Character stills from MBC’s Light and Shadow

by javabeans

Okay, how adorable are they? Above, Nam Sang-mi strikes a singer pose in a shoot for the upcoming drama Light and Shadow alongside a co-star. The series is a special production from MBC as part of the broadcaster’s 50th-year anniversary, and follows the lives and careers of performers in an entertainers’ troupe, covering several decades from the 1960s onward.

That explains the looks, which can only be described as retro fabulous, for series stars Ahn Jae-wook, Lee Pil-mo, and Sohn Dam-bi, as well as Nam. It seems as though Ahn will be the big star, while Nam plays a newer performer who’s on the rise. (I presume from the glitzy looks that Sohn and Lee are on the same path.)

Light and Shadow began its shoots in the last week of October and is currently in the thick of filming. It airs on MBC on Mondays and Tuesdays and is scheduled for 50 episodes. It premieres on November 28.

This series so much like the chinese series with Charmaine Sheh and Roger Kwok.

I love Nam Sang Mi. Her beauty is so subtle, graceful. You can't seem to stop looking at her cuteness.

AJW seem to aged a bit. But I always love his quirky humor in dramas.

As for the two others. Don't really like them much.

This is giving off asian "Dream Girls" vibes - it's certainly from similar eras.
