Sneaking good luck charms in Lucky Romance’s first teaser

by girlfriday

The first teaser for MBC’s new romantic comedy Lucky Romance is out, and it kinda makes me think that Hwang Jung-eum is playing the same character she usually plays in rom-coms, and Ryu Joon-yeol is playing his Answer Me 1988 character again. I’m sure that won’t actually be the case in the drama, but they are playing to type — she’s a little zany and he’s implacable in his gruffness. On the upside, they do it well, and I think they’re going to be very cute together.

The new Wednesday-Thursday drama is based on a webtoon about a heroine obsessed with fortunes and luck, who’s told she has to bed a man born in the year of the tiger in order to change her bad fate. It’s unclear how much of that original premise they’re going to keep in the drama adaptation, but in the teaser Ryu Joon-yeol has a little stuffed tiger sitting on the edge of his park bench, so I’m thinking she’ll still be after him for his, um, tiger.

Ryu Joon-yeol’s character has been changed from the webtoon, to be a geeeenius engineer and CEO of a gaming company. He’s all about formulas and science, which I’m sure will make him turn up his nose at the heroine’s superstitious ways. Lee Soo-hyuk (Neighborhood Hero) and Lee Chung-ah (Vampire Detective) will play their first loves — he’s a tennis pro and she’s his agent, and they’ll be rivals for Hwang Jung-eum and Ryu Joon-yeol’s affections.

The teaser doesn’t have any dialogue, but Hwang Jung-eum is pretty adorable about approaching her crush in the park. He clearly doesn’t think much of her, and you can read the embarrassment and disappointment and excitement on her face. But we see that she’s managed to stick a talisman on his back before scurrying away, which will hopefully start working its magic on him, and on us.

Lucky Romance follows Goodbye Mr. Black and premieres May 25.

THAT STYLING! THAT HAIRCUT

You're baaaack Kim junghwan, my love, my poor misunderstood marshmallow with a heart of gold <3 so sad he's in his 30s and still a grumpy virgin. That sullen glower is cute as a button though. Too bad he traded the air force for a gaming company lol. Wish Jungeum was styled differently. She's such a sexy lady, but that haircut makes her look like his older cousin (or gasp! A spinster aunt).

Their twin haircuts crack me up BUT HJE looks better with short hair anyway so it's fine, lol.

But oh my heart, #teamjungpal. I'm here as your ride our die. Even if this drama flops (which I just don't see it doing tbh) I'll still be here to catch you haha.

I don't know why, maybe her hair, maybe her face expressions, it reminds me of Can You Hear My Heart. I adored that drama and Hwang Jung-eum. Plus Ryu Joon-yeol, it's just like heaven for me.

LOL, I love DB's consist use of "geeeenius" when describing these ridiculously perfect male leads.

I don't care if RYJ is gruff, I just hope he's nicer to her in the beginning than the male lead in SWP.

Oooh I adore Park Seo-joon so much and I thought it's so brave of him to take that role in She Was Pretty because he managed to make me want to kick his character in the first few episodes despite my love for him. I really hope Ryu Joon-yeol's character this time around won't be that bad.

Anyway I'm still looking forward to watching this drama. May please come faster ♥

Too dry?? These kids don't know what they're missing out on.

Although it says he's a gaming company's CEO so I guess it's all software engineering. No nuts and bolt and high powered spinning machines... :(

I'm excited about this drama and can't wait to see how it will turn out but gosh I wish we could skip that part:

" Lee Soo-hyuk (Neighborhood Hero) and Lee Chung-ah (Vampire Detective) will play their first loves — he’s a tennis pro and she’s his agent, and they’ll be rivals for Hwang Jung-eum and Ryu Joon-yeol’s affections."

The actors are not the problem (I really like them), but can we have a drama without rivalry and love triangle, please? How this subplot is still used so often?

This looks cute. I like the idea of the woman throwing herself at the man. Reminds me of Oh My Ghostess which I loved.

I just hope HJE can keep her acting toned down as she tends to go SUPER overboard in comedies. But once she calms down she is a good actress.

Ugh, adorable. This pairing was such a surprise! I feel like I'm going to adore them to bits. I'm probably getting ahead of myself and setting myself up for disappointment. But I figure since I have this, Entertainer, Dear My Friends, and Oh Hae Young Again to look forward to, at least one of them is bound to be good right? (Please don't tell me I just jinxed all of these.)

I'm definitely more behind Hwang Jung-eum romancing Ryu Joon-yeol than I am behind Ji Sung romancing Hyeri. But, romance aside, I'm actually equally excited for both dramas.

I'm happy to see KBS doing so well with DoTS, if only because it had so many of my underrated favorites in the last 2 years, but looks like I'm already looking forward to a ratings shake-up. Who knows, though, God of Noodles could surprise us all by becoming the sensation of the year. ROFL, imagine it surpassing DoTS.

The teaser is cute. Well, I actually don't mind another Junghwan-like character... I just hope there is no revenge, birth secret, mean future father/mother in law, amnesia, alzheimer, or cancer in the story... Too bad we can't get away from first love...

I thought the same thing when I watched it, that it looked like the same character they played before. Maybe they should have changed Junghwan I mean Jun Yeol's hair a little.

Though I'm thinking maybe because there's no dialogue and obviously no story yet. I hope the drama will be good! I love RJY!

This is up against the Ji Sung and Hyeri one right? And the teaser for that drama was really cute too! The ratings game should be interesting to see. Go RJY! ^^

I'm just giddy with excitement that the leads for Answer me 1988 and Kill Me Heal Me (my favourite dramas watched in 2015) will be starring opposite each other for the new dramas!

Aaahhh...the floating petals look so pretty in the teaser. 2016 promises to be gold!! >u<
