Kim Rae-won and Su Ae get close for Thousand Day Promise
by | September 28, 2011 | 61 Comments

RAWR.

The melodrama Thousand Day Promise, starring Kim Rae-won and Su Ae, is set to premiere on SBS as a Monday-Tuesday drama, starting October 17. They only started filming recently, but with Kim Soo-hyun (Life Is Beautiful) churning out scripts well in advance, I’m anticipating tight writing, and with this cast, poignant and affective (also effective) acting.

Have I mentioned how excited I am about Thousand Day Promise?

Oh, I have? Carry on then.

    • 2.2 Danna

      I knew this was going to be sad but I dont think it registered till right now….i guess I better start stalking up on tissue boxes for next month

    • 2.3 ck1Oz

      Oh boy that trailer is like a movie trailer.

      I was going to resist…but don’t think we all can :-(

  3. yakno

    if this wasn’t melo, i did watch it

  4. Twinklefan

    Kim Rae Won is an excellent actor with great chemistry with all his co-stars. Definitely looking forward to this.

  5. stars4u

    I really can’t wait for this drama to finally air!

  6. eret

    the trailer gives these really sad vibe….but looks beatiful!!!!!!!

  7. aX

    I love her but I haven’t warmed up to Kim Rae-Won since the last Kdrama I’ve seen him was an epic fail for me. =X

    • 7.1 myra

      You mean, Gourmet?

  8. myra

    Well, this is a melo, yes. But at least we’re almost sure no one dies in the end (she’ll probably lose her memory and it’s going to be painful for us to watch , but she wouldn’t die. See: AMTR)

    They look hot in the kiss still. I’m looking forward to this drama, more than Noh Hee Kyung’s Padam Padam.

  9. Jessie

    Wow. The stills are gorgeous and sexy rawr!
    the premise sounds promising, there will be a whole lot of tears with this one. Joining the long list of tearjerker dramas…..

  10. 10 Lala

    NO WAY. It looks so good! :)

  11. 11 Dara

    Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  12. 12 Cynthia

    This looks like a winner – a sad winner, but still a good watch.

    Loved the 2nd pic (who wouldn’t?!) but I feel obligated to say that the top pic has got to be the worst skirt pic, ever!
    It looks like she’s got something trapped in there.

    I know. Way to ruin the mood. Sorry….
    :)

    • 12.1 Goyangi

      LOL! I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. It looks like her skirt is trying to talk…to his groin or something.

      Su Ae looked so pretty in the teaser trailer. I don’t usually fangirl but, hey, gotta give credit where credit is due.

      I think I can deal with melo so long as no one dies or gives up an organ (they don’t still do that in melos, do they?) Since I haven’t finished 49 Days yet, I think the last melo I watched was A Love to Kill (eep!) and I’ve probably recovered from that ending by now…

      Wait, the second half of Secret Garden counts as a melo, right?… so if I’m doing the math right… 1/2 49 Days + 1/2 Secret Garden x the trauma that was A Love to Kill = I should really give melodrama another try.

      P.S. Did you really have to go there A Love to Kill? Really??

      • 12.1.1 Danna

        You win at math

      • 12.1.2 anais

        They did say A Love TO KILL. Fair warning. har har har. (I love me some stupid jokes.)

        • 12.1.2.1 luv_KimRaeWon

          good one:D

        • 12.1.2.2 Goyangi

          Yeah, I should’ve known. lol. I guess I naively thought the title was a metaphor or something. lol. In my slim defense, this was only the third(?) kdrama I’d ever watched. I know better now. ;)

          That said, I fully expect a thousand day promise in a Thousand Day Promise or I’ll be annoyed.

      • 12.1.3 Autumn

        “It looks like her skirt is trying to talk…to his groin or something.”

        LOL. now I can’t unsee it.

      • 12.1.4 more

        hahahahahah just by the title and the screen caps u u know they will me mellow

    • 12.2 Webfoot

      LOL. What is seen cannot be unseen. Luckily we still have the second pic. Yummmmm

  13. 13 imChildish

    they looks so good together ^^

  14. 14 sherlyn275

    RAW~~~~~
    im so gonna watch this one…

  15. 15 myweithisway

    How cute is it that in the second pic, both of them have one heel lifted?

  16. 16 luraaa

    I don’t care if this is a melodrama or that I’m gonna cry buckets on this show– I’m still gonna watch this.

    It’s the same as watching A Moment to Remember, one of my favorite and first Korean movies. I’ve seen this film a couple of times, but it always get me teary-eyed. I make it a point to watch this film every year to feed my Jung Woo-sung and Son Ye-jin fandom.

    So it’s the same logic. Their hotness (individually and together) compensate for the show’s theme–which is why I’ll add this on my (growing) watch-list.

  17. 17 theedie

    I saw the first picture and my reaction was, “looks kinda hot, but there could be more…” then I saw the second picture and my mind immediately went, “well, DAYUM”. Chemistry, they have it.

  18. 18 celest1al

    Oh man. What a great pair. Aside from being good-looking, I feel like they’re equal in terms of acting ability. I am officially excited.

  19. 19 crzycpl

    RAWR!!!! I like it how he is actually holding her in the right place for a passionate kiss. None of the childish poses that we get from the young’uns. LOL :D

    I watched the movie …ing the other day with KRW and ISJ and it killed me. Great acting and a great movie.

    And before that, I watched Once in a Summer with SA and LBH. Also very very sad and a great movie with great acting.

    So I am well excited for this one!!

    • 19.1 more

      That is how u hold a GROWN WOMEN TO LET HER KNOW WASSUP. I LOVE OLDER ME ;)

  20. 20 conan

    I am so looking forward to this. I don’t care if it’s sad. I’d cry along with them, buckets and buckets of tears. Better stock up on my Kleenex then.

  21. 21 aardvarksmile

    I was looking at the first picture and enjoying myself with the anticipation of the drama (even if it is a melo) when I thought: is there someone in a green shirt in the background? No, it must be a green piece of furniture. But hey, there are also two hands going to touch Kim Rae Won. Why aren’t they my hands, oh why? So whose hands are they? Maybe Someone of the crew saying “all right we’ve got it, you can stop, can you hear me! Or are these hands a plot device?

    • 21.1 luraaa

      HAHA. Good eye you got there. I was staring at the hotness that is Kim Rae-won and Su Ae to not notice the picture’s background.

      • 21.1.1 aardvarksmile

        You know, I was admiring them from head to toe when I noticed all these details. When you have a look at the green somebody, you’ll know whom I was admiring at that very moment ;)

    • 21.2 hosg15

      Gosh! You are really observant! Kudos!

    • 21.3 kay

      LOL there’s a green person AND a pair of hands flailing at the side!? haha i can’t believe i didn’t notice that at first. good eyes.

  22. 22 Banu

    *__* “blush” XD

  23. 23 SD

    Wow this looks promising! This, as well as Padam Padam, is something to look forward to!

  24. 24 Jomo 143∞

    I know I’m gonna like it there…
    Seriously, how much pain are we in for with KRW?

    I think the lead character who inflicted the most pain on me was Go *sob* Soo in WISFC. I just wanted him to be happy.

  25. 25 kellie

    Not the Kim Rae-won I was waiting for, looking like a model on a glam gig. His appeal is that he’s so real & down to earth, not artificial or plastic. So they sell his return series as artificial & plastic. I’ll wait to see what the public reaction is. It’ll be too bad if this turns out to be another low-rater in Korea, buzz-only online.

    He’s probably getting a charge out of it, though, after wearing fatigues for 2 years.

    • 25.1 Jomo 143∞

      I’m not sure KRW can actually do glam.

      The posters and stills are one thing, but his hair is so unruly, it usually ends up destroying any attempt at coolness, not to mention his own goofy sweet personality showing through the glam.

      However the role was planned to be, I expect KRW will make it KRWonderful!

  26. 26 Eliza Bennet

    KRW is one of the best on screen kissers out there and I’m happy that they put this talent of his into good use.

    Also KRW is one of those actors who doesn’t look much in the pictures but very attractive on screen (Park Shi Hoo is one other)

    Su Ae I only liked in A Family (very good film) but I never saw her give a bad performance.

    Well also most importantly these two are good actors so at least we’ll get some good performances out of it.

  27. 27 anniesboobs

    Just a though. The song in the teaser sounds similar to a song used in “All-In”.

  28. 28 moonymeia

    On one hand, it`s melo, and I really don`t like melo, but, on the other hand, it`s KIM RAE WON, my first Koren crush. Oh, well, the things we do for love……….

  29. 29 luv_KimRaeWon
