Ro Woon and Park Eun Bin Bring the Height Difference and Slow Burn in First Teaser Poster for KBS Sageuk Drama Affection

This drama is cross-dressing on a life-or-death scale, and I couldn’t be happier. In K-drama cross-dressing stories it’s always the fear of being found out but here the female lead posing as her dead twin brother is cross-dressing as the Crown Prince of Joseon. Discovery means off with her head! The drama Affection (Yeonmo) has been filming in late spring and today KBS released the teaser poster and the premiere date of October 11th. If the drama is as good as it could be from the synopsis and casting, it will be a treat to be finishing up Lovers of the Red Sky and segue into Affection, like sageuk fine dining with multiple courses. I love love love the teaser poster, it’s not original or terribly memorable but it’s striking with leads Park Eun Bin and Ro Woon staring at each other with that gorgeous height differential and the sun streaming in from the paper door framing them so we don’t see their full faces so we can only interpret this emotional moment. It’s understated and very sageuk appropriate.

KBS is on a winning streak with its sageuk dramas – Secret Royal Inspector, River Where the Moon Rises, Affection and Thinking of Flowers When I See the Moon. They already have two successes so two more to go plus the very traditional sageuk slot they’ll be restarting in December. They’ll have more lined up for 2022 too I’m sure.

  Yeah, especially, River. It is reaping awards and nominations from the most prestigious award-giving bodies of SoKor.

Now this is a sageuk I’m so looking forward to. I really hope it’s as amazing as it looks. Please be a The Princess Man in terms of romance intensity. So many sageuks and so few of that level.

So so excited for this!

  Don’t think it’ll be Princess Man levels of intensity because I can see one of the producers is Monster Union and they lean for more cute romance like Tale of Nokdu which also be great.

I’m so impatient for this one. I love this trope, Park Eun-Bin and Rowoon, the fact it’s a sageuk! She looks so tiny but still solemn in front of him.

AHHHHHHHHHH THEY LOOK SO CUTE! We got a glimpse of saeguk Rowoon in Extraordinary You but they absolutely butchered his hair so it was only a half-baked look tbh but NOW. Man’s dressed to the nines in that scholar look and PEB is an absolute gem of an actress so I’m just so, so excited for this. By God, the scriptwriter better not let me down because these two have the chops to make even a shitty story look good but they deserve better than that. Prayers up.
