Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee Headlines KBS Summer Weekend Drama Laurel Tree Tailors
With the addition of one name I’m suddenly interested in upcoming KBS weekend drama Laurel Tree Tailors. If Lee Dong Gun is coming back to a major network drama then it’s definitely worth checking out, even if his post military services drama Marry Him If You Dare and Super Daddy Yul have both been abysmally bad I still have hope that his next drama will break him out again. Laurel Street Tailors is stitching up its cast starting with inking leads Lee Dong Gun paired with Jo Yoon Hee, it could be worse and for weekend drama fare she’s perfectly serviceable albeit rather underwhelming. Supporting actress Jung Hye Sung is in talks to join as well, and will be doing double duty as she’s also in KBS Mon-Tues drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. For the veterans Cha In Pyo and Ra Mi Ran will hold down the fort and their presence definitely ups the gravitas ante considerably. Laurel Street Tailors will air in August after Five Children ends its run.
The PD will KBS seasoned veteran Hwang In Hyuk who directed Assembly, Spy Myung Wol, and Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Writing is Goo Hyun Sook who has numerous weekend dramas under her belt into Legend of the Witch, Hundred Year Inheritance, Indomitable Daughters-in-law, and Pure 19.
50 episodes of lee dong gun’s beautiful face and great acting chops, I want it now now now
It’s makjang. Since Dalbongi last year, I can’t find a really good KBS weekend dramas like before. Now their weekend dramas are just like MBC’s, makjang. I miss dramas like Ojakgyo, Unexpected You, Seo Youngi, Wang Family…
…Wang family was so over-the-top makjang though.
Kbs weekend drama Five Children is one of the best though.. No makjang and very realistic.
I appalud the writer for writing amazing character leading characters and dealing with blending family theme.
I kinda don’t want it to end esp if the writer is someone who wrote “legendary witch” ,” hundred years inheritance”, etc. Too makjang…
