Haeundae Lovers releases first teaser

The first teaser video is out for KBS’s upcoming Haeundae Lovers, and while it in no way diminishes my anticipation for what I hope will be a cute romantic comedy, it IS a pretty lame teaser. If only for the reason that it tells us nothing! It could just as well be a beach promo video released by a tourism board, or a Baywatch-esque opening credit sequence.

Where be the quirky setup (cop loses memory and thinks he’s a criminal) and the Kim Kang-woo and Jo Yeo-jung chemistry? ‘Cause I know that chemistry exists. Just not here.

That aside, we do have some more stills including more of the cast. For instance, Nam Gyuri (49 Days) is dressed in bridal white below, in character as the Minister of Justice’s daughter and prosecutor’s fiancée… you know, that upright prosecutor being Kim Kang-woo. Who thinks he’s a thug.

Speaking of whom, the stills below where Kim is crisp and neat in a suit and tie are how we’re used to seeing him; the muddied and disheveled ones below that promise something of an image transformation. Nothing like memory loss to facilitate some serious loss of dignity.

Haeundae Lovers also stars Jung Seok-won (Rooftop Prince), T-ara’s So-yeon, and Davichi’s Kang Min-kyung (Vampire Idol). It follows Big on Mondays and Tuesdays (with a brief break for the Olympics) and premieres on August 13.

That's the lamest promo, ever!
It looks exactly like what I see on the PAC promoting Myrtle Beach - (without the alcohol umbrella drinks!).

Aww... is Nam Gyuri going to be typecast into a "I Shall Never Get The Guy, Despite Wearing A Wedding Dress" role?

Still, I refuse to be turned off by the lame teaser!

Oh wow, that teaser .... LOL - Have no clue as to who made it but one thing is for sure, it made me cringe. The music was off putting to say the least, was half expecting the Hoff to pop out with a board.
I do have to say Nam Gyuri wedding dress is gorgeous, love the lace.

Does the main male lead look like Kwon Sang Woo to anyone? The young version of KSW before he made it big with Stairway to Heaven?

Yeah? No? Is it just me?

And if they're gonna tease us with a beach video, does that mean we're gonna get lotsa topless Kim Kang-woo. That I'd watch all day, quirky plot or dialogue be damned.

Lead is suppose to be a gangster daughter? But is it me or did I spy Daddy Gangster with Hello Kitty tattoo and pink lace apron... They are aiming for comedy here?

Kim Kang Woo, I still have not recover from your confusing character from the movie version of A Better Tomorrow... but man... you look cute in this!

That didn't look like any Kdrama footage I've ever seen. Too much bare skin. Are you sure it isn't from a cable tourist documentary that the network bought because it was too cheap to shoot its own footage?
