Scenes from Padam Padam’s recent shoots
by javabeans
Lots and lots of new stills are trickling out from the production of Padam Padam…The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats, aka the cable drama from lauded writer Noh Hee-kyung and featuring a high-profile main cast. And while Jung Woo-sung (Athena) and Han Ji-min (Cain and Abel) are the drama’s two headliners, it’s Kim Bum I’m staring at. Or rather, his newly grown-out mane of glory. That’s it: He should never cut his hair again. Rawr.
I love that his character, Kook-soo (who names their kid Noodles, seriously?) looks rakish and mischievous, but is described as guardian angel. Jung Woo-sung’s character Kang-chil may be half a generation older, but it appears Kook-soo’s got the street smarts. Kang-chil gets sent to the slammer on false murder charges, spending 16 years locked up, and it’s there that Kook-soo watches his back: “If it’s to help Kang-chil, Kook-soo will do whatever it takes to solve the problem.” All together now: Awww.
It’s Han Ji-min’s character who’s the selfish one of this main trio, which is a nice change for once, since it’s usually the heroine who’s guileless and winsome while the hero’s the immature/prickly/cold-hearted jerk. And given that description, I find it amusing that she’s the one posing with Bambi below. Ha.
I enjoy seeing another familiar face among the cast in drama veteran Na Mun-hee playing Jung Woo-sung’s mother. In these stills, she gets into a little tussle with one of the other ajummas when a disagreement escalates, and it’s Kang-chil who pulls them apart. Don’t mess with tough granny.
Padam Padam premieres on jTBC on December 5.

Don't you think it's a bit unfair for you to say this? Just because Kim Bum is in this drama doesn't mean it will suck.
And, the no talent thingy? Most boys here in Kdramaland seemed to have no talents when they began acting...so I suggest you give him a chance here. :)

I've noticed that a double standard that appears in the k-drama watching community where female actors tend to be scrutinized much more harshly than male actors.
I guess since the majority of the international viewers who frequent sites like Dramabeans are female, male actors are judged more leniently.
I mean, just name me a male actor that's been put under as much fire and intense criticism as Lee Da-hae, Gu Hye-sun, and Han Ye-seul to name a few.
It's sad, but true.

@tegami TRUE THAT.
Jealous female fans are that scary. I agree with your statement regarding harsh critics those poor female actresses received for bad acting/attitude whatsoever Sometimes I feel it's really not fair to them.
Let's see if those 3 buddies (LMH, KB, JIW) were caught in same predicament like Lee Da-hae, GHS or HYS I bet all those female fans would stand up for them. See the difference? It's sad but it's true.

Ditto that a million time! I was actually a bit shocked when I realized how much emotions he could conveyed with just his eyes, like the time when they decided to date for 10 days, you can clearly see the sadness & anger and disappointment. That was such an under-appreciated drama!

Although SSH had better moments in My Princess because he wasn't required to do heavy drama.
I have far bigger faith in Kim Beom's acting than many other Korean celebs like Kim Hyun Joong, Chang Min, Taecyeon (I'm enumerating boyband boys...). He did well in EoEden & TheWWSWTMarry.
Just a thought... if Kim Beom's acting is zero, and he outshone SSH, then SSH has negative talent? :P

Hot dang he's looking fine. It's like he changed from baby to sexy man overnight. Swoon.
I'm not an expert, but I've always thought Kim Bum was a pretty convincing actor. I mean, some of his roles in the past weren't his best since he just wasn't suited to the role (read: BOF) but still, at least in the others I've watched like The Woman who still wants to Marry, I was pretty convinced. I don't think he's brimming over with talent, but he's not bad either.
And I promise I don't say that cos he looks so mighty fine here.

Obviously, Kim Bum has a very hard time getting a role, its more than a year he does not have any project, movie or drama. It's good that this was offered to him, grab it even though it is general service. It's better than nothing!

Kim Bum can push it like Jung Il Woo, who at the most can be a matinee idol or fangirlie idol, but not someone who can pull up to the different next level of acting like what Lee Min Ho, Yoon Si Yoon, Hyun Bin, Yoo Ah In who are all critics darling. As an actor, it's still fulfilling to excel professionally, cause fanmania is not forever!!! Fan Girls will grow up and will feel weird later on how they behaved. The same logic when we think of American and European boybands now, where are they? That's why it's good if an actor can shift professionally like Kwon Sang Woo and Gong Yoo also...

Me thinks your list is a tad bit wonky yeah?
Why is LMH (bless his gorgeous body...and soul) being compared to Hyun Bin? Critics may rave about LMH's performance in ONE drama but that's just it, one drama. The most important thing, I should think, is consistency. Not to sound offensive but look at Yoon Eun Hye; she had incredibly success w/ Coffee Prince and then it's been two shmuck dramas since then. Honestly, LMH's career will probably be based on what he does next. He needs to follow up w/ another home run drama (or two) to really cinch his place in "rave review" land.
Besides, Kim Bum's just starting out. He's new and fresh; with more experience, he has the potential to be up there with the Gong Yoos, Won Bins and Hyun bins. Cut the kid some slack yeah?

Actually you don't give Jung Il Woo enough credit. He is far from a matinee idol , his performance in 49 days is enough to prove that. He has been able to act out various type of roles with equal ability and screen presence .

I think it is unfair to say a person has no talent when they havent even had that much time to learn and experience stuff.
and personally, in this case, talent or not who cares. they can just have him sit like a porcelain doll and not say a word, he´d still be the only thing people have eyes for. I dont care if he is a speechless eye candy for the rest of his life. I think he should be on the screen ALL THE TIME, 24/7 to look and swoon.

Talent is innate. You can't do anything to it, as it can neither increase nor decrease. You can improve technique and delivery through effort, but talent? You either have it, or not. Who said experience is not a big factor? Was just objecting to the following oxymoron: "I think it is unfair to say a person has no talent when they havent even had that much time to learn and experience stuff."
Talent =/ improvement matured after effort

Kim Bum is THE reason I plan to watch this drama. I've only seen him in 2 shows but I think his acting is just fine. I'll admit that in BOF he was overshadowed by Lee Min Ho and that his role didn't exactly fit him, but I also thought he was fantastic in TWWSWTM. I'm now a (42-yr old) fangirl and proud of it!! :D
I'll throw in my vote as well for him to keep the long hair. My inner 80's hair band fangirl never died, cause I luuuuv me a guy in long hair. Wait, you mean there are other facets to saeguks than manes of glory???
His face has definitely slimmed up, which makes me sad but makes me giddy same time.

Whoa, Kim Bum looks so different! And so much taller. Is he taller, or just thinner? *tilts head*
And I have to say, I really like how clean and kempt his hair is. ;)

I see that! I was wondering who he reminded me of. It's only with the hair and thinner cheeks though. Talk about watching a boy grow up :)

Boy! That was a rude, harsh comment.
Every actor/actress has to start somewhere.Before KB was cute in BOF; but now, WOW, he's gorgeous! Love guys with long, well kept (washed) hair.
Everyone is commenting on his talent, but I think he's has improved a lot. He's learning and improving with each role he has taken. He just hasn't had the breakout role like some other young actors like Lee Min Ho ,Yoon Shi Yoon or Yoo Ah In. I thought he was better in his role in TWWSWTM than in BOF too.
I would love to see him in a role that would elevate him to the leading man status role. Maybe Padam, Padam will do it? I hope so, he deserves a break.

Bummie has finally grown into his "man" body and OMG, did he turn out great!
Let's hope that this will be the break-out role for him. He deserves it!

Guess what I just found?! Jung Il-woo updated his me2day (Korean twitter) and posted a photo of him and Bummie! They're so cute and hot at the same time...
And...awww, totally love their bromance!

Man, after reading all your comment most of you all are on the bandwagon of anti-this, anti-that about Kim Bum. Maybe Kim Bum learn a thing or two to improve his acting skills from the A-lister Jung Woo-sung every day while on the set. You need to watch Padam Padam when it is release in December 2011. Then you can dedicated your time to criticize about Kim Bum's acting skills.
You commentators are so bad nit-pickers.

This drama looks great. I have high hopes for it. And yes, KWS is hot,but it's the long locks of Kim Bum that I'm digging a lot. The pulled back hair suits him really well. Oh dear. Not gonna be a good sign for the rest of us with ICOMYM.
And another round of cheer for cable! It's cable's year this year! YEAH! What's Up premieres December 3 on MBN.
I hope Santa is listening.
Dear Santa, can you please let these 2 lovely ladies here recap this long-awaited much anticipated drama of mine? Since the hopes of it being subbed is minimal to non - existent. Give them graciousness to shower us with their wit and words as they share the recap to us for this drama on its premiere. Give them enlightenment that this drama needs much much love it truly deserves and that the way is through wonderful writing. I hope you grant my christmas wish Santa.
(I'm talking to Santa, how come I sound like I'm in front of the Holy One)

I gotta say I've found Kim Bum so smarmy in his previous roles that I was unable to judge his acting. He was the reason I couldn't finish TWWSWTM. But he looks so good now! Maybe it's the hair. Even his smile is less greasy.
This looks so good. For once, an original storyline with a good writer AND talented, veteran actors as leads. All we need now is chemistry. :)

Kim Bum has always been a bit too young/boyish looking for my tastes, but the long hair definitely adds some maturity and ruggedness to his appearance...so I will admit that now I'm starting to see his appeal.

again on the talent vs experience matter;
the opportune moments, proper guidance, analyzing your experiences, moving on from a buildt platform, comparing, watching others, sharing ideas, discussions, etc thats what makes the talent WORK. if someone isnt even given a chance to build something up then there can be no judgements made. some people take longer to find their path and make their talent shine.
and that´s not a lack of passion and depth in those eyes. I would be much more doubtful of talent if a person is all appearance, always attempting to stand out and putting on a show. that would be shallow and make me think it is done to hide the lack of soul. But being more modest, not freaking out when the great break-through doesnt come in a split second... and a deep, thoughtful glance ...i think there is something there that will eventually come out BIG. 22 yo - cmon, the personality is still growing. thats SO young.

I love Kim Bum's new look, his glorious mane of glory AND the character description. That character is the reason why I want to watch this drama. Plus the bromance (BROMANCE!). I have never seen Kim Bum in another drama, I only watched scenes of BBF, this will be my first time :).

So, am I the only person who's anticipating this drama because of Han Ji Min and Jung Woo Sung?
And honestly, I think Kim Bum is a better actor than Lee Min Ho (almost forgot his name). Kim Bum is not the best, but he's fairly decent and I wouldn't mind watching his drama/movies. As for Lee Min Ho, I think the only thing that is keeping his fame is his looks. I've ask people why they like LMH, and they all reply: "He's hot". And when I mention about his acting, they respond: "Oh, it's okay." (See, actors like him pissed me off. There's alot of better actors than him but are not credited b/c of their looks. Darn the entertainment. Looks>Talents when it should be Talents>Looks)....As for Kim Bum, hiss acting isn't that great but it's not that bad. I admit that his looks is a big factor to his fame but his acting is somewhat good and believable. If he improves, he'll be a top-notch actor.

The line's getting too long for Kim Bum so I'll be the first to line-up for Jung Woo-sung because he's the main reason why I'm watching this show. And Noh Hee-kyung is second.
And I love Na Mun-hee.
