Cast promos for MBC drama Hero
October 20th, 2009 // by javabeans
We’ve seen the cast of upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama Hero posing separately (Kim Min-jung, Lee Junki, Eom Ki-joon), and now they pose together as three newspapermen and one police officer.
The new cast promo photos feature, from left to right, Eom Ki-joon (Job Well Done), Baek Yoon-shik (Jeon Woo Chi), Lee Junki (Iljimae), and Kim Min-jung (Strike Love). The one below also includes actress Shin Joo-ah (Hey Hey Hey 2).
The posters were shot on the 17th at MBC’s Dream Center studio in Ilsan. The drama’s cast also includes Lee Han-wi, Jang Seok-yong, Jung Soo-young, and Ji Chang-wook. It premieres November 11 after a shortened run for Heading to the Ground.

I don’t really like profession-based drama, and the photos doesn’t look very interesting..
I like Lee Junki, but this seem utterly boring so I’ll be skipping it.
Ahhh so this is why her hair cut looks boyish… she is playing sort of a tomboy.
Okay, I love Junki and all, but his posing is absolutely hilarious and totally unsuitable for the cast photo – because he’s supposed to be playing a beat reporter – not Derek Zoolander.
My attempt at captioning his poses:
Pic 1: Hey girl, I’m looking at you….
Pic 2: So, you think I’m sexy?
Pic 3: Well, I can be sexy…and cute, see?
Pic 4: It’s so hard to be this good looking, I”m tired now, go away.
On the other hand, KMJ looks much better with a casual cop getup, rather then the turtleneck librarian look she sported in the earlier picture. Looking forward to this, but have very low expectations.
I’m not excited about this drama at all.. I like lee jun ki, but these photos and the story don’t seem very nice ..
Lee Junki is really cute. Drama seems interesting enough, I hope JB recaps.
@ockoala LOL at your captions!
there is something about these pictures that makes me think this drama is going to be hilarious and quirky- a bit like the Evasive Inquiry Agency or Romance Zero
This is not what I expected of this drama, but Junki looks cute. I’m looking forward to this one. Hope it doesn’t disappoint me like My Fair Lady or Triple did. I kinda learned not to keep hopes up for any drama..
Other than Junki, the rest of the cast look uninteresting and boring. Also, the white background is unflattering.
The promo shots for Style looked better than this.
Junki is the only one changing expressions each time… everyone else seems pretty flat :S
@ockoala: you are so right, a little too much flamboyance going on there Junki.
Oh dear, oh dear — could the promos have made this drama appear any more boring and flat than it already seems? Maybe any forthcoming trailer will do it some justice. The female lead Kim Min-jung has the same pose in all three pics, the same lame pose.
I am holding out faint hope that Lee Junki, with his seemingly astute ability to pick solid quirky roles, did not make a mistake here.
Everybody is doing a variation of the same pose, how creative……..
Am I the only one who likes the posters? Looks fun and humorous. Very tongue in cheek.
I am fed up those posters where everyone’s decked up like for a fashion show. These guys look real!
junki’s character in this drama is a funny person. so he pose like that i think. There’re some more individual poster coming out which i think he looks so lovely. but agree that other cast pose same action in every pictures.
wish to see more trailer !!!
@ ockoala – ROFL at your captions!
Quirky and hilarious – this cast is definitely capable of delivering that….can’t wait.
They should of made this interesting by placing the main male lead in a curse, which turns him into a 9 year old boy.
He would have to investigate crimes as this boy, and the main female lead won’t know that the main male lead has turned into a boy.
Who am I kidding… this cast looks like they belong in Detective Conan.
@ Nom_Kitteh: I almost thought the three pictures were all the same as everyone had the same/similar expression/pose! I only realized they were different because of Junki’s pose…
I still look forward to the drama… for Junki~ <3
Lee Jun Ki looks like Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam in You’re Beautiful.
Yeah, it does seem like Junki is the only one trying to do something, anything, animated in those posters (hence how awesomely out of place he looks placed next to everyone else).
However, let’s all remember our collective *ewwww, wahhhh???” reactions to the greasy fairi-esque You’re Beautiful posters, and how pleasantly surprised we all were that YB is so awesome. Open mind, I am keeping for Hero…..
>.< This is so not what I thought this drama was going to be. I was kind of looking forward to it since it had Lee Jun Ki, but Han Ji Min dropped out and the story seems boring.
@ Ruby
I got that feeling too! I thought that she would have made a better “boy” than Park Shin-Hye, if this was one of those cross-dressing things. Which it could turn out to be, I suppose, with an undercover operation.
whoa.. i am waiting for the respons of the drama
leejunki and kim min junk are look alike !! (though leejunki is more cute kekeke)
i will not expect much from drama but will definitely watch it. Having high anticipating will cause me disappointed like i did for BOF, Goong, Coffee prince, Hong Gil Dong etc. I personally like leejunki’s acting and have a good impression from all his dramas, Iljimae and Time between dog and wolf which are so great and became my most favourite korean dramas!! Anyway, he was still overact in comedic scenes in Iljimae but i believe he will improve himself in HERO.
Yeah… the promo pics are not interesting at all…
And then they add the table to make it ’spiffier’ but then Shin Joo-ah is standing (or ‘posing’) BEHIND THE TABLE!! It totally looks like some random staff person just happened to wander into the shoot! Or photoshopped in!
Will watch “HERO” even if it’ll turn out to be the most boring drama…but I know that it won’t be because of JUN KI…I really don’t care about the story line…all I care is that I can watch Jun Ki.Anything is bearable for Jun Ki’s sake.Besides,I’ve never been disappointed in him before.
Can’t wait for this drama and and I hope to meet him here in Japan again.I count myself lucky to have seen him up close.He’s the most sincere celebrity I’ve met so far and the most caring to his fans..
Ganbatte Oppa!!!
Till we meet again…
Wow I couldn’t be less interested in this drama if I tried…
Not terribly interested…….but there is Eom Ki-joon..
I will watch Hero because of Jun Ki but I don’t like these kind of photo.
So boring, not interesting and the mail female character Kim Min-jung looks like a teenagers with a dupe face ;__;
I really hope this drama do no disappoint me.
i actually like professional-based plots o wtv, alot of dramas i like are like that (partner, lawyers of korea, on air), so i will REALLY be looking forward to this
Nah, boring boring boring.
They just look like they’re posing for a camera-shot… none of them make any connection whatsoever.
@ 21 ockoala
Agree with you that LJK looks totally out of place. Bleh~
I hope this is not another MFL. All hype but nothing after.
Lee Jun Ki deserved so much better then this. i hope The Drama will succeed.
Love Lee Jun Ki. !!!!!!!
i don’t like the poster……..
Why judge a drama by its poster?I don’t get it…perhaps you go ahead and make your own and post it…
I’m not targeting anyone,merely stating my opinion like everybody else…..
Doesn’t Lee Junki in these photos look like Go Minam from You’re beautiful??? Maybe it’s the haircut…
I love EKJ, but this is the second time in a roll he’s in sth I have no interest in… I guess I can’t be his fangirl yet.
gah! lee joonki’s so hott….
Though the promotion pictures for this show don’t look all that interesting. Still, I am going to give this drama a chance, since I’m a big Lee Jun Ki fan !
LOL at ockoala:
Captions:
Pic 1: The glasses say Starcraft, but the tailored suit says Mad Men.
Pic 2: With Edge? Please. I have so much Style, I make this office chair hot.
Pic 3: Oooh selca time selca time!! *makes kissy faces* *Lee Jung Ki fangirl nation squees!!*
Pic 4: You mean the part went to Park Shin Hye? Now I’m STUCK with this haircut???
“not Derek Zoolander.”
Speaking of Zoolander, I heart You’re Beautiful!!
LOL… don’t judge the story based on photo
like BOF … so boring but?????? after this … succesfull
awwww,Jun Ki’s sooo cute in the poster!!
I definitely watch this drama coz of JUN KI…no interest w/ the other characters…my eyes are only for JUN KI!!!
There,spoken like a true fangirl….woop.woop!!!
[...] than its artwork. Because I think most of us agree that the artwork for the drama (such as the official promo photos and some of its behind-the-scenes stills) is looking a bit [...]
