Lee Da Hae has been very active as this is now her 3rd drama in less than 2 years. Hello Miss! and Robbers didn't do too well so I hope this one is gonna be a success for her. Good to see Lee Yeon Hee in it too, and with SSH as the leading male, there's plenty of eye candy for everyone Smile

The story seems to be VERY typical though, with a bit of a mix between Autumn Tale and Resurrection. Let's just hope there won't be any nosebleeds! And 50 episodes.....that's about 30 too many already.

Gah...I didn't want to watch this at first when I heard Song Seung Heon was the male lead - the man is gorgeous, but his acting is painful to watch sometimes - but now with Lee Da Hae and Lee Yeon Hee confirmed as the rest of the love triangle I don't know if I'll be able to resist...... The plot does sound a tad bit annoying (not another Autumn Tale?!) but I'm glad it's a tearjerker. I haven't seen one of those in forever.
Ah, Dennis Oh is in this too. It's just eye candy all over the place isn't it?

Indeed. That's probably the reason why they haven't put any effort into the plot and just ripped it right off other k-dramas. Who needs an original story when there's so much sight-seeing to be done? But I must admit, even for someone as shallow as I am who watches k-dramas primarily because of good looking stars will find it difficult to sit through this marathon.

Yeah it better be a GOOD drama.
I mean theres Song Seung Hun. His so hot man.
And Lee Da Hae I've always liked her acting.
Too bad the castings seems to zoom into the 3trio guys.
But still can't wait though Big Smile.
(Though I need to wait after my 'N's) UGH

Does anyone have an idea about when this will come out? Will it be this summer, this fall, next year, etc? Thanks you very much. Sounds like it has a fine cast. I love a good eye candy drama! :-D

Han Ji Hye has been confirmed as a member of the East of Eden cast. Ooooh, exciting! She's a cutie. This drama better be good.

Wow, I was really hoping this would be some what like the real East of Eden by Steinbeck.

I really wish that Korean drama will adopt some American themes, instead of the other way around

New EOE promo pics! With SSH looking very manly and the 3 leading ladies looking stunning:

Hidden:






for more pics, go to coolsmurf's blog.



The drama doesn't look interesting at all, but with this all-star cast I'll have to check out the first episode at least.

The look should have the same high gloss and sophistication as Le Dolce Vita, as they're both done by the same director. Because it's a daeha drama, there's a push for stars, elaborate sets, and some kind of "big" story. Though judging by the synopsis, the story doesn't look like they're attempting an Age of Heroes or Seoul 1945.

Dennis Oh will be cast as "Michael", so I guess Lee Yun Hee will deliver some lines in English. Huh.

Lee Da Hae looks great in the promo shots, but she seems to have lost a bit of weight, which tends to happen to a lot of K-actresses who rise in fame. Too much pressure in the industry to be thin?

I'm still hoping for Dennis Oh to be matched up with LDH as her English is pretty decent, but considering she's the female lead and Dennis is like...an extra, it probably won't happen.

I sure hope LYH's English is tolerable....or maybe Dennis should learn some Korean! How hard is it to say sarang-hae-yo? Really, both Daniel Henney and Dennis O'Neil need to learn some Korean if they're gonna stay in the industry instead letting the Koreans learn English instead.

But anyway...EOE seems to be hyped up quite a bit, only second to SHK's TWTTLI ...gonna be an interesting next few months.

Hmm.. Yun Jung Hoon, I think he is pretty good of an actor but his English isn't good at all. I'm now watching Snow White and he had to speak some English in it, I sure hope it's gotten better!! I glanced at the cast and it sure seems to be good! Even Lee Yeon Hee is in it. I guess I have to watch this. It's a pity that Dennis Oh got a minor role... but him and LYH together, awww. They will make a great couple. and AWWW Park Gun Tae is there too! He sure did GREAT job in Misa and TBDaW

Well. Plot seems so typical but it seem sintresting. At least it's the stuff I like. Sounds like there is gonna be lotsa action. But if plot happens to suck I sure hope that cast would save it (like in lobbyist)

I think Daniel Henney should learn either English or Korean well because his English seriously sucks and his Korean sounds funny xD

Da Hae is also a runner, so she's naturally skinny. I think a lot of it is just losing the babyfat, and cultural beauty standards the viewer brings in viewing them. Korean standards tend to prefer a more angular look (i.e. jawline and prominent nose.) If you prefer a moon or heart-shaped face with saucer-like eyes ("Chinese beauty"), then as they get older, they may seem less attractive.

MBC's 2008 season pretty much rests on this one show, and they've spent it like that too. The sales to China and Japan should help a lot, but they really need this show to pull Yi San (doing crazy business in China BTW) like numbers. High 20s and maybe 30s.

TWTTLI


There's some pressure on both Binnie and Hye Kyo to deliver with this show, even though the writer doesn't really write that kind of drama. Though I think this show, again, will do VERY VERY VERY well in China.
