Behind the scenes with Kim Bum in New Caledonia

January 16th, 2009 // by javabeans

Well, the cast of Boys Before Flowers took its working trip to New Caledonia, an island in the South Pacific, back more than a month ago. That means these newly released photos aren’t exactly new, per se, but they are new to us.

Actor Kim Bum posted them on his mini-homepage on the 16th, and the photos show mostly behind-the-scenes shots of Kim while prepping for scenes on the drama.

The hype over Boys Before Flowers is partly a result of audience reaction to the highly anticipated series, but I also think that the production has been very clever in its promotion. Even the lead-up to the drama’s premiere was timed to carefully build anticipation, and rather than release information all at once, they’ve been slowly but steadily releasing information, here and there, in bits and pieces, so as to keep the public’s appetite whetted for more.

In that regard, I think it’s working pretty well. Even though the drama has already begun, they’re making sure to keep interest high in between episodes, even though I’m pretty sure interest would remain high even without doing anything at all. But who am I to complain?

Enjoy.

    i saw the extended preview in youtube of the episodes 5 and six, i’m going crazy about it, i can’t wait, lee min ho is ideal for the rol, hes not the most handsome man in the drama, but he is so manly, tall, tal, tall, jajajajaja, and his acting getting better, i love his smile, he looks like a big baby that needs a woman to take care of him, lol, idont know but he remembers me gong yoo!

  29. 29 jO jO - Jan 17, 2009 at 8:11 am

    What a cutie! He is much better than all the other guys on the show – at least he has some acting skills!

  30. 30 lisa - Jan 17, 2009 at 8:12 am

    He is sooo adorable!
    This F4 is definitely the best looking. Regardless of which country’s show you like best, you can’t deny these boys are fine!

  31. 31 sonam - Jan 17, 2009 at 8:24 am

    I am waiting Kim Bum to grow up. It feels a little illegal to like him right now. He still has that preadolescent baby face.
    @lindes Not only is LMH the handsomest man in the drama he is a very gifted actor. And so charismatic. The best part is he does it all so effortlessly.

  32. 32 Hazel - Jan 17, 2009 at 10:23 am

    Ohh man!!~ He is such a cutie! I really can’t get enough of him.. and look at his clothes!! *swoon*

    Thanks for all the eye candy, Javabeans! :D

  33. 33 Jenn - Jan 17, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Rin, I rather like the polkadotted shirt with suspenders. Its so old school dork, yet really cute on him.

    I first saw him in Boys Before Girls and he really is a cutie. Hope to see more of him.

  51. 51 dae - Jan 24, 2009 at 7:28 am

    i have a question, although this might have been introduced somewhere or sometime just that my memory is the size of a roach (not to sure if they have it bad like me though). Is kim bum the same cute kid in that tv series – rude women? that rookie falling for a separated woman w/a 15yr old kid? wow, just as i expected he would grow up really handsome!
