Lee Hong Ki and Yang Jin Sung Pour on the Cuteness at Media Event for Bride of the Century

I think it’s official that we have the birth of a new epic and memorable onscreen pairing, peeps! The leads of the currently airing cable K-drama Crack Bride of the Century attended a mid-drama open media event this week to drum up more interest in a drama that has all the makings of a mania hit plus it’s ratings have been increasing steadily since episode 1. I thought BotC would be a 16-episode drama but some places have said it’s 20-episodes, so until it’s confirmed I’ll just be content to have lots of juicy delicious episodes remaining since only 6 have aired so far. Lee Hong Ki and Yang Jin Sung are so unexpectedly cute and chemistry-laden together it boggles the mind. Where’d all that spark come from? And how come both of them can turn it off when Yang Jin Sung plays the bitchy doppleganger Yi Kyung, yet when she becomes our favorite plucky heroine Doo Rim, I always get the sense that they are mere inches and seconds away from making out against a wall? At the media event this week, it was fanservice galore as the two leads got all cozy and playful with each other for the cameras, and then action shifted indoors where a giant roaster was churning out delicious sweet potatoes which they then fed to each other. One of the picture literally has Lee Hong Ki biting on Yang Jin Sung’s finger, which I can’t imagine is all that G-rated enough to post online. I think BotC is responsible for the outbreak of roast sweet potato mania everywhere. This drama is indeed very tasty to snack on and I really need to thank the production for being such good sports and doing fanservice media events and generally trotting the two leads out to showcase their great camaraderie and give fans more cuteness to squee over. It’s all in good fun, right? During this media event, the two leads revealed that Doo Rim and Kang Joo’s relationship continues to grow especially after the two moms nefarious plots are revealed. I can’t wait!

  • They look so adorable esp. the last picture. They bring back the best snack- roasted sweet potato. Now, I wanna try it with kimchi.

    • Yes, do try it. It's very tasty. Just when I thought I'd had enough of roasted sweet potato and kimchi, I think I want more.

    • I laughed in one of the early episodes when his character was dissing Doo Rim for being short while she was clearly taller than he was! :)

      Thanks, ockoala, for bringing this cute and fun drama to my attention! I would have totally bypassed if not for your enthusiastic recaps!

  • They make a cute couple. Maybe the drama gods will see this a shoot an arrow.
    I was not a fan of hong ki before, but this drama has been listening to his music, watching his variety shows. I feel very teenage like.lol. They do have great chemistry.

    • I know what you mean. Don't know how they do it but every time I watch this drama, I feel like a teenager squeeing over cute parts. I just can't act my age when I'm watching BOTC.

  • OMG I'm literally dying here. Why are they so cute together? :"> Huhu I can't take it anymore. Friday and Saturday please come faster! I want to see more scenes from these two! JooRim couple ftw!

  • OOOWWW!!! They look so adorable together, they´re very sweet and cute. Love the drama BotC, at first I thought that Lee Hong Ki, wasn´t suited to do a roll like this, because I was remembering the YAB days. But I´m happy to realize that I´m very wrong about that, and he's doing an excelent job. Love him in everything he do. I've never see her before, but she's very good in her portrait of both of the characters. Thanks Miss Koala por your efford and to give us this amazing and cute drama.

    • She was playing as Ji Sung first love in drama Secret last year. Her characteristic is bubbly yet having sad fate.

  • I think for me the reason LHK has become my new K love is how his character is playing against his cutesy clean-cut image - whether it is the real him behind the curtain or not. Does he LHK have a wild side in private? Hmmmmm...

    Initially my interest was piqued when he showed his assiness at the necklace scene - that he was willing to play against the Jeremy type.

    But when offered to show his fiancee the Full Monty in his bedroom, went after a kiss TWICE before he succeeded in kissing her in the public, I was happy to meet this new version.

    The cute from the sweet potatoes and being nice to the house ajumma and ajussi keeps us from hating the cold chaebol, too.

    Mostly I like my K/J/TW drama heroes to be hot for their ladies because that is how boys are!!!

    I love KJ - we need more OTP closeness this week!
