Lee Tae-sung and the boys in Playful Kiss
by javabeans
No guilty panties this time around, but there are some funky hairdos in these latest Playful Kiss promo photos. I know I’ve poked fun at Lee Tae-sung‘s coif before, but I’ll hand it to him: As long as he’s wearing it, at least he’s workin’ it.
Lee plays Bong Jun-gu, a simple-hearted guy who is loyal to main character Ha-ni (Jung So-min). As he’s from the south, he’ll employ a saturi accent, which is always a challenging prospect for an actor. Saturi from the Gyeongsang region, which is what his character speaks, is generally considered one of the more difficult types. To get as authentic and natural an accent as possible, Lee sought out actor Hwang Jung-min and Simon D of the group Supreme Team for help. He found it akin to learning a foreign language, but pledged that when Playful Kiss airs in September, he’ll be ready.
The character has a free-spirited and sly personality, which differs from Lee’s own quiet, calm one. He called his current character work “a new discovery of the Bong Jun-gu inside me.”
Playful Kiss premieres on September 1, following Road No. 1.
As for the photo below… let’s just say I half-expect the boys to bust out with snaps and twirls, singing, “Just play it cool boy… Crazy! Cool! Go! Go!”

Gosh, this pictures of all guys were posing like that when it reminds me of watching that American movie "Grease" by John Travita -- oh, I love it!
Oooh ho ho ho! I really love Lee Tae Sung since he had been impressed me when I watched that AWESOME drama "Time Between Dogs and Wolf" last time, of course. ^_^

I was wondering about Bong Jung-gu's accent....to me it sounds a bit Japanese......as I am not a native Korean I cant tell sometimes if the accent is from a different region but junggu's accent is really unique. I love this character cos I know at the end he is going to be heartbroken....but his character has some endearing qualities...like faithful to the end, accommodating to Hani's needs and being there at all the inapropraite timmes and getting in to all sorts of trouble. I think he will end up with hani's chubby friend....as he likes food and so does she...they make a cute couple, dont you think!

I forgot to mention the other boys...I lvoe them too....like the 3 stooges but with 4 of them!! The blond curly-haired on reminds me so much of Curly.
I cant stop either laughing or smiling after one of their scenes and love the little singing thing they do between episodes.
