Kitschy new posters for I Summon You, Gold
by javabeans
javabeans: Speaking of terrible last-minute drama posters… Here’s the batch from I Summon You, Gold, which premieres this weekend.
girlfriday: So is this just going to be the trend now? Because I haven’t seen one Spring drama with good posters yet. Not ONE.
javabeans: Hey. It was a rough winter. Photoshoppers need rest too. Maybe Summer will be their time.
girlfriday: I know we say this all the time, but drama producers really should just hire fans to make posters. They’re always better than the official ones by a long shot.
javabeans: Like the fan art that came out hours after the announcement of Lee Min-ho’s new drama, Heirs (aka He Who Wishes To Wear the Crown, Endure Its Weight: Heirs). And no, this isn’t (only) an excuse to post Lee Min-ho pictures! I’m not that shallow! (Okay I am that shallow. But this was a totally necessary inclusion!)
girlfriday: Uh-huh.
javabeans: Don’t you shake your head at me. It’s either this, or the real Gold posters. Where… apparently you can bash gold out of things by hitting them with mallets real hard. I think that’s the message I’m getting.
girlfriday: I can’t believe they took Sexy Hot Vampire Prosecutor and turned him into a club-wielding hobgoblin. I get the gold/goblin thing, but… BUT… sexy broody vampire! At your disposal!
javabeans: Is it just me, or does that top poster make you think he’s going to bash Han Ji-hye back into her magic chest?
girlfriday: Yeah that’s what it looks like. Like I Dream of Genie, but more violent.
javabeans: And maybe without the logic.
girlfriday: To be fair to the posters, I don’t think the drama had much of that to begin with. This is the drama with two Han Ji-hyes, right?
javabeans: Yes, one of them breaks his heart, and the other one teaches him the meaning of love. Or something.
girlfriday: Well it’s only fair. What else are doppelgangers for?

Hehehe: On the posters, sure he is. ;)
I don't think they will keep this for the drama tho... Unless they want to do an inside joke (and it's a MBC WE drama, so everything crazy is legit.)

This looks like a criminal waste of Yeon Jung Hoon. I mean, seriously, the creators of this thing should be roundly punished and YJH should be put in the corner for taking on this role. YUCK! I hate it when actors I love so much do something that looks so crappy.

I have to give it to the unnis GF and JB, the fanmade Heirs posters look way better than the I Summon you Gold or the All About My Romance ones...
Jeesh what is this? Those posters look horrible. I cant say the look cheap because Ive seen real cheap work that looks REALLY good... If I were to let myself be totally influenced by the posters, I would not watch ANY of the dramas this spring. But since Im not a complete sucker Im giving a few of them a try.

*le sigh* I can only hope against all hope that the drama turns out infinitely better than what the premise and posters are like.

I fancy the little box of rhinoceros beetles our heroine is standing in in the first picture.
These horny little friends also go by the name of Hercules or Unicorn beetles, they are nocturnal creatures and like to hide beneath logs... males are often used in gambling fights (and a female is used trigger their fighting spirits) which makes sense if... we think of our Doppelgängers as beetles fighting for a prize - which would be gold - and I am lost.
Does anyone know of rhinoceros beetles having a special meaning and/or connection to this story? Haven't been following the updates.
Otherwise, I think the posters are quite blank but it could be worse.

I also like the giant bone he's sporting. Doesn't Fred Flintstone have a similiar one...?

If he stars in a long weekend drama does that mean it is unlikely we will see VP Season 3?

I... don't understand the club. Why is there a club? Who woke up one morning and thought, 'You know what these posters/this drama really need? A club.'

the title of the drama is from a korean children's song.. a rough translation of the song would be like. "weird and beautiful goblin world, if i hit it with a club what will happen? gold come out, come out (the "i summon you gold" of the title), silver come out, come out"
but yeah. the title comes directly from that song... so. that explains the club :)

Oh! So that's it, a song! ...... thank you for taking the time to explain this, it makes sense now.
I did giggle at the Flintstone references mentioned here by others though, hehehe ...... but I just knew there had to be a reasonable explanation behind the title and picture.

Why is she wearing a silver sequin dress instead of gold?
Don't get the Fred Flintstone club..Tsk...Tsk... Concept looks stupid, but YJH looks marvelous as usual.
Love the lMH posters. This man cannot take a bad photo!

The posters aren't that great, but I don't seem to find them as offensive as everyone else. And I actually sort of like the whimsical vibe. Really, it could be way worse (see: Alice in Cheomdamdong posters).

I like the posters. I think they are adorable. I always kind of feel like the family drama posters or posters for longer dramas are cheesy in some way or the other and I think it works, lol.

i didn't expect much at all from this drama but watched it nonetheless because i love the living daylights out of YJH and damn. i am actually hooked. i'm really picky about my dramas and not even my combined love for yoochun and yoo seungho (YES, YOO SEUNGHO) could make me finish I Miss You and that drama isn't even really that bad.
but i'm loving this. i ditched his previous drama "Can Money Become Love" but I'm liking this. It kinda has an ojakgyo brothers vibe to it, with the family theme and all. Okay, so I do fast forward every single time Monghee's uncle/aunty/paternal grandparents come on screen.. but otherwise it's great.
Really really loving the Hyuntae-Monghyun relationship development. Sweet little maknaes from both families. Really excited for this drama. :)

I also thing this drama is doing great...Han ji Hye is adorable. Both the lead couples rock and really love the peppy friendship between the monghee- hyunsu couple. And in the recent episodes even the rest of Monghee's family is not so bad at all....
