Cinderella’s wicked, tacky stepmother Lee Mi-sook
by javabeans
Now that we’ve covered the younger generation, here we have “original femme fatale” Lee Mi-sook dressed up as the cheap- and tacky-looking stepmom (“촌티, 싼티, 빈티”) from Cinderella’s Sister.
To be honest, I’m a little tired out by the constant stream of photos about the drama, the dribs and drabs of info without a lot of real substance. All sizzle and no steak, which makes me think that perhaps they started the promo blitz a little early ’cause we’ve still got two weeks before the actual premiere.
In any case, Lee Mi-sook downgrades her elegant image playing Moon Geun-young‘s mother and Seo Woo‘s stepmother, whose character is described as a bit vulgar. She meets widower Kim Gab-soo and wins him over with demure smiles and delicate tears that hide the fact that she’s quite cold on the inside. She wears a bit too much makeup and a permed hairstyle, with clothing Lee picked out herself to make her look tacky.

My mom saw her in person in Korea when they were both 20 and she said she was absolutely beautiful. My dad thought she was the best looking from the film "Actresses." hehehe~ I know it has nothing to do with Cinderella's Sister but just thought I'd share~

I will look forward to seeing Lee Mi Sook looking this way. To me she is the most elegant woman on the screen so it will certainly be a wrench to see her looking tacky. She has the talent to have confidence to be a character like this.
I still remember her in 'An Affair' with Lee Jung Jae. He is also a very elegant looking man and when he smiles the world melts at his feet. I wish they would act together once more.

she's one elegant looking "tacky" woman. she could be in rags and still make it look elegant.... and i don't think she's looking "cheap" at all, unless they mean that she doesn't wear brand name clothing cheap, cuz she's not like sleazy-looking-cheap.

I agree with your comments about "the dribs and drabs of info without a lot of real substance." Even the stills we saw are from the promotional music videos they filmed separately from the drama itself so I still have no idea how the drama will shape up to be.. anyhow.. here is the most recent MV teaser they showed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25FdSq2B2_k Seo Woo looks like she just scared whoever's sitting next to her with that sudden burst of laugh and ugh.. I'm not liking Taecyeon's trying to be cutsy AT ALL. I do not want to see him doing that again in the drama.

@[6]nabi: Thanks for sharing the MV teaser. Looks interesting, and that GnR song totally rocks the part as b/g music.
That's "tacky?" C'mon, is this layman's term or Vogue magazine term for 'tacky?"
I like her tacky taste. O ,o

That's tacky but she wears it well, which lessens the tackiness. It's all about the attitude!

She's wearing Snow White colors...hehe.
She doesn't look tacky to me either. She should've taken pointers from Kang Ha's mom in WUAS.

@nabi thanks for directing us to another teaser! I like this one a lot. Looks like Moon Geun Young is going to be GREAT! Also, Chun Jung Myung!! And yes, I agree: hopefully Taecyeon will not be doing much of *that* (whatever it was) in the drama.
@javabeans: since this is the first time I've had new dramas to anticipate (being a newbie I had to be educated in the classics first) I'm not sure how they normally promote shows, but I like the "sizzle minus steak" method. They're keeping us guessing. I still have no idea what direction CS will take, but the little tidbits have tickled my fancy enough that I'll tune in.
Also: while the tackiness of stepmother's clothes is debatable, I think she has the tacky facial expressions down perfectly. : )

even in tacky clothes, she still looks elegant. love her so much in "Untold Scandal". i know Bae Young-jun was the lead male in that movie, but I like LMS's onscreen chemistry with the very young (oh so young) Jo Hyun Jae better than her chem with BYJ.
LMS is a really good actress and a very confident one at that. She doesn't try to outshine her co-stars, rather she helps them so that they could shine all together.

@9Snikky
I totally agree! Kang Ha's mom was the epitome of tackiness...

Oh come on people. The drama's not even come out yet and you're already being judgmental. Keep those silent thoughts to yourselves until the thing premieres.

@Snikki and @Ariel
I was thinking the same thing. The mole on Kang-Ha's mom's face totally raise her tackiness. Those thick eyebrow, which could be mistaken for a uni-brow from afar, does not alleviate the tackiness either. lol

Even with the a "tacky outfit" on she still looks beautiful and classy. When I think of tacky, I think of Go Soo's Character's mother in Will It snow In Christmas. Nothing against the actress, but her style was definitely tacky at times.

Hahaha, I love the "tacky" twist, and on her own accord too. It looks like LMS is going to bring it for this step-mom role. Hopefully the promos don't disappoint me when it comes to the real thing. Too much of that lately, though not in K ent.
