Bad Guy shoots in Jeju Island
by | March 29, 2010 | 57 Comments

Dark melodrama Bad Guy began its shoots in Japan, then relocated to film in Jeju Island. On March 26, the filming location in the city of Seogwipo, Jeju Island, was opened to the media, and a new set of stills has been released. Among planned shoots are those involving paragliding and yacht sailing, while the stills below show the drama’s star Kim Nam-gil in the thick of action as a stuntman. They also include the initial meeting between his character and Han Ga-in‘s, which will air in the first episode.

My interest in this drama has been growing since watching the preview clip, which gives the show a cool, dark edge. Bad Guy has been stirring buzz not only for its cast but also its director, Lee Hyung-min (I’m Sorry, I Love You), and its stylish and artistic look.

The drama is aiming for a May premiere, and is currently in talks with SBS to determine its slot in the schedule.

    I’m not usually one for melodramas. I tend to avoid them like the plague, but I’m really looking forward to this drama!

  2. Alert

    LOVE the first picture. The eyes. oh. the eyes!

    I’m not much into melodrama either (but survive WISFC for GS hehe) but I’ve always loved bad guys (literally), so will give it a try.

  3. belleza

    Just a good ol boy. Didn’t mean no harm. Been in trouble with the law since the day he was born . . .

    YAY BIDAM!!!!

  4. erectus

    is that the guy who won the baeksang new comer award this year? haha.. well, kim jae wok and kim nam gil, girls will love the combo. i agree with all of you guys, everytime i watch melodramas, it really hurts my eyes, my ears, and my emotion. hehe.. but in the end, why do i need to watch more melodramas. im still not done with WISFC and yet, im looking forward to this.

    maaan if i were Han Ga In’s Husband i would get jealous

  6. deannadsc

    I haven’t watched any of Kim Nam Gil’s work yet…kinda curious to watch this cuz I’ve heard only praises about him…

  7. lb_tmi

    i LOVE angst. i love melodramas. i’m SO IN for this…. w/ the exception of Han GaIn.. not impressed with her acting at all, even if she’s pretty to look at.

  8. Leona

    as KNG wasn’t killed by Lee Yo won’s husband while filming QSD …I think he’s behaving nicely with his female co-stars
    On the other hand Han Ga In said in an interview that she’s changing the TV channel when her husband have a romantic scene with his co-star

  9. Kgrl

    Oh, lord, does Nam gil look sexy. Hopefully Han Ga-In doesn’t disappoint this time, I would rather not have to skip or drop the drama all-together this time.

    man the weather looks beautiful there~! as does han gain!

  11. 11 krnkimbap

    oh my… JB you just made my day! I have to go to the dentist in a few hours so I was feeling depressed, but seeing my sexy beast KNG put a stupid grin on my face! Oh those long legs of his… I look forward to drooling over him on my computer screen in May!

  12. 12 jenny

    i saw him in a gay korean movie, and man… those EYES. he was a phenomenal actor there, so i will definitely check this out, as well!

    :)

  13. 13 samsooki

    It’s so odd seeing Bidam wearing denim and a hoodie sweatshirt….

  14. 14 michelle

    Looks like KNG will have to drop out of this project, because that coat is going to swallow him alive.

    Oh, Kim Nam Gil…

    Ugh. I hate having celebrity crushes. Talk about unattainable!

  15. 15 jo

    KNG looks so tasty. yummmyummmmmmmm :)

    @Leona –KNG actually confessed that LYW is his ideal type. Talk about daring..>”<

  16. 16 supah

    Le excited!

  17. 17 momosan

    I’ve always wanted to visit Jeju…..

  18. 18 krnkimbap

    Oh! I just realized he’s wearing the jeans from his print ad for Adhoc, I think~ I just saw his ad in my magazine as I was reading it ! lol~

  19. 19 Leona

    @jo he also said that Lee Young Ae is his ideal tpe….and LYO his professional ideal type(and as woman he really liked the care for her kid)… and these days said something like he’s enjoying work with married women…his daring-politeness drives me crazy…but well I’m not living in Korea..so I don’t know the etiquette

    and God he’s gorgeous in modern outfit…errm I dont like her pants at the waist

  20. 20 hpn88

    I am so pumped for this! That preview and these stills make me want may to get here ASAP!!!

    also Han Ga in (who oddly I have never thought to be that pretty) looks truly cute here? I think its the hair. its works for her.

  21. 21 RunLolaRun

    I am so hyped for this! Please come sooner May!

  22. 22 Leona

    girls and boys don’t be so impatient…The day before(Eve of storm ) will have its premiere on April 1st. Just 3 days until you will have a slice of KNG.. in that movie we’ll have some prison break… some AIDS and, I bet, a lot of angst ( I wonder when I could see it in Europe )

  23. 23 müge

    I’m always attracted by the bad guys, yummy yummy ;)

  24. 24 amhrancas

    This just keeps looking better and better! I think it’ll certainly end up on my “to watch” list. ^_^

    Although, I could swear that in those pictures, Han Ga-In is wearing the exact same jeans I owned in 1992. >.> And here I kept hoping that was one trend which would remain a dead fashion. *tsk*

  25. 25 kaedejun

    hahaha – one of the pics (4th from the top) of KNG makes him look like Kim Ji Seok from afar – and I love how he’s posing so coolly and yet has a bloodstain on his tank…

  26. 26 notoriousnoona

    Kim Nam Gil! Nuf said.
    :)

  27. 27 Summer

  33. 33 april

    so excited for this drama~~~~
    imsorryiloveyou was amazing so i have high expectations for this drama…and of course kim nam gil is a plus :3

  34. 34 Leona

    @april try something like this: KNG is the icing on the cake for this drama

    The way Kim Nam Gil is in Gun-wook’s shoes: he was wearing the same boots at the airport when he arrived from Japan at the beginning of this month

    I start to wonder what else he would do…..? to get into the character….?

  35. 35 ernie

    So weird seeing Kim Nam Gil look so.. well, normal. I think I prefer his long Bi Dam hair. (:

    Probably won’t be tuning into this drama unless my parents decide to watch it.

  36. 36 Bee

    Kim Nam Gil is freakin’ hot!!!! looking forward to this drama.

  37. 37 eclipse

    OK this is official!! I want to stalk this guy forever!! :D This drama is keeping better and better by the day!!

  38. 38 Jonathan

    What hairstyle is that – ahjumma’s with a bow tied behind?..

  39. 39 kdrama

    I just realise that HAN GA IN has a STRONG resemblance to SON YE JIN,

    They look alike,are they twins separated at births??

  40. 40 Asarako

    Kim Nam-gil

    looking HOT!!!!!

  41. 41 Doublen

    I haven’t watch QSD, but I saw KNG in one rediculously stupid drama “When springs comes”. I guess he couldn’t show his acting abilities than cause trailer looks great:) Looking forward:)))

  42. 42 seasonssummer

    Kim Nam Gil oppa!! love the 1st and 4th pic!!i’m so excited to watch this!! kekeek!! i’m melting from KNG’s stare!! :) hot hot hot!!! :)

  43. 43 FEI

    im really looking forward into this drama series since this would hgi’s comeback series after 3years of hiatus.. kng and hgi look good together.. hope hgi’s acting would be better than before.. i have high hopes for her and this drama.. the love triangle is intriguing – hgi-kng-kjw.. i can’t wait to watch this kdrama!!!

  44. 44 niKai

    @41 Doublen…
    you think “when spring comes” ridiculously stupid? wow. i thot it was one of those better dramas out there, along with in-soon is pretty. though, in-soon is pretty is still at the top of my list. lol.

  45. 45 Leona

    @Doublen I’ve seen that drama When the spring comes just because I saw Park Gun Hyung and Kim Nam Gil acting….without translations….and I believed them as prosecutors/lawyers….but when I’ve seen the whole show with eng sub …the lines were horrific…and KNG OTP wasn’t properly written until the end!Rarely a girl will fall in love for the same guy after she dumps him…when a relationship doesn’t work te first time …hardly will work the second time-A woman could come back only if she did that to drive him crazy..but in the movie wasn’t necessary..the dude was already crazy for her.The main OTP-lack of angst….he was like prince charming and she was like the perfect cinderella….and they lived happily ever after…dreamy and perfect….yes…boring yes as well

    But Kim Nam Gil suffering for the girl-this is something worth seeing …waw I would do that without remorse only to see him mad because of me…in fact the only good thing in WSC was KNG’s angst

    On the other hand In South Korea…the lawyers or doctors dramas….errrmmm don’t really have so many ratings….and I think they don’t even bother to write them well..As far as I remember none of this kind of drama was the hit of the year …
    this kind of kdrama have been exceeded by americans with The Closer, Law &Order, CSi Miami…and doctor shows like House M.D, Scrubs, E.R etc..

    Even so I enjoyed When the spring comes as a light afternoon drama… sexy boys….funny father and gandfather….character driven show…etc…overall it is was pretty and sweet

  46. 46 SuperFanGirl

    As much as I love Kim Nam Gil oppa, his hairstyle’s really getting on my nerves. Isn’t it getting a bit too long? I hope he’ll cut it… yeah, I know… well, just a bit, please?

    And, Han Ga-In lloks a bit “plump”, hmm.

    Just my two cents.

  47. 47 Leona

    I love his hair in these pics…looks perrrrfect …but I really hate his conference pictures…with ironed hair all over his face…

    all these amazing dramas. i wonder if i will even have the time to watch them with my finals coming up!!!

  49. 49 Leona

    marathone them after you finals

  50. 50 lettuce

    omo omo omo…. i just realised this is Ji Ahn from Goodbye Solo!! for a long time ignorant me was left wondering about why haven’t I heard more about that impressive handsome actor dude Lee Han. not that I’m complaining about him reinventing himself to a sexy beast with his real name.

    now i don’t mind some moustache… but that hair could use some trimming. i’ll be keeping an eye on the sexy beast’s every move, even if i’m not excited about han ga in.
