Playful Kiss kids in uniform
by javabeans
Gah, and what ugly uniforms they are. Boys Before Flowers may have featured indecently short schoolgirl outfits more suited for adult-fun-times role playing, but at least they were cute. The three leads of Playful Kiss are featured in the August 6 broadcast of MBC’s Section TV Entertainment Report, which found the trio at the drama’s poster shoot.
Above we have the two leads, Kim Hyun-joong and Jung So-min. Aside from the ugly brown, they look very cute together. Alas, why does Lee Tae-sung (below) look like Duckie?
On the upside, the kids look like they have good rapport, and hopefully that’ll translate onscreen. If it doesn’t, well, something tells me the drama will be entertaining anyway.
Playful Kiss premieres on September 1, and airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays opposite Baker King Kim Tak-gu and My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho. Tough timeslot! It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out, since the dramas (particularly Kiss and Girlfriend) are bound to cut into each other’s audiences.)

Aw, man...there goes my hope again, creeping upwards due to the cuteness factor (pompadour notwithstanding).
Down, girl! Bad! Very bad! (shakes finger at hope)! Get back low where you belong!
Such a sucker for cute pics. :-(

Looking forward to this......Since LSG got the girl in BL/SI and I don't like the sound of a human liver eating leading lady.... I so like to see KHJ end up with the girl ...

Hmmm...I thought the uniforms were different since the two sets released had them wearing navy blue instead of brown...oh well....I am so excited since the casts looks very good...still skeptical about KHJ's acting but will wait until then

Lee Tae-sung's hair style is exactly same as Kinnosuke's in the manga. he's dorkie, but adorable.

HAHAHAHAHA, Lee Tae-sung's character from the manga is actually supposed to have that kind of old fashioned/gangsterish hairstyle. In fact, they actually kind of toned it down for the drama, since in the manga it looked more like an Elvis-esque pompadour!

Oh I wish the fans don't hate too much the leading actress... some of the people don't like her character because in the drama bad guy she is a spoiled brat and selfish... and annoying.. but I really hope the people know that the character and the actress are different? Have nothing to do with each other, Btw, looved her acting in BG, in the last episode her appeared too. I'll stop or I'll give spoilers here. lol xD And btw, urgh really these uniforms are uuugly... I saw they wearing different uniforms too. why these then?? o___0

I was never really a fan of the manbangs so oft sported by idols like KHJ (in both this and BOF). I find them super distracting, and they kinda piss me off, though I'm not quite sure why. Although, I gotta say, LTS's poof isn't much better. Oi. I'd rather have straight silly-ness (Girlfriend Gumiho?) than silly-ness that thinks it's cool...

Jung So-min reminds me a LOT of Ariel Lin, who played the same role in the Taiwanese version of the story (titled "It Started With a Kiss"). They have very similar appearances. The height difference between her and Kim Hyun-Joong is rather similar to Ariel Lin and Joe too. But the third guy--maybe he looks like the original manga character?? He doesn't look anything like Jiro did in the same role. *laughs*
As for the uniforms, I don't think the story stays in high school very long, so hopefully we won't have to deal with that ugly brown forever. It really is kind of gross, and not all brown uniforms are, so that was a mistake on the costumer's part, definitely!

Thanks for the pics by the way. I don't know why they're in these babybarf uniforms when I thought the other navy ones look rather good.

Who design those uniforms?? Do the people in the production have any sense of aesthetics or colour? Hope this is not an indication of the style and fashion in this drama. The colour is all wrong with the skin tone.

Oh..it seems they try to make it as close as the japan dorama (as far as I know the colour of it is ..yes.brown, but seems different fabric). I think the uniform seems cheap here, doesn't it?
For Lee Tae sung..I think that he is probably play as the gang member which friends with the heroine. That is probably the reason oh his hair and alsothe uniform style

They look so darn adorable and cute, very much fit with the manga characters.
The girl is cute though. Why do some of you hate her for the character she's portrating? She must has done a great job as a bad girl.
Love the first picture! A cold guy and not-so-smart but sweet girl.

If people are hating on JSM because of her portrayal in Bad Guy then that just means she's that good of an actress. I haven't seen BG but I know a bit about her character. It'd be interesting to see if she can pull off this character in Playful Kiss since it's so much different from Bad Guy and it'll show that she can play different roles. The fact that everyone hates on her tells me that she's a good actress and I'm looking forward to watching her (:
And yeah, LTS=Duckie. My thoughts exactly, lol.

I knew Hyun Joong was known to be Yamapi's Korean look alike for quite some time now (and both lack expressive eyes in acting), but WOAH.
I can't even think about the outfits seriously when all I'm thinking is "OMG PI IN A K-DRAMA!" Totally the middle fringe.
I wonder who was hired for their outfits. Couldn't they have gone to Elite Uniforms for their outfits? (Or if they did... then I'm speechless).
And what's up with LTS's yankee hair? Very... interesting.

No comment on Hyun Joong looking like Pi of old (Nobuta or ProDai days).
But have you seen what Johnny did to my Pi!!! He turned him sunkened sallow cheeks like he just got sent down from filming the Japanese version of Twilight.

i'm a maybe in this drama

but if i cringe on any acting, editing, or improper music position, i'm switching channels
they did that for BOF and i hated that drama even though it was really popular

"some of the people don’t like her character because in the drama bad guy she is a spoiled brat and selfish…"
It's more about what her character does in the BG Finale, and I'm still reeling from it. POOR BIDAM I mean Shim Gun Wook I mean Hong Tae Sung I mean Kim Nam Gil I mean . . .
Sigh. :(
Jung So Min resembles YEH a little, but her acting recalls pre/during My Sassy Girl-era Jeon Ji Hyun. She has the same intensity in her focus and enigmatic presence. I think she's talent.
Lee Tae Sung not only looks like Duckie, but he kinda looks like he just stepped out of Great Teacher Onizuka.

I'm so glad I haven't seen the female leads in any drama because I'm sure I would have some perception of her, but right now, I'm really looking forward to her playing the role Ariel Lin played because she looks like she can definitely pull it off..
its called PLAYFUL KISS.....and they look pretty playful to me =)

I'm not a huge fan of the jackets (I like the rest of the uniform though) but if this series really follows the manga, they will only be in those uniforms for the first half of episodes anyway, so it's not like we'll have to stare at that brown forever :D
