Spend Christmas with Romantic Island

Romantic Island finally makes it to the big screen. It was first announced as I Feel Happy (or I Feel Lucky), and while name changes are common, that was almost a year ago and I was starting to wonder what was up with the movie. All the actors had gone on to work on other projects — multiple projects for some — but now here they are, promoting the movie to be released in time for Christmas season. (The movie opens Christmas Eve.)

The plot of Romantic Island is described a bit whimsically: “To shed the tiresomeness of everyday reality, four strangers head to the island of Borocay, where dreams turn into reality, and experience a romance fluttering with excitement.”

The cast features Lee Seon-kyun (Coffee Prince), Lee Soo-kyung (Lawyers of Korea), Eugene (Three Dads, One Mom), and Lee Min-ki (Mixed-up Investigative Agency). The four seemed to have a fun at the production press conference on November 24.

 
I love when casts seem to genuinely get along, and it seems like these four had an entertaining time talking to the press.

I’d probably hate Lee Soo-kyung’s dress on the rack, but she looks happy and adorable (and tall). It’s difficult to tell in these pictures, but it also appears that both Lee Soo-kyung and Eugene are sporting Louboutins. (*Is jealous.* Because while I could care less about designer clothes and handbags, shoes are, well, shoes. They belong in the category with chocolate and frolicking puppies and lolcats of things that make you automatically feel better no matter the circumstances.)

Am also digging Lee Seon-kyun’s skinny tie and sneaker combo. The strait-laced straight man goes (ever so slightly) hipster-esque! But not so far as to make him douchey. (Which is key.)

Still: Lee Min-ki, I know you’re going for the quirky iconoclast slot in your generation of young actors, but what the heck did you kill and put around your neck? Also, skinny jeans are a blight on mankind, I tell you — and while they’re bad enough on women, they’re worse on men. Especially fedora-wearing men who pair the jeans with furry neck muffs. And three-quarter-sleeve shirts, which may or may not be buttoned properly. Are you a hot rising actor, Min-ki, or Liza Minnelli?

Oh I wondering when this was going to come out, I've heard about it for so long, I almost thought it had already come out and I had somehow missed it.

I think Lee Min-ki's look works for him, he's always been a bit left of centre, him and Eugene are adorable. Very cute in I Really Really Like You.

hahaha...you hit the nail on the head, Javabeans: Lee Min-ki DOES have a Liza Minelli vibe going!

Lee Seon-kyun looks fabulous, as usual. (the only bad picture I've seen of him was his 'fro my goodness pic.)

Javabeans, you have made me smile this morning and now I go off to face the world with a smile on my face. Thanks!!

Eugene and Lee Minki should go off by themselves and make perfect looking, oddly dressed babies sometime soon.

Anyyone got to see the event LIVE? I was lucky enough to get to "hear" the entire event live (it was an hour long event). But unlucky me, my feed kept buffering at the SBS website thanks to my bandwith hogging brother, yet the audio played fine.

At one point at the event, as Min Ki was speaking, it seemed the audience was laughing at whatever he had to say (maybe that's why in some of the photos we see Eugene's and Lee Soo Kyung's reaction as well)

I have to agree with kk, I personally think the look works for him. I also love the accessories adorning his hands and wrists (is that a black mouse or cat pinky ring he has on?). I wish I could take a closer look at his fingernails too...just to see what design is on them.

Check out Min Ki's 2009 calendar...he's dressed up as Elvis, Marilyn Manson, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, The Sex Pistols, David Bowie (?), The Doherty (?), Rolling Stones, etc. He sure loves rock! One of his first stops in Japan last year right before his 1st fan meeting, was a store to get something for his guitar.

Can't wait for the production briefing for Oishii Man in January 2009.

And don't forget fellow Min Ki fans living around the San Francisco area...he's heading there today/tomorrow!

Seeing Eugene is one of "...the things that automatically makes me feel better no matter the circumstances!" That Min-Ki is one lucky guy to keep ending up in so many places where the beautiful scenery is enhanced by her addition to it.

Good post, I like your writing style! I've added http://dramabeans.com/ to my feed reader, and will be reading your posts from now on. Just a quick question - did you design your header image yourself, or have it done professionally? If you had it done by a professional, who was it?

BTW, love Lee Seon-kyun's look. A little bit like Andy Summers when he was in the Police. If Loveholic's story was adapted into a Korean drama, he would be my pick to play Kang Hyun Min.

hehe! i remember I was there during their pressconference and I kept wondering when they are going to show it.

Lee Min Ki looked weirder then and he towered over all of us since most Filipinos are really vertically challenged. :D

Hope it will be shown in the Philippines.
