[Touya]

ooo... all the serieses looks nice. Who's that guy from heavenly dance series? I think I've never seen him before in any kdramas.

He was in Punch.

[mangosteen]

Oh thanks Touya for letting us know. Those dramas seem interesting even though the cast is kinda new.

[jholic]

wup-pah!! stickied.

incredible job, Touya! thanks for all the work you've done for this site. really appreciate it!

[DarReNz]

ohh many new kdramas to be looking forward to

[mallorn]

aaaah..... looks like my BT won't be getting any rest this year. I'm excited!

[swtlylwun]

hey! thanks for letting us know ^_^

[Touya]

The above list was ranked according with careful thought, so support them as you will! ^____^
You can see how hyped I am for Fashion 70's xD

[lorac]

Touya, any chance there will be English subs for the two Ju Jin Mo series? What is the word on Bichunmoo? A friend told me recently that no TV stations have picked it up because it is too expensive. Hope that is not the case. In any event, maybe Yesasia will release there .... I'm still hoping for an English subbed Punch.

lorac

[ohayo]

what about MBC 내 이름은 김삼순; (My Name is Kim Sam Soon)

i think that it is cute and funny ----> I LOVE IT!!! ^___^

[sweet_heart_1010]

thank you so much I am gonna download these new dramas to enjoy during this summer

[Touya]

updated july 12th

[Jannah]

updated july 12th

Thanks for the updates, Touya. Is there really gonna be an All In 2?? If so, it's the first K-drama sequel I've ever heard of. There were many loose ends in All In's plot, so a sequel would be good. Both LBH & SHG would have to be in it though, to make it complete.

So far The Story of the First King's Four Gods & Seo Dong's Song seem the most interesting.

yeah, Seo Dong's Song is a drama that's been hyped up since the announcement of the fact that the makers of Dae Jang Geum were doing it

[jholic]

Touya: much thanks for your efforts in keeping this thread up-to-date. i think you've done a fine job!

[nikeg]

Where are all the big name actors and actresses... movies?? i guess seeing less known actresses is still cool but i cant understand where the big name actresses have gone (son ye jin, shk, chae rim)

[cutegurl87]

Thanks for the info! Can't wait for them to come out!

[kim™©®]

I can't wait for All In 2...i'm praying/wishing that Song Hae Gyo will pair up with Lee Buyng Hun or the series will not be the same as the first

[athrunjustice]

Time for me to start post padding

Anyway im lookin towards Princess LuLu to come out, and it be another year b4 its dub in vietnamese , enjoyed watchin the main actress in Lovers in Paris :D shes so cute and adorable

[bakajanai]

whaa!? all in 2? although i love the idea b/c many loose ends at the end of the series, i also am afraid of the idea. afraid that they would mess things up and make it a crappy and more draggy drama! the guy was able to do the things he wanted, its good they didnt try and add other stuff to it!

[fayenatic]

hey if SHK is not in All In 2...then yeah, it'd suck major arse...and this is coming from a big LBH fan!

[TNF]

ALL IN 2 !!! WOOOTTT!!!!!!! IS SHK GOING TO BE IN IT???? I WANNA WATCH HER ACT THE PART AGAIN!!!

[Jannah]

hey if SHK is not in All In 2...then yeah, it'd suck major arse...and this is coming from a big LBH fan!

Actually, it'd suck if any of the main characters were missing! It just wouldn't be the same. Hey, wait. Wouldn't Ji Sung be missing then? He's gone to serve in the army!

[jinx23]

Wow, can't wait for the Bae Yong Jun one, haven't seen his series for sooo long!!

[MajidB]

[skyami0830]

omg!!dennis oh i can't wait to see him...in that drama>_<

hmmm...Goong's coming out that soon? i was hoping it wasn't made into a drama cuz the manhwa's so good. a lot of people in korea are mad about the fact that yoon eun hae is starring as chae kyung...saying that she's too fat for the part??!!?? hehe

uh personally i agree. chae kyung is supposed to be really skinny -_-;; Yoon eun hae is not. grrrrr!!

[darkangst]

So the cast is definite?? NOOO, that guy in that picture doesn't look cute at all. And it is quite fast, I would expected it to be around Fall or something. As my friend says, there are lots of cute Korean guys, why pick that one!! *cries* The girls are okay, though, I would prefer a different girl as well. I know NO one's names, haha

[kapompom]

marrying a millionaire n period of love sounds good (KHJ, GS, GWS, SYJ!). couldn't wait for these 2

yep! they already started shooting since september if i'm not mistaken oh n that guy looks cute and quite gorgeous in other pics..he just look like that in those promotional picture ^^

and i think YEH looks OK as chaegyung now let's wait on how her acting will turn out to be

[Touya]

This pic makes the cast seem perfect for the drama. ^^;




I still think Lee Yeong Eun is the best choice for the role of Chae-gyeong >.<

Hm, the friend from Full House... actually that makes sense and she looks prettier, at least in the picture you posted above. Is this the one where the guy looks good only in certain angles.. argghhhhh Hopefully the acting good then.. know how many episodes?]

[nikeg]

[|sUiZiD|]

ahh I cant wait to see Period of Love, hehe I just love to see Son Ye Jin on screen hehe

[ironicwave]

palace and wolf, can't wait to see those!
thx for the info, touya.

[kwon]

Omg, there are so many dramas coming up with lots of great actors and actresses, I wanna see them all hehe...

[SwtAznStar]

they all sound interesting, cant wait for them to come out.

[aly8887]

(The Story of the First King's Four Gods) looks like a really good series to watch...I can't wait... I hope there will be english subs for it though...

[dan12]

what movie is that of the 4 people up there and when is it comin out

[skyami0830]

what movie is that of the 4 people up there and when is it comin out

its not a movie, its a drama callled goong..(otherwise known as "palace")

and touya, i agree with you T_T lee young eun looks so much better for the role. she has more of the air of chaekyung. i can't see yoon eun hae as chaekyung. the air of her personality and her looks just don't match chaekyung's character...T_T

well, i'm gonna watch it happily anyway because its one of my favorite manhwas..
i wanna see how closely they follow it and stuff. but 20 episodes seems a little short i guess they're stopping at the first few volumes of the manhwa?

[chomania1986]

What about the new drama w/ Song Hye Kyo that starts this month?

"My Girl and I" ? Or sth. like that...

Any more info on that? Is it going to be a romantic comedy or a sad love story?

[h2lam]

Does anyone know where I can dowload " Wish Upon a Star" , Is there any other sites to download K dramas besides Daddict? I heard about Club Box but I can't read or understand Korean, how do I use it?

[greenenvy]

any news on ALL IN 2? or it is just rumors? thanks!

[mrs_xaiko]

is the drama goong (palace) going to air in march?? i read in the soompi forums that it will actually air in january?? which is it?? i would really like to see it since the manga was good....

I think its going to be a sad love story. , i read from somewhere that it was based on a japanese film/drama: crying out love in the centre of the world..i think that was the name of the film/ drama. Sekai no Chuusin de, Ai wo Sakebu.

Bae Yong Jun will be making another TV series soon. He said that his fee was 3 million Taiwan dollar equivalent per episode but the industry expert said that it was more like one third of that amount only. Nevertheless it is still a high amount.

The news reported that Bae's fees are 2 million approximately. Big stars who makes series do not get as much as in the movies but when you add up the episodes and the bonus from overseas distribution royalties, it is quite substantial. At the moment, Lee Young Ae has the highest fee of 1 million Taiwan dollar.

In the meantime, Kim Hee Sun has announced that she would make the May series called Crazy Love Song. The investment is 10 million Korean Won and they would film in Firenze, Japan and Korea. This would become the standard for many Korean dramas.
