Queen In-hyun’s Man’s additional stills and teasers
by | April 11, 2012 | 60 Comments

Here are a few more stills from Queen In-hyun’s Man, and despite the hanboks pictured, these are all from the modern-day segments of the time-skippy drama.

The first set of stills feature Ji Hyun-woo (the time traveler) and Yoo Inna (the time traveler’s future wife?) cozying up behind the scenes and on the set as their characters have a “library date.” Uh, I guess the Joseon scholar’s idea of a good time is to show his lady some ripping good books? He may have to up his game in the 21st century, just sayin’. Hey, I love books as much as the next girl (maybe more), but they’re not the first thing that pops to mind when you say date. Or romance.

But I guess we don’t have to worry too much, since he gets in a good kiss soon enough, as we can see in the still and previews below. Basically, the clip tells the story: Our Joseon hero finds himself in the midst of intrigue, fights off villainy, and ends up warping to the future. There he’ll meet the heroine, a little-known actress playing the role of a queen in a television drama. (From the clips, it appears she’s not a very good actress, either, earning the director’s sighs and her co-star’s derision.)

The second trailer lightens up considerably with a more standard rom-com feel, although I’m optimistic about the touch of whimsy woven throughout. The hero arrives in the future and seems to tell our heroine-actress the truth, speaking in his sageuk tone and talking about jumping in time. Whether she believes him, however, is a different issue entirely.

Queen In-hyun’s Man premieres next Wednesday, April 18, on tvN.

    Am I first? Am I first?

    • 1.1 javabeans

      I’m leaving this here this time, but as a warning, “first” posts do get deleted as a rule.

      • 1.1.1 nynaeve

        Uhm, okay… Sorry, I’m not gonna do it again T_T

        • 1.1.1.1 Ara

          lol, ahahah

    • 1.2 nynaeve

      I am! Yay! I’m sorry for being shallow… but gotta do my dance of victory first :)

      • 1.2.1 Arhazivory

        lol. Congrats.

      • 1.2.2 pauper

        I gotta ask, what kind of satisfaction for being the first to comment (or lack thereof)?

        Thank you, JB! It’s annoying when you scroll for comments, only to see someone claiming first spot.

        • 1.2.2.1 iamtherealfirst

          maybe there’s a prize.. hey jb, do you have any silent game here (first commenter as the winner) that most of us do not know?

        • 1.2.2.2 nynaeve

          Why you gotta hate on me? :(

          I never intended to annoy or bother anyone… Countless others have done it before me, but I get everyone’s ire.

          • 1.2.2.2.1 bgr

            Coz you’re the straw that broke the camel’s back!

          • 1.2.2.2.2 butterbacon

            Aw. Chill people. JB gave a warning and y’all are just gonna pile on? Shame.

          • 1.2.2.2.3 nomu nomu nomu

            *sigh*

            I really dislike Mob Mentality, what with their torches and pitchforks

            Post # 1.1 by javabeans was enough. The other netizen should just Let.it.go.

            back to topic:
            Yoo Inna looks cute as always. and jb, remember Sungkyunkwan Scandal. The Library was pretty much their mating room between the leads.

            April 18th, Are you here yet ????????

    • 1.3 danny

      Javabeans is kidding ^^, heheheh
      i wish i’ll have my luck with the FIRST word, but i’m always a little late for that! ^^. I love saeguks storyline, we have TVN in our cable but there’s no translation, guess i’ll just have to wait.

      • 1.3.1 djes

        I don’t think that she was kidding.
        and so were the others.

        • 1.3.1.1 danny

          OTHERS, u mean u and d dark knights (y so serious!) well, i was just lightening nynaeve’s mood, she seems pretty scared witth the innocent first comments. So pls give her some slack as what JV did.

    So excited for this!

    And a library date would be the perfect way to win my heart :)

  5. nynaeve

    I really love the first trailers released for this drama. They have a CF-like appeal which I mostly attribute to the deft directing. I know there are a lot of time-travelling dramas these days, and even though I’m a HUGE Jaejoong fangirl, for some reason I am anticipating this drama more than “Time Slip Dr. Jin”. Gotta give chops to their marketing team for the amazing trailers. But, as I have learned time and again, we are not to judge a drama by its trailer alone (uhm, hello City Hunter and King 2 Hearts).

    I just hope a subbing group will pick this up as their next project. Woe is me, who only knows very little Korean…

  6. Mystisith

    Hmmm. I wouldn’t mind having history lessons with such a teaser. Oops, i mean teacher…
    I would say a library is the perfect place to literally catch a girl: Remember that you always need a man to grab that stupid book on the higher bookshelf… OK, i’m gonna take some fresh air and will comeback later…

    • 6.1 canxi

      HAHAHAH! Oh Mysti…if you are implying what I think you are implying then win! So much win XD

  7. Noelle

    I so want to watch this! Can it be April 18 now?

    How about now?…now?

  8. jomo

    Sooo pretty!
    I really like her as a lead.
    She certainly is not typical in any way – her looks, her delivery, and I am totally buying her as a red head for every role.

    I think she has a vulnerability that is charming; I hope she can do steely resolve as well. First leads always need to bring their steely resolve to the later episodes when all hell breaks lose.

  9. danni

    I’m pretty excited for this drama, though there’s no way that I’ll have time to watch it. Guess that works out since it will probably be weeks (months?) before it gets subbed. Can someone let me jump forward in time so that school will be over and I’ll have all the time I want to watch dramas?

  10. 10 jumbalaya

    romantic comedy? ish?
    I guess its not adventure mystery….

  11. 11 gg

    looking forward to this, the stills look great! although my expectations of saguek-fusion dramas now have been raised considerably because of Rooftop Prince, any other drama of the same genre would have to be really good to be able to beat it :)

    “Hey, I love books as much as the next girl (maybe more), but they’re not the first thing that pops to mind when you say date. Or romance.”

    Au contraire, javabeans.

    I give you Beauty and the Beast:

      Touchée. En. Plein. Coeur.
      My FAVORITE romantic scene, ever.

      *sees the pic*
      POUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
      Simply perfect. I save this picture right now.

    • 12.2 mihinikki

      Aw…the library in Beauty and the Beast. When I saw that movie at 7 years old my mouth dropped and I wanted to be Belle just for that!

  13. 13 Jules

    I’m excited about this one just because I absolutely LOVE Ji Hyun Woo :)

  14. 14 alua

    Now the question is, is that (pic #4) a pretend kiss or a real one? Looks pretty real, but with Korean dramas you never know…

    (Did not watch the videos, just speculating by looking at the pics.)

    :-P

    • 14.1 skelly

      Fake or real, it’s still pretty horrible.

  15. 15 ravin

    i don’t know, i find books pretty sexy, and library dates pretty awesome. although as a grad student i spend an waaay to much time in libraries, perhaps i’ve developed a fetish.

  16. 16 asianromance

    the king looks hilarious with his poses!

  17. 17 Ivoire

    Where is Ricky, the rh? woo hoo, ricky, there are gorgeous pictures of Yoo Inna here, where are you? *Looking around to see if I can spot him, no, no such luck :-( *
    You need to get out of the library or out of your books to see this for 5mns… or maybe not, if that means that you looking at these pictures will have you drooling at Yoo Inna, for hours… literally :-) . (we still need you to study and do your homework during the week so you can continue to do well in school).
    Maybe it is best that you don’t see this today and see it on the weekend instead. That way, you will still have time to do homework and study (I hope :-) ).

    I thought of you as soon as I saw this post. This is definitely for you, enjoy!!!!! I hope your week is going well!

    • 17.1 ricky trh

      Iv,
      I saw it, drooled over her and cursed the guy.
      Thanks for thinking of me :D

      • 17.1.1 jomo

        Of course we thought of you!
        Where’s Juliet without her Romeo?
        (Alive? OK bad example)
        Samson without Delilah?
        (Also alive? Bad example)
        Isolde without her Tristan?
        (OK Why do they always end so badly?)

  18. 18 sn

    can’t wait to watch this! :D

  19. 19 Daniella

    They look really cute together (: I like the picture of them in the library.
    So because of their cuteness together, Yoo In Na, and the uncanny resemblance to Rooftop, I’m gonna watch it.

    (:

  20. 20 Pitch

    This looks cute! I hope someone is going to sub this.

  21. 21 Lady Seoul

    Looks awesome. This kinda reminds me of Kate & Leopold! I really hope it’s something like that movie, then that would be super awesome!

  22. 22 Linda165

    Aaaw! He looks adorable in that beanie! I want him!

    • 22.1 gala

      JHW always looks good in a beanie, y/y? :p

  23. 23 lin

    jang hee bin in dong yi looks better than in this series…

  24. 24 KDrama Fan

    Really looking forward to this drama.

    Thanks as always JB:)

  25. 25 redfox

    well, there are books and there are BOOKS, y´know (remember SKKS?) what better disguise for suggestive thoughts than an intellectual environment?

  26. 26 daniela

    It looks interesting, but without subs it’s gonna be difficult (I can understand only 40% of Korean so far).
    In the trailer I recognized the house from the Princess man and the hero has the same outfit as Park Shin hoo. I hope they will not make a copy of that drama, as in “Queen Dowager Insoo”.

  27. 27 wenlin

    looks like an eventful update! feeling quite mixed about this drama though… =/

  28. 28 watcher&listener

    reading this remind me of The Time Traveler’s Wife.. sort of

    • 28.1 Rovi

      That’s what I thought, too…along with “Rooftop Prince”…

  29. 29 Rovi

    Actually, was watching “GO Show” (downloaded it, meh) while I’m reading this, and first thing I really saw was “Why are the female leads so awkward-looking in hanbok??? Especially Yoo In-na…” If she’s gonna be Queen Inhyeon, she’s really gonna have a lot to do…

    And the female leads’ eoyeom meori gache, it’s like either it really doesn’t fit in a perfect way (think Jeon In-hwa and Kang Su-yeon in “Yeoin Cheonha“) on her head, or it’s like those ready to put gache on the head. It really does look like it’s gonna fall off…
    The one doing the kisaeng role who follows JHW is arguably the one who looks best in the hanbok truthfully…

  30. 30 indigirl9000

    I’m more excited for this drama than i was for rooftop prince

  31. 31 Piopo

    aww cute she was reading her lines to him, bet he’s gonna teach her to be a better actor.

  32. 32 j6

    So excited for this!! Yoo In-na and Ji Hyun-woo look so cute together, plus there’s Kim Jin-woo *swoons*

  33. 33 Cessie

    I love this! Is Yoo Inna the lead? I’ve always wanted her to be the lead in something, she’s always playing the friend. Yay! Also, Beauty and the Beast rules. :D

  34. 34 Iny

    after watching episode 3 preview, puppy earned extra *awww* points……
