Couple stills (and more) from Poseidon
by javabeans
These two right here may be the only reason I’m keen to watch Poseidon, because individually Choi Siwon and Lee Shi-young are both pretty charismatic, and together they look downright adorable.
Their couple nickname (already they’ve got one) is Sun-Soo couple, which takes part of both characters’ names — he’s Sun-woo, she’s Soo-yoon. But it’s got the added little joke built in, since sun-soo also means player. Heh. I wonder who’ll be doing the heartbreaking here. I hope it’s her; surely the cocky hotshot could stand to be taken down a peg or two.
From the director of All In and the writer of IRIS, we can expect a fair amount of drama and action, although I really do hope there’s plenty of lighthearted beats, too — because if you’re gonna cast two beautiful stars with solid comic chops, it would be a waste not to put those skills to good use. I’m eager to see their romance play out (with lots of chemistry and skinship, please!); Siwon’s romance in Oh My Lady felt disappointingly platonic, while Lee’s characters seem to have been thwarted in love more often than not.
Below the couple shots, we have a few stills of the drama’s other lead actor, Lee Sung-jae, with the girl who plays his daughter. In the drama, he loses his wife (who was his first love) in an accident. Although he’s a doting single father, he becomes a workaholic and throws himself into his job with the police force, of which Lee Shi-young and Han Jung-soo (Prosecutor Princess) are also members.
Poseidon takes up the timeslot vacated by Myung-wol the Spy, although there’ll be a week gap between the two. Since Chuseok falls on Monday, the 12th, Poseidon will premiere the following week on September 19.

I always thought '선수" meant "athlete". But then again, I only ever notice the word when it's referenced towards athletes. XD
The stills remind me of Athena! I'm hoping that's not only because of Siwon. Hahaha.

It does. But it also means player.

Athletes play games. Players play games.
Also, athlete -> competitor/contestants -> player. They're synonyms in both English and Korean.

Now, this is looking like a lot of fun! I really hope that the dude(tte?) who wrote IRIS will not go all crazy angst and nonsense plot development on Poseidon, because I really don't want the drama to end up like IRIS. It looks like Siwon and Shi-young have really great chemistry, and they comfortable together and pretty close, so I have high hopes.
Now, I just hope that the cast and crew can get some rest and you know, maybe go home for the holiday - Siwon just tweeted a little bit ago that he's up and filming for the third day in a row without any sleep, and that worries me.

Filming 3 days in a row with no sleep is ridiculous and a big problem, but one that doesn't seem like it will be remedied any time soon. Makes me mad. Getting sick due to lack of sleep and immune systems taking a dive loses productivity, just the opposite of what they're after. Grrrrrr!

I'm looking forward to this drama, I'm just not liking the fact that Lee Shi-young is in it. I've never liked her. She's an okay actress, but just something about her grates on my nerves. I think it's because the first drama I saw her in she was incredibly whiny and I've just never been able to get past that.
Hopefully, I'll be able to stand her in this drama because I really want to watch it.

Oh god! They look amazing together... I hate to say it but it's kind of a blessing in disguise that poseidon v2.0 is airing instead of originally planned out. Because otherwise, when could i be able to watch my fave pairing ever? Lee Shi-Young was great in Playful Kiss but too bad i was already rooting for Jung So-min and Kim Hyun-joong on that one... So i didn't get to fully appreciate her. Maybe now I can get to, especially since she's paired up with the gorgeous Choi Si-won. Not too bad on the eyes, I guess...

Choi Si Won's poses in those pictures make me want to punch his cockiness. It's all about him. Lee Shi Young's totally working those pictures to create a sense of their being a couple, but he's all about him. Ugh. LSY rocks. CSW needs to go read about Narcissus.

That's coz he is supposed to play a cocky character...a player and not someone who is interested in her. And its great that he is showing all that in these pics.

Yup. It is the concept photos for the drama anyways. For Oh My Lady - he is the one looking at Chae Rim on the main poster with her looking away. I think it is just the dynamics of the relationship for now. =)

(Oh my God, in the very first picture, Siwon totally has his hand over Lee Shi-young's boob. HOLLA!!!)
Damn, Siwon. Damn. I repeat ... DAYUMN! The dimples are insane and the boy's legs go on forever, don't they?
Echoing Javabeans, I would looooove for there to be lots of skinship. If the two leads get even halfway to the crazy amounts of Skinship in MGIAG, then I will die a happy and fulfilled Lahlita. Alright, kids, fulfill me! (That sounds wrong, but whatever.)

i'll be onboard on this one no matter how much I don't want to support CSW [for the silly reason he's from SM]. but ever since the cast-change, i got excited. for the record, i was excited for Kim Kang Woo, but the other casts announced for the "initial" Poseidon dragged down my interest level. but with this one, esp with the addition of LeeShiYoung, i got so excited.

Boy - these two look super comfortable with each other - they both have devilish smiles and that (for me) makes for a potentially really good pairing when their personalities mesh.
I'm hoping that most of the scenes will take place by the shore, all the more reason for an extensive abs display from the assorted boy-candy.
With all those prior beach stills, Poseidon looks like a Korean version of the now defunct "Baywatch". I hope that this drama has a consistent edge of humor and doesn't go the Athena/IRIS route.

And for the ladies, there's even manlier beefcake in Han Jung soo (General Choi) - except what is up w/ that hair?
For me, Lee Sung jae will always be the misunderstood young male in "Attack the Gas Station!"
In a couple of those photos - isn't that actor Jung Woon-taek (the dumb one from "My Boss, My Hero" and "My Boss, My Teacher" film franchise)?
