First Teaser and Stills for tvN Drama Mr. Sunshine Brings the Stirring Visuals and Narrative Intensity

View Comments

• The teaser looks epic and that was what we also got with Goblin last time. She has the upperhand with production willing to spend so much money on her works since she is a certified hitmaker. But I dont trust KES writing. Let's see if she can eventually change my opinion this time.

  • Same. Teaser looks fantastic and just my kind of drama but her writing isn't that praiseworthy in my honest opinion. I'm conflicted. I know the acting will be terrific. It's the writing that I'm worry about.

• Very high production costs just by looking at the quality of this trailer. This drama is attempting to catch the international (read western, American) audience’s attention. The choice of the lead actors (internationally recognized movie stars) and the theme. I guess this will get ratings despite Lee Santa’s scandal because inetz who keep bitching about his scandal are not the target audience of this drama. It seems to have a patriotic theme too and that, if what, attracts people. Didn’t expect a trailer already though.. tvN will market this drama until its premier at this rate so they don’t want to see a failure

  • yes, trailer is very well done. Just curious - how will this drama sell to the North Americans? I can understand if it is done as a movie (ticket sales), but for a drama?... I thot only the Chinese and Japanese will pay for K-dramas... my ignorance in this area... I have never seen a K-drama in an US channel... European channels yes, but North American channels??

    • They stream on Netflix in the US. Many US viewers discover dramas there.

    • There’s Netflix which can buy the license (which means that sites like Viki or Dramafever won’t necessarily show this drama). There are other western streaming sites that want to expand to Kdramas, like Hulu, Amazon etc.
      I know that Hawaii, Israel, Turkey and Arab countries like Lebanon and Kuwait buy rights to mega hit kdramas. These countries are not nearly as big market as Japan or China though. I feel like tvN is trying to aim Mr. Sunshine at western viewers. Goblin managed to do that in a way but this time, it feels like they’re trying more systematically target the western audience

• OMG! D teaser look so good! Hopefully d drama delivers.

• OMG, I have to wait until July 2018.It is killing me.

• Gotta give credit where its due.The cinematography is gorgeous.Byun Yo Han and Yoo Yeon Seok are looking mighty fine.

  • yeahh, but i wish they'd at least wait to include a shot of the 2nd female lead though. it's not like there's a need to rush to release the trailer since it's only premiering July. just felt like someone's missing.

• And this is why I watch her dramas. It's not particular her story writing that I watch the drama for, but for the high production that comes along with her dramas. I watched it a third time already, but I still got chills all over. Got to say, who's ever editing these teasers are really good at hyping up the dramas making you think it'll be great, but then in reality it's just a kind of mediocre story. So, I'll try not to have any big expectations about it.

  • But the hype is really low considering that this is following Goblin. or maybe its because its so far away from July so the mediaplay hasnt really started in earnest.It didnt make it to the naver front page.Also the articles related to the trailer had very little upvotes.Though I must say the views on the trailer itself were ok.

  • I think the cinematography look good since Lee Eung Bok is collaborate with her. I hardly remember Secret Garden and Heirs to be this good visually.

• I get now only haters read and comment on koalaplayground lol

  This drama is gonna be epic at all level because Korean like KES and Joseon. LBH per se won't make a dent in the credibility of this drama. Looking forward to it despite my dislike over period drama.

  • I guess you are a hater? ?

  • Lol. Then since u r here, r u a hater too? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Which blog u want to compare AKP with? DB? Most of the beanies are hypocrites, they have to mask their true opinion to appear cordial all the time. Nobody there dare to go to the exreme. Unlike here, everyone is free to express their thoughts explicitly.

    No doubt this drama may be a rating monster and despite all those popular dramas under KES belt, that does not hide the fact that she is just an average writer-full of concept but lacking of substance and yes not to mention her fondness of fillers n cheese.

    • Lols, db.. I rarely visit there since all the comments are praises, like, cmon, we need sone critics too, not hatred tho.

    • DB?... stupid they cannot tolerate any bit of objections. All faked praises... Hypocrites is the best word to describe those commenters...

• i've not watched lee taeri's movie before but she seems a bit green here. LBH-YYS-BYH look like they will eat her alive. I was looking forward to Kim Sarang, but now that it's switch to KMJ, i was like hmmmmm. KES's show usually have good 2nd leads pairing, even though it tends to be male-centric. Cinematography is great, but is that enough to boost the drama?

• I love Kim Tae Ri's acting. I like her when I watched The Handmaiden movie. Her acting and beauty is amazing. I will definitely watch this drama.

• bet anything lee santa going kiss KTR. even if they 20 year apart. he going look like those creeping japanese man when it happen.

  • Dont worry about betting.They are going to have kiss scenes with Kim Tae Ri.He is going to say the cheesy lines too.They have a love line after all.
