)and KJS is Terry. The clothes r obviously stolen from their manga-character wardrobe.
LOL. AHAHAHAHAHAHA, only you can bring in a Candy Candy reference to make be double over laughing. PSH does look like Colonel Sanders, and to think he's Anthony makes me cringe. But Kim Ji Seok as Terry. Hell no way, he's so smarmy and our Terry Is. Not. smarmy in the least. Bad boy charm only.
I was also going to say Kim Ji Seok looks as swarmy as he ever has in that poster. And that's saying something, given his outfits in Personal Taste.
lolz, nonono of course I'm not saying PSH IS Anthony and KJS IS Terry. Heck no, but that's not stopping them stealing fr their wardrobes.
Goodness what does MGY take to look so young? In the school uniform stills she looks almost exactly like she did as the young Song Hye Kyo in Autumn In My Heart!
I feel so "a-duh."
Did everyone else get the Alice in Wonderland connection but me?
White Rabbit/ Col Sanders/Bobby Uniform(?) finally clued me.
Wow, the first poster is terrible, one of the worst I've seen in a while. The second one is cute and fits the fairytale-ish premise better, but just like you said, Shi Hoo and Geun Young are squeezed into a corner that I can barely see their faces.
With each news about CA I get more anxious that this drama might suck unicorns*. Please don't, show, I've been waiting for MGY comeback for so long for you to ruin it.
The dress worn by So Yi Hyun in the lower half of the poster - I've seen this three time recently. It was worn in an unrelated ad and also at a film fest or award show. I really didn't like it the first time, but I'm surprised the people in charge here chose it.
LOL, why does PSH look like Mr Darcy? :D Well, everybody loves Mr Darcy :D
Excuse me he looks worse than Mr Darcy.It must be the hair.
Argh what did they do to the cast?I was so looking forward to this.I think a big fat clue was Se Kyung giving a breathing " Mr President " at the funeral.Omg I don't want a brainless money tuned heroine.
Sorry " breathy little girl voiced "
I really really want CA not to suck - I adore all the actors and after the emo of all the other dramas I am following, a romcom would be a welcome relief.
I just hope that this is another case of City Hunter - where I wasn't keen on promos and posters, by and large, but ended up loving the drama.
Because as of now, I am just not feeling it. Noooooo!
Their promos have been extremely underwhelming to date. I'm hoping the actual drama will be good. I really like MGY, PSH and KJS. It would be a great way to end the year with a light, romantic comedy.
I was underwhelmed by King 2 Hearts trailers earlier this year and the drama turned out to be such a gem. That said, King 2 Hearts had great posters and stills though.
mgy looks great on her school uniform.... such a lovely face !!
