Wedding No. 2 is sadder than sadness
by javabeans
(I still think that the title for Kwon Sang-woo‘s new film A Story Sadder than Sadness is lamer than lameness.)
This just-released still photo shows newlywed (and soon-to-be dad) Kwon and co-star Lee Bo-young posing in wedding attire for the inaugural shoot for their film, although the scenes aren’t for the film proper. Rather, they are shooting more of an elaborate promo — they’re calling it a “special edition music video” — which will be released on Christmas Eve as a teaser video.
The three lead stars also convened on December 10 to talk with the press.
In the still at the top from the music video/teaser, Lee Bo-young’s character is planning to marry Lee Beom-soo’s character when she visits a wedding shop and runs into Kwon Sang-woo. Kwon plays a radio PD who’s deeply in love with her but cannot find a way to express his feelings. Through a misunderstanding, the shop employees assume Kwon is the groom and dress him in the tuxedo. (And… he plays along because he is creepy?)
(Which, by the way, is an absurd scenario given their physical appearances — there’s no way someone of Kwon’s height and build would fit into a tux tailored for Lee Beom-soo. One glance at the two men side by side, as above, would tell you that. But whatever, reality knows no place in a Korean melodrama/music video!)
Upon donning wedding apparel so soon after his September wedding, Kwon said, “To wear a tuxedo this soon after my wedding makes me feel more awkward than excited.”
The film is set to open in theaters on White Day (a month after Valentine’s Day, March 14).

LBY is a very lucky girl, being paired with HB and now with KSW.
May be i should check her out, to know what`s so special about her.
They look sad in the wedding photo.

^ Probably that's why it's called Sadder than Sadness? =P
I don't like KSW's look in that pic (altho I'm a fan of the actor), he looks like he's slimmed down.. and doesn't look like he's had good sleep..
Lee Bo Young also looks freaking thin.. look at her face!
BUT, that aside, I'm really looking forward to the movie (altho I HATE the title).. with KSW and LBS, anything's watchable for me..

i'm not a big fan of lee bo young as i think she sometimes over-acts in one or two dramas i've seen! i hope they have a good chem cause i'm a huge fan of kwon sang but i think either ha ji won or son ye jin could be a better pair in this film!

Kwon Sang-woo looks so different. Don't like the hair but yet he looks beautiful when he smiles! Looks like a really.... to put it in your words...Lame,Lamer,Lamest drama yet. Why does he pick these?

I would have been more interested if it was the other way around, LBY was supposed to marry KSW but fell in love with LBS instead. I don't know, if they put an equally handsome and striking actor as KSW to play LBY's ditched fiance (say, someone like Wonbin or Yoon Kyesang or whoever), it would've been more interesting to me.

What does "sadder than sadness" even mean?

indeed KSW looks tired and sadder than sadness.
Why? He should be excited that he's going to be a dad only in 6 months of marriage!
I think I've had enough sad melodramas. I don't like the casts, so I'll pass. ( even though I used to think LBY is beautiful, she does look thin, and non healthy pale. Sigh )
@melica : it means that after you watch the movie you'll feel want to bang your head.. :P I know it's lamer than lameness, I'm sorry.^^

That's a weird scenario. "...he plays along because he is creepy?" And the soon-to-be bride doesn't say anything either? O_o
Em, I think I'll pass on this movie.

Yes, it's true.
He seems depressed.
As the scenario of his new project.

I am putting money on this:
Someone (I am betting on KSW) will die of cancer or congenital heart disease.
We need a drama where someone dies a slow death from Type 2 Diabetes.

The poto wedding of BO YOUNG & SANG WOO IS SAD.
This is sad drama as BAD LOVE of SANG woo & LEE YO WON. Lee Bo Young Is PRETTY Girl.
I hope She will find success in this drama A Story Sadder than Sadness.

with such a plot (melodrama is, imo, out of times already), will this fail more than failure?

"...reality knows no place in a Korean melodrama..." lol! No truer words have been spoken. I finally "got" kdrama once this concept sank in.
