Tamna cast members refute dating rumors
Normally, I don’t pay any attention to dating rumors since onscreen couples almost always fuel speculation of offscreen dating, even when they’re groundless. But it’s interesting how the latest rumors of on-set romance include Im Joo-hwan and Seo Woo, whose drama hasn’t even aired yet.
This likely means one thing (okay, one of a few things): The lead couple of MBC’s quirky comedic series Tamna the Island (also spelled “Tamra”) must have some great onscreen chemistry. A more cynical alternative explanation is that the drama is “noise marketing” to add buzz to its premiere this weekend, but I choose to look forward to their chemistry.
A representative from Im Joo-hwan’s management spoke out on the 4th, denying the rumors: “They’re just friends in an oppa-dongsaeng relationship who look after each other on set. They had begun shooting a year ago, and it’s ridiculous to say they’ve been dating since then. As both are relatively new actors, it’s too bad that they’re involved more in dating rumors than in talk of their new project. Were worried that it’ll cast a shadow over the drama’s upcoming premiere.” A representative from Seo Woo’s management issued a similar statement.
Tamna the Island has only been on my radar very recently, but for some reason I find myself looking forward to it. It’s on at an earlier hour (8pm), which makes it more family-friendly fare than MBC’s later prime-time offering, Friend, Our Legend, but it looks offbeat enough to be potentially very entertaining. The first episode airs on August 8.

what are the chances it will get subbed?
I’ve never really found SeoWoo to be too pretty. In fact, she looks too plastic and unnatural. I’m not saying this to hate on her, its just been bothering me. lol
this have a feel of legend of hyang dan, just my opinion. it looks cute and funny and i don’t mind watching younger casts portraying these kind of roles.
they look good as a couple though :p
and im joo hwan is ever so hot <3
wow he’s so tall!!! or maybe she’s so short!
I am loving Im Joo-hwan’s look but the actress looks like a bobblehead in this pic. And her lower lip looks swollen, and a little, um, misshapen? Must be the lighting.Tsk, tsk.
#1, I read Viikii is gonna do it. But I really hope some other subbers are going to do it as well (release it with softsubs). I couldn’t deal watching online *cross my fingers*…
I think they look cute together, but that just might be me : P but yeah, her lower lip is looking a little weird o_0
