Mercenary prosecutor by day, masked avenger by night
by girlfriday
I’m split on the new posters for Masked Prosecutor — one of them is cute and sassy, while the other is generic and boring and makes Joo Sang-wook look like a doctor. Since you’re embracing the silly comedy, you could put him in his crazy vigilante Nacho Libre mask, but instead you choose that?
At least the one where Kim Sun-ah has him in a headlock is cute. The tagline reads, “You’re the Mask, aren’t you?” while the group poster says: “Let’s not go by the law because it makes me angry!” And the stills feature young actors Noh Young-hak (Jingbirok), Joo Da-young (Age of Feeling), and Choi Sang-min (Superdaddy Yeol) playing the leads in their youth.
In the latest teaser, Joo Sang-wook reveals his shamelessly mercenary cover persona by day: a prosecutor whose only concern when encountering a murder is how high-profile it’ll be and how it’ll further his career. He even sucks up to corrupt prosecutor Eom Ki-joon to get ahead.
All of this drives Kim Sun-ah crazy, naturally, because she’s a righteous detective who’s fueled by getting justice and doing right, and she believes that this joker is the worst excuse for a prosecutor there is.
He starts to show his true (er masked?) face when he takes to the streets to get justice with his fists, then conspicuously tells his detective partner: “I don’t think Mask is the culprit.” You are so going to get caught in record time by her.
Masked Prosecutor premieres next Wednesday, May 20 on KBS.

this mask could speak for the whole drama. why not be creative with a shot of his a** & the mask half tangling out of the back pocket...

Oh that's such a great idea!
I hate when they don't get creative too.

it's a weird looking mask, to me... wish he could look more like Zorro. and yes, your idea is really creative. to have it stick out at the back of his asset.
Gaksital's wasnt bad too. joowon wears a police uniform, standing with his back to viewers, and holding a gun in one hand and the mask in the other. oh well, i guess this MP seems more comedic which is what the genre of this drama is anyway.

I really don't get why people are so bothered about KSA's face. She looks like herself to me. Maybe I'm not so in tune to changes on celebs faces. I think she looks fine. That poster with the headlock totally reminds me of her in Kim Sam Soon, cranky!

Wait, which is it? Does she, or doesn't she, look just the same as KSS? You two really confuse me.
And, is it a compliment or criticism when you say she does or does not look the same in (some or) all of her previous roles?

Ok, what they are saying is that she looks the same, but klava said except for her KSS days since she has lost all that weight and got her teeth straighten. As for me, I've followed her since her city hall days and she just lost weight since then. That's all the difference I see, but that's just me.

DF is calling it Masked Investigator. But I don't think either DF or Viki have receiving licensing.

AHHH! Is it the 20th yet!?
The problem I have with the luchador mask is it hides too much of JSW's lovely face, which is totally unacceptable.

at first I'm disappointed with the poster which I think too ordinary like anyone can do it or Photoshopped it, but I'm laughing after read the words in the headlock poster "“You’re the Mask, aren’t you?" hahaha...yeah2 alright I'm buying it ^_^.
The 2nd poster, despite it's 'yes' cliche everyone looks gorgeous while Uhm Ki Joon looks like cute high school boy haha...is this 'who are you school? or 'orange marmalade'?
Anyway this is just poster, I'm more excited with what will we got in May 20...can't wait ^_^

There's only two character that I always want to Joo Sang Wook to play (1) this kind of role (cunning lady, birth of beauty) (2) and his role in TEN series.

So, the time to make the decision is finally here. Watch this while it's airing or put a gigantic show of self control and wait till it's finished to marathon. Joo Sang Wook what should I do?
