by | December 30, 2009 | 28 Comments

KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama God of Study, which features a young cast of underperforming students at a last-place high school, has released its official promos. Featured are Kim Su-ro and Bae Doo-na playing teachers, while the five motley youngsters who join in a special college-prep class are, from left to right in the above poster, Lee Chan-ho, Ji-yeon, Yoo Seung-ho, Go Ah-sung, and Lee Hyun-woo. (Refer to this earlier post for more detailed character descriptions.)

The drama is based on Japanese series Dragon Zakura and kicks off on January 4, which is a competitive night — a grand total of four kdramas will be premiering their first episodes then, three of them simultaneously. First is SBS’s Pick the Stars, then following in the usual 10pm prime-time hour will be Jejoongwon (SBS), God of Study (KBS), and Pasta (MBC).

    I read that the team who produced the OST for You’re Beautiful is making this one too! Boo to the yah! T-Max is doing the opening theme which I’m not too opposed to since I loved Paradise despite its overuse.

    Very interesting. I hope it’s as good and motivating as the original. I mean when I watched DZ I wanted to study like crazy.

  4. Sonam

    I love BDN.
    2010 is looking good. But I have already decided I am going to be easy going and not foam at the mouth if I don’t like the leading lady. Now praying fervently HYS improves.

    I can’t wait until January 4th! A whole new batch of dramas…

  6. littletwinkle

    I remember considering watching Dragon Zakura but decided not to. Maybe now I should go back and catch some of the original. This drama looks like something to definitely check out.

    Ah, another January drama! Which is a nice way to start off the year~

    This drama seems like it will be fun, but I seriously have to keep my exceptions low…. which is hard when you’re a huge fan of the original and it’s filled with a pretty good cast set… *sigh*

    ….Jiyeon’s mirror….

    I wonder if Jiyeon will have any lines or if she will be seen holding her mirror in every scene…..

    Dragon Zakura is the only Jdorama I finished watching! The whole cast is so good, most esp. Abe Hiroshi!!! Hope the Korean version will be as good, and I hope the guy who will play Hiroshi’s role will do the role justice…..

  9. Nokcha

    Bae Doo Na and I’m sold…….

  10. 10 melica

  11. 11 Vico

    Agree with Nokcha, will check this out for Bae Doo-na

    Ooh I love how in the first poster, Bae Doona is behind Go Ahsung. And in the second one she’s looking at her. HAHAHA. I love them two. And this is the third time their together after Beating Heart and The Host. YESSS!

  13. 13 Anna :D

    YOO SEUNG HO MY LOVE <3333

    and i'm not stalkerish cause we're both 16.

  14. 14 cheekbones

    Yeah, Kim Su-ro and Bae Doo-na. Yoo Seung-ho is a bonus, and from the posters it looks like it’s gonna be fun ! Besides, I haven’t watched the dorama, so it might help in enjoying the korean version.

  15. 15 orangemania

    I think i’ll pass on this one. I really enjoyed Dragon Zakura and Abe Hiroshi is such a great actor, i find hardly anyone can redo his roles better than him. but the lead guy sure looks cute <3

  16. 16 obivia

    Bae Doona and Kim Suro!? YAY.
    Can’t wait.

  17. 17 T

    YOO Seung HO!!!!! WooHoo!!! Can’t wait!

  18. 18 phie

    God of Study Trailer:

    Kinda looks like it may take off the manga more than the TV show. The teacher’s motorcycle background is more pronounced here. Also, it looks like they’re something Abe Hiroshi’s “modern teacher-as-samurai” posturing, which he did in the teacher role to great effect.

    But the biggest thing. Hmm, looks like they’re going to let Bae Doo Na “Bae Doo Na” (in other words, let her inner freak come out.) Oh God I hope so.

  22. 22 cph

    I will watch this drama for 1 reason… Bae Doo Na <3

  23. 23 Nano

    Ooh…I hope it can be as good as the original Dragon Zakura. I wonder if the main lead can match up to Abe Hiroshi….
    Anyways, it seems like Yoo Seung Ho’s role is getting a bit too overrated. The person who’s supposed to be the central attention in this drama is the teacher.

  24. 24 rebbie

    weee~ yah. that’s only your opinion but YSH is too great because he can act this role fo a young age. (he’s one year older than me.) I like his movies very much . when i first see him in THE LEGEND as young dam deok. i think he can do it in the best way. GO ! GOD OF STUDY !

  25. 25 mayadee

    I’m sooooo gonna watch this. I’m a sucker for high school drama like this. woo-hoo! I hope it’s gonna rock!

  26. 26 YOOyu

    Yaaaaaaaaaay,I wish the casts is more matured like highschool seniors like in ET the movie which Minho is one of the lead…………..I’ll be passing this one..too young for my taste.

  27. 27 lee ahm nah
