Despite the recent generally lackluster offerings in the usually high profile Wed-Thurs network K-dramas, the just premiered 7th Level Civil Servant should be glad its got a 3 week head start on its upcoming rivals. Action thriller IRIS 2 premieres on February 13th and will certainly be a formidable opponent in terms of star wattage and production grandeur, but also premiering on February 13th will be a completely different beast in the melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows starring Song Hye Kyo, Jo In Sung, Kim Bum, and Jung Eun Ji. I am definitely more fascinated by TWTWB than the other two dramas primarily because I love screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung, not to mention I have a soft spot for Jo In Sung, Kim Bum, and Jung Eun Ji. The only weak link in the cast for me is Song Hye Kyo, I neither find her a riveting actress nor do I find her attractive just to watch for the pretty alone. However, she has demonstrated a remarkable acting improvement over the years to the point that I think she’s an experienced actress and can pull off the role of sight-impaired heiress who is conned by a playboy pretending to her long-lost brother. I’m also thrilled that my Bummie is looking SO DAMN FINE in this drama, he doesn’t look emaciated and the red spikey hair cut is phenomenal on him. I can’t wait for his loveline with Eun Ji, and to hear her try out something other than her Busan accent. Check out the 2nd lovely teaser for the drama below.

I've never been into melodramas...I stayed far away from Nice Guy and I Miss You. But for some reason I have this desire to check this one out. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my love for Kim Bum...
I loathe melodramas also, but I'll follow Kim Bum anywhere... ;)
Really? I would really recommend nice guy. I went in with little expectation and got addicted so fast! I plan to watch this cause of my fav actors/actresses!
I never realized how tall Jo In Sung is...
Jo In Sung has been the King of Stares in my book for a long time. He can do so much with his eyes. Gahhh and look at Bummie! Looking like a tiger on the prowl. I'm definitely in on this one. I'm going to attempt to give it a 6 episode head start though, so that I can wallow in the power, the glory and the angst.
Sounds good to me.
I could not make myself see the original with MG but I like the cast and the beautiful cinematography in this one. Everything is so aesthetically pleasing from what I have seen in the trailers that this is one melodrama that I will be watching just for that if nothing else.
Whoa, that's a gorgeous trailer.
It's really not my kind of story and I've avoided full-blown melodramas like the plague in recent years, but if the rest of the series looks as gorgeous as the trailer, I'm in for the cinematography alone.
I can't believe I haven't yet watched anything with Jo In-Sung in it. That man is beautiful!
This will be a giant tale of sorrow and despair from the beggining till the end, and I will certainly end up turned into a miserable ball of tears, but can't hardly wait for the pain to come! I.need.it. So excited to have all that weeping prettiness on my screen! :)
Waah! This looks promising! Hope it doesn't spiral down like I MIss You did. The cinematography and the beautiful cast are enough for me to get on board with this one (especially after the bad reviews of joo won's new drama). I can't wait!
Back to old days of korean drama :D
The cinematography looks gorgeous. So, visually pleasing. I have yet to watch a melo but I think that this will be my first one. :)
Sooo looking forward to this!
