Wow, Hanbando looks very film-like. Looks like it’s trying to offer something a little different, not terribly excited about it still but it’ll be worth checking out.
Erm, not sure about Goo Hye-sun in anything. Haha!

New to this site, but I’m enjoying it very much!
Have to agree about Hanbando. If I didn’t know it was a drama I would’ve thought I was watching a film trailer.
As for Take Care of Us Captain, at least GHS wasn’t ruffling her hair and shuffling her feet. Errmmm…still gonna pass on that one though.

Oh captain, shower in the trailer? Humm… Trust JJH but not GSH…at all. Moon/Sun, I want to see KSHHHHH! Where is he in the trailer? Honestly, I might pass on this one if HGI fails to deliver her first scene, and I ‘m being patient here. Salaryman eh…another GAINT? Wild Romance , aww…yeah , will check this one! Thanks Blue!

Hi Blue, The Second trailer for ‘The Moon That Embraces The Sun’ has been released. Will you be translating it too? KSH looks young but not too sure about HGI though. She does look younger than her age but ….. Have a look and please tell me your thoughts.
Will you be translating the second teaser for ‘Wild Romance’? This one looks wacky!

Thanks for the heads up! Both trailers have now been added and translated!
Hmm, based on the trailer, HGI doesn’t look too much older than KSH, yeah? In the story, KSH’s character is also supposed to look much younger than his age. That’s one of his difficulties because not only is he a young king, but he is a young king with a baby face. And so it poses a challenge for him to have others (the noblemen in the royal court… and also his grandmother) take him seriously. Which of course is a perfect description of KSH, the actor!

Regarding your description that the King’s character is supposed to look much younger in the book makes the casting now look sensible….

Thank you Blue for KSH’s character description. So he will be a young king. The character that HGI is playing supposed to be 2 years younger than the king. Hopefully she will be able to pull it off. Or I can just imagine that she is older because in olden days, sometimes older brides are chosen so that they can take care of their younger husband. Ha Ha! I am so looking forward to this drama. Hopefully someone somewhere will sub it.

A new drama I’m definitely looking forward to is “Syndrome” (JTBC) with Han Hye Jin! Hope either Blue or Bella would be able to post some recaps of the episodes before the Eng subs come along…
Thanks in advance!!! You ladies are doing such a great service to English speaking Kdrama fans!
