Kim Bum confirms Goddess of Fire
by girlfriday
Kim Bum (That Winter, The Wind Blows) has confirmed that he’ll be starring opposite Moon Geun-young (Alice in Cheongdam-dong) in his first historical drama, upcoming MBC sageuk Goddess of Fire Jung-yi. The project stars Moon as Joseon’s first female potter, and Kim Bum will play the warrior who’s been in love with her his entire life.
The 32-episode drama replaces MBC’s current Monday-Tuesday drama Gu Family Book in July, and comes from the writer of Warrior Baek Dong-soo and the director of Heading to the Ground. It takes place during the reign of King Gwanghae (played by Lee Sang-yoon), and stars Moon Geun-young as the titular Jung-yi, better known as Baek Pa-sun, the first female ceramic artist of her time. The story plans to shine a new light on the life and love of Gwanghae, who loved Jung-yi but had to let her go because of his position.
Kim Bum plays Kim Tae-do, who’s described as a Mr. Perfect. He’s got good looks, exceptional martial arts skills, and a kind, gentle personality to boot. What, no genius or scarred past to add to that list? His character is upright and believes in justice above all else, and is “strong against those who are strong, and weak against those who are weak.” Is that just a euphemism for “is shy around the ladies”?
Tae-do and Jung-yi grow up together like siblings, but not, yunno, like that — we’ve had enough of that drama in his last drama. He’ll basically spend his whole life devoted to her, with a sweet pure-hearted love. Why does that description already make me sad for him, like he’s sure to end up with second-lead unrequited love? For once the happily ever after doesn’t sound secure for either of the men in the story, but maybe that’s the point.
What really matters is that Kim Bum’s been cast as a sword-wielding fighter, which means only one thing: Mane. Of. Glory. See ya in July.

Most k-actors have lazy eye? Really? Can't be. I know Seo In Guk does. Bae Yong Joon too. Who else? It doesn't matter if it isn't distracting. It's only a problem if in close-ups, we see their asymmetric eyes before/more than we see anything else. I don't think it is picking on them, since the first order of business for an actor is to have an attractive appearance, no?

Faye
May 6, 2013 at 4:22 AM
. . ."since the first order of business for an actor is to have an attractive appearance, no?"
And here I thought it was for them to, you know, *act* well.
That's one thing British, French, and other dramas have over American and Korean acting -- the emphasis is on professionally trained actors, and looks come second. I'd much rather see people who don't look like goddesses but actually know how to act convincingly than see what looks like a bunch of mannequins (complete with immobile faces) recite dialogue unconvincingly.
There's nothing that says actors can't be attractive and good at what they do, but the idea that an actor's primary responsibility is to look beautiful is interesting, to say the least.

It is always a problem when a quote or an idea is taken out of context. I was responding to Kiara who said that Most K-actors have lazy eye: I think that can't be bcos looks r very impt in the K-ent industry, no?
KDaddict
May 6, 2013 at 5:54 AM
As a viewer, one has to be pretty idiotic to think that only looks matter. I made the same argument you r making a few days ago to sb else who said they only watched leads who r "drop-dead gorgeous".
As an observer of the K-ent industry, one also has to be pretty idiotic to not know that it's looks that get them in the door, before they get a chance to horn their acting skills.
It's obvious that the biggest stars r those who r both good-looking and acting power-houses.
When you cut sb's post,it's easy to misunderstand n take the argument on a tangent.
TS
May 6, 2013 at 8:42 AM
Not interesting per se, just different cultural outlooks. I agree: I love British and French acting. But I often don't find them pretty. That's okay, because presence trumps pretty. In K-drama and American drama, it seems to be the prettiness that matters most, though there's also good acting.
I don't mind the prettiness mattering more: I started on K dramas because I wanted to see pretty people wearing pretty things in pretty places. (And because i wanted to see Kim Nam Gil, of course.)

even if mgy's eyes sometime look like cross eyed she is still PRETTY NO MATTER what angle she do :)))
Cheryl
May 6, 2013 at 1:04 PM
Exactly! An actor's/actress's job is to *act*, not look pretty. That's what models are paid to do. American Steve Buscemi isn't conventionally attractive but he's a very good actor and has done well for himself.
The non-American actors I'm most familiar with are British, and they wipe the floor with their American counterparts (as a rule).

Wow... I just now scrolled down and saw the unfolding argument. Who knew a little comment on her eye would blow up into something like this?
That aside, I've always liked Moon Geun Young. A lot of actresses in dramas tend to try and act cute, and it comes off as superficial and awkward on screen. But Moon Geun Young always made her acting look natural. Her heroines always felt like normal people and that is something rare to see. l look forward to watching this drama, for her and Kim Bum. Whether they are overrated or underrated, I don't doubt their acting. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a talented writer and excellent director.

To be fair, artistic expertise at pottery is not something you can fake easily so it was one of the smart things that the director did, not spend too much time with him making stuff.

I wish him luck and he is long overdue for his first foray into the genre. He's decently talented but saeguks are a whole other ball game and love her or hate her ( I personally love her) Moon Geun Young is one of the best if not the best saeguk actress of their age group ( don't believe me, watch painter in the wind) so he may sink or swim based on his abilities. Also lee Sang Yoon is a more than capable saeguk actor, so I actually don't mind him getting top billing over Kim Bum but at the same time I have a hard time imagining him with MGY in the romantic sense.

Lee Sang Yoon is more than capable to be the lead on a sageuk over Kim Bum. I watchedTthe Duo for Chun Jung Myung but was more impressed with Lee Sang Yoon instead.
I agree about Kim Bum being decently talented. I just hope that this sageuk will expose his strength and not the other way around.

"...exceptional martial arts skills"
*sigh* Why, drama, WHY? Unless one of his fans can confirm that he is indeed practicing a martial art in RL (or has a natural ability), I already know I will cringe at the man-battle scenes... #ActionSchoolStuntmenToTheRescue!
The description of KB's character is as standard as it can be. I would have liked a scholar a la QIHM... That's really a shame cause I like him as an actor and I pretty much like the premise of the story. On the other hand, I believe the female character has potential: A real "leading" lady. Guess who's going to have clay pots smashed on his head? ;)

Well, let's hope he's got fight scene talent not yet displayed in his previous roles.
or maybe they will go the way of his BOF character, haha. In the scene where the guys rescue Gu Jun Pyo and JanDi in the warehouse, Woo Bin and Yoon-Ji-hoo were fighting the baddies, but So Yi-jung saunters in, hands in pockets, and simply kicks his baddie. That cracked me up.
Maybe he can just smile at his opponents and run his thumb across his bottom lip. Cause we all know that smile is a pretty potent weapon.

"Maybe he can just smile at his opponents and run his thumb across his bottom lip. Cause we all know that smile is a pretty potent weapon."
Funny but that is his secret weapon, his charm and that smile lol. It may work if this was a comedy but a sageuk can be very demanding on the physical body and there is only so much you can hide with a body double.

yeah, that doesn't happen too often in kdramas - usually, we're lucky if the hero and heroine share equal weightage, forget about her actually being the focus of the story.
For all its faults, I think BOF did an ok job of splitting importance between its leads/not weighing it TOO heavily on the boy's side, but I look forward to a show with a woman at the heart of it.

I loved the fight scenes in Warrior Baek Dong Soo. Especially the last fight scene between Yeo Un and Chun. Every thing was so amazing and I hope I get to see some of the same style in this drama as well.
I don't doubt Kim Bum can play the character well. And MGY is amazing in whatever she's in so this is on my must-watch list.

Sigh. Sounds like the character is totally friend zoned-so NOT the male lead? Well, boo.
Why do actors I really like get cast in shows I have zero interest in?
Razzlefrazzle.
I'm thinking not so much time for Kim Bum to grow out a mane of glory, which is a cryin all night shame.
All that whining aside, I hope he has a great experience and the show does well because he's just awesome. I can never get enough of him.

I like both MGY and Kim Bum but I don'tseen to be able to get into Saeguks. I might give it a go because I gel in love with Bummie's Mane of Mystery(?) in Padam Padam so a Mane of Glory is going to be just that much more awesome, right?

I wanted him to be first lead in something, but I am shallow and will settle for Mane of Glory.

"Mane Of Glory" should be a required sageuk look for these handsome guys. And in case the drama turns out to be boring, simply gaze upon their awesome good looks...-sigh-

MGY and LSY would make some kind of awkward looking couple.......MGY may be of the right age but her face looks like it's stuck in a bad version of her childhood face hence they would look awkward as a couple....with KB it would be more believable as he has a baby face but with LSY it would look like an uncle-niece relationship......

I used to find him overrated but that changed after I watched Padam Padam. He's matured a lot and his acting looks so much more natural now. You critics should watch him in Padam Padam. You'll change your mind.

ack he is second lead again? don't think I'll watch a 32 episode drama for a second lead >__>;;
i really hope he gets a lead soon. I think he's one of the better younger actors.

i'm not really familiar with korean history, but i like how ambiguous the ending is as to who she will end up with (or it could very well end up not having to matter, which is fine by me also). as much as i like kim bum and am excited to learn more about lee sang yoon on screen, i will be watching for moon geun young. some may be unsatisfied with her looks, but she's completely my cup of tea.
