by | June 17, 2010 | 48 Comments

Sometimes, you don’t need words when a simple image would suffice. Am I right? (Behold, a picspam post!)

Road No. 1, which has already completed 100% of its shoots, premieres next Wednesday on MBC.

Above is Yoon Kye-sang, who plays third wheel in the love triangle starring So Ji-sub and Kim Haneul. Below are the two official posters for the drama, followed by the individual character posters of the main cast members.

    Yoon Kye Sang > So Ji Sub for me! x) He’s so sexy!

  2. nabi

    @ #1 soulbee: Same here keke

  3. kat

    Yum!
    I’ve always liked YKS and abs picspam.

  4. favegirl13

    nah…
    So Ji Sub for me
    i’ve seen all his dramas, so i’m excited to see Road No. 1

  5. amktsy

    the first time i don’t think son changmin looks like jackie chan :s

  6. juicyjui

    I’m for SJS all the way but YKS is mighty fine as well.

    Hmm.. I’m still not 100% on this drama. Maybe it’s due to the recent slew of disappointments so even though I’m a huge fan of the leading roles and of most of the supporting cast, I just am not getting excited.

    The trailer seemed so melodramatic. I mean it’s a war drama so it shouldn’t be filled with comedic hijinks but I don’t need to have the female protagonist crying every other scene or heavy music replaying every time the SJS and KHN have an emotional scene. Here’s hoping that my reservations are unnecessary.

    umm….he has NO abs.

    he just has a flat stomach.

    I have more defined abs than him.

  8. KdramaAddict

    @Starscream
    just what I was thinking!! xD

  9. jt

    what about those two legendary actors at the back.. son chang min and choi min su. im still watching SANDGLASS right now though.

    by looking at the Posters, i can smell dirt and gunpowder already.

    sad to say that i still need to wait two or maybe 3 weeks for subs to be available. of course, i’ll read ur first impression javabeans.

    I love the flat stomach. The super cut abs look kinda creepy to me. This is a nice pick me up while watching Korea vs Argentina. It’s half time….

  11. 11 wenlin

    yay kim haneul and so ji sub!!! YAYNESS

  12. 12 maria

    @nokcha:
    me too! that the perfect physique for me.. lean and toned, but not muscle-y and bulky. hahahah! but lol @ starscream for your well-defined abs. good to know. LOLOL!!

    Because of those 2PM children, I’m so sick of talk about abs. It’s not fun anymore. All entertainers have them! They need to be fit. So what’s the big freaking deal? Gosh they’ve tainted what could be a beautiful pic above with overkill.

    Sexy is a tailored suit…and no guyliner…..

  14. 14 anna

    I hate war love story. I have to sit through all the crying and crap.

    Wait? What abs? He has a nice chest though.

  15. 15 Makino

    I find myself more drawn to his shoulders and chest!!

    Lovely :D

  16. 16 soysauce

    Looks like a tearjerker……Where’s a drama that Kim Ha Neul actually smile?

  17. 17 notoriousnoona

    I’m concerned as to whether I’m in the “mood” for this drama but seeing SJS and YKS could change my mind about that. Honestly I’ve been looking forward to this drama since its announcement because of this trio, however the closer it gets the more squeamish I get about whether I can handle the war, the separation, the triangle and the crying…
    I’m definitely going to give it a whirl though!
    Thanks JB for giving me a visual voltage reminder. I needed it!

  18. 18 Brendel

    Kye Sang!

    I see he has matured a lot…in a good way! But I don’t know if I’ll have the energy for a tearjerker. I prefer Yoon Kye Sang in funny roles like the one he played in Who Are You?

    Question: Has So Ji Sub ever starred in a rom-com? I only remember him from the melodramas I watched.

  19. 19 Dara

    @18 SJS in ‘Cain & Abel’ he smiled quite often there, though it’s not a rom-com.

    Yoon Kye Sang in the 3nd poster, his eyes tell!
    Will try the 1st ep and see how it feels. If the story is good ,I might endure the tears for this one.

    Sorry, I have to mention it somewhere, WC today’s match Korea vs Argentina 1:4 so sad. Anyway, on to the next game, Korea fighting!

    Solid casts , meaningful story . This year K drama are flooded with K war related
    drama , movies , all sound interesting to me . Good luck Road number one drama.

  21. 21 yen_nguyen

    @15: yeah, me too!

  22. 22 Gork

    although he doesn’t have a six pack, his arms and pecs make up for it, LOL…he is so hot!

  23. 23 maria

    @ Infiniti512: oh wow, i love you for saying that!
    a strong man in a crisp suit and no guyliner= WIN! :)

  24. 24 Qwenli

    yes to #15 and #19.

    I hate the story though, just tears tears tears.

    I think i will wait till the whole thing is finished and just watched YKS’s part.

  25. 25 Brendel

    @19, thanks! I was really curious because after watching I’m Sorry, I Love You and Memories of Bali, I was almost convinced that SJS never smiles on-screen. :-)

  26. 26 nanaee

    Yoon Kye Sang is HOT!!!!

  27. 27 ktwngrl

    i heard the director told the actors to get rid of their muscles for this drama to make it more realistic… but doood! YKS still looks dang good~ =)

  28. 28 Snikki

    I don’t really care much about choco abs; it’s arms, shoulders and no moobs for me.

  29. 29 Rickshot

    um dramabeans,

    WHAT abs?! there is ZERO abs there…lol . nice chest though.

  30. 30 Nokcha

    moobs …..hahahahahaha! Needed that after the depressing defeat…1-4 wah!

    Anyway, YKS has matured. Not really into tearjerkers but may watch this one just because of YKS.

  31. 31 snoopyvkd

    Totally yummy YKS with the smile! I want one!

  32. 32 elia

    YKS solo picture looks like Eric of Shinhwa!!

  33. 33 Elena

    These are men, not man-boys. Oh, be still my heart :)

  34. 34 cjmfan

    i love YKS! not looking forward to this drama though coz not a fan of tearjerkers but might actually give it a try coz of him. heheh!

  35. 35 Keylye

    Yoon Kye Sang! JB stop tempting me. I was already considering watching this because of YKS and SJS, but the whole war-romance-melodrama was putting me off. I wish he’d do another rom-com. Such an adorable smile.

  36. 36 Lumi

    I love KYS! I might watch it just because of him.

    SJS starred on the romcom We Are Dating Now with Chae Rim. He didn’t smile much either on that one. Kwon Sang Woo stole the show from them by playing CR’s younger, not too bright, but hot younger brother.

    I probably liked Cain and Abel because SJS smiled and his caracter had a cheerful upbeat personality.

    There’s anopther war series starting on June 19 on KBS: Comrade in Arms, starring Choi Soo Jong.

    I’m not a fan of war movies or series either, but who can resist a good cast?

  37. 37 Cam

    AIGOO! o______________o

    My BEST 1# Korean actor So Ji Sub FOR me!!!!! ( I do agree with #1 and #2)

    Yay for Yoon Kye Sang and Kim Haneul, too!

    I still love So Ji Sub since I had been watched him in that drama “Cain and Adel” and “I am Sorry I Love You”, of course!

    FIGHTING, So Ji Sub! ^_____^

  38. 38 LadyIgraine

    I’m salivating looking at “that” photo.

  39. 39 momosa

    @ 7 – That’s toned abs without the studio lighting and grease, sweat or whatever! Nice, yummy, hot! ..(whistle)…(giggle)

    Waiting for a light drama or movie from YKS. Too many heavy dramas from him recently.

  40. 40 deannadsc

    will watch this drama for YKS & KHN!!! though I agree with #18 Brendel…I’d much prefer Yoon Kye Sang In ROM-Com-dramas where he plays the LEAD!!!
    never has been a SJS fan, though!!!

  41. 41 Farah Fauziah

    I think So Ji Sub it’s the best has abs in korea beside his best buddy Kwon Sang Woo, Yoon Kye Sang it’s nothing hehe

  42. 42 chocomilk

    WOWWWW, what a cast

  43. 43 Gladys

    @deannadsc
    Joke Lan here! Oh my GOD, it seems like we both have the same wavelength. I will also watch this show because of YKS! He was AWESOME in “WHO ARE YOU” which was another underrated K-drama like the recent PP. I fell in love with him from that show. It’s a pity that he didn’t get due recognition when he portrayed 2 totally different characters brilliantly! Anyway, he won many overseas fans from that show which is still very popular, a Taiwnese TV station repeated it 3xxx. YKS fighting!

  44. 44 Lauren

    Ahhhh..I am looking forward to this drama!!! =)
    It’s a good casting, but I’m hoping that the drama is as good as the cast!!
    one more week!!
    As soon as I heard the casting, I was excited because it just so happens to be that I like SJS and YKS :)
    Hehehe, even if he has no abs, I still love his manboobs…does that sound wrong?
    anyways, thanks dbeans :)

  45. 45 oreocrush

    Yay! Totally looking forward to SJS’s new drama! Cain and Abel was okay but compared to MISA, it’s just disappointing. Not really keen on war dramas and judging from the posters, it seems like there’s going to be lot of crying. I know Ji Sub liked to choose those characters with a more serious tone ( Cain and Abel was slightly lighter but the part when he wanted revenge and lost his memory part is totally…) I hope he choose a light drama for his next drama but I might watch this drama depending (I got so depressed after watching MISA) if I can endure all the departs and tearjerking moments. And yes SJS does not smile not often for his characters. Looking forward to it!

    Well get off that car and come be my wheel!

  47. 47 sara

    I am forever supporting my Yoon Kye Sang ^___^

    Do not understand why this drama was not a hit. It’s certainly worth watching than Kim Tak Gu which there were too many screaming and shouting, irritating …… Road number one is a drama showing the emotion, love, care, and relationship between human that are long forgotten in the current competitive world. lots of men tears were shown in this drama…..it’s shown the pain and fear of losing theirlife and loved one. I certainly voted thus drama as the best I have ever watched.
