Lee Sang-woo and Joo Sang-wook in new drama

74 November 30, 2011November 29, 2011

by girlfriday

Oppaaaaaaaa! Okay, sorry, I just had to get that out. But can you blame me for the outburst? Lee Sang-woo is currently rocking my socks off as the bestest oppa ever in Thousand Day Promise, so I’m excited that he’s already got another project lined up. It’s a cooking drama called Feast of the Gods, set for weekend broadcast in January. He’ll be joining Joo Sang-wook (Giant), who’s currently starring in cable network OCN’s detective series TEN. Well that’s a lot of pretty to share a screen.

They’re also joined by Seo Hyun-jin from The Duo and Gu Hye-sun’s Magic, while the main role, that of leading lady and chef, is yet to be cast. The name in contention for the lead is Sung Yuri, but there have been rumors and denials left and right, so we’ll have to wait and see on that.

The drama is about two female chefs who battle in the kitchen and at love. Lee Sang-woo plays the heir to a large food corporation (of course), but the company is run by his mother, and their relationship is strained. In order to win the girl of his dreams, he takes odd jobs in the kitchen as the low man on the food chain, and eventually becomes a successful businessman.

The theme of the drama is East vs. West cuisine, which sounds like great fun. Mostly these dramas are all about the flashy mouth-watering food porn, so I’m sure they’ll do a good job with that. There’s very little information on Joo Sang-wook’s character, which is strange, given that I would normally assume that he’s the higher-billed star. If the women are the chefs, maybe he’s another member of the kitchen staff, or perhaps the restauranteur.

Behind the scenes are PD Lee Dong-yoon of Best Love and writer Jo Eun-jung (Goldfish, White Lies). Feast of the Gods premieres in January on MBC.

Drooling.....
One guy is the only reason i watched life is beautiful and the other is the only thing i remember about paradise farm ( shirt's buttons ajuhssi )...
Now to be sincere i will watch the show ONLY because it's about cuisine. I'm french so the excuse fits perfectly.

Maids/Romance Town was the drama where the writers and PD managed to waste the talents of every actor in it.

He's the second lead here, weirdly enough, and it's written in the stars Korean second leads, with the exception of PSH, NEVER get the girl. I think that's so unfair. Why can't second leads get the girl? Taiwanese dramas don't have this inevitability, so viewers get a kick trying to decide who the girl will end up with - it's so much more fun that way.

Well, Kim Soo-hyun was also kind of a second lead. Was he even in the first episode of Dream High? Maybe just for a really short time. But then they turned him into the lead somewhere along the way XD

LSW and JSW together in a drama? I guess it's time for me to answer the perennial question of how much drool I am able to produce in one hour.

This two guys + yummy food? They go straight to my hips.

But sadly, one of them can't get the girl, right?
Or is it more like an OB storyline with more than OTP?

If not that, I will take best friends and rivals so one of them has to kill the other. That would OK, too.

Best friends who kill each other has become my favorite storyline. I know I am not alone in loving these stories, otherwise there wouldn't be so darn many of them.

ergh JSW...he's so repulsive. i saw him on happy together and he couldn't have come off more arrogant. he seems like the guy who knows he is good looking and is so aware of that fact that he practically oozes jerk-ness.

buuuut what am i doing i love LSW and I can't wait for this and also yay for more food porn!

I think you should watch joo sang wook on win win episode earlier this year. It would give you a more accurate interpretation of him. He's actually been an actor for 13 years and just got his big break in Giant the past year.... he seems to be acting arrogant.. not actually being it.. if that makes sense..

basically, LSW needs to get a main-ish role soon, he's overdue....
a more pressing issue though: Do kitchen people need to strip their uniforms off? How often do they engage in food battles? Will they end up experimenting with whipped cream and hot chocolate?

Lee Sang Woo's character in TDP definitely beats out Bae Soo Bin's in BL as the Opparrific character. Note: Ockoala first coined that word "OPPARRIFIC". And Oh boy.. she was so right. ^____^

LOL at your Oppppaaa! It brings back memories of that one podcast. (Or was that Javabeans?) So cute.

This looks good, but I wish kdramas didn't come in groups like this, where we have a glut of one theme/setup all at once. After the Coffee Prince craze it was cross-dressing females in a group of hot boys. This last year or more has been so full of musical dramas that even though I love them I'm getting kind of sick of them (What's Up is an exception though - so excited!). Now it seems they're all about food - Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Bachelor Veggie Store, Fermentation Family, and now this one. It would be nice to have a little variation in the drama diet. And I don't mean ramyun AND kimchi AND vegetables (although that's a good combination).

Have you heard the song that he composed?
I found his real personality so adorable and hilarious.^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_1wxg6tIQ&feature=related
(Song starts at 1:31)

He is saying that he made this song as a tribute to little sharks that he used to keep as pets in the pond.

One day, a little sturgeon, having no teeth was bit to death by a crayfish.

Then, he composed a song, being worried about how remaining little sturgeons are going to get through against two crayfishes.

Song title:" How should sharks live / how can little sturgeons survive?"

Lyrics:
A (little) shark was bit by a crayfish.
And it died.
So, I scooped it (with a landing net).
Three little sharks, two crayfishes.
How are little sharks going to get through/live?

You can see all guests including professor Jung from Sungkyunkwan scandal are cracking up.
After listening to the song, they are talking how sad this song is~

LSW character sounds similar to the one he played in Don't Hesitate. So anyway, I will definitely be tuning into this food(!) themed drama with two awesome actors!
