When a Man Takes a Very Sad Camping Trip (Sponsored by Kolping)

We all agree that PPV is out of control in dramas these days, but when the PPV is showing up already in official drama stills, then we’ve sort of reached the point of no return. One can guess how much a drama’s storyline is written around PPV, but trust me when I say its way more than we realize. When a Man Loves with Song Seung Heon has a title and storyline that is just ripe for mocking. Earlier when he was in Guam I would have called it “When a Man takes a Dip in the Ocean” (and his pants almost fall down). Now with these stills of Song Seung Heon brooding in the wilderness, I would call it “When a Man Goes Camping” (proudly sponsored by Kolping). Depending on what happens in this drama, there will be umpteenth riffs on “When a Man……” I can do, and that is something I’m totally looking forward to. Inane ones may include “When a Man Drives a Car and Angrily Talks on His Cellphone” all the way to dramatic ones like “When a Man Falls for a Woman Not His Wife and Feels Conflicted” (cue tense music of agony!). WAML premieres on April 3 on MBC Wed-Thurs and will be up against sageuk Mandate of Heaven on KBS and political rom-com All About My Love on SBS. I actually think Mandate of Heaven is airing in the wrong time slot, it needs to switch places with the other KBS drama God of the Workplace which airs on Mon-Tues against two sageuks Jang Ok Jung and Gu Family Book. I’d like to see a sageuk trifecta duking it out, leaving Wed-Thurs for the moderns to fight for supremacy. As it is, mid-week will instead give audiences a wide range of offerings from brooding (and often shirtless Song Seung Heon) in a melodrama, Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung in an opposites attract political ditty, and Lee Dong Wook and Song Ji Hyo in a fugitive-medical thriller sageuk. Which cuisine drama shall reign supreme? I dunno, but I know one very sad guy out camping that will be happier if he led the ratings pack.

  • Oh geez. I kept scrolling and scrolling... How many stills? We get it, Show! The pics are beautiful but yeah, looks like drama will be a loooong commercial. I'm in for the "When a man [...]" game: There is a thin line between comedy and tragedy.

  • OMG Koala go for it with the When A Man Loves. Hilarious. I'm looking forward to this more than the drama itself ooops

    • Hhh agree me too !but we can give it a try ! However my reason for replying is to ask how u managed to have a pic as ur icon ?! I know its a lame question but how? ! Thanks in advance !

      • I think you need an account at Word Press - and then I uploaded what I wanted for an avatar. Hey G! Good to see you here! :)

  • This post made me LOL! You are too funny. I think I will give this one a try. I figure as long as I can fast forward through all the parts SSH won't be in, I'll be fine. He's a fine looking man.

  • ...and where's YWJ pics from the drama? Why the Prod team see SSH as the only selling power of this drama? *scratch-head*

  • When a Sad Man camps, he takes expensive gear.
    If he'd only taken ME, I'd have him smiling ear-to-ear.

    When the same man swims, he forgets to take his string,
    and the whole world remembers that we almost saw his thing.

  • I am in for the when a man game!!
    When a man looking at his coffee thinking I am here to look pretty with the nice HOT Fire.

  • Ok, I admit to checking out the stills to see the pretty. WTF with the porn-stache ugligfying the pretty? I will be avoiding this one like the plague. He should stick to rom-com, he was actually decent in The Princess.
