Drama Casting & News
Behind the scenes with Kim Bum in New Caledonia
by | January 16, 2009 | 96 Comments

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.

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

  29. 29 lisa

    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!

    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.

  31. 31 Hazel

    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

  32. 32 Jenn

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

    kim bum is so nice next time you go to korea you should visit him!
    well maybe you cant but i can because my cousin’s cousin is the producer so yay!

  49. 49 dae

    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!
