Drama Casting & News
Siwon tweets from Poseidon shoot
by | August 15, 2011 | 63 Comments

Admittedly, this isn’t much in the way of news or updates on Poseidon, which hasn’t released very much info since finalizing its cast v.2.0. But at least it’s something — series lead Choi Siwon tweeted the above photo on the 15th, alongside comedian and Poseidon co-star Park Sung-kwang, to congratulate the latter on his birthday.

His message read, “I’m in the middle of filming. Sung-kwang hyung is spending his birthday filming his first drama. Happy birthday, hyung.” They’re pictured at the beach, which makes sense given Poseidon’s police-at-sea premise, although I’m less sure that the drama can vouch for those outfits. (Perhaps they’re enjoying some downtime?) Hey, I’ve got nothing against cops in flowery board shorts — I’m just not sure I see an elite unit of counterterrorist agents ready to report for duty wearing them. Unless…I’m finally getting my half-nekkid volleyball scene? Is it MY birthday?

Poseidon has weathered some tough setbacks, including an entire cast replacement, but has secured new actors and is busily prepping for its premiere next month. Currently, the drama is slated to air its first episode on September 19, two weeks after Myung-wol the Spy wraps and one week after the Chuseok holiday week. That is, if Myung-wol can somehow manage to finish its run, in light of its current production problems.

      • 1.1.1 FunnyBunny

        I second that!

        “Hey, I’ve got nothing against cops in flowery board shorts — I’m just not sure I see an elite unit of counterterrorist agents ready to report for duty wearing them. Unless…I’m finally getting my half-nekkid volleyball scene? Is it MY birthday?”

        If such a scene were to occur it would be, hell it’d be mine, and pretty much everyone who frequents this site’s birthday too.
        *promises to be a very good girl in return for lots scenes that require Siwon’s lack of clothing* ^_^
        PD-nim please don’t let us down!

    Take it off, Siwon! Take it off!

    • 2.1 suitfetish

      He needs to at least pretend he has a sense of modesty when it comes to performing…

      • 2.1.1 malta

        Well then he’d be lying, no?

  3. Violeta

    I’m really expecting this drama, because I really think that it’s going to be something like Athena or IRIS, or something of that kind. And the cast is pretty great. Can’t wait.

    • 3.1 MJP

      Better than… Better than Iris and Athena, is my hope! I hope it is the blockbuster Kdrama of the year for action dramas!!!!!

      • 3.1.1 Beng

        you mean it will be more awesome than City Hunter? wow if Poseidon can top it, then they will really be great. But whatever, i’m already in tenterhooks because of Siwon. I hope there will be no more glitz and it will start showing on the 19th of September. Fighting!!!

  4. Jasmin

    I want to see news about “What’s up?”!:-) I don’t care about “Poseidon”.

    • 4.1 D:

      Same
      but Daesung will be completely inactive to “reflect” on himself until 2012
      :(

      • 4.1.1 D:

        and even then i dont know if the broadcasters will be willing

    • 4.2 muggledore

      me too!! =( I want What’s up!!!

      more musicals please!!!!!!!!

    • 4.3 aria

      What’s Up with you girls, always pops out in every other post and start demanding ‘What’s Up’? Do these things in Open Thread.

      • 4.3.1 D:

        I’m sorry
        i dont bring it up
        i just replied on impulse

        • 4.3.1.1 Mia

          Aww….*pat pat* Hey it’s okay…I’m sure they will air it sometime – look at Birdie Buddy! They shelved that one for ages but they aired it eventually.

    • 4.4 Ace

      What’s with the we-want-news-of-”What’s Up? in this post? If you don’t care about Poseidon (as some of us do as much as we want news of WU too) then don’t read Poseidon posts and stop commenting randomly about another drama. Find another source for news about WU.

  5. Silver

    The people in charge of elite counterterrorist units have finally figured out that nothing says stealthy like flowery board shorts.

    • 5.1 suitfetish

      HAHA

      this is true. Like Daddy-Spy in Myung-Wol. COMPLETELY invisible as a North Korean agent, because he looks like every slacker ajussi everywhere…

    • 5.2 MJP

      Silver! *HUGS*

      LOL!!!!

  6. ginnie

    Perhaps he is a “troubled” cop that is not playing by the rules or not a professional counter-terrorrism agent. So, a non-elite does not need to dress according to the norm?

    I wish poseidon would release more about the version 2.0 storyline. =)

    I still hope this drama will start Sept. 19 as planned because the Myong Wol fiasco has already caused too much damages to its drama and cast/crew already. Why let Poseidon suffer as well? It would be good to let Poseidon avoid crazier schedules. If it broadcasts earlier than September 19th, I think the live shoots will be worst than Myong Wol…unless they are really that efficient despite having earlier production issues themselves.

    • 6.1 Memlu

      HAHAHAHAHA. The new face of the loose cannon cop that plays by his own rules: “Hawaiian” swim trunks. It says, “I might be here on business, but I’m not so uptight I won’t play.”

      • 6.1.1 ginnie

        Saw some pics yesterday of him and the leading lady – Shi Young filming a scene together under a huge tent…It looked like she is a lifeguard? Or she was helping him…from far it looked like she was touching his hand. LOL. She was not in a bikini like the ladies in the background.. Hot bikini girls galore.

  7. lidme

    Thank you javabeans, despite the lack of the official news Choi Siwon is doing the best PR for his upcoming drama. This year has been a very busy one for him with 2 comebacks albums released (for SJ and SJM) and filming for his Taiwanese drama Extravagant Challenge.
    Being always sunny and positive, his tweets brighten up the atmosphere after the Myung-wol the Spy situation. I hope KBS will find a solution that doesn’t burden even more the Poseidon preparations.
    They need only good things coming their way.

    • 7.1 Noelle

      I didn’t realize that Extravagant Challenge was still a go. Yay! I love Ariel Lin. But back to Poseidon… I can’t wait to see this. I hope everything goes as planned.

      Poseidon cast and crew, FIGHTING!

      • 7.1.1 Noelle

        I just looked at the cast for EC. So sad now.

        • 7.1.1.1 ginnie

          Ariel has a new series to debut in Sept. It basically clashed with EC’s filming schedule I think. so, they ended up parting ways. EC will broadcast in December after Ariel’s series. So, you can watch both series back to back for Ariel and Siwon. LOL.

          • 7.1.1.1.1 fangorn

            hmm, last I heard Ariel will not be in EC. Her part is being taken by another actress.

          • 7.1.1.1.2 ginnie

            @ fangorn – I was referring to Ariel’s new drama – not EC.

  8. sue

    heee

  9. mjfan

    siwon has lost alot of weight I hope he will take care of himself with this crazy scheduels (SJ ,
    SJM , dramas)

  10. 10 biankoy

    Yes, I agree :(
    Although it’s been giving me lots of thrill and delight to see SiWon more and more.. I hope he will take time to rest and take care of that mighty fine body…. He really got thinner.. :(

  11. 11 Fanny

    Wooo, Siwon at beach! *imagination runs wild*.

  12. 12 Uca

    Where’s his abs? I didn’t find it.

  13. 13 stargazer377

    “Unless…I’m finally getting my half-nekkid volleyball scene?”

    Yes please! Then we can get the korean version of Top Gun with all the sand and rippling muscles!!! ;D

  14. 14 Porcelain

    • 14.1 Aya

  15. 15 Pandaaaed

    Somehow the twit isn’t complete…
    Hmm maybe it needs some more glorious flesh ;)

  16. 16 malta

    Siwon…where are your neon hotpants?! XD *giggles galore*

  17. 17 jhone

    I can’t wait to see him in a new drama again. I just hope the production problems of Spy Myunwol will not affect poseidon though. I am worried about siwon’s health.

  18. 18 MJP

    Park Sung-kwang, *HUGS*

    Happy Birthday to you!
    Happy Birthday to you!
    Happy Birthday Sung-kwang ssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
    Happy Birthday to you!

    I hope your birthday was fabulous.

  19. 19 Aya

    these counterterrorist agents r totally chillin and drinkin some cool soda at a beach – y’know, in between some killer assignments and heavy duty you gotta rest and have fun with your homies

  20. 20 kirikhin

    OMG, SIWON AND HIS HAND GESTURES. ;D

  21. 21 Alvina

    It’d be fun if they took a Burn Notice-esque switch up with the concept (that show started pre-production as a dark city drama to the sunny miami comedy setting it is now).

    Thus, the shorts would make sense lol. Who says they cant have fun while protecting us from sea enemies :P
    Esp. a character like Siwon; it’d be interesting if he takes a page out of City Hunter to be the womanizing badass lol.

    I just hope it’s not cliched and will succeed. It’s been through enough troubles already.

  22. 22 Sakurakhyuk

    Hi, this is some more pics of Siwon from the Baywatch, Hawaii Five-O… I mean Poseidon set. Heh.

  23. 23 Yasmin

    my first thought: loving the shorts, dude!!

  24. 24 Lacus

    Can’t wait for Poseidon ^^. Hopefully, they are undercover in those shorts. Lolz.

    Following Siwon on Twitter is a joy. He has such an adorable personality.

  25. 25 a_fan

    I wonder if his wife goes on location shoot with him.

  26. 26 Carinne

    I’m giggling, wondering why Si-won’s top half is fair skinned while his bottom half is all dark?

    If Si-won won’t answer this curious inquiry, then where is HIS WIFE to step up to the podium on behalf of her significant other? ^ , ^

    You know who you are.

  27. 27 trucalling

    siwon is so happy to film but I hope he will take care of himslef with all these crazy schedule!! my poor baby T__T anyway can’t wait to see it and yes maybe it will be like an hawai unit crew xD love you siwon can’t wait!! I’m so happy because we will see poseidon and after extravagant challenge! it’s like a big gift to siwon’s fans lol

  28. 28 MeeisLee

    I think I might watch for Si Won :) . He looks like a man here, what’s he doing in boy band Super Junior again?

  29. 29 YY

    Where’s Viola?

    • 29.1 Viola

      YY, you called? :P

      You can just start using any Siwon post as a bat signal to attract my attention. You know, now that I think about it, projecting pictures of Siwon is much more aesthetically appealing than, projecting a giant rodent on the skyline! I bet Gotham’s crime rate would be much lower if the population had such beauty to look at! And who knows, his holiness might rub off on them too! :P

  30. 30 Abbie

    Love Siwon! He’s such a nice guy and has such a nice smile! Looking forward to Poseidon! The only reason I’ll watch it is because of him!

  31. 31 Mel

    I am excited but so worry for siwon with sj comeback and sjm japan debut. Please be healthy
