Oh man, and I needed a laugh today. Official posters are out of golf drama Birdie Buddy, and, well, to put it frankly: They look just a little ridiculous. Oh, the one above featuring UEE (You’re Beautiful) doesn’t look too strange, but this scenario is what is oft-referred to in the Fug universe as a “scrolldown fug.” As in, you start out thinking, “Hm, not SO bad,” until you keep scrolling down to see increasing levels of ridiculousness.
Like, for example, Lee Yong-woo (Style) as a capoeira-practicing golfer in mid-swing sporting some awkward-looking dreadlocks. And then there’s Lee Da-hee (of Air City, not to be confused with Chuno‘s Lee Da-hae) posing with a golf club wearing a miniskirt and sequins.
In the drama, UEE plays the golfer from humble origins who grew up in the countryside of Gangwon-do. She contrasts with the upper-class golfing prodigy played by Lee Da-hee, who grew up privileged (hence the sparkly clothing?) and had access to all the best lessons and golf courses. (Oh, I bet Seo Ji-hye is thanking her lucky stars she dropped this one and opted instead for the epic sageuk Kim Suro.)
Birdie Buddy is currently in the midst of filming in Gangwon-do, and will air in the summer.

OMG. You hit the nail right on the head JB! I’m pretty sure the only korean guy who can pull off dreads is So Jisup… And maybe/hopefully these posters were aiming for the ridiculous? Otherwise they’re just plain fug. LOL.
Lee Da Hee is really pretty. Too bad I’m still not interested. Good luck to them.
You’re Beautiful posters were ridiculous as well so I’m not gonna let the quality of the poster bother me! And UEE is superb at acting despite the fact that she’s a novice.
I think the photoshopper didn’t like arms…check out Ue’s left arm it’s barely there, plus the chick on the bottom has a very twig like right arm as well. (& Yes those dreads look awful…like they were wigged ontop of his very short hair from Style xD…what ever happened to doing it with “edge”?)
his hair needs to go.
golfing with shorts and dress? What were they thinking?
“And then there’s Lee Da-hee (of Air City, not to be confused with Chuno’s Lee Da-hae) posing with a golf club wearing a miniskirt and sequins”.
Certainly no worse than what Venus Williams was wearing at the French Open.
i think he cuts those dreads later on cause he was recently in a music video and he shaved the sides off lol
wtheck is wrong with one of the guy’s eyes?!?!
rofl.
“You’re Beautiful posters were ridiculous as well so I’m not gonna let the quality of the poster bother me!”
You have a point. The YB poster of the actors like angels was what made me put off watching the drama until I had absolutely nothing to do months later. I ended up loving the show. But honestly, Birdie Buddy looks and sounds so…dumb. I have zero interest in it.
HAHAHAHAHHA THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
Those dreads…LOL. That wig looks like it’s going to fall off his head at any second.
completely confident that this drama will not be successful (under the 15% margin) :
1) cheesy
2) based on golf
3) typical characters which strive for success/wealth
4) THE DREADLOCKS, totally kills any eyecanday…
Uh… does ANYBODY play golf wearing that? Even UEE, whose clothing is MOST normal, looks like she couldn’t hit a golfball for her life.
This is ridiculous. I really have no interest in this drama… except for amusing posters(:
what are you talking about jb? i always play golf in dreadlocks, a leather jacket, and sparkly sequin top. is that not the norm?
this is uhm. something i would never pick up in my to-watch list. never. yikes!
@16 sl: Oh, only the people in the wonderful world of K-dramas where as long as it’s entertaining, expect anything to happen. But hey, some dramas need to be watched for it’s entertainment values to have fun. Some dramas you can critique seriously, and others you hang on to have a blast poking fun at it’s oh so obvious faults ;D
I hate bringing up other dramas and make ridiculous comparisons, but perhaps since I just watch Pro Golfer Hana, I’m praying this drama will be much different.
Oh, the photos look cheesy. But I love cheese.
…
Yeah, that was so………………….
But seriously, it’s been a while since we got a 100% LOL so-very-bad-yet-so-very-addicting drama. I’m leaving the door open for Birdie Buddy.
Even the Korean title is funny. Beo-di Beo-di doesn’t sound much like Birdy Buddy, but it’s so fun saying beo-di beo-dI~ It’s weird, but when you say 10x….. heheh. (Ah, I’m such a weirdo).
Well, can’t judge by posters.. although I don’t think I’ll be tuning in for this drama.
lol…
even so… if i have time, i might just try the 1st ep… hahahaha
hmn… was never fascinated with golf anyways. Will pass this one.
Well… in Lee Yong-woo’s defense. In the original comic, the guy did have some dreadlocks for hair. Maybe k-dramas should stop being based off goofy manwha/manga.
Oh man…. o , 0
Lee YongWoo was hot in Style and I’d like to keep it that way. Un-taint me, please. (* , *)
Shouldn’t this drama be called “Buddy Buddy”? I don’t get it.
I think I shall pass on this drama. Uee is one note one look to me. I don’t even understand how she got the lead! Oh well, on to the next one.
The dreads! I don’t like dreads in general but these just look awful and terrible. Lee Da-hee’s outfit isn’t ugly, but isn’t it inappropiate for golfing? Hmm, still wondering about this drama because I want to see UEE in a different role after watching You’re Beautiful, but I won’t keep my hopes too high.
Man…JB you have a point. I don’t get it… are they playing golf or tennis…the way they hold the golf club is a little bit weird…the posting, color, the background of the posters… well don’t even want to go there…
hahahaha! hanabi has a point though – you’re beautiful had weird looking posters too! i remember you called them froofy!! =D (which is an awesome word)
but yes – this definitely brings a smile to my face after a very stressful evening – so i’m glad you posted these! they actually make the drama look fun!
too bad lee da hee’s pose is maaaaaaaaaad boring.
I’m currently watching Japanese drama Pro Golfer Hana starring Kato Rosa, and as Biscuit has mentioned…Birdie Buddie seem to have a similar storyline with Pro Golfer Hana, where poor girl (Kato Rosa) with debt become a professional golfer to save her family pay off the debt and she had the strong love of her golf from her dad, and there’s another girl (katase nana) who’s rich and privileged who competes with her to be a pro golfer against her.
I hope its a bit different but then again, we’ll just have to see how it turns out..
Thanks for posting!
I have 1 word: LOL
I cant believe I am saying this but out of all 3 people, I think UEE looks super cute and nice! what is wrong with Lee Yong-woo’s hair and Lee Da-hee’s clothing, she look like she is going clubbing later
remove the dreads from the guy and put them on that bored-looking girl then maybe I’ll watch this drama.
Oh and is the drama going to be on SBS or KBS?
How bad could it be? I’m hoping it’ll be comic book funny, like some jdoramas…
Wondering how I’ll be putting up with Lee Yong Woo’s look though… His pic gave me some serious LOLz!!
I cringed by the last one….really bad styling. The dreads have to go…tsk tsk
i really do wanna simply check this one out simply for the heck of it despite the fact that my plate is sooo damn full of dramas…ill drop it if it turns out to be bad…so does anyone have any idea wen this might air??…yea the poster are cheesy …and aah the dreads…not a hairstyle that can be sported and pulled off by anyone. and it def doesnt do much good here bt thumbs up to lee yong woo for giving it a try…nw they better give him a makeover aftr a couple of eps or im definitely dropping!!
HA. Haha. Hahahahahah.
So actually these posters look so hilarious I’m actually tempted to catch the premiere. I was looking forward to seeing UEE onscreen again anyway, this seems like a good opportunity. She looks quite cute here, actually, and I really enjoyed watching her in YB.
As for LYW and LDH…at first I thought he was wearing a fuzzy cap. I thought, why would anyone wear a fuzzy cap while golfing? But no, that’s his hair. Oy.
LDH looks fine from head to waist until you catch a glimpse of the golf club. Which equates to WTF? Does not compute.
Anyway I’m looking forward to it. Shoot me, but I am.
I love UEE, but those posters are very boring.
wth?! Hahahaha
I play golf and… oh my god.
This is just awkward LOL
I’m not too interested in this drama though.
Whoaaa…I feel like drinking Gatorade after seeing all these splashy posters.
Okay, not to make fun of Korean (it actually fascinates me a lot, grammar construction, characters, basically, I’m in love with it) but the title spelling in Korean has no difference. I just noticed it nao. Awesome.
But the posters and the dreadlocks? DNW.
They do realize there are dress codes on the green, right?
Who am I kidding. They thought dreadlocks on that guy look believable.
When will Korea ever do sports dramas justice?
one thing OMG are you serious his hair! lol
@5, Well now that you pointed that out, it does look like Uee has a wooden arm. haha
Normally, I love dreds. Normally I love leather jackets. Normally I hate golf.
These posters make me feel not normal. Except for the hating golf. I still hate golf.
oh, and i know enough korean that i can recognize the subtitles have different letters. what are the subtitles saying? my mind is imagining like, 1950s soap advertisements.
@44… I seriously don’t think they’ll dress like that when they’re actually golfing.
those dreads
and the cut on the side of the head
what was the hairdresser thinking
it looks fugly
im sure when you have those dreads
every part of your hair looks ugly
he doesn’t even look that part
even so ji sub could do a better looking model
anyway
does anyone think uee looks like a typical chinese girl in that photo
she has the round cheeks, big eyes etc etc
if i didn’t know she was korean
i would have thought she was chinese or something
