Photoshoot face-off: Monday hotties

136 January 21, 2013January 21, 2013

by girlfriday

You know what they say — there’s nothing like a group of Monday hotties to cure the Monday blues. Meet the contestants of today’s face-off: the men of Monday/Tuesday dramas and their battle against questionable fashions. I know, you’re thinking, “Isn’t it enough that they have to battle each other in dramaland?” It’s true; we could let the dramas speak for themselves and not let such shallow concerns factor into it. But what fun would life be if it were fair and sensical?

First up: the boys of tvN’s Flower Boy Next Door, Yoon Shi-yoon, Kim Ji-hoon, Mizuta Kouki, Kim Jung-san, and Go Kyung-pyo, for Vogue Girl. The upside is, they have strength in numbers; downside is plaid pants and ascots. I’m not sure any of that matters though, when Yoon Shi-yoon and Kim Ji-hoon are working the pants off of that camera. Sizzle.

Then there’s School 2013′s resident bad boy (er, okay so he’s one of like seventeen bad boys on this show) Kim Woo-bin for Dazed & Confused magazine. Uh… so the title is literal then? I’m pretty sure he might be wearing a skirt over jeans, but that’s nothing compared to the hair. It actually makes him look lopsided. There’s windswept, and then there’s this. What this shoot is missing: sense. Also, Lee Jong-seok.

And last but not least, we have new Monday/Tuesday contender Yawang’s leading man Kwon Sang-woo for Cosmopolitan. I… have failed to find any flaws. I checked. Carefully. Huh, whadduya mean you don’t wear dress shoes, body oil, and a velvet coat suited for vampires and/or Prince to go work out? That’s absurd.

What say ye — flower boys, bad boys, or muscle men for the win?

Time to flood Yawang show with scene suggestions to be helpful to ratings.

Shirtless dance scene.
Shaking water off coming out of pool scene.
Riding horse shirtless with wind blowing through hair scene.

Ok I know its winter and the last suggestin is tough but they could make it an escape with no shirt of some kind.

I like the first pic the best and between the two.. I kinda like both. Yoon Shi Yoon may be wins by an inch. LOL wth happened to Kim Woo Bin? I guess he was confused about what to wear, skirt or pant?? And the hair! Anyways, Kwon Sang Woo is not a favorite of mine but his pics look pretty good.. Though doesn't make any sense at all.

Flower boys for the win!!!! I love Yoon Shi Yoon and Kim Ji Hoon. I hope that flower boy next door meets the 5 % ratings deal so that we can see a picture of them kissing. lol. As for Kim Woo Bin, maybe that's not a skirt. I think its a polo shirt that they maybe tied around his waist, like 90s fashion, but I'm not sure. Haha

Lean muscle men win hands down in general (though for some reason, KSW does nothing for me).

So in this case, if we're pitting actual looks, I'd say Flower Boys cos all of them in the series have rocked my world... albeit (sadly) only in the stimulating eye-candy sense... sigh....

Kwon Sang Woo was the very first Korean actor I could distinguish among other Korean actors. Must be because of his nose:). But I think he's never looked better than now. His facial features seem more defined. Masculine. Yeah, I will go for masculine.
I usually find Kim Woo Bin very attractive but this photoshoot is a shameful failure. He looks meh. I guess he would be better off wearing plain jeans and T-shirt and not doing anything with his hair.
As for the flower boys - not my cup of tea. I guess I am getting old, but I prefer an interesting ahjussi to any flower boy. Ok, Kim Ji Hoon is not so bad.

He was my favourite character in White Christmas an I'm beyond happy to see him with Kwak Jung Wook again (it's the main reason I decided to watch School 2013!)! Can someone just re-unite all of the boys from that drama again? And re-dye Woo Bin's hair to bright red while you're at it? Much appreciated!
