Indie band Bye Bye Sea in Playful Kiss
by girlfriday
After just finishing a guest spot on I Am Legend, indie band Bye Bye Sea [안녕바다] has been cast in the upcoming drama Playful Kiss, where they will play classmates to Jung So-min and Lee Tae-sung’s characters in the third-rate class full of delinquents.
Playful Kiss director Hwang In-roi was working on the music selection for the drama, when an acquaintance introduced him to Bye Bye Sea. He met with them and loved their unique tone and energy so much that he cast them on the spot.
Bye Bye Sea (안녕바다) – “내 맘이 말을 해” (My heart speaks). Both songs are reposted from previous entries. [ Download ]

Bye Bye Sea has inhabited the indie scene for a few years, but popped onto people’s radars with the release of their first mini album in December of last year. They played a great band-in-training on SBS’s I Am Legend, but this time they’ll get to stretch their acting abilities, playing something other than a version of their own band.
Members Namu (vocal, guitar), Joon-hyuk (drums), Myung-jae (bass), and Dae-hyun (programming, keyboard) will hopefully get to have some fun and give some attitude as the slacker contingent in the high school’s last-place classroom.
The unorthodox method of casting turned a lot of heads in the industry, but once the guys got on set for the poster shoot and the drama, everyone praised Director Hwang for finding such untainted actors with fresh charm. Here’s hoping that Hwang’s deft hand as a director can mold ALL of the cast, and that he makes good use of quirky side characters like these.
Production is full steam ahead on the drama, and it airs September 1 on MBC.

LOL, "ALL" of the cast.. Thinly veiled, hahaha. Here's to hoping. Hwang did well with Jung Ilwoo, so that's an optimistic thing.

The inflections in his singing remind me of Kim Jong Wan of nell a lot (even the songs have sort of the same feel)--thankfully he has a pretty distinct voice...

I can't help but ask: Is that a wig? O_o
Eitherway, they seem to fit well but I will not be fooled by some pretty pictures. D:

My favorite part about them in I Am Legend is when their manager defends, "They're not pretty like FT Island but my boys are going to succeed on talent!" And then Hong Ji-min drools about Hong-ki anyway.

Coolness! I really liked "Starlight Falls" so I only hope the soundtrack of the drama is just as good. How long is the drama going to be, btw? 16 eps or longer?
P.S. The blonde hair is very Hong-ki/ G-Dragon =)

"내 맘이 말을 해" has been one of my favourite songs since I downloaded it back at your first posting, so I'm glad they're gaining some popularity now. :)

Yay!!
I'm actually looking forward to this. They seems to be very down to earth and carefree so they won't have certain reserves.
I really loved Starlight Falls (which by the way thank you SO MUCH JB for the downloads)
They're so cute :)

I am "Glad" that somebody recognize where their influence comes from "SUEDE" one of the most influential bands in "Indie Rock" "Dog Man Star" A classic album.
"The wild ones" enjoy!!

if they're sound can be part of the OST, i wouldnt mind. but as much as i'm fond of quirky characters, i hope not TOO MUCH focus on them that it'll put production with less time to input important aspects of the story. i think ISWAK/TKA worked well because of its length. kdrama doesn't have that luxury - unless they really consider 2 seasons.

This is fantastic music. Even if the drama decides to oversaturate on these songs (think tmax and what happened in BOF), at least it won't drive me nuts.
Hwang In-roi has a great ear for music. The music in his dramas are always well selected.

Saw them on Arirang and Namu had such a wonderful voice. They have potentials to be the best on stage. Bye Bye Sea wish them the best of luck.
