Meet the Bachelors of the Veggie Store

135 November 29, 2011December 14, 2011

by javabeans

I thought we’d only have one bachelor in upcoming drama Bachelor’s Vegetable Store — played by Ji Chang-wook — but we get SIX? The more, the merrier. Bring on the pretty!

They are, in order of the photo below:

Ji Chang-wook, our hero (Warrior Baek Dong-soo);

Kim Young-kwang (White Christmas);

Lee Kwang-soo (City Hunter);

pop singer Ji-hyuk from six-member boy band Supernova;

new face and model Sung Ha;

and musical actor Shin Won-ho, who I swear could be a dead ringer for Ji Chang-wook himself.

Of those other five supporting bachelors, budding actor Kim Young-kwang has the biggest role, with actor/variety performer Lee Kwang-soo close behind. Both have a slightly offbeat charm; 24-year-old Kim Young-kwang (who had bit parts in My Fair Lady, Triple and The World They Live In) reminds me a bit of Lee Min-ki with his brand of gangly hotness. Kim will play the son of a wealthy family who teams up with Ji Chang-wook and comes to work at the shop, and enjoys a particularly close relationship with his single mother.

Lee Kwang-soo, you may recall, had a comic relief role in City Hunter as the geeky tech guy, although he may be better known these days for his participation in variety show Running Man.

Of the newbies, Sung Ha recently attracted quite a lot of attention after starring with Shin Mina in a CF-slash-music-video for HERA cosmetics, in which he alternately helps and stalks her, only to have her return the favor. After the video released, he shot to No. 1 in search engine queries.

And those of you watching Flower Boy Ramyun Shop may recognize Shin Won-ho — not from the show itself, but from that Skin Food Black Sugar CF that usually plays in the beginning commercial break. (Yet another reason not to skip ’em.)

The producers are pushing the moniker VF 6 DoLL as the nickname for the sextet, which… I think is lame given that it doesn’t roll off the tongue. Or, you know, make immediate sense. I’m sure the netizens can come up with a better name, and one that’s organic to the show. But nomenclature aside, the drama will follow the six young healthy men with strong personalities who work hard and fall in love.

But we need some ladies up in this hizzy, which brings us to Wang Ji-hye (Protect the Boss) and Park Su-jin (My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho).

Wang Ji-hye will play the main love interest for Ji Chang-wook, and I’m glad for that since I like her a LOT better than former pop singer Park Su-jin, who is a limited actress at best. It doesn’t help that she’s played hateable characters, like Kim Bum’s blah ex-girlfriend in Boys Before Flowers and Lee Seung-gi’s scheming noona-crush in My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho.

Park Su-jin is being paired off with Kim Young-kwang, and like his character, she has also grown up privileged and unchallenged by difficulty. She’ll have some complications with the main hero, though, just as I suspect that Wang Ji-hye will probably have some love rivals as well. You just can’t cast that many hot young things, put them all to work in the same small store, and not tangle everybody up in youthful romance and angst.

The drama is based on the true story of a young man who built up a large franchise from a single tiny vegetable shop in 1998, who is now 40 years old and the CEO of a company with 33 stores throughout South Korea.

Bachelor’s Vegetable Store will be a cable drama broadcasting on Channel A. It’ll air on Wednesdays and Thursdays, beginning on December 21.

Sung Ha looks almost too perfect *_* I don't know why, but I can't seem to get emotionally attached to people that are perfectly beautiful. They are lovely to stare at and mesmerize about, but they just don't seem very human to me, lol.

SHIN WON HO on the other hand, <333!!!! ZOMG!!! He was simply TOO cute in those skin food black sugar facial scrub cf's~~ I hope that's his real voice, and not a voice over, because the voice was also ADORBS *squee!!!* The voice really reminded me of ZE:A's Dongjoon, whom I LOVE. I envy people in Korea that can watch commercials with such hotties on a daily basis. I'd be clamoring to watch more commercials if Shin Won Ho were in them, hehehe. He's not jailbait for me, on the contrary, he's an oppa. But I too can be classified as a pedonoona ever since Boyfriend and Teen Top debuted~~ they just seem to be getting younger and younger ^^

So to make this perfect, let's have a cameo by YSH/Una (who still lives) as an old rival who used to compete with JCW in fencing.

November 29, 2011 at 6:17 AM

OMG! I was thinking about the same thing! well... not the fencing bit, but the old rival one. Did we discuss this before on an other thread? Can't remember.

I just realized that "pretty" is not lacking in korea. When You're beautiful got over I remember thinking, "What do I do till the next JGS drama"... then SKKS came on and I go, "What do I do till the next YAI and SJK drama"... and then WBDS came on and I go, "What do I do till the next JCW and YSH drama"...

And now I get not 1 but 6 pretty faces. And If YSH comes as a cameo that will be 6 pretty faces and one gorgeous beauty. (Yes.... I'm partial to those soft features.)

Korea is so nice to me :)

Yes. I truly admire the man. I agree that most of his assets are God given. He has put some work into maintaining those assets, but still... not everyone would be able to achieve what he has.

And he must have had good friends to help him along the way. You know, with the vegetable oil and stuff.

I'll watch this for Kim Young Kwang. I'm curious about what projects and roles the White Christmas cast members choose to take.

I'm just breathing a sigh of relief that these Hot Young Boys were all finally decided upon -- I mean, how many dramas go into their first weeks of shooting with only 1/5th of their characters cast or no press conference, hm? And the first time I saw the teaser pics of Shin Won Ho, I immediately thought "Oh no no no! They brought in Song Joong Ki as one of the Bachelors?!?" Wonho-sshi definitely has some of Joong Ki's resemblance in his eyes. Sigh.

With all that musical theatre talent in one spot, I'm praying for some singing and dancing in this series (or at least some awesome NGs that make their way to YouTube or Daum TV). Do these hotties really *need* a nickname? How about "V6 Bachelor Juice: Your Daily Dose of Pretty Vitamins in One Glass!" Naw, that's too long... hmmm... I'll have to give that some thought while staring at that picture for the next 12 hours or so. :)

Sucks that it's too cold on the outdoors filming set, but hopefully that means the Brooding Shower Scenes™ will have to be moved indoors instead. But yes... all this pretty on the screen at one time is probably going to make my eyeballs explode. Over and over and over and over.... ::looks into opthamologist insurance coverage::

“V6 Bachelor Juice: Your Daily Dose of Pretty Vitamins in One Glass!” lol!

Just V6 should do. Do they get that in korea? But V6 tastes horrible.

"Sucks that it’s too cold on the outdoors filming set, but hopefully that means the Brooding Shower Scenes™ will have to be moved indoors instead."

How sad! That means we won't get to see JCW working in the garden? and "he’s [not] going to float slow-mo over to a barrel of cold water next to the garden " ?

Wasn't that the whole point of the show?

@YY we need another storyline. Yours is not feasible in current weather conditions.

Yeah, but V8 (especially the Spicy version) is hella awesome in Bloody Mary drinks. Yum!!

There's hope for us yet!! According to someone's Naver blog this morning, there was a bit of a 'heat wave' (19º C is a heat wave?) last week in the Seoul area, and some outdoor scenes were filmed with shirtless Bachelors. No pictures were attached, and this person didn't state *who* exactly was shirtless, though. Um... fdsaklfjaklsdfdaaaaaaaaahhhl!!!

BUT I WANT PICTURES, DAMMIT!!! A basic tenet of law is that photographic evidence is necessary to confirm facts. I volunteer to further research this issue, and will not sleep or eat until some sort of pictorial (either static or videographic) shows our Bachelors in slow-mo, while a halo of light in the background accentuates their rippling muscles, and a cascade of water runs slowly down their rock-hard abs…

... until they get too cold being outdoors and then need to move indoors to their respective showers (or a locker room; I'm not picky) in slow-mo, while a halo of light from the ceiling above accentuates their rippling muscles, and a cascade of water runs slowly down their rock-hard abs…

So what if it's too cold to plant veggies outside? They can always plant veggies INSIDE! You know, build a hothouse next to the shower. That way they can swagger sweatily and absily from hothouse to shower to hothouse to shower every ep. As they pass each other (cos some will be on the way TO the hothouse, some will be on the way OUT of the hothouse, they'll high-five each other absily and grunt, in cool Engrish: "WHAT'S UP, YO", cos they're young and hip and cool and speaker Engrish.

Those high glass walls would be really good for creating that halo of light effect that cherkell's so obsessed with. Oh, and they can plonk a big tub of hot veggie oil right outside the shower room/rooms (can't decide yet whether I want to see absy guys showering alone or together; my mind goes fuzzy just thinking about it, so I have to start thinking all over again, then it goes fuzzy again). That big tub of veggie oil will auto-replenish so it's always like full (don't ask me how) and bubbling. For those of you who're worried the hot veggie oil will burn those silky skins, rest assured Jomo says it won't cos....cos....cos Jomo says it won't!

They won't need clothes since it's indoors, so they can walk around in their natural states, and if they feel cold, they can just leap slow-mo into the hot veggie oil, or take a hot shower, or go inside the hothouse and turn the heat on high....oh dang, that'd kill the veggies....

@YY!! She shoots.. she SCORES!! We need to make sure the tub of auto-replenishing veggie oil is like one of those automatic pet watering systems I see on the late-night informercials. No muss; no fuss! And also make sure it's a monounsaturated veggie oil in that tank... we don't want our 6Packs getting heart disease in their later years. :)

Please dear drama producers, you haven't yet made a drama about four pretty boys who decide to do stripteases because they don't have enough money to survive. There's even a movie about that, you only need to copy it and add some abs in the middle and I'll be grateful forever!

(Why is it that they're always even?

Dear Santa, for Christmas i want a funny drama about door to door flower salesmen. They would be cast by Dramabean registered members only (join you email please). Anything welcome : vacuum cleaner, wine, carpets, underwear, tupperware, baby rabbits, anything...
One condition : entertaining, clever, funny and sexy demonstrations.. Production Teams should consider this, they would do a lot of money and wouldn't even be criticised about product placement. And happy fangirls all over the world : It's a win/win contract. To quote the main male character of Me To Flower : I SELL HAPPINESS. Now understand that the way you want :)

Nu-uh. I'm gonna call 'em "6PACK" - (minus 1, cause Kwang Soo? C'mon - he's funny, but HOT? No.)

I'm definitely watching this one. And most likely re-watching certain scenes, ad nauseum. While smiling.

*DINGDINGDING* And we have a winner!! Cynthia, you get first pick of calling one of the Bachelors "MINE" for the duration of the Show. With the exception of grabbing JCW, because that's *my* job...

I kinda think Kwangsoo-sshi is hot-ish, in a nerdy/goofy way. Who knows -- he may surprise us all with his own 'crate of vegetables,' if ya catch my drift. :)

I claimed middle top boy wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there. I don't know who he is. But at this point in the thread I've got both hands tied behind my back while he showers in the locker room with all the other pretty...so his name pretty much doesn't matter.

Please be good to me. Please be good to me. Please be good to me.

How freaking adorable!!! I think part of his problem is his freaking haircut. If they gave him a cuter/hotter haircut that fits his adorkableness it would be great. Yay RM's resident Incriminator! Kwangvatar fighting~

What a great name! 6 pack and veggies acting together in one drama! This is going to be awesome! I really feel those actresses are unnecessary. Six absy guys planting veggies together is a great, great plot. In fact, I'd call it THE best plot of the year.

I'm about to get a new job. I want to become an Organic Farmer. My farm will be side by side with the veggie shop, and i don't know why but i think my back is getting fragile already. Really need help from muscled oiled neighbors.
Searching for roommates to share bills and landscape at the window. warning : only 1 shower, installed in the middle of the bedroom. ( If you ask why, i've just rewatched the great taiwanese drama Mars and then i remember the so many advantages of open spaces... ) :)

I dunno about you guys but totally watching this for Lee Kwang Soo.
Ever since his CF days and his small explosion of comedy on Star Golden Bell (and then Running Man), I've loved this guy. If he does one of these
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV99NcF7v9k&feature=related) while doing a veggie run, I'll love him even more!
Mania fans ftw!

Though, having all of the pretty makes me happy too!

Okay, on first glance (and even preceding STARES) me and my sleep-deprived mind saw Kim Bum in the first pic; Lee Sun Gyun in the third; Jo In Sung in the fourth; and Song Joong Ki in the sixth. Wow, for a second there I thought I'd won some kind of crazy lottery!!

On another note, I really do not like Park Su Jin. It's not her fault, really. It's just that she's been annoying in everything I've seen her in. Actually, I guess she wasn't terrible in her tiny role in Queen Seon Deok.

Heh. I just got home from another stupid day of dealing with stupid lawyers in our stupid trial, and had an intuition that I should check in on this thread... y'all must have been talking about me, since my ears were burning all day! :)

Yah, I thought for sure me and my fellow Sisters-in-Lust (Kristal, where ya hiding, sweetie?) made it quite loudly known that our love for the 15th Wonder of the World That Is Ji Chang Wook was evident well-before and well-after WDBS wrapped. And I have a feeling that there's going to be more excessive drooling here after the Veggie Boys make their well-lighted, oiled-down, perfectly-chiseled chocolate-absily appearances. Stay tuned...

But thanks for remembering that he's MINE. I learned some great sword-swinging techniques while watching WDBS, and I hope I don't ever ever ever have to use them on any of my chingus... :)

Fellow Vegetarians, REJOICE IN THE WONDER THAT IS THE 6-PACK!!

LIKE I'M COMPLAINING. ::swoon:: (I'll be posting more shots on my Tumblr, so stay tuned!) Looks like this is gonna be one crazy drama, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! ::doubleswoon::
