At the poster shoot for Mary Stayed Out All Night
by javabeans
Here’s our first look at the characters of Mary Stayed Out All Night! The four lead actors — Moo Geun-young, Jang Geun-seok, Kim Jae-wook, and Kim Hyo-jin — participated in the drama’s title and poster shoot on October 6.
I’m not going to complain about Jang Geun-seok’s look here, because I think he’s actually quite pretty — but that’s the thing. All four of these actors are basically on the same end of the feminine-masculine spectrum here. I know, it’s based on a manhwa, and we know that shoujo manga/soonjung manhwas are all about the pretty, pretty boys. Oh well. I can always turn to Runaway to get my manly-men fix.
Jang plays indie-band singer Mu-gyul, who’s characterized by a boho sense of style. Moon plays Mary, whose fashion sense doesn’t seem too far off from Mu-gyul. Is that how we know they’re meant to be? Not only will they engage in lots of comic shenanigans and fall in love, they can swap wardrobes! Meanwhile, the two Kims both sport a more chic, urban style as characters Jung-in and Seo-jun.
Following the poster shoot, Jang said, “I’m happy and excited. I want to stay this way through the end. The shooting atmosphere is wonderful.” He said of the wave of fan-made posters for the drama, “I was amazed at the fans’ interest, and I’d like to give them my gratitude. With the poster shoot being so enjoyable, I hope the poster comes out great and receives a good response.”
Moon said, “The feel of Hongdae [a neighborhood of Seoul] goes well with the drama’s concept, and shooting is fun. Since we’re all the same age, it was comfortable and fun to shoot together. I look forward to the first shoot for the drama.”
Kim Jae-wook said, “It feels like it went by so quickly. Us actors are still in the process of getting to know each other, but we get a long well and were able to shoot satisfactorily.”
Kim Hyo-jin said, “This is the first shoot, and since the atmosphere was so great, I look forward to the drama. I’ll study the character and give my own take on ‘Seo-jun.'”
Mary Stayed Out All Night premieres on November 8.

LOL um. What up w/ the clothes?
I thought polished was supposed to mean polished, not grungy...?
(Ah well hopefully it's just one fashion faux pas.) I mean I can deal w/ Geun-seok's clothes-that-would-totally-look-good-on-a-girl (actually I kind of want them LOL) but... Jae-wook's clothes?
Just, no.
(And Kim Hyo-jin's clothes look like a rich college kid's version of "indie girl"... Just my own humble opinion though.)

Groan.
Honestly, the styling turns me off. Of course, not enough to make me not want to tune in to enough to dim my excitement.

This is going to be awesome.
I was so thrown when I saw MGY because I still have Eun-jo floating around in my head. But here she looks Luna Lovegood-esque which I abso-freaking-lutely love. I can't get over how different she looks! It's not just the styling it's how she carries herself, I-I can't wait!
I think that for the boys as far as being "manly" or traditionally masculine, I don't think that in terms of appearance or styling either fit the bill, but to me KJW has more masculine mannerisms. While JGS tends to be a bit more girly.

hmm. not feeling any particular way about these photos. only MGY surprised me - not sure how i feel about the hair...
speaking of, i think there's a point in the manga where JGS's character cuts his hair (like Momo in Kimi Wa Petto! lol) so maybe we'll get our wish for a shorter-haired JGS. doubt we'll see any fashion changes though, so i think we need to accept that JGS will always confuse us and love him as is

Hmm... I find that JGS's character has that "I'm going for the jpop idol look" with his hair - long & slightly wavy & dyed. EEEKKK. But I guess that's in line with asian rockers. A lot of them have that kind of hairstyle. I must agree that it does tend to hide his pretty face! Besides, I'm partial to short-hair on guys.
MGY - woah - I really had to do some double takes to recognize her. I like the long hair but hmm... I don't know. I think she's looks fine... just interested in her character to see how she is.
Can't wait for this drama!!! :)

Wow, I did not know the clothing would be the big topic here. I expected that people would talk more about how MOON GEUN YOUNG GREW BACK HER LUSCIOUS LONG HAIR!!
I was heartbroken when in "Cinderella's sister" she chopped off those long flowing locks.
Im so happy she has them back!!!

1st look: My God! Their clothes!!! KJW's pants?!! *went speechless*
2nd look: Are those really JGS and MGY? In the first pic they look really different.
3rd look: Actually they look quite adorable in the 2nd pic, esp MGY. She looks cute in that hair. I still hate the clothes though.
Yayy I can't wait for this drama! Probably it will fix the withdrawal symptoms I'll get from the end of Joseon crack. Uhm.. but maybe fixing the addiction with another crack is not a good idea. Heheh, well we'll see.

Hate to add to the chorus of styling complaints but... the look they're sporting is far, far, quite possibly the furthest thing from the supposed boho-chic they were going for. In LA, the look that JGS is sporting belongs in the slightly trashy, slightly outdated hard rock scene: more Viper Room than Silver Lake/Echo Park. Think Guns N Roses rather than Devendra Banhart/indie folk.
I will add that this styling irk is just the latest in a string of photo shoots in which I see severe disconnect between the images produced and the supposed concept driving those images. It's as if the stylists are just bandying about terms that they've not the least clue about. I want Korean fashion - which has progressed so much on the design end - to be progressive on the styling end as well, rather than derivative of Western fashion iconography and lexicon. And in order to avoid being derivative, they need to prove that they know what they're talking about first, if they choose to use Western references. I'd rather that they get around it entirely and not constantly bandy about English terms and concepts as a facile mark of their cosmopolitanism.
Sigh. My rant comes from a place of love. Rant over.

I'd have to agree, unfortunately.....Someone dropped the ball on this one or let the kiddies play dress up from clothes found in the attic. My bubble of interest is dwindling.

I'd like to echo your well written sentiments. It substantially subtracts to the whole package of the drama if it is so carelessly halfhearted about borrowing a Western indie/free-spirited/hipster concept and fails miserably to convince the audience of its authenticity. It feels a bit forced and contrived. I am hoping the obvious chemistry of the cast and the strength of the script can challenge such awkward disconnections.

Why do Seoul guys look like girls these days? But I can't resist my love for those pretty pretty guys. Why are they still charming a lot? Oh can't wait. Jang Geun Suk and Moon look graceful. Never fell off my expectation.
Kim Jae Wook look just like him (not a proper and perfect guy like in the mangwa). But he is just another typical style.
The second lead actress: No comment, I don't know her and don't feel her power in the 4-guys-relationship.
Oooooooh, love love this drama right from the begining.

Guessed it is a mix and match fashion but still can't beat the japanese way of dressing in their outrageous and fashion fusion color clothes!.
