Chae Jung-ahn in the Hot-Blooded Salesman

Finally, news of a new KBS weekend drama! (The historical series Iron Empress has occupied the slot for many months, and is finally heading to its close. I, for one, am happy to see another contemporary offering take its place.)

The show to take that prime-time slot in October is called Hot-Blooded Salesman [열혈장사꾼], and stars Chae Jung-ahn (Cain & Abel, Coffee Prince), Park Hae-jin (East of Eden), and Choi Chul-ho (Partner, Queen of Housewives).

The story is set in the world of car dealerships and sales. In the drama, Chae Jung-ahn plays a car dealer who is so successful that she is called “Goddess Kim”; she may seem elegant on the outside but harbors (naturally) pain on the inside. Park Hae-jin also plays a car salesman.

The topic makes me think of the sleazy image car dealers have in the States (and brash comedies like The Goods), but this project is described as being a drama with a human touch that still takes a serious look at this world and the fierce competition within it. A source from the production explained, “On the outside the story is about car sales, but you could also say that on the inside it’s a story about life, and as the main character Ha Ryu [Park Hae-jin] matures and progresses, you’ll root him on and be able to be cheered by this drama.”

With the director of Kingdom of the Wind (Ji Byung-heon) at the helm, I’ll be expecting strong visuals; he said, “I want to make a drama that will encourage the people who are hanging in there in these difficult times.” On the story front, this is another adaptation taken from the work of Park In-kwon, the creator of the manhwa War of Money, on which the SBS drama was based, as well as the original Hot-Blooded Salesman manhwa.

Hot-Blooded Salesman premieres on October 10.

I almost thought it was a new historical drama because of that katana she's wielding! I haven't seen Chae Jung-ahn and Park Hae-jin in action, but the pictures look good.

I'm going to check it out if only to find out why she is is wielding the sword.

Sword = Buy my cars or die.

Or it could just be her hobby to get rid of her "pain" that she harbors.

Oh well, the show seems interesting, but not that exciting.

Probably a mise-en-scene, like a visual imagination of chae jung ahn as a car saleslady. I wanna see the drama, Empress Chun Chu was too long!

Yay :) Chae Jung Ahn is finally in a drama again. I liked her in Coffee Prince, even though I know there were some criticisms on her acting. She does pull off the elegant look very well, so I'm interested in seeing how she will portray the internal pain.
This drama reminds me of the various Hong Kong movies about car dealers which also doubled as drug dealers. I wonder if it might turn into something like that....^^

It's funny how they always give an "excuse" for their outer personality. She's a B, but deep down she has a heart of gold ..kind of thing. It doesn't really help that 80% of their screen time is showing us their bithcy side. lol

That's what I get of her character from the pictures only though. There were some on soompi. She appears way too arrogant.

Forget Queen Seon Dok; I'm all about Queen Hyundai!!

Ugh. Even if this is an adaptation of a Park In-kwon manhwa and even if this is a semi-realistic adaptation (and I'm glad Park Hae Jin has officially become a lead), I just can't watch carsalesmen. It's like watching Jumong: Prince of Strippers.

I'm so glad to see Park Hae Jin get a leading role. He was the only good thing in EOE, and I love him in Family Outing. Is the new drama going to clash with his Family Outing schedule?
