Jung Woo-sung and Han Ji-min in Padam Padam

44 October 4, 2011November 2, 2011

by girlfriday

Here’s our first look at Jung Woo-sung and Han Ji-min as a couple in the upcoming cable drama Padam Padam…The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats. They look pretty adorable on their date together. Almost as adorable as his date with Kim Bum. Almost. I have a feeling that if I watch this drama, it’s going to be for the bromance more than the romance.

Jung Woo-sung plays Yang Kang-chil, a man who served a 16-year prison sentence for a murder he didn’t commit. He looks surprisingly happy for someone who spent his best years incarcerated on a false charge. Where’s the Count of Monte Cristo revenge plot? Perhaps the sweet goofy act is just a cover for his sinister revenge? Or is it just his hair that’s goofy?

Han Ji-min plays Jung Ji-na, who is only described as very pragmatic and selfish, which is a personality type, sure, but that tells me nothing about her, really. Kim Bum plays the most interesting character — a guardian angel named Gook-soo, who is Kang-chil’s buddy both in and out of jail. He plays a big part in the fate of the two lovers, which means he’s either a cupid or a noona-killer. Bets on which way it’ll go?

Padam Padam premieres December 5 on cable network jTBC.

no it really is that bad...I actually cannot imagine Han Ji-min being selfish or even the slightest bitchy (as i assume they mean by her description) so will watch to see how she has transformed. I hope to goodness She's lovingly bad.

i meant the hair was that bad. I used to have the hots for him, but it seems only Gong Yoo can pull this look off without sending me into hysterical convulsions.

yes, she's basically made them stars...they weren't so popular before they coupled with her

So Ji-sub was already pretty famous- i remember the scandal about them dating, which in a few days became marriage. Hella awkward.

Guardian angel in a literal sense or metaphorical sense? How would Kim Bum ever have survived in prison? o_o

I think it's more on a metaphorical sense. Maybe like a voice of reason or something. Not really sure though.

Since this is Noh Hee Kyung and I have yet to see a traditional (in kdrama sense) 2nd lead in any of her dramas that i've see, i'm gonna guess that Bummie may be playing Cupid

In Athena, I found him more charming being the dork with his fantasies and crush on Soo-Ae in the beginning. After the drama focused on him as a spy, it kinda went meh. I actually want him to be someone serious from past pains, but to have an inner innocence from within.

He may look happy, but he probably hasn't seen a woman for 16 years. Or been on a date. Or had se---- um, err...

ANYWAYS, everyone looks so pretty and I find the plot interesting. I hope the story is about a *normal* guy trying to fit in and adapt to the present, rather then a revenge plot or some sort. Like getting in an accident or assassination plot and having 30 days of life left to live to get his revenge. I want *normal* people in *normal* circumstances.

LOL! I think it's fair to say poor guy's been DEPRIVED. I really doubt it's going to be normal though; it's a kor drama and they like to make their characters all dark and broody and twisty...remember Cain and Abel? I remember that heartwrenching "Shawshank Redemption" which is also about spending time for a crime you didn't commit; one of the characters, Brooks, who has spent his entire lifetime in prison, gets out, tries to adapt, can't, and hangs himself....so sad.....

Hey, doesn't he have a guardian angel? Shouldn't the angel also do a little magic like a genie?

And Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever!

agree... Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever.

I still watch it atleast once or twice a year.

I watch The Count of Monte Cristo every year as well. I love Shawshank more though.

I hope this drama is good though, since I plan to watch any drama that has Kim Bum in it

I am oh so excited for this drama. Han Ji Min is one my most adored Kactresses and Jung Woo Sung is just a handsome fellow. Plus Kim Bum? December please hurry up and come. Padam Padam is a must see for me. Hopefully things will turn out good.

well, they look good together though. But I assume this little "Gook Soo" will only play as a cupid/protector, you name it, for them both or that's what I heard from the news (based on what Kim Bum said in an article)
when I see the pictures I kinda want Jung Woosung to move on and find a new love IRL, he and Han Ji Min really look good together. I'm hoping that HJM & So Ji Sub dating is just only a rumor... Jung woosung you deserve to find your new happiness. I sound cheesy. bleh.

October 4, 2011 at 8:17 PM

since this is a Noh Hee-kyung's drama, chances are it's abt a person dealing with what life throws at him. So it'll be a 'normal' drama.

Hmmm, In-soon spent time in jail fr murder as well right? Only she end up as instant celebrity tho it sounds bizzare tho some find it weird but i can see it happen in RL

He could be both Cupid and noona-killer. Like, she could have a crush on him, while he redirects her to Jung Woo-sung?

anyway, all i can think seeing these photos is - why can't the weather here be as nice as that??? *weeps* *coughs* *sneezes* *sniffs*

Wow, First Jung Il Woo as Angel of Death .. mmhh scheduler as his says, and now Kim Bum is a guardian angel. They are best friend, right?

And if we include Lee Min Ho in their friendship circle, could we hope that Lee Min Ho next role is also an angel?

Wow. To spend 16 years in jail for a crime you didn't commit. What can a guy do to pass all that time? BUILD UP HIS ABS, OF COURSE!!!!

JWS is usually hit or miss with me (but my love for A Moment to Remember is so big that I automatically am interested in his projects) but Han Ji Min... I don't know...

I hope that they'll have good chemistry (with JWS you cannot be sure of good chemistry)

my favorite Han Ji Min - a big fan since " Cain and Able " , she's a great actress and a looks that 's so girl-next-door lovable . Looking forward to it - i'm sure Jung is looking forward to working again with an sweet-low profile/low-maintenance after the mess w/his co-star in Athena

I'm going to put in a shout out for body possession, cause how great would that be? Two guys with the same body (even if one is just temporary) duking it out for her. Not to mention sinister possabilities.
