Wild Romance releases posters

So these are cute: Wild Romance has released its first posters featuring its two leads, Lee Dong-wook and Lee Shi-young. He’s a dumb jock baseball player, she’s the even dumber bodyguard assigned to protect him… from a rabid anti-fan. Hee.

A few more details: He’s the cocky problem child of his pro baseball team, despite Oh Man-seok’s attempts to be the guiding hyung/sunbae on the team. She’s a former judo athlete and goes into the job already itching to unleash her hot temper on the arrogant bastard, and Dumb and Dumber fall in love.

I’ll be honest; I’m a sucker for the bickering romance, so this is right up my alley. The trouble is, it’s pretty hard to hit that sweet spot between cute bickering (say, Samsoon) and tiresome yelling (Full House), but when it’s done right it has me in stitches. It doesn’t hurt that the writer has a sharp and quirky style (Mixed-Up Investigative Agency, Alone In Love).

My big dilemma? Wild Romance premieres the same day that The Moon That Embraces the Sun does, on January 4. Everyone, get your extra sleep hours in now, while you can.

and by the way, Angeline, how stupid can you be? commenting on this about about a different topic? don't you have eyes to check on it? or you just did it intentionally to get attention? my gosh!!!

well, that was the first thing I thought when I finished this article and thus I scrolled down to see if anyone else had asked and was answered. So thx angeline and that was not a completely different topic, JavaBeans mentioned it directly in her article, hence the questioning....

yeesh, some ppl have no blogging etiquette

kind of protect the boss-ish wonder if the lead guy scared of her too. Be a shame for her to kick ar#s and then fall for him and have to get the famous korean male jerk treatment, much more funny when the guy chancing the girl and scared of her at the same time!

I don't think they will go through the coward falls for the badass girl route. As you can see above Dumb and Dumberer looks more like it and bad boy against bad girl (ups where is Cinderella/Candy and her chabeol:))) omg how could they forget this cliche?)

Ahhhh i sooo want to watch dis...but d hair is way too horrid to watch. I am trying to get past it by watching the trailers and posters thinking i ll get used to it and it wont bother me much but no luck yet :( I guess i will just go with jb's recaps.

right? I can't get over her hair. I don't like it ): and I know that's the most shallow, silly reason to not watch a drama I'd otherwise probably watch but I don't care! I'll be shallow! I HATE HER HAIR.

Clearly I feel strongly about this, lol.

I guess I should be glad for people like you decide not to watch so that I won't have to read you guys' 'shallow' comments about it later.. oh well. move on move on.

I rather like the second poster.

Quite like the bickering-romance thing too - if it's not overdone. Let's hope this one gets the balance right.

You see, Lee Dongwook is looking hot in these.I am actually looking forward to this because, uh yeah, the hero is no genius. But why did our heroine have to be dumber than him? Hahahaha. Well, let's wait and see. X)

i actually like ladies with short hair but what LSY has on her head is one the most unflattering styles i've seen

its just doesnt suite her

still gonna watch the show but heres hoping for a mid show makeover

It also doesn't help that it looks like they permed the life out of her hair. She could look nice if the hair was straight and sleek. The posters make me want to roll my eyes, but just got to remind myself who the writer is and then I'm back on board!

Give Lee SiYoung her hair back! She's so pretty, but they ruined her with that weird fake-afro/Gu Joonpyo look.

I'm surprised by how much I'm looking forward to this. I'm even fascinated by the hair. It would have to be dumb love if he can look past the mini fro.

Cute posters! One of the things I really like about LSY is that she has an aura of intelligence about her-- even though I hate her horrific hairstyle here, it's helping me to imagine her as being "dumber".

Finally! A cute poster with LSY's horrible hair looking tolerable. Maybe she'll spend a lot of this rom/com wearing earmuffs? One can only hope.

I'm looking forward to this comedy, but am hoping that the comedy aspect skews more towards snarky rather than cartoonish, prat-falls, heavy on the riposte, light on the take-downs by LSY.

The hair still bothers me, but I'm sure I"ll get over that quick once I start watching. I'm looking forward to this.

Seriously? They had to give LSY that ahjumma perm hairstyle? You couldn't just leave her with her old hair? D:

- Agreed.

Bickering couples are a lot of fun when done well (i.e. - "My Princess", "Coffee Prince" - altho for the latter, it was more of a "bromance" for much of the series), but when it is nothing more than shrill yelling (like in "Secret Garden"), there's little fun at all and it's just annoying.

I'm so looking forward to this!! I've been a fan of Lee Shi-young since she was on We Got Married, and even though it wasn't an acting role, I loved her tough straight to the point personality. I've seen her in a few things, but I hope this is her breakout drama!

I'm excited to see Lee Dong-wook as well since I've only seen him play the serious (hottie) chaebol. I for one welcome the douchestache. haha.
