Lee Min-ho stars opposite Kim Hee-sun in Faith

151 April 3, 2012April 3, 2012

by girlfriday

So if reports are true, fantasy fusion historical epic Faith has FINALLY found its hero in Lee Min-ho (City Hunter). Well, technically it had two other heroes before they had to drop out of the running; it’s kind of the drama that couldn’t keep a man, so I’ll go ahead and believe the Lee Min-ho news when I see him dressed in period costume and ditching his City Hunter gun for a sword and his car for a horse.

The drama has managed to hold onto its leading lady through all the hero drama, and actress Kim Hee-sun has confirmed (or re-confirmed, or re-re-confirmed, I’m honestly not sure anymore) that she’ll be sticking with the role. This will be Kim’s first role in six years, since 2006’s Smile Again. If you’re unfamiliar, she was one of the reigning It Girls for the better part of the nineties, and starred in almost every trendy drama I can remember from that decade.

So based on the latest description, Faith is actually YET ANOTHER time-traveling sageuk, which is maybe so common now that it’s gone from redundant back around to being funny. I guess technically Faith was supposed to air before all these other ones beat it to the broadcast punch, but that’s just the name of the game, ’cause now you’re just riding the trend instead of setting it. It’s set in the Goryeo era, where a warrior meets a doctor from the present and the two fall in love. Uh… Time Slip Dr. Jin anyone? Lee will play the warrior, a leader of the royal guard, and Kim the lively and animated… wait for it… plastic surgeon. HA. Okay, that’s pretty funny. What are they gonna do with a plastic surgeon in the Goryeo era?

At least now I see where the funny will come from, because before when they called it a fantasy-medical-fusion-historical-comedy, I thought they were just confused. At the helm is the dream team–PD Kim Jong-hak and writer Song Ji-nah–of Sandglass, Eyes of Dawn, and Legend. Rounding out the cast are Choi Min-soo, Kim Seung-soo, Philip Lee and Park Sang-won.

This will be both Lee Min-ho’s and Kim Hee-sun’s first foray into historical fare, so we’ll have to see if they can deliver. They’ve got a lot of obstacles–sageuk delivery, a ten-year age gap, and stunts for Lee–but whether it soars above expectation or goes down in flames, it sure has my interest.

Faith has landed a broadcast slot following Ghost and premieres in August on SBS.

Well, I have to say that this couple looks... strange for me :|. Kim Hee Sun is still gorgeous, but taken into account that she is a decade older than LMH, I'm kind of skeptical. Anyway, it also depends on the script, and the drama already has 2 big names to attract Kdrama lovers :)

But LMH looks older then his age.

Technically, he's the "older" one in the time slip stuff. So.... does she call him o-bba or does he call her nu-na XD?

I have no problem with noona-dongsaeng love, but I have to agree that I'm tired of seeing it in dramas. I feel like I've watched the same story so many times that I just want something new. The noona love story always has the same conflicts and you can see them coming a mile away.

Pretty true. I don't mind there being a noona-dongsaeng couple, but I'm tired of the "oh, but I'm older than you!" angst angst. Instead of noona-dongsaeng love being groundbreaking and unconventional, it's becoming a drama trope.

I am worried about the ten year age gap, but I guess it would be an extension of the Lee Seung-gi/Ha Ji-won pairing in King2hearts.

Anyway, I cannot wait for Lee Min-ho clad in armour, fingers crossed this does not fall through...

Sick of time traveling, where the fish out of water funny can only last the first few episodes. Like just a bait in the beginning, only to suffer with makjang and what not at the back. And yes I bet there will be the accompanying sidekicks.

And OTP of Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun? That guy deserves the hottest, not her.

I don't mind the age gap so much as this trend of guys in their early twenties playing like they are in their 30s.
Why don't they just don't hire actors who are actually in the same age range as the character they are playing. (There are plenty hot actors of all ages...)

That way we don't have to fight the whole - Oh you were literally in highschool in your last drama (a year ago) and now your 30....

That said I love Lee Min ho and Lee Seung Gi who have and are now doing this.

Hi Maymay, that gif had the SBS seal on it, on the right side of the screen. Was Lee Min Ho in a drama on that (moving) picture? I am just wondering because I thought (based on the reports) that he had never been in a sageuk before. So how do we explain your gif and the pictures posted by Linda165 (he seems to be wearing the same outfit as the one on your gif) and the SBS HD seal on the gif?

I am a little confused... Thanks to anyone who can help.

Now I am thinking, since this is a drama by SBS, maybe they have started filming (after all there is at least one gif and the SBS logo on it) and that is where the gif comes from and maybe the subsequent picture by linda165.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, we've never had "woman travelling back to Joseon/Goryeo period and falls in love with local man" type of drama before, right?
I'm excited about this just because of the novelty. Sure, story where a person from the past comes to our current age is fun, but I've always been much more interested in the opposite scenario. Maybe it's my love for fantasy games/tv shows with a middle age setting?

What makes it even more exciting is that she's a woman. Usually it's the guy that time slips. Looking forward to this one so they'd better have a good script!

*nods in agreement* It broke my heart that they left it open-ended. I kind of wished they included the bit that I read (translated) from the book about his life after she leaves the past.

But, I suppose that made it all the more exciting to watch.

It also kind of smacks of the novel Outlander, only with hanboks instead of kilts. (But here's hoping Lee Min Ho isn't forced by his society's strictures to beat the crap out of the heroine :b )

Hi,
Actually, there is such a drama and someone mentioned it on this blog, I think. I checked it out on Drama Wiki and the info was accurate. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of that drama or the name of the actress who time slipped. If it does come back to me, I will post it. I'm pretty sure there has been such a (Korean) drama in the past.

I also should say that at least it's not like the 14-year age difference between Kim Jung-eun and Kwak Hee-sung in "Hanbando". To me, she still looks like she could play his mom in a different drama, especially if KHS didn't have that mustache.

April 5, 2012 at 6:21 AM

yes, age does not matter, but I hope to give opportunities to other young actors, the same age as him, may be more appropriate than Noona ... maybe it makes a big impact, sometimes so fed up with current trends where they take "Noona" as the female lead actress, it should not be problem to take a young and fresh ..

Yes. Lee Seung Gi turned 25 on january 13 and Ha Ji Won will turn 34 on June 28 (these are their Western ages. They are a year older in Korea). So they do have a 9 year age gap. I do agree that because of their chemistry, whether they are arguing or expressing the beginning of their mutual attraction to each other, that age gap does not seem to be an issue.

I can't help but think this woman, who had G-dragon call her grandmother because she found him to be an adorable little kid, is now playing the love interest to Lee min-Ho. Yea, at first I was worried she might come across as his auntie but if they have enough chemistry, they'll pull this off. I'm excited it's the female time traveling in a k-drama this time and I trust the writer. Should be good.

Hm, not sure how successful the age difference will be, but then again, Lee Min-ho does tend to play older than his years without it being noticeable and Kim Hee-sun doesn't look 35 to me, so who knows.

There's also the fact that a younger woman - of, say, LMH's age - being a (hopefully respected) plastic surgeon wouldn't be all that believable. (although this is a kdrama involving time travel, so I guess what's considered believable is a matter of opinion.)

Honestly I wasn't a bit interested in this drama until I saw the premise (yeah, even when I thought Lee Junki would be in it, and then a few minutes ago when I saw Lee Min-Ho was doing it), and how refreshing is it that the GIRL will get to do the time-travelling this time?

Most importantly, though: Yay for more Lee Min-Ho! And with a mane of glory!! Suddenly I'm *very* ready for this drama.

actually, this drama won't be Kim Heesun's first saeguk/period themed work, since she was in a movie "The Myth" with Jackie Chan.

I don't really like the idea of LMH & KHS's pairing, but who knows maybe it can work?

I'm not too familiar with Kim Hee-sun, but she has atleast earned my respect. I'm one of whose who values good people traits, such as professional loyalty and faithfulness. The show has been extremely delayed for so long and yet she remains on the project.

And how does some of the commenters want to reward such loyalty?, by changing out the actress simply because she does not match up to the recently JUST casted.

As for the age gap, did we not already went through all the complaining with 'TheKing 2 Hearts' (it seems those crowd are quiet now with TK2H). Are we forgetting what year WE are living in???

Maybe I can time travel into the future where people are not Shallow and Superficial, but that's another Fantasy drama. but odd thing is, it would be a 'fantasy drama' NOT just because of time travel.

Aren't there any young(er) actresses in Korea anymore?
Every drama that I watch(moon/sun.TKH...),the girls are much older than the boys.Not necessarily a bad thing,but you know...

Yay, Lee Min-ho!

And I don't care about the age gap. With all these western movies and tv shows that have much older guys paired off with much younger girls (like seriously, I can name movies I've seen with older girls paired off with younger guys on one hand), I welcome the opposite occurring frequently in Korean dramas!

Oh thank you Kdrama gods.

Lee Min Ho is back!!!
I've missed my hot pink pants wearin Oppa.

I'm excited for this show, I can't wait to watch it.

And I'm so not even bothered about that age gap, age ain't nothing BUT a number, it's the acting talent you gotta worry about but I'm not worried cuz theyre going to murk this show and show alll the haters (keep hating on the talented ones, they still getting payed).

Thanks for the update GirlFriday cuz I was wondering when this show was gonna act right and get back on schedule.

FAITH HWAITING!!!

A lot of the sageuk dramas now are coming out of the Joseon era and going back to the Goryeo era now, aren't they. I think I've noticed that with some of the news about these new dramas now.
WHAT? Did Joseon get too popular and so they are going back to older periods now? LOL!!!
As far as the age gap, I don't think age is much of an issue if the main couple has chemistry and if the man doesn't look like 14. And I think LMH looks his age of 24 which is a plus in this situation.

Considering modern and historical life expectancies... If she's going to stay with him, it's probably a good thing for him to be 10 years younger than her. ;)

Very excited to see Lee Min-ho returning to dramas!
