girlfriday: Okay, we’re stopping now.

Right there with you. Not sure if these posters scream "Everyman's Regular Day at Work", but I'll give it a shot, if only for Hong Soo Hyun, who looks FIERCE.

I agree, Honh Soo-hyun looks awesome, and I love her ^^
But...I don't know. It seems like a mess XD It's a little scary. What's with all the war allusions? It looks like a city after it's been bombed. Or a city where anarchy has taken over or something.

LOL. I feel like I would get it if it wasn't for Jung Ryeo-won. Like, somehow they're all soldiers in the rough corporate war, fighting to survive, or they're the resistance or something. But, with her thrown in, I just get confused :/

LOL/ I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts.
But I agree with mellowyel. This must be some kind of fantasy about how are they fighting in a corporate war, smth like this. I saw a pictute of Jung Kyeo-Woon where he was in a gim and boxing/training and it didnt look like WTF whats going on. Anyway I have a faith in a production team and at least it certainly looks like fun

Imagining myself talking with an extra on the set :

- IDK.
- Where's the director ?
- IDK.
- Got a script ?
- IFDK !
- OK : Let's improvise.
My fav pic : The girl with both guns crossed on her chest singing : one for the belly, two for the shoulder ( cover for Elvis Presley one for the money, two for the show - Blue Suede shoes ).

WTF!!! I so can not believe the brains from Giant come with this concept.. Hrmmm... I think this should be a musical like from West Side Story with the singing and dancing... Ohhh... they should have the Devil Daddy from Giant be the villian for the twenty episodes of this drama... Oh make it even better is the Devil Daddy of Giant go singing and dancing in this drama too and of course have them singing and dancing in a HOT Shower Scenes...... LOL... XD

December 2, 2011 at 4:21 PM
Didn't know the High Kick thing and perhaps that plays on something else, but 'hakuna matata' is The Lion King of course... and I sort took the whole "Shala pompai hakuna matata polei polei" as some sort of Bollywood reference? Whether that is what JB and GF intended, I don't know but the picture would certainly fit some Bollywood dancin'....

I must say the posters gave no clue as to what the drama is about, but at least it piques your interest well enough that you want to watch it just to find out what the connection is between the seriously nutty promo posters and the dramas storyline.
