When they described Kim Bum’s character from Padam Padam as being the “guardian angel” who watches over the blossoming love between Jung Woo-sung and Han Ji-min, I didn’t think they were going to make it a literal guardian angel… or that their idea of guardian angel would be closer to fairy princess.
But fairy princess angel or no, it appears the Noh Hee-kyung vehicle (writer of such dramas as The World They Live In and Goodbye Solo) will pepper its “miraculous love” story with a touch of whimsy. I’m starting to see what they meant by the descriptor fantasy-melo.
I can’t help wishing they’d added a fourth poster to the mix, though, featuring the inevitable bromance between the two boys, who look just as adorable together (if not more) than the main coupling anyway. Oh, well. Angel wings will have to do.
Padam Padam premieres on December 5 on jTBC.

Wooaahh…..these posters really look so good-looking but very beautfiul, of course. ^__^
Why is Kim Bum channeling Kim Hyun Joong in the first pic?! And his wings are channeling Jang Geun Seok’s?
Otherwise… muy guapo! bonito!
So, he’s like a mash-up of cupid and an angel? If that’s the case, would it be wrong to ditch Romeo for him?
Hahaha~~!! to tOoNsKiE (shakes head)
That’s funny what you say, so I don’t think it’s wrong to ditch Romeo because of Kim Bummie……but very freaking awesome if I’d shake him up & he will fall in love with me.
…Ehh…how can I ever met him in person from faaar awaaay? I am from America. =/ =/
Kim Bum looks very third-wheel-y. Lol.
Everyone’s in for the bromance!!
wwooohhh!!! can’t wait for this one to come out!!!
Kim Bum <3!!!
Not even going to lie, the bromance is going to be my sole reason for going into this.
Oh Bummie, come be my fairy princess ♥
Haha, I think that’s the draw for most people on the forums. The pretty of JWS and KB together is too much for us to handle
I don´t like the first poster. It looks weird… But the second and the third are nice
major third wheel is what i get from the 2nd poster. can’t wait to finaly see kim bum back on tv (or computer screen even)
Lol!!!! I was just about to comment the same thing. Him sitting off to the side, smiling at the unseen camera while our couple has a ‘moment’ is pretty funny to see. But, awkward on a poster
but can you blame the girl for looking the other way?
That’s a smiling Kim Bum right there, who’s seated in a way that he can’t easily jump up and ran away! (Unleashes the cougar noona within.)
*run away
- a proof that the mere photo of Kim Bum can jumble up a noona’s neurons.
Ok, NOW I want to watch this!
Lol. I definitely thought he’s a fairy princess on the first poster, too. XD
Who’s the prettiest of them all?
1st one is a big NO.
WTF jTBC?!
Why did you put copy/paste Yonsama’s hair on Kim Bum?
=P
Where did all those good shots in the stills go?!
GAH.
At least the 2nd one is better…
3rd one goes without saying of course
Kim Bum!!! Ahhh…I need not say anymore….:))) Excited for this one….
What is with the fairy wings? Haha. With his hair down and wind on the hair?
gives new meaning to the phrase “airy fairy”, eh? XD
not liking the first poster at all, so weird. second and third posters are all right, but should have put a cute animal there as well…
bummie actually looks pretty again ^^
Agree. He looks exactly like a girl O____O
I thought my eyes were deceiving at first, I was like is that really kim bum? I thought he was a she? LMAO.
He’s pretty…. kekeke
I like Kim Bum and I like fairies, so I like the first poster.
Never thought the words Kim Bum and fairies will be together in the same sentence.
Reapers, Vampires, Angels, oh my!
Why must they both tempt me and tease me by making lovable drama characters even further from reality? What is a girl, who watches dramas to live vicariously through them, to do?
I just can’t stand Jung Woo Sung’s hairdo… it really doesn’t sooth him!
Completely agree. I keep giving him time because I loved him in “Musa”.
Enjoy watching Kim Bum, but unimpressed w/ both his posters.
I am digging poster#2. I’m so amazed at how Kim Bum looks changed so dramatically. He looks so grown-up and umm… so yummy. Keke!
I have to say, my initial reaction on that first poster was straight up laughter. Kim Bum’s hair and the floating fabric that looks like wings are a bit much.
The second and third posters are…better. Standard stuff, but at least I didn’t laugh at them like I did at the first one.
is this network or cable?
jTBC is a cable channel
Lol if you didn’t know what this drama was about, you’d think that Kim Bum looks awfully happy for a third wheel.
The first one looks like an ad for… soap? detergent? something of the sort?
I like KB’s side of the poster though (the right sight really just makes me think detergent ad.
The second one makes me think maybe KB isn’t real? Like a ghost? Not sure why I’m thinking that, maybe because it is so ‘third wheel’ as anyone else would really not stay sitting there, except those persistent guardian angels/ghosts etc.
GAAAAAAH!!! POSTERS ARE REALLY PRETTY!!!! well admittedly the first one is kind of wierd with Bummie’s wings etc….lol…..but the second and third are wonderful…..I would’ve loved a bromance-centric poster too….Come on jTBC….I dont actually think Bummie’s character is a literal angel despite all the fantasy-melo touting..but I think I would love it either ways!!!!! and I love whimsical themes!!!!!
SO EXCITED!!!!
and I know I’m in the minority here but I kinda like Bummie’s long hair! It’s different from what I’ve ever seen on him *runs*
I love his long hair.
Although admittedly, tight in a ponytail looks better than in those posters.
You guy ca take KB
Keep Jung Woo-sung for me please… my dream man
Kim Bum as an angel and Jung Il Woo as a grim reaper: WHICH DO I FOLLOW!?
Bummie in Life and JIW in death…it’s sweet deal if u ask me
How funny is it that both bffs get to play angels(albeit the fact that one is angel of death) in the same year?
to solve the dilemma: Lee Min Ho.
Oh…so he IS a real angel? I was wondering about that. XD
No, he’s a prison fairy of some sort.
I still am not sure abot the whole angelic angle of this drama but I will definitely give it a try since Kim Bum is so freaking adorable!!!! The bromance is gonna be the best part for sure!
Kim Bum has lost his baby fat… but he looks good. I am always partial to guys with long hair and he looks too good to be true.
I have been a good girl this year, can I have a Kim Bum of my very own under my Christmas tree?
Kim bum looks hella good with the long hair,but a guardian angel???the producers must not be serious casting someone as sexy as kim bum to be a guardian angel lol
Definitely thought Bummie was a girl until I took a closer look at the poster. . .
I think Kim Bum is going to the the ONLY reason im going to watch this drama. Is that shallow? I dont care
the title alone makes me wanna watch it! kim bum lost a lot of weight? what happened to those nice cheeks? did he purposely do it for the drama or what?
han ji min was in capital scandal & i think that was her last one a few yrs ago till now?
Capital scandal was centuries ago. She did Yisan & Cain & Abel, is her last drama with So Ji Sub
I’m soo excited for this drama! Han Ji Min is my favorite!
Oh gosh he’s pretty!
i really like watching han ji min in what ever she is in
love her acting in resurrection and since then she has done a lot of charity work which hasn’t allowed me to catch up with her
i really wish they paired her with a likable costar
jung woo sung really is a fizzer
i started watching athena and his chemistry wasn’t as good as a lead role compared to lee byung hoon in iris
im not too sure if i will watch it with jung woo sung being in the picture, even after he dumped lee jia publicly in front of all netizen so how can i bear to watch him play the innocent folk
anyway the premise here sounds very fluffy
i agree with javabeans, didn’t expect that kim bum would turn out to be a literal guardian angel. well, not really sure about that, the whole guardian angel premise could also be for the promotions. nonetheless, i’m all in!
I’m really scratching my head trying to figure out the real “environment” of the story : real life, fantasy, limbos ???
Whatever happens i just don’t want Bummie to end up alone.
Earth, Heaven or Hell, i don’t care just pair him with a loving/loved one or it will spoil my winter. And i already loathe those short, cold and grey days…. pls, pls, pls writers…
Actually I’m digging the premise, as far as I know he will not end up with anyone else in the drama. which is a good thing for me… hahahaha
Those posters are kinda awkward. I feel like there is some major third wheelage going on.
bummie’s wings looks like butterfly fairy’s wings, darn, so cute!
i’m making the second poster my desktop background
dang cable’s getting good
love it!
I have been waiting for this drama for MONTHS – just a few more days!!!!
eeeeeeeeek gorgeous!!! so mesmerizing heheh omg cannot wait for this to air! jst love the main pairing <333
im not digging Bom in this one. lol
*dies* the official trailer is finally out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY98rQM82r4
all i can say is kim bum never looked this yummy (okay, i sound like a total perv right now, but you’ll know why once you see the trailer)…
…and here’s a bit of a treat: http://gall.dcinside.com/list.php?id=kimbeom&no=72179&page=1&bbs
my fangirl heart is soaring!
OHHHHH MMMMMMYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD.
Those pictures !!!!! I just can’t believe it. I swear, i know what i’ve seen, but my brain just won’t digest it ???
Is this show going euh… well…. YAOI ?
Tell me this prison is MEN/WOMEN and i go instantly robbing my convenience store. Don’t even want a lawyer, maximum penalty please….
hahaha i know, right? i just couldn’t bring myself to stop staring at those pictures. i’m ogling kim bum like crazy!!!
now i’m off to fantasyland
OMO YAOI.
I CAN totally picture it. JWS + KB, just like Joo Jin Mo & Jo In Sung in Frozen Flower. Bahahahah…
bwahahaha i’ve seen frozen flower as well and i agree, kb and jws would make good contenders for a remake!
True, Kim Bum looks way too girly in the first poster. I was hoping they would make him all manly and butch considering they are supposed to meet in a prison. Silly me…instead we get a fairy princess? But lets not judge a drama by its poster. There is still a chance we get a decent drama, anyways I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Padam padam already aired and I hope nobody flooded javabeans or girlfridays inbox with requests for recaps or else we really wouldn’t get any recaps at all…
A very good drama the actors are grate too.Jung Woo-sung I.m happy to meet you.I think you are one of the best korean actors.Long live korean actors!Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
