Filming begins on Jeon Woo-chi
by javabeans
girlfriday: Wheeee! Finally, some stills from KBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama Jeon Woo-chi!
javabeans: Cha Tae-hyun looks like he’s having a blast.
girlfriday: It would just be wrong to play a wizard and not have a blast.
javabeans: I love that the description says that Woo-chi “harbors the desire for revenge inside” but outwardly comes across as a goof-off. I can totally see the goof-off, but the revenge part (after Woo-chi loses his mentor Hong Gil-dong and his sweetheart) makes him interesting. Also: Who’s gonna suspect that joker of being a big threat?
girlfriday: Ooh I like that — he can let everyone underestimate him, and then poof! You’re a rat! Okay, that’s probably not the kind of magic he does, but yunno. I really do like the inherent duality of an impish prankster character who’s hellbent on revenge.
javabeans: It definitely puts a new spin on the ole sageuk hero archetype. Buh-bye, cool action hero heartthrobs with Manes of Glory! Iljimae, Baek Dong-soo, uh, Other Iljimae, move aside. The class clown with the little ponytail is reporting for duty.
girlfriday: I do love the pony. The flying-in-the-air-with-ponytail-up-at-high-mast is awesome.
javabeans: Reportedly, Tae-hyun has been working out intensively and doing lots of stunts. I wonder, will that turn him around on 1N2D and make him less the lazy bum? Or… will that just make him more tired and magnify the lazy bumminess?
girlfriday: I was just gonna say, it’ll probably make him more of a lazy bum. There’s a chance it’ll push him onto the Capable Team, but I don’t think it’ll change his desire to win any games.
javabeans: …which probably means he won’t actually make it to the Capables. Sigh. Well, maybe he can practice his math problems in his downtime.
girlfriday: I want to know what he’s doing in the non-flying stills. Is there an invisible fox bead of magical power there?
javabeans: I want to know what the PD told him. “Just make something up. We’ll CG it in post!”
girlfriday: Famous last words of the Faith PD. *facepalm*
javabeans: *faceslap*

hm. well, it's not outright bad in my opinion, but it's also not very good. If you like slow but sweet romances you should watch it, though.

It's not the BEST drama ever but it's worth watching especially if you're a LMH fan. It does kinda start out slow/boring but it definitely picks up a little.

I LOVE FAITH!!!
It doesn't have great fight scenes, or great surprise twisty twists, or bad guys with cool dastardly plans, but it has heart and lovely characters.

True~~... he has this so baby-like face, but once he changes his hairstyle he completely transforms into an older version of him O.o I noticed it a couple of times.. but 'gain, this should be better in this context... honestly, I couldn't picture our Taehyun in this serious action role until I saw these pics and his new style :D, CTH hwaiting!

In last week's 1N2D, Cha Tae Hyun mentioned that the place they are filming is the place where Bird PD lost to Kim Jong Min in 5Mok. The stills kind of look like it.

I stopped watching Faith in episode...whatever. I've been reading the recaps more than anything else just to see what happens. I like the actors but the show itself is NOT well done. -_-
I'm really looking forward to Jeon Woo-Chi though. Cha Tae-Hyun is such a goofball and I can't wait to see what he does with this role.

"...he can let everyone underestimate him, and then poof! You’re a rat!" Haha~ my dramabeans-centric brain read that and instantly saw an image of Prosecutor Joo from Vampire Prosecutor 2. (jb had previously likened her to a rat and that likeness obviously resonated with me.)
I love the idea of a having a revenge-seeking wolf dressed in class-clown clothing-- Cha Yae Hyun is just the guy to pull that off.

I was spoiled by Jeon Woo Chi the movie starring Kang Dong Won. My idea of JWC is someone lean, smart & tricky. Can't picture Cha Tae Hyun as him, which is like..the opposite. But then again, Cha can take on anything, so yes, can't wait.

Same here. But, I think if anyone can do a whack version of JWC, other than the debonair KDW, it's gonna be CTH.
But I probably won't watch this until it's over. I've recently re-watched JWC and KDW's portrayal is still fresh in mind. I can't let go of him just yet. Sigh, here's hoping the army changed KDW's mind about drama appearances. I want him on TV (or laptop screen) weekly. His movies aren't enough. And god forbid, I have to suffer through 1% of anything just to watch him in something longer.

yes, they are totally different.. KDW did really good portrayed Jeon woo chi in the movie but I can see jeon woo chi's character in CTH too, so I hope it will good...
