Oohlala Spouses makes best poster ever
by girlfriday
Pwahahahaha. If this show is half as funny as its promo material, it’ll be a winner. What genius made this awesome poster? And how does Shin Hyun-joon look kind of pretty as a bride?? Here’s the official poster for the upcoming gender-bendy rom-com Oohlala Spouses, starring Shin Hyun-joon (Gaksital) and Kim Jung-eun (Hanbando, I Am Legend), where everything you need to know about the premise is just right there on the hilarious poster: Soul-swapping husband and wife? Check. Gender-bendy shenanigans? Check. A cast that’s down for anything? Check and check.
The stills and second teaser down below give us a little more meat in regards to the couple’s initial conflict. Namely, it looks like hubby’s a cheating bastard. It’s also messing with my head that Han Chae-ah went from kissing one Gaksital to the other, but clearly Shin Hyun-joon has left that character behind. Turns out a man in a bridal mask and a bridal gown are just two very different things.
This teaser starts out parodying Big right away, which cracks me up. Please tell me that means you’re planning to get the body swapping done right for a change. It looks like the couple goes from a fateful rescue meet-cute to a rocky marriage that lands them in divorce court. But then the powers that be step in to swap their souls, forcing them to get a little taste of what life is like on the other side of that gender and marital divide.
Stills below show hotelier hubby on the job and philandering with his manager, and also in the aftermath of what looks like a violent accident involving a shoe. Is that what happened to you when your wife found you out? The stills of Kim Jung-eun as a geisha are just as curious, though they’re reportedly having to do with the character’s past in some way.
The drama actually seems like a funnier, zanier version of the rom-com Can’t Lose more than any of the other body-swapping dramas, as far as story goes. There’s such great conflict in setting up a switcheroo for a married couple that begin the show rooted in very traditional gender roles — room for character growth, heartwarming moments of understanding, and so much hilarity if done right. So far, all signs point to yes.
The production is helmed by PD Lee Jung-sub of Baker King and writer Choi Soon-shik of Bad Couple. Since the current Monday-Tuesday show Haeundae Lovers aired three episodes this week to finish out the series, Oohlala Spouses premieres next Monday on KBS.

i'm excited for this. i like a lot of the actors in this drama, especially Han Chae Ah. Hoping that she's going to be more funny than evil in this, ala Wang Ji Hye in Protect the Boss. (Gah, that scene of the three girls in Eun Seol's place singing 2NE1's I am the Best is still memorable because it was a hoot.)

I knew the expression "foot in mouth" but "shoe in mouth" is a first for me.
Parodying Big (the water scene and also when he falls down the stairs in slow-mo): It's not nice to make fun of the sick little bro. *Evil laugh*
Now, just to be sure... Re-swapping at the end, right? No metaphysical ending, right?
Please, be a good show. Please, Please...

Thank you for all the Gaksital references!
Team A: Shin and Chae-Ah are in this and then Team B: SaeYeon, Damsari (the actor, not the character), and Chairman Ueno (again, the actor) are in Five Fingers. Ha!
Now if only we can get the remainder of Gaksital together on Team C...
Not likely with the way K-entertainment industry works, but worth a shot hoping for. Bring on more Gaksital reunions for YEARS to come!!
Oh, yeah. The poster. I forgot what this post was about for a minute. It DOES remind me of ISWAK as someone above mentioned. YAY!!

I have to add Kim Sun Ah, the girl looks like she gets more beautiful as the years roles on, I'm surprise she turns 37 in a week. I want to know their secret -_-.

Shin Hyun-joon is one of my fave actors.
Out of line, but just want to say that one of my dreams come true.
I just read that Cha Tae Yun will take the leading actor on KBS 'Jeon Woo Chi'. That means he will be taking over the wand after Tae Wong (Equator Man) and Joo Won (Gaksital)... All three are the casts of 2D1N... Who's next?
I wish Tae Yun will win the 'marathon' and finish 2012 beautifully!
He will face Seung Woo on Third Ward.
Wow, quite interesting.
Add that with Vampire Prosecutor 2 and I will have to loose another sleep hours, oh dear....
What they say is true... be careful for what you wish for, because it may comes true. Ohlala.....

It says about can a Freedom Fighter fall in love with a Geisha dancer (something like that).
