Tomorrow marks the premiere episode of a new Drama Special from KBS, a four-part miniseries about the ins and outs of a high-end salon, called Hair Show. Somehow I kept getting stuck on the title because I just expected it to be like a hair-rock musical or something, but it’s just a drama set in the world of hair-as-fashion, like haute couture hair, for lack of better hair-related vocabulary from yours truly. Drama, drama queens, and crazy ‘dos? Sounds fun.
It stars Lee Seung-hyo (Comrades, Queen Seon-deok, above right) as a world-renowned stylist. He’s got a past with his first-love-turned-boss, in Cha Soo-yeon (Stormy Lovers, below right). Unfinished business with the new boss, and a star stylist ex-boyfriend who’s guaranteed to be a diva? Awesome.
Baek Jin-hee (Acoustic, above left) stars as the new intern, the rookie who decides on a whim that she wants to be a stylist. She’ll be apprentice to Lee Seung-hyo, and I’m thinking there’s probably going to be more than just the teacher-student relationship there. It’s further complicated by the guy who’s loved and been by her side for ten years, Hyun Woo (Pasta, below left).
Directing is Moon Joon-ha (Pianist, Secret Garden, the drama specials, not the body-swapping drama), who was also a junior PD on Cinderella’s Sister, which despite ending up in a spiral of doom storywise, was gorgeous to look at. Writing is Heo Sung-hye, who wrote drama specials It Cuts the Heart and Family Secret.
Hair Show premieres Sunday April 10 on KBS and runs for four weeks.

What! Wait, this sounds so… exciting! How have I not heard about this before??
I know! For some reason this set up pushes all the right buttons for me too, I can’t wait to see what sort of crazy ‘dos they’ll put out, and if they will be anything as krazy as those seen in K-pop/drama. Because some of those K-pop ‘dos have been so bad, yet they catch like wild fire, like the recent ramyun perm on the Jung Il Woo or even the more famous Lee Min Ho BOF perm. Though I must admit that LMH worked that pama like nobody’s business.
im a hair dresser so i will be watching this fo sho
Me too. I will watch this drama.
I hope it will be subbed – after reading the description, it sounds like win.
oooooh!…i like!….i was just thinking about Baek Jin Hee tiday…I have come to like her a lot since thwatching her in the Drama Special Secret Garden and the movie Foxy Festival with Ryu Seung Bum…..so YAY for being able to see more of her and also Hyun Woo is sucha cutie pie…so glad that he’s fiunally getting a moresubstantial role….also the premise sounds fresh….looking forward to this very much!
The gorgeous Lee Seung Hyo’s the lead!^^ I hope this gets subbed! Am definitely looking forward to watching it!^^
oh no, hyunwoo’s gonna give me second lead syndrome!
I know!! Hyun Woo’s been on my radar since I saw him in Dream (as Narcissus, one of the Flower Fighters). He was also cute in Pasta. He looks 18, but he’s really 26, so no (much) harm done
Good for Lee Seung-hyo. Is this his first romantic lead part?
Hmm, interesting. Reminds me of Beautiful Life starring Kimura Takuya and Tokiwa Takako, written by the Eriko Kitagawa. I haven’t really seen Beautiful Life yet, but I think their similarities are only the main characters who are hairstylists.
I watched that japanese touching drama,
acted well, sob, sob, the male lead, a hairstylist
whilst the girl was handicap, kimura T very sexy !!.
She worked at the library. He would go to the library to look stuff up (effects of peroxide?). Ah, to have KimuTaku as a library patron!
LEE SEUNG HYO? my ALCHEON-RANG from Queen Seonduk!? ohhhhh i die. *sizzle sizzle*
i’m actually gonna watch this. plus the cutie from pasta! <3 so. much. eye. candy. *squeal*
I know!!!
)))
Sounds just like Style. Ryu shi won as the diva. Lee jia as the assistant and kim Hye Soo as the unfinished business
I was wondering what Lee Seung-hyo would be on screen next!!! I admit it, I was an Alcheon fan too
Hyun Woo! A HUGE yes! =D Hehe.
Anybody watched kbs drama special White Christmas?
I thought… that was Sulli.
omg!! lee seung hyo!!<3
does anyone know where i will be able to download the episodes of this miniseries?
Yay! I missed al chun lang so much. Was wondering what he had been up to.
This seems pretty interesting. I was wondering what kind of plot this show would have, knowing only the title and great to see Lee Seung-Hyo in a lead role!
Alcheon!! The hottie Yellow Hwarang kekeke lol.
hey thanks for the update….i hope you make recaps…!!!
Baek Jin-hee! Can’t wait!
Alcheon-rang is back in the business! yay!
Oh yes, Lee Seung-hyo! Must watch. At least, if I can find a website providing English subtitles. I wonder if there will be any ‘hair wars’ in this short series.
BTW, forgot to thank you for the scrumptious picture.
alcheon rang !!
and hyun woo . definately going to watch
well it sounds interesting can try this!
Wow this sounds good. The plot sounds good and it’s only 4 episodes.
totally going to check this out.
OMG, I love this drama.
I’ve watched the first episode lastnight.
Alcheon lang *oops* Lee Seung Hyo in modern outfit look so hot
Yay! Hyun Woo is in it! That’s the only thing that caught my attention…beside the interesting premise!
Bwo…? He’s 26?! He doesn’t even look 20! Woah….
Can’t wait! Please be subbed!
A drama revolving around a hair salon/group of hair stylists?
That’s not something we get everyday! This sounds interesting. Hyun Woo’s presence doesn’t hurt too.
Lord Alcheon. Where hath thou been?.
I’m not sure I’d like him to trade his sword and gun for a hairdryer and scissors but will tune in cause I miss him.
can`t wait to watch the drama with english subtitle
oh my gosh, my friend and i were JUST watching this!! we found it online (with chinese subs, tho. good for her, as she’s taiwanese but i had to rely on my mediocre korean hahha)… i think i read this article weeks ago… i KNEW the drama seemed familiar…
Just finished watching this, finally. Got the gist but the subs were incoherent, so I couldn’t really be sure what they were saying!! So I still had a lot of questions even after I watched it for the third time. It kind of grew on me [hey, it's Lee Seung Hyo, after all]. Looking for recaps, haven’t found any so far.
Hi, where did you watch it. I have been searching everywhere for it but I could not find it. Please send me the link, thank you. I REALLLLLLYYYY want to watch it !
Where can I find the english subs for this drama?
