Mr. Back Releases Four Fun Official Drama Posters
MBC has been regularly the ratings loser in the Wed-Thurs prime time slot for quite some time now until the just finished My Spring Days led a very very weak competition line up. That’s not an indication of quality since some of the dramas have been quite good actually. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming Mr. Back (Mr. Baek) for a dose of fun, and boy does the drama seem silly but in an endearing way. Shin Ha Kyun gets to play both the 80 year old and the 30 year old versions of himself in an reverse-aging romp that allows his character to fix some messes and do some things over again.
The choice of Jang Nara as the leading lady is probably a good one, she’s absurdly baby-faced and has a knack for both physical comedy and emotional resonance with those Bambi eyes of her. Plus she’s coming off the very buzzed about Korean Fated to Love You and what better than to strike while the iron is hot, sleep bedamned. I’m also intensely curious about Lee Joon based on the snippets of him in the previews, he’s suddenly looking like a charismatic hottie to me and I wonder if I’ve just never seen it or he really did turn gorgeous with a suit and a nice haircut.
Aside from the three leads, the supporting cast consists of Park Ye Jin, Jung Seok Won, Lee Moon Sik, Jung Kuk Hwan, and Lee Mi Do. The four official posters are decent enough for me, the parody of the rich imposing family patriarch lording over his domain is nicely conceptualized and executed. I was saying earlier that I didn’t particularly want a love line between the two leads since eventually Shin Ha Kyun’s character is going back to his real old age, but seeing the poster with him holding Jang Nara’s hand as they walk away from an apocalyptic scene totally makes me squee. Eeeps, now I’m so torn!
I dont mind having a loveline between SHK and JNR….This drama categorized as FANTASY rom-com,so there are many possibilities how it could end….SHK may or may not return to his older self….OR JNR maybe become older…OR SHK may die and reincarnate back….
I know Jang Nara has always had the baby-faced thing going for her, but man, I just want to comment that she looks freaking stunning in these posters.
My favorite one is the action poster as well, so adorable.
They must have a romance between those two, they are too cute in apocalyptic pic. Also both are really good actors when it comes tom rom-com chemistry.
looking forward for this drama!! ^^
finaly after FTLY, I will watch K-drama again.. SHK & JNR superpower! GO! GO! GO!
I’m super excited for this especially Jang Na Ra since FTLY!!
So looking forward to this! I’m actually leaning more towards Lee Joon and Jang Nara, they kinda look good together.
They look super cute in the action poster!
The ladies are stunning in their red dress. As for Lee Joon, he has shed his “idol boy” image and ‘transmorphed’ into a much older self, although I wouldn’t picture him as a love interest to Jang Nara.
Omg. The action poster with them holding hands is soooo cute!
Loving Lee Joon’s velvet suit. Must be nice to touch.
