According to Naver, Hwayugi is loosely based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, and the character Bogum is up to play is an analogue of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
Park Bo-gum is offered a role in the Hong Sisters’ upcoming drama Hwayugi. On one hand, yay for more Bogummy! On the other hand, the Hong Sisters have been a bit of a mixed bag in recent years.
Hahaha I was just waiting for someone to make a meme out of this. That moment was just too ridiculous and funny looking. I feel like there could be an entire Giveaway contest just around making memes out of this one picture. x’D
I don’t really like anyone in this drama, so hopefully no one will ruin this drama. I won’t say SSK has the biggest risk to ruin this drama because in fact the rest aside from Im Joo Hwan have equal chance to be underperformed.
I think NJH is always awkward with his co stars, even with LSK during last year MBC Award they looked so model-ish, serious and not cheerful, totally contradict with their characters. lol. So, I am not surprise he and SSK look serious here..
This press conferences are always hilarious, actors look overly serious and a lot awkward, while idols are doing all the talks/smiling.
On Reply 1988 conference it was so obvious, only Hyeri and Mc were talking, boys were just for background
“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.”
The first sentence in a lifetime of magic. Happy 20th anniversary, Harry Potter!
Why do I feel like if Shin Se Kyung and Krystal were not the 2 female leads attached to this Show, if this show wasn’t a remake of a manhwa, if this show wasn’t being clouded by it’s manhwa-into-drama-with-2-meh-actresses-attached-to-it preconceptinos then this Show would be getting so much more love? LOL Oh poor, poor Nam Too Hyuk XD
You’re a doll! Thank you! This actually reminds me of my Myspace days. I used to use HTML codes to customize my profile. I memorized some basic codes. It’s been so long now, so I forgot, but seeing it again now is familiar.
I was gonna say that hahhahaa. I haven’t seen her in anything else but honestly in the trailers she looks kinda stiff. I’ll be watching this for the pretty I guess
She doesn’t have a very expressive face (see: Tree with Deep Roots and Six Flying Dragons) but I did love her in Girl Who Sees Smells. She had a warm, bubbly vibe there that I’d never seen from her before. Doesn’t look like she recaptured that vibe for BotWG.
Ha, tell me how the pretty is and hopefully that’s enough to keep you sticking around! Oh, actually, let’s hope it’ll actually be good. Yeah, that’s better.
And tbh I was almost choked when I read some fans want Krystal to be the main female lead. I don’t know what made they think Krystal is a better actress. lmao
😂😂😂 Rain isn’t so lucky with his recent drama. luckily there was Come Back Ahjusshi which erased this drama from my mind, although CBA had no luck for their rating.
LOL. I don’t want to judge this drama but based on the teasers alone, I can already sense that this will be quite awkward to watch because of the actors. I’m so sorry.
Honestly, my feelings about this drama have not been good ever since they announced the setting change.
