First shoots commenced with this scene of KBS melo-sports-romance drama Man of Honor, which stars Chun Jung-myung and Park Min-young. Funny how the “man” part of the title refers to heroine’s character rather than the hero; the Korean words used in the title happen to be a puntastic take on the leads’ names, Young-kwang (Honor, played by Chun) and Jae-in (Park).
In these stills, Park is dressed as 18-year-old Jae-in, in high school uniform, who grows up poor but plucky who then becomes a nurse’s aide as an adult. Jae-in grew up at an orphanage in her childhood, which pings my birth secret radar; has an orphan in a melo ever not grown up to lots of Sturm und Drang about said orphan status and its attendant abandonment issues? Jae-in seems to have done all right, in that she grows up bright and cheery, and developed close bonds with her nun caretakers. (I had quite a different picture in mind when I first used the term “nun on piggyback,” but I guess this works too.)
Man of Honor, which reteams the PD and writer of Baker King Kim Tak-gu, hopes to follow up that mega-smash hit with this drama, which premieres on October 12.

Well, she doesn’t seems a 18 years old, a bit more old maybe, but seems funny! Looking forward to see this one!
it’s weird, i always thought she looked way younger than her actual age
ditto that.
That last picture is cute!
I think she looks 18. But maybe by Korean standards she might look older? You know, considering Korean actresses/actors, singers, and idols are known for looking young.
Park is cute and all, but for all that’s good and holy, despite the number of projects she’s been in, I’m still not a fan. I don’t hate her, but I haven’t fallen in love with her yet. I hope to soon.
I hope this drama turn out good. Will this drama be recap here?
omg they all look adorable! and i liked the pink-colored school uniform hehe
Damn the stills are adorable…..the orphan part pings my birth secret radar as well, can’t say i’m excited for this drama despite liking the actors mostly i’m just wary of the director-writer duo….but I’m still keepung an eye open, just in case
Is it just me or do those nuns look a little gangster in that last photo? LOL, thanks for the post! I’m excited for this drama:)
I thought so too…and they look sooo funny! If the nuns are recurring characters then I’ll look into this drama.
LOL. Nuns being all out silly is a plus. So I’ll be watching. These two will be scene stealers, no doubt.
Agree. It somehow reminds me of the nun in You’re Beautiful, she always shows up in ridiculous way when GMN is in trouble.
*sings* How do you solve a problem like Jae-iiiin-aah~?
Looks cute.
ahhh, i like that!!!
LOL you!!!
Now that song is stuck in my head again!
I was gonna try that. Great work!
lol thanks
they need to give the girl some bangs.
PMY looks just adorable with those cheerful nuns!
That last pic looks like they’re getting ready to bust a Nu Abo move – cute!
Looking forward to this one.
I’ve never seen such fun-loving nuns before! I look forward to this! especially for PIE:)
I’m really looking forward to this next project of Min Young..
Hope GF and JB will do a recap of this drama..*just wishing**fingers crossed*
such a stereotypical set-up
Even so I’m hoping this will be good. The stills are cute. Are those real nuns? That would be funny.
ok, this is adorable. Now I kinda want them to make the story centre around Jae-in’s life in the orphanage or something.
Hahaha…she is so adorable! I can’t wait for this one
She’s too cute and adorable! Will definitely watch this drama.
PMY Definatety looks adorable and those cherry nuns will be like a cherry on the cake, waiting to watch this drama….
Ahhh these pics are adorable!
Where were all these fun-lolving nuns when I went to school? The nuns in my school were only interested in corporal punishment.
Looks like they raided the KBS wardrobe department and grabbed the sweaters from Choon-hyang.
hahaha! the first time I saw the sweater too it reminds me of chunhyang’s high school uniform..
Isn’t it Sturm und Drang?
Anyway, this drama looks promising. Park Min-young has been quite lucky with her projects since SKKS.
So cute! I agree, I hope this show is good enough for our goddesses to recap. ｡◕‿◕｡
Chun Jung-myung kinda reminds me of Jang Kuen Suk..o_o.
Interesting!
never liked her
I’m certainly looking forward to this drama. I like both Park Min Young and Chun Jung Myung. They both look young for their age, and I think the pairing can actually work. Excited already!
i think this drama is going to be good Park Min Jung is the actress of the moment and you can’t lose with the Delicious husband of WGM’s T-ara Eunjung , the actor and THE man of the moment Lee Jang Woo . All the great ingredient for a good plot (i hope- even SSH can’t save the drama “my princess” if the flower vase LTH can’t act ) . But i know PMJ and LSW can brings it. I am looking forward to it and I hope Dramameans can recap it . Thanks
Wow.. Candy Candy?
Oooohh..
Can’t wait for this drama
Hope it won’t disappoint me
12th October is my most awaited day… It might be aired at night here in our place. PMY, go go go!
This is the best and most beautiful drama of the year 2011. PMY performance is just outstanding. Indeed she has put lots of efforts in this drama. Compared to her previous projects this is one drama I really like. The story is interesting and we can see two sided character. Like PMY how she transform into a more determined person and LJW too from a sicklly and gentle guy into someone very promising, responsible and willing to stand by her at the end. Not a fan of PMY yet, may be someday. However, she did an excellent job and deserved the credits. Lee Jin and Yeon Ju is another promising character. Wish to see them in more dramas.
