Character stills from Padam Padam

I know Padam Padam is all about Jung Woo-sung (Athena) and Han Ji-min (Cain & Abel)…but can we talk about how much Kim Bum has grown up the the past year? Yowsa.

I know all boys have to age sometime, and Kim Bum has been gradually growing out of his boyish looks with every role he takes, but still…I feel like he’s turned into an adult overnight, and it’s both amazing (those cheekbones! those eyes!) and sad (bye-bye, pinchy-cheeks).

Now he actually looks like he might suit the role of Padam Padam’s street-smart prison inmate who watches over the pure-hearted and wrongly convicted Jung Woo-sung while they’re serving time in the clink together. Jung’s character spends 16 years in prison, gets out and meets the self-centered Han Ji-min, leading to romance. Kim Bum is his buddy’s guardian angel who watches his back in and out of prison, while new face Lee Jae-woo takes a role in the supporting cast.

The cable drama premieres on jTBC on December 5.

kim bum! Can someone somehow tell me how did he transform himself into this?! The pinchable cheeks are now replaced with manly cheekbones. He looked waaay taller now with his built and dang! The elongated neck! I never noticed that one til now. Or should i say, i didnt notice his neck ever, the suits he wears always cover it, so is his hair.. My, that was a sexy transformation! Jb, thanks for these photos! They're lovely like you..;)

Sometimes the fangirls get a little too overly excited about an actor/idol and I'm like huh?

Kim Bum, otoh, I can see.

He always had boyishly (and yet still masculine) good looks and now, some of that boyishness has hardned into more manly features.

Looks like Kim Bum's baby fat has finally burned off,lol. I like him with long hair and his new mature features make him look more manly and...his age, hahaha.

I'm really looking forward to this drama, the plot seems really cool. I like the idea of the guardian angel character. I just hope I don't cry D: After watching Bad Love, I never want to cry again

OH MY GOD. I literally GASPED. I'm like spazzing right now. I feel like a kpop fangirl.

Kim Bummie, my cute boy, has turned into a handsome MAN. I think this reason enough to tune in.

JB you made my night! Thank you! :')

Men do not stop growing until they are 25 years old. He is only 22 years old, so just wait for those remaining three years all you noonas!

I am amazed that no one has mentioned just how long his neck is. With his hair pulled back, you can really see the growth spurt he has gone through.

I've always said that Kim Bum will age very well. I am happily watching him from afar.

I know Takeshi Kaneshiro was already mentioned. But I was also reminded of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has a likeness to the late Heath Ledger.

Of course I can't mention JGL and HL without mentioning Indian actor Kunal Khemu, who also likeness with the two.

I agree with you there! He does resemble JGL. I think it has something to do with the face shape. Though I'm still biased towards Bum. :)) I just can't get his face out of my head!

Whoa! I wouldn't have even recognize him at all if it were not for the shape of his lips. Bye bye baby fat! Is it ok now for me to admit I find him attractive without feeling like a total cougar? : /

I kept wondering who that guy was, I knew I've seen him before... woah. Kim Bum seriously grew up! He use to look like a boy with his chubby cheeks and now he's so manly looking *.*. Worthy of drooling. Mmmm. Kim Bum.

Dang! You took the words out of my mouth javabeans!

"I feel like he’s turned into an adult overnight, and it’s both amazing (those cheekbones! those eyes!) and sad (bye-bye, pinchy-cheeks). "

I barely noticed him on BOF but when The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry aired, he had grown on me, enough to almost topple Lee Min Ho on my number 1 spot (tied btw with Jung Il Woo). Let's see if Padam Padam may just do it for him.

Who is that MAN?! O_o It's like Kim Bum and Jung Woo-sung swapped their characters. Kim Bum as the (hopefully) badass manly man and Jung Woo-sung the precious man boy. I am on this drama train, big time.

That is a beautiful picture of him....I wish he will do a drama with Kim So-Eun soon or Jung Su Min. I would love to see him with either of them...

I'd definitely love to see him again with Kim So Eun! Like what I always say, these two have an unfinished business. Besides, I'm sure his "ruggedly handsome" appeal will surely match So Eun's ladylike charms. ;)

About time--his baby face killed The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry for me. He was just not right for the role, imo. Now? Damn! What a difference a year makes.

I had always thought that Kim Bum, during BoF,
was a cutie-pie-baby-face, yet laughable as an
experienced playboy. So along comes this photo...
Ladies, I've read your comments. Yep, the guy
has gotten older. Good-looking before, good-
looking now.

But I think I see something more, (actually less)
or at least something different from the majority
of comments. I see more of a skull-skeleton than
skin. I see a neck that is stretched so thin that
it's scary-looking. Your neck's sterno-mastoid
muscles (between your jawline and collarbone)
aren't supposed to look like that unless you're
screaming, a total body builder, or have anorexia.

I hope that I'm wrong, and just "seeing
something" that isn't there. But I don't trust
that part of the Korean film or TV industry where
you MUST be pencil thin. I repeat....I really hope
that I'm wrong......... :(
