Drama Casting & News
Padam Padam’s first shoot with Kim Bum and Jung Woo-sung
by | September 26, 2011 | 63 Comments

When I first heard that Kim Bum would play Jung Woo-sung’s guardian-angel-esque buddy in prison for the upcoming drama Padam Padam…The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats, let’s just say I was wondering if they’d gotten it mixed up and really meant the reverse. But here we have the first stills from the drama, showing a rakish Kim Bum with a dorky Jung Woo-sung, and I can see it. (Kind of. It’s still a stretch, what with their respective resumés.)

Kim Bum plays a “4-D angel Lee Gook-soo,” so I guess they really are giving him the name Noodles, and not in a prison-nickname sort of way. (Gook-soo = noodles.) Jung Woo-sung plays Yang Kang-chil, a man who has served 16 years of hard time on a false murder charge. That means he was probably around Gook-soo’s age when he was locked up; perhaps that accounts for their bond.

The shoot pictured here took place in Seoul on the 21st, with the two guys arriving in Seoul and finding it unfamiliar but exciting. I’ll bet, especially if this is their first destination post-jail time.

Han Ji-min, meanwhile, is cast as Jung Ji-na, an “extremely pragmatic, selfish” woman. The drama premieres on cable channel jTBC on December 5.

    • 1.4 msim

      They will cause a heatwave of above 40 Celsius with this casting.
      That 4th picture has me dreaming of bromance – small b, capital B.
      ***fans herself***

      • 1.4.1 msim

        I meant : “small B – capital R”
        I’m obviously already affected and can’t type straight.

    BROMANCE!!! :D :D

    • 4.1 Jessie

      IKR!!! I love the bromance! <3

    • 4.2 muggledore

      Im already squeeeling with anticipation!!!!!

  5. Dux

    Is it just me or is Bummie loosing his facial baby fat? His face looks so angular now, but still so CUTE!

    • 5.1 Biscuit

      Not fond of his man-child look and is therefore happy that he’s becoming more manly.

      He’s turning more into Oh Ji Ho, really. So.. European.

    • 5.2 anonymous

      I heard that he lost quite some weight for this role, and he’s been working out frequently too. He’s still cute though, but I kinda miss his man-child look. Plus, he needs a haircut.

    • 5.3 muggledore

      I see Orlando Bloom in Kim Bum!! OMG Im hallucinating!!!~~

      • 5.3.1 Pamela

        hahaha

    • 5.4 SD

      He looks more mature indeed. I just hope that he’ll be asked to cut his hair in the middle of the drama. His long hair emphasizes his long chin and I don’t find it flattering at all.

      On the bright side, do we get to see some abs and muscular biceps? ;)

      • 5.4.1 Webfoot

        Finally, his looks are maturing! I wish he could have a ‘do over’ of his Boys over Flowers playboy role now. He had the potential then, but just too much baby fat.

        • 5.4.1.1 SD

          I agree. He looked really boyish then. But if he were to do a similar role right now, I bet he’ll sell like pancakes. LOL. Women will drool like crazy for sure!

  6. Zoee

    Uuhhhh they look soooo cute together!!

  7. hpn88

    omg YES! December seems so far away.

  8. Lala

    WOW <3 The is cuteness overboard x) can't wait! :)

    • 8.1 Lala

      -This
      sorry x)

    winter too far

  10. 10 Ani

    I wonder if Kim Bum’s character is more like the Caretaker to Paul Crewe in The Longest Yard. You know, the wimpy wisecracking insider who knows the ins-and-outs of prison and how to stay out of “trouble”. Or Jung Woo-sung could be the Andy Dufresne to Kim Bum’s Red, but Kim Bum being more of a Chris Rock Red than a Morgan Freeman Red (of Shawshank Redemption…. Or, maybe none of the above. HAHAHA.

    • 10.1 Alvina

      I love your comparisons Ani.
      I always fangirl your comments.

  11. 11 purexorange

    dec. 5 dec.5 !!!!!! hope thereare stills of hanjimin!

  12. 12 purexorange

    so since this is shooting now and premiering in december, it means they won’t have to do ‘live’ shooting right? so its a breather for them?

    • 12.1 coconutjuice

      I’m noticing a trend that cable dramas are not doing live shooting, and are probably producing better quality dramas than KBS, MBC, and SBS. I hope they keep it up!

  13. 13 Noelle

    I love the picture of them running! And can I just say that whatever happened to Kim Bum… I like it. Like it a lot.

  14. 14 danna

    See now this is the kind of casting news that I want to hear about…..I’m so excited for this along with 100 Day Promise and now (After seeing that Hot teaser) for Tree With Deep Roots….on other news..does anyone know if it’s actually doing a Full House 2 with No Min Woo and Hwang Jeung Eum…see now if that too is true my day would truly have been made

    • 14.1 Cynthia

      Full House 2 is a go! Soompi covered it today.

  15. 15 Rita (Tarits)

    I will watch this drama. I like both actors and I want to give my support to JWS.

  21. 21 anna

    both are looking good.
    i love that dorky vibe from Jung Woo-Sung, and I just can’t seem to recall watching him in that kind of aura before.
    as for Kim Bum… man oh man….. I think I prefer this Kim Bum than his Yi Jeong persona…

  22. 22 Cynthia

    Ahhh, my pretty, pretty boys!

    Maybe there’ll be a scene where they’ll be drinking and will end up singing to each other, all happy drunk and back-huggie?!

    One can only hope…..
    :)

  23. 23 Bummie

    KIM BUM!!! I have been waiting FOREVER!

    the second pic spells a tad gay-ish BUT I’ll choose to ignore because the MAN is JUST too freaking BEAUTIFUL.
    I’m already loving this <3

  24. 24 nasu

    Hubba hubba!

  27. 27 Unnursvana

    Kim Bum needs a haircut.

    So excited for this drama!

  28. 28 conan

    Whut?! This is like so friggin adorable.

  29. 29 Carinne

    Yang Kang-chil hair and style! LOL! Can’t wait.

    I like KB w/ bangs more. I’ll watch this more for JWS though.

  30. 30 Stacy

    I thought Kim Bum was adorable and a total cutie pie up until a couple of days ago. That’s when I started watching The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry. Now I find him much more squee-able and I’m totally falling for him! I’m watching this drama just for him!

  31. 31 ria151

    OMGGGG, cant wait!!
    BUT
    why do i get the feeling there’ll be a girl involved whom BOTH will fall for, and kim bum will end up NOT getting hte girl?/ :( NO! i MUST stay positive…

    • 31.1 SD

      I don’t think KB will be having a love interest here. It’s okay, he’s only for KSE anyway. ;)

    • 31.2 Jessie

      The description of his character here, he will act as Jung Woo Sung’s guardian angel, he will not be a thirdwheel in fact he’ll protect JWS-HJM relationship in this drama.

  32. 32 Cam

  37. 37 Nun-Gun
