Weekend drama A Thousand Kisses releases posters
by javabeans
In these posters for new weekend drama A Thousand Kisses, we’ve got the two main couple in various states of embrace, and although we don’t get much info on them otherwise, I’m drawn to how loving and earnest they seem. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that I like the actors, although I admit to being WAY more interested in the supporting pair — Kim So-eun and Ryu Jin! — than the main couple of Seo Young-hee with Ji Hyun-woo.
In the drama, Seo Young-hee (Bedevilled) and Kim So-eun (A Fine Windy Day) play sisters who grew up in straitened circumstances. As mentioned in the previous post about this show, age play is one of the points of interest with these characters, as unni then falls for someone younger than her (Birth of the Rich’s Ji Hyun-woo), while her cheery younger sister falls for someone 17 years older (Baby-Faced Beauty’s Ryu Jin).
The photo shoot concept was based on the idea of “a kiss to make your beloved’s heart race,” and the posters bear a couple taglines. Most of the posters read, “I send a thousand kisses to you, my beloved…” The last one has the words, “Love and forgiveness begins with your kiss.”
A Thousand Kisses airs on MBC on weekends, and takes up the earlier prime-time timeslot (9pm) beginning August 20, after All That Glitters wraps.

It's about time he gets one!
I can use a more refreshing drama where there is no love triangle, just family opposition due to the age difference in the couples.....

i sooooooooooo agree, i luv ryu jin since r r like you etc but he never seem to get the lead role let alone the girl in any dramas? i take it back but i think in four leaf clover old drama of his, he did get a lead & not sure if he got the girl though. he's so handsome & grt in acting but wae wae not the lead? however i look f/ward to watching this!

Well, they do look cute together, but I've got to say, the main couple definitely has great chemistry, and you can feel that there's something in the air between them. But I'm sure they'll all be great ^^

the posters are pretty! I agree with you, javabeans, they seem so loving and earnest in embracing each others.
I also like 2nd pair - Ryu Jin and Kim So Eun ( why she takes this kind of role again,btw, she also had older lover in A Fine Windy Day, right? ).
Kim So Eun, I wish she'll play brighter character in the future!

What really fascinates me is that age discrepancies are such a big deal that you can base the premise of an entire mini-series on it in Korea. Sometimes when watching a show couples seem to get all uptight when they find out: "OMG, she's my NOONA," but come to find out they're only three or four years apart. Around where I live, that's not a big deal at all. I know many couples who are eight, ten, even fifteen years apart and no one seems to think twice about it, never mind a measly three years.

yes... i realized the age issue too in kdrama... 4 to 6 is too much... and 17 years in this case is way too much... speaking for my personal experience.. my hubby is 19 years older than me.. and we get along just fine... age is really not a big deal...
I really like the posters and the 2nd lead pairing... Kim so eun is so sweet and ryu jin looks great... I watched him in baby-face beauty and I did not really love his character.. and I hope i will like it this time around...

True. Does anyone recall Family's Honor When they read Ryu Jin's part in A Thousand Kisses? In Family's Honorthe oldest brother (and first son yeesh) also falls in-love with a younger woman and has to face the consequences of such feelings. Truthfully, I love this kind of stuff because stuff like this happens all the time and the older of the pair always gets called a cradle robber. Someone mentioned how they're disgusted about the age difference, but it's funny since all that stuff matters not in the game lurve. XD

Woot! Looking forward to this, purely because of Kim So-eun. Sweet, adorable and can act.
(However, I shall never stop beating the dead horse that wonders why some PDs/writers somewhere, don't come up with a script specifically pairing her with Bummie!)

I know right? I'm still not over their BOF tandem. Like what most people have said, they still have an unfinished business! I'm sure they'll have a hotter chemistry the next time they get paired again since they've come a long way from their teenybopper roles. :) I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. Let's not lose hope, SoEulmates. ;)

Not really, if you observe their actual life daily. They're practically close friends, that's bcoz they're classmates in college. They sometimes mention each other during interviews. In one of kse's interviews last year she said she often hang out with him and go ara to some cafe in apgujeong.
So I never lose hope to this couple, even they're just merely best friends, nothing more than that. :D
nuff about my rants. back to the articles. I really love the posters. Simple but can convey the "1000 kisses" meaning.

belle
August 11, 2011 at 8:23 PM
I agree. I don't care if I'm just being delusional, but it's also possible that KSE's statement about supposedly having an awkward relationship with Kim Bum might be a protocol from her management just to let all the rumors about them being together die down. But whatever, it's all in the past. :) I'm still hoping that they'll reunite in a drama or movie someday.
Let's just all look forward to this drama (and Bummie's as well). I'm really curious as to how she'll carry out her role.

I am not superficial or anything but this was mainly the reason why I kept watching his last drama :O I think the stylist did a great job with him XD

Wonder if a k-drama with the lead woman 17 years older than her bf would ever be happen when it seems sort of ok for a much older man to like a girl twice his age in "A 1000 kisses" then. That must be double standards. Tired of characters dating/marrying a surrogate father/mother figure, however trendy that is these days.
Ji Hyun Woo? Yummy.

Only wanted to watch this for Kim So Eun but now I actually want to watch the drama as a whole, the pictures are gorgeous and to me they exude romance. I like the concept of both pairings and am curious as to what obstacles the couples will face because lets be honest here if a male is older than their partner in society for one reason or another it seems to be acceptable but yet if a female is older than her partner people give her the evil-eye. Personally I think people are jealous/envious that a woman could get a younger partner but that is just me lol.
I'm curious as to where this drama will go ^^

August 12, 2011 at 12:28 AM
I don't think it's not because of the jealousy, it's more like defying the societal standards.
Here in my neighborhood, if a woman is having a relationship with much younger guy, the society will judge them as sinners. And usually most of that kind of relationships are not based on love, the younger guys pursue the older women mainly because they can give the guys more than just emotional and physical aspects but they also pursue the financial aspect.
that's how they judge it in my country, but I don't think it's the same as they judge it in free countries such as USA.

i must admit i think the lead actor is good too & cute seeing him in a couple of dramas such as golden apple & birth of the rich? but i wished that ryu jin were on the lead categ. it's high time he gets the lead role! i think it's just fair since he's in the biz for a while & had shown his potential in acting as a lead actor! even in baby faced beauty he was only 2nd pair! sigh sigh
