Family photo of Life Is Beautiful cast
by javabeans
Cast photos are out of hitmaker writer Kim Soo-hyun‘s new SBS weekend drama, Life Is Beautiful. In a Brady Bunch-esque move, a second marriage for a couple brings together their children, creating a large family comprising multiple generations.
This cast features a bevy of familiar faces from Kim’s previous dramas, among them “Korea’s Mom” Kim Hae-sook. Mom’s Dead Upset actress Jang Mi-hee is another returning star, although she’s not in these photos (her character is in another of the families featured in the drama). (Also not pictured: Nam Sang-mi, who leads the younger set. That generation includes Song Chang-eui as well as former pop singer Nam Gyu-ri in her drama debut, both of whom are pictured above.)
At the center is the matriarch of this family, Kim Yong-rim, who has held everyone together over the years despite a philandering husband who neglects his own family. Flanking her in the above photo are Kim Hae-sook and Kim Young-chul in the middle generation, who come together in a second marriage. Woo Hee-jin, at top left, plays Kim Hae-sook’s daughter from the first marriage and works at a resort, while Lee Min-woo plays her husband.
Song Chang-eui, meanwhile, is the son of Kim Young-chul and plays a 34-year-old doctor of internal medicine. Lee Sang-yoon and Nam Gyu-ri, top right, are children of the second marriage.
Confused yet? Well, you’ll have 50 episodes to figure it out. The drama takes place on Jeju Island and premieres on March 13.

I actually don't think the family is that big... just a bit confusing remembering who is who :/
Too bad Yoo Min wasn't in the picture....
I hope there is another set of pictures with Yoo Min and Nam Sang Mi!
As long as this drama isn't boring, it looks like my next drama to watch with mom :D
I also love Kim Hae Sook~ She almost reminds me of my mom (no wonder she's called the Nation's Mom). Her face meshed with Yoon Yeo Jung would look like my mom :O

@11 to 14
You're guys are so cute. you guys just saw "are beautiful" and automatically became YAB...lol..still not over the YAB fever,eh? It's ok; I heard it's not curable (he he).
Lee Min Woo ( almost read as Lee Min Ho as in F4, he he )
He was great as the oldest son in Gu Hye Sun's earlier drama (Pure 19).

The family portrait looks so awkward and uncomfortable. It looks as though they grabbed a bunch of random people and grouped them into a photo... oh wait.. they did! Nice to see Lee Min Woo back in a drama again though!

I'm a huge fan of "Mom's Dead Upset" writer, so I'm actually looking forward to this drama.

The little girl is Jeong Da Bin, who plays shin-bi in wonderful life. She is 10 years old now. I think she isn't looked cute anymore, but now she's looked lovely.
