Warm and Cozy on the beaches of Jeju Island
by javabeans
If the point of filming a breezy springtime rom-com entirely on Jeju Island were to make me want to go to there, they’ve succeeded with Warm and Cozy, which has officially begun rolling cameras on the island. (Seriously, who doesn’t want to hop over for a beach holiday now? Okay, I’m always ready for that, but now I’m fighting a fresh wave of vacation envy.)
These stills feature a happier-looking encounter between our leads than the previous one; last time had Yoo Yeon-seok as the owner-chef of a Jeju restaurant and Kang So-ra as an employee of a clothing agency meeting in a more exasperating scenario (or at least it seemed that way on her end). Here the scenery is peaceful and the mood less hurried, and now all I want is to be there on a literal long walk on the beach, maybe with margaritas. With so many contemporary dramas set in the cosmopolitan bustle of Seoul, it’s always refreshing to step away from the big city and adopt a different pace.
At bottom, we also have a few shots of Lee Sung-jae (King’s Face) in a supporting role playing Yoo Yeon-seok’s half-brother, looking chic and broody. He’s a resort company president in Seoul who’s driven by a strong sense of responsibility, and despite having a different father, he looks after Yoo Yeon-seok as a caring hyung. I’ve gotten used to watching him playing villains and difficult personalities, so that sounds like a welcome change for his image. (Honestly, if he gets through an entire drama without cheating, killing, or raping, I’ll be relieved.)
Warm and Cozy is now in the thick of its Jeju shoots, and is set to premiere after Angry Mom on MBC. Get your mai tais ready!

The creepy Lee Sungjae look is already out of my mind when I watched the episode of Law Of The Jungle where he was stripping in front of the camera while everyone was still asleep not knowing it was recording. Even the vj was shocked. hahah

"Honestly, if he gets through an entire drama without cheating, killing, or raping, I’ll be relieved."
My thoughts exactly. He's so good playing the unlikable, evil characters that I'm afraid this drama might have him playing both sides... or maybe it'll be like when Choi Min Soo turned out to be half-villain, half-hero in Pride and Prejudice. I was on edge the entire time because I didn't know until the end what side he stood for. Maybe Lee Sung-jae well be the same here. If so, I'm scared but excited for the ride. He looks attractive and approachable here!
Honestly never watched anything with Kang SoRa in it, except Sunny. But I'm intrigued at this premise. I like her facial expressions in the stills. Hopefully it's not overdone or underwhelming.

Well, the former working title was Jeju Island Gatsby. And there were plenty of dark twists in that novel.

Haha my general reaction to Lee Sung-jae is usually "Boo. Hiss!" for all those reasons listed. I think we found his look though 'cause I'm feeling warm and cozy now too ;)
Oh no, that's part of his evil plan isn't it? SAVE YOURSELVES!

LOL-- I'm experiencing the same thing in regards to the usually villainous Ahn Suk-hwan, who's playing a good guy (Papa Ma) for a change in Falling for Innocence. My brain is having a hard time perceiving his voice and smile as being anything but sinister.

That's also what my reaction to Jang Hyun Suk (Daddy Seo) in Heard It Through Grapevine. I'm so used seeing him all the time as slimy ba*tard/traitor/evil plotter.

Ha meee too esp since it's so soon after I was hating his unethical guts in Punch and now he's a bumbling dad and I go "there there it'll all work out". Perfect match for his former serial killer son-in-law turned cavity-inducing sweet baby daddy. lol

Hahahaha then you must see him in real life! He was one of the earlier cast in Superman Return, and a great Dad, you can't help falling in love with his 2 beautiful boys :)))

I just realized he was in Daisy. There he wasn't a bad guy, though he wasn't exactly an effective good guy either, so...

I actually haven't seen him in any villain roles and only in Lawyers of Korea, where he was hot as f*** and so charismatic I hung on his every word. The man is one smoking ajusshi and I want to see him as a leading man again. I hope he plays an awesome character in W&C.
Also I hope W&C's writing does justice to its great cast. I've lost faith in the Hong Sisters in recent years, but there's always hope.

Lee Sung-jae doesn't always play the "baddie", tho he's real good at it (b/c he's a damn fine actor).
Some of his best roles, however, have been as a not so up-and-up character (in terms of profession), but the type you are rooting for.
Kang So-ra really shines in those shots (will be the 1st time I've seen her in anything).

Yoo Yeon Seok and his signature 'tender and full of attention' look always make me feel like ugly sobbing. I love it so much ;____; ♥
And I love Sora's sceptical look towards him too, lol. Ahhhh give me the two pretty people video teasers now, MBC!

IKR? It's more or less two weeks to go for the show's première and they have yet to release a video teaser, nor its posters! ;___;
At least their almost daily updates with new stills appease the impatient me a little, haha. I should stop being impatient but it's hard doing so when it concerns my bias and fav in a rom-com drama together. *____* I keep on wanting moreee~!

I'm excited for this drama to start. I like Kang Sora from Dr. Stranger and looking forward to seeing more of her. Not familiar with the male lead, but he looks cute! :)
