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.

Banzai!!! \^___^/ Can't believe that Kim Bum is still handsome, keke. He's really good-looking with his hairstyle, of course.
** Don't mind to watch this drama, whooo! **

Most have negative thoughts here and I don't think they're giving out constructive criticisms. hmm..
Try to be actors and actresses, let's see if you could do great acting.
Anyways...I so love my hubby here...JWS!! waaaaaah..back 2 his ruggedly handsome look, the look that captivated me in Moments to Remember..weee..
Godspeed!

How is it that the same person can have a face that goes from 12 years old to 40 years old??? Kim Bum in the first picture is in his 20's. In the red jacket and in the yellow shirt he's in his late 30's to 40's. When he grins he's 12.
And I gulped at that newsprint shirt picture. That stare. Made every part of me stand at attention. Yes, sir, Kim Bum, sir. Whatever you want, sir.

I do not understand the obsession with Kim Bum. He does look more manly from his BOF days. I do believe with hard work, and experience ,one can improve. Picking the right role definitely helps a lot. Many A-list actors will tell you that the plot/script and character development are the first things they look at.
This drama may turn out to be interesting and the lead couple look adorable together.

It's so simple if you don't like the actor don't watch the drama. Simple.
I personally think with effort people can become great at whatever they choose to do.
Personally Kim bum is a very young actor and still relatively inexperienced. He is not goddam awful nor is he great but I think with time he could be.
I never get when people say that a certain actor just needs to find the right role. Because technically if you are an actor then you should be able to play any role regardless of whether it suits them. It's all subjective anyway- since I may think someone did well on a role while another person may think
Kim bum is seriously yummy though and am definitely looking forward to this drama
Oh lastly no-one in BOF should be judged about acting since that show was -a train wreck

Seriously, all I see is Kim Bum. Damn!
This drama looks like it could be good too. You know, unless it takes that turn into suckville so many dramas take. Crossing my fingers that doesn't happen.

When I said with effort they can improve. Of course they should already have some talent to begin with ( specially when it comes to the arts)

Facebook pages indicate that Kim Bum's height is 175 cm or about 5'9" which I think they copied from Wikipedia. However, Koreandrama.org is listing a height of 181 cm or 5'11"
Looks like there was a 2 inch growth spurt.
Kim Bum's best talent isn't his looks it is that his characters always have this sense that there is a lot of enjoyment in life even when life isn't good. It isn't just angst.
Even if he doesn't grow to be lead material, he could become a new 2nd lead to break our hearts. :)
Thank you JB & GF, I've been lurking for about a year and really appreciate your explanations of a fabulous culture. Kamsahamnida from a adjuma

he's not 181 cm whatsoever, I've seen him with my own eyes when he held a fanmeeting here in my country. I think he's about 176-178 cm tall.

Jang Geun Suk, I hope you take this thread as your cue to ask Kim Bum for pointers on how to style your long mane. 'Cause he's doin' it right (and our gushing confirms it).
On another note, looks like Han Ji Min's aged since I saw her last. But she's aging quite nicely.

Sorry but actors like Kim Bum, Jang Geun Suk and Jung Il Woo are just commodities being marketed for their beauty but talent none!
Actors on the same league like Lee Min Ho, Yoon Shi Yoon, Hyun Bin really are actors for having talent! Baeksang and network acting nominations are clean proof that their acting is being recognized by the credible people in the industry and not fangirls!

Agree with this. KB might be easy on the eyes. But acting wise, he needs to improve his acting skill. I wasn't convinced with his acting in TWWSWTM either. His smile seems like a bit phony if I may add.
But in EoE I must agree, he's shine in that drama.

flaming anyone?! Though we got non-believers around, we still need to show decency and respect to each other.
On the other side, i think kim bum looks great nowadays. but not in all camera angles. Check out photo in yellow shirt. He looks sad and sickly to me. I wish he could gain back some pinchable cheeks.For some reason, i wanna cut his hair short for more manly appeal. Heh!

Is it just me or does Kim Bum look like that guy from Inception? Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Not complaining, for some reason he looking way better than he did in the past.

Kim Bum is be-still-my-heart-gorgeous, but I believe he sacrificed a few pounds to get those cheekbones. Noona says to eat more protein and just a little more heart healthy fat. You can keep the cheekbones if you also do a little weight-training. That said I still saved most of your pics :)

Finally! Shots where (to me at least) Bummie looks like a grown-up and not a teenager going through his awkward I'm-too-tall-for-my-body phase. I just knew they had to exist. Thank you, JB! You've re-made me a believer ;)

There's a lot of fangirl responses against negative comments of their favorite actor. I respect all constructive opinions. I've never seen Kim Bum in anything so I will save my opinion for later. I'm looking forward to watching JWS.

I've seen Kim Bum in BOF and some of him from TWWSWTM (but, I didn't finish it...) but, I never really payed attention to him. I like that this drama doesn't stick him into a "pretty boy" role because even though he was pretty (I'm glad he's more mature looking and handsome now) those roles didn't seem to suit him imo.
I'm gonna seriously pay attention to him in this. I also like the idea of him as a street smart, ex-criminal, guardian angel type. Looks like he suits more serious roles more.
