I like Moon a lot from My Little Bride, Innocent Steps among others & noticed that she's being paired in both of the said projects with a much older actor than her age -- not that I had problems with his leading men cause I like both of them & now Park Shin Yang who is also one of my favorites! I just don't know what's with that that this young & talented actress seems to have been paired with older actors! Yes she & Park look like he's introducing his young daughter to society in that photo. I look forward to watching this drama though as I like both actors here.

Yay, she's back!
She looks so so happy in these photos, haha!
And yeah, they really do look like father and daughter O_O
Esp in the photo where MGY latched on to his arm.

I couldnt recognize PSY.
in d 1st pic I was thinking where is he?
clicked for more pic then realised hes standing right next to MGY.

You know, I have to really admire Moon Geun Young. Usually, a young actress like her would have me rolling my eyes. With the media's love affair with her and crowning her as Korea's Little Sister, this whole nation's obsession with her can get tiring. However, there's something about Moon Geun Young that makes me root for her despite being overhyped. I think she makes smart career moves. No, not all her movies are groundbreaking. In fact, her last one was quite lackluster. But at least she doesn't sign up for some cheesy, teen movie, or sexromp, or overdone horror movie and can you imagine how many trendy dramas she's rejected? (Thank god!)

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this drama. Not only because I love period dramas and for Moon Geun Young, but BAE SOO BIN!!! He's one of those quiet actors who nobody really knows much about and has fans like me screaming why doesn't anyone notice him?!

I know you will warn about the "too old too young". But I can't help it !!!

I'm looking forward to see how they pull it off. If not, it will be pure creepy.

hi
I get it. I get the argument that he is too old and she is too young. For me it has been a non issue. Reason being: the prospects of having too very talented actors working together is far exciting then the age difference. To me a dialogue between actors is like a tennis match, anytime the players are uneven quality of the game suffers. In this case, I cannot wait to see how the two actors handle the scenes with each other.

Ah, I'm so excited for this one. I'm not exactly sure why, but for some reason I just feel like it's going to be really good. Hope I won't be too disappointed...

Nah, Park Shin Yang doesn't look like Moon Geun Yeung's dad. Give him a break already. He only looks like Moon's favorite young uncle....you know, the cool uncle who always spoilt you when you were small and even took you to the zoo, dragging along his girlfriend whom you detested. :)

wow i didn't see it before, but PSY and the PD! :O

wow, normally i wouldn't care too much of the age gap if it was only a few years younger/older, but he's 19 years older than she is! she's only 21 this year while he is 40? that's just too weird and nasty for me, i' ll be surprise if they can pull it off, but that still doesn't make it okay. What were they thinking? I might have to pass on this series ...

this is exciting! moon geun-young has slimmed so much. she appears to be acting like an energized newbie with her blank slate, in many of the stills. no longer the star with a "precocious lil sis" image to upkeep :) i think their romance *could* work, if he's emotionally an immature little boy at heart, and her character is too wise, world-weary but still vulnerable for the right man...or maybe not :D
i laugh whenever PSY is in a photo with his PD.

moon is so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Park shin Yang, a great actor. your comments there was funny. he really does look like his dad going to her first banquet.. lol, cute.. i love her, she's super cute..

I personally think the awkward factor of the age difference might be significantly reduced in the historical and dramatic context of the drama. Seeing MGY the acctress with PSY the actor is very different than seeing the two characters as portrayed by the two of them. I've seen a few trailers and video clips and I think they just might pull it off. If they do it'll probably be really good. Plus I think their relationship will be on the subtle side, which will help. I for one am very much looking forward to this drama. I think it has a lot going for it, but I gues we'll see won't we?

"The older male teacher/younger female student is ubiquitous in real life. The teacher/student power dynamic naturally lends itself to that kind of stuff."

Yeah, that's how I see it too. When the adaptation of this novel got announced, I immediately thought of Camille Claudel-like story. Male eacher feels threatened by genius, rebellious female student who bucks all the trends. Jealousy, creative adoration, and social convention turns into love and hate. Lovers turn into rivals and in the end, one life is destroyed.

This was kinda serious candidate for drama of the year. But if this ends up being Mulan with a paint brush, or Watercolor Princes in Paris, I'll love it too. :D

omg! park shin yang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she's cute:D i love moon geun young:D

Ive always checked the latest news in ur website.even from my mobile phone.thx javabeans.anyway,would u recap painter in the wind n kingdom of the winds either?

She's so cute! Can't believe she's all grown up now! Can't wait to check out her new drama! I know she's gonna do a great job! She always has!

WOW just WOW...
Finished 2 episodes, and seriously they blew me away~~~...
I was bit dissapointed this year bc i haven't found a drama that really took me... i know it's early to say, cause you know only 2 episodes but OMG THE BEST drama of 2008!!!

The scenes, music, acting, etc etc

MGY!! her acting is superb!!
PSY before, never thought he was good looking,but wow... his expressions... way he looks at Shin Bok is like.... O_O.... now i know why he's one of the best actors.

Everyone should give this drama a try... omg... i can't wait too see ep 3.

This drama is really really good. The chemistry between MGY & PSY is undeniably great. I love them both and enjoy all the scenes they are in together! Can't wait to watch the remaining 4 episodes!!!! BRAVO!!!

I just finished watching Painter of the Wind. MGY really has an edge in everything. She is just so beautiful in many aspects. There was never any disappointment in her acting skills here. PSY, just as brilliant.

can't deny that PSY and MGY look like a father and daughter in these photos but I think that PSY doesn't really look that old, he may be having the worst fashion in style, the whole stuff he's doing to himself is just unfair, the awful suit, the tie, the glasses and of course I needn't speak about the hair. This whole stupid look would make a twenty years old guy look old, anyway, his acting was just brilliant and I felt no awkwardness between them, I rarely enjoyed a thing as I enjoyed POTW.
