KBS is doing more Friday dramas, a time slot that tvN has had mixed success with from drama to drama. With Heart to Heart ending last week, Super Daddy Yul arrives this Friday to ride that time slot well into the middle of spring. Will it be a breezy rom-com the whole way through as teasers and synopsis suggests, or eventually turn into a tearful melo as so many dramas are wont to do. The cast held a press conference this week including the three main lead Lees – crazy popular leading lady Lee Yoo Ri (who proves she can win hearts by being super bad thanks to her last role), Lee Dong Gun changing up his dashing image, and precocious little Lee Re as the daughter. I found the long 5-minute preview entertaining enough but remain worried that Lee Yoo Ri’s character having a maybe terminal illness makes the entire story too somber regardless of how many funny pratfalls are thrown at the screen. With that said, still totally going to check it out in a few hours!
Long preview for Super Daddy Yul:
First time I’ve seen female leads with below the knee skirt lengths. I wonder why.
Perhaps a decades-long fabric shortage in the RoK has ended.
“having a MAYBE terminal illness”? Maybe? I thought her dying was the whole point of the story – she’s only loking for a Dad for the kid because she herself is dying?
Bad-ass Lee Yo-Ri…looks awesome.
Love it.
Interesting trailer.That last poster does show some resemblance between the daughter and would-be daddy. Will definitely check this out.
I’m definitely going to check this out too and I’m not going to trust this will stay as a rom-com as well. Given the premise, it will be difficult to keep the comedy going during the whole show, but if things will get too far I won’t stay & watch a brand new cry-fest *sigh*
The preview looks great!!! I’m excited for this starts!
My heart can’t take another MSD. I was broken for weeks after that ended. Don’t sell me on cute and then melo at the end. Oh, who am I kidding. I probably will watch…
i’m not sure if i’m ready to cry buckets of tears once the terminal illness storyline gets in front and center.
She reminds me of Tiffany.
sound like MAMA but with comedy not the depressing route
