Stills from the set of All That Glitters
by javabeans
Here are some new photos of upcoming weekend drama All That Glitters, starring Kim Hyun-joo as a careerwoman and workaholic. Despite her wealthy family background — the family owns a publishing company — she’s determined to make it on her own. (Although, is it really making it on your own if your work is in publishing?)
Kim Hyun-joo plays a woman who’s life is completely upturned in one moment, after living her whole life as a privileged chaebol daughter.
Actress Lee Yu-ri (I Love You Don’t Cry, Mom’s Dead Upset) takes the role of a woman who grows up in a poor family through a “trick of fate.” Thanks to the dissipated life of her immature scoundrel dad, she’s had to work hard alongside her long-suffering mother to help support the family. However, she discovers that she was actually the daughter to a rich family and decides to recover the life she should have had. (Groan… more birth secrets?)
Hm… this sounds familiar… Yo MBC, are you running out of ideas? Did you think one prince-and-the-pauper story wasn’t enough, and needed the girl version to counter the boys’ story? (Despite the similarity, I hope the dramas are actually quite different — The Duo looks like a serious fusion sageuk, while this one is directed by the guy who gave us the fresh, lively comedies Soulmate and Hello Franceska.)
In any case, Kim wears the fashions of an upscale chaebol daughter, as you can see in these stills. Below her stills are those of Lee Yu-ri, who sheds her nice-girl image for this role, which is her first villainous turn in nine years, since 2002’s Loving You.
All That Glitters premieres in mid-February, following MBC’s current drama Gloria.
Below, we have actor Gil Yong-woo playing the aforementioned reckless father. Once gainfully employed at a bank, he lost his job after the IMF crisis and sank into gambling and other unsavory habits.
In this scene, he’s caught by his loan sharks, having fallen behind on his payments. The thugs carry out an unusual punishment by stripping him and then shaving off his eyebrows (which were actually shaved from the actor’s face, lol).
Apparently unhappy with that look, he takes a pencil to correct the problem. Ha.

Ha! I like how he draws the outline for his eyebrows rather than the usual fill-in.

How original, haha. Hope it turns out to be good, though.
Kim Hyun-joo looks so pretty in the pictures! Especially the one where she's holding the cup.

At least it grows back ;D
Actor Lee Moon Shik decided to get rid of his real tooth in a scene in Iljimae where his character's tooth was pulled out.

I like the last photo.
But apart from that nothing really gets me.
I don't think i'll be watching this drama.
How about they make a drama about an actor who is sent to the marines...

That would be a real melodrama. The tears, the fangirls dressed in black, the wailing, the heartbreak...

I LOVE LEE YU RI....
I've missed her onscreen and wasn't a fan of 'Daring Women' She's so pretty *_*
however, I am not very interested in this...may be because I don't know the lead actor ? he's not appealing to me :/ (may be later on..)

I would like a new variation the the "loan shark's going after Daddy so I got no food" story.
Why wouldn't a family have money? IRL , why are people desperate?
Illness, freak accidents, bad financial planning, drug addiction, wine, women,
song.I guess those reasons are too real, and too drepressing.

I know, I'm really sick of that one too. So ridiculous, and so overused. How many have we had in recent dramas? MSOAN, Dream High come to mind. I know there are others though. Like you said, there are SO many other, more authentic and moving reasons for not having money/being in debt. I don't like how this trope makes the parent nothing more than an absent obstacle or a ridiculous presence in his kid's like, while the daughter is turned into this long-suffering, saintly character who vows to keep working and paying off daddy's debt in humiliating part-time jobs, still loyal and loving to the father no matter what. How unrealistic (and puke-inducing).

Kim Hyun-joo is gorgeous just wish she have a different hair cut. None of hair cut is good in any of the drama.

I'm not sure if this is a case of theft, but over at koreandramasonline they have the exact same article- i do hope they don't steal from dramabeans! maybe they have a contract which allows re-publishing? just asking.
