Kim Sun-ah’s enviable shoe closet
by | May 29, 2012 | 110 Comments

Okay, I take it back — I might watch this show for the shoes alone. New stills from the set of I Do, I Do show Kim Sun-ah kicking back in her character’s shoe closet, and lordy, will you look at that room? What’s a girl gotta do for a closet like that? Am suddenly eyeing my guestroom surreptitiously… What, shoes need their own space, okay?

They also need their own backlighting, apparently. And to think, all these years I forced my shoes to live in the dark! In boxes! I suppose a top shoe designer really should have a coveted collection to be true to character, but damn, that room reportedly cost $60,000 in designer shoes to fill. WUT? I suppose if my shoe collection cost more than a car, I’d build it a room in the house too. Maybe add a retina scan and humidity controls.

Though the rom-com setup seems pretty straightforward as far as plot goes, I am really looking forward to Kim’s alpha-girl character, who seems unabashedly proud of her successful career. I’m sure her relationship with the rookie noona-killer (Lee Jang-woo) will bring her down a peg or two, but I’m going to enjoy a story about a woman who likes to be on top. With good shoes to boot.

I Do, I Do premieres Wednesday on MBC.

    LOVE the shoe closet … and KSA’s look in this drama. I hope the rest of the drama delivers on the pretty and pretty fantastical.

    • 1.1 malta

      ditto!

      • 1.1.1 tunarollz

        I was vomiting rainbows at the sight of her shoes. IWANT!

        • 1.1.1.1 BakedBeans

          Me TOO ! lol i think this is the first drama where kim sun ah plays a fashion forward character .

          • 1.1.1.1.1 leonardswench

            Agreed, perhaps there will be no makeover for either lead … how refreshing would that be!?!?!

  2. Beekinga

    Imelda Marcos redux?

    That is one thing that I’ve noticed about girls regardless of origin creed and status…we love shoes and can’t have enough!

    • 2.1 Celest

      LOL…totally thought the same thing

      At the same time, O_O!!! I would LOVE to have a shoe collection like that

    • 2.2 spjork

      Well, it’s either shoes or handbags, isn’t it.

      A girl’s got a tough choice on her hands– financial security in old age with stocks/bonds/pensions or fancy shoes and handbags lined up in colour order?

      Shoes and handbags for me, I’m afraid!

    • 2.3 K

      Totally Imeldific. :)

  3. Kim Yoonmi

    I’m not that into shoes, but wow~

    • 3.1 Carinne

      I feel like a talking parrot now. ε=( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

  4. yumi

    This reminds me of pictures I’ve seen of Oprah’s closet.

    http://www.google.com/search?q=oprah%27s+closet&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=U7T&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=CTDFT83QEKTe2QWt4tTYAQ&ved=0CFwQsAQ&biw=978&bih=750

    People in New York often complain of living in closet size spaces. But there are some closets that would be a step up from my two-bedroom apartment.

    • 4.1 houstontwin

      Wow! Oprah’s closet is positively obscene!

      • 4.1.1 Mashimomo

        This also reminds me of Mariah Carey’s shoe ROOM on MTV Cribs. And to think some of us live in a closet.

        • 4.1.1.1 Yumi

          Some of us wished we lived in those closets. It would be a step up.

          • 4.1.1.1.1 Mashimomo

            Ohhh yeah, I wouldn’t mind filling up my closet house with THAT either! :D

        • 4.1.1.2 daniela

          I sow that show too! it should be illegal! I was in shock for quite long after :D

          The shoes haven!

  5. Kat

    Sorry KSA, I think finally I can’t watch. I can’t get used to that hair cut.

    • 5.1 houstontwin

      I think she looks great!

      • 5.1.1 ravens_nest

        OMG, I love her short cut! So stylish~!

        • 5.1.1.1 satsuki92

          @ravens_ nest ME TOO! i think she’s totally rocking that hair cut

    • 5.2 MJ

      She looks cougar-rific.

      • 5.2.1 houstontwin

        Cougar-rific? I like that!

    • 5.3 zsa

      wow…that’s really deep (sarcasm intended)…

  6. MsB

    WOW! Might watch for the shoes too! Hope it holds my interest!

  7. halaure

    I dunno. . . Watching dramas for the shoes’ sake isn’t always the best idea. I mean, I did that with My Princess and got a whole lot of boring mixed in with the cute.

    • 7.1 Llamaesque

      The last accessory-designer drama I watched was Me Too, Flower :b I hope this doesn’t turn into another high-rconcept, low-logic luxury goods train wreck.

  8. POGA

    Holy…can I have that shoe closet, please? O.O That is amazing. I think I’d watch the show just to get a peek of the shoes, too.

  9. Mystisith

    I guess i will be one of the few who watch this only for the pairing… of lovers. And not shoes. :)

    • 9.1 aya

      Don’t worry your not alone…

    • 9.2 canxi

      I’m with ya Mysti! :)

    • 9.3 jomo

      Me quatre.
      Shoes are those things people make me wear when I leave house. After so many years of heels with business suits, I was soooo happy to go to low heels or no heels when we all went casual.

      • 9.3.1 houstontwin

        I can’t wear gorgeous shoes (bad feet!) but I still can appreciate them as art objects.

        • 9.3.1.1 spjork

          Have you got really wide feet or is it bunions?

          Whatever it is, you have my sympathies!

    • 9.4 Fiona

      wear and tear no sentiment except put it in museum

    • 9.5 jastinel

      I`m sure, after a few episode, many of us here will be interested with the plot and not the shoes alone, KSA superb acting is more powerful than any item on the shelves. Lets wait and see, it`s not that hard to appreciate a good drama!

    • 9.6 zsa

      na do na do…and park gun hyung…i’m there for him too:-))))

  10. 10 tambok

    Absolutely imeldific! $60,000?!! Ha! If Madam Imelda sees that, she’ll up it to 6 digits or more.

    • 10.1 Rovi

      True, true…XP

  11. 11 Sunshine

    holy cow look at hose shoes! cant wait for this show now! always love a girl that proud and successful in her career

  12. 12 momogi

    ack ack ACK I WANT ONE!!!!

    what am I should do to have those?? I’LL DO ANYTHING!!!!!

  13. 13 hipployta

    My shoes cost more than a car but they also suffer in boxes because when they are displayed like that there is a ton of dust and the lights fade them.

  14. 14 anna

    I love shoes, but these are pretty tacky looking.

    • 14.1 kopytko

      true.
      And uncomfortable, but that seems a fashion-unconscious thing to say ;P

  15. 15 aya

    It Starts TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love The Shoes and All, but I’m in it for Kim Sun Ah

  16. 16 PhoenixFan

    Whoa. Up til now, my favorite shoe closet was in Overboard, but I want one too (sigh).

    • 16.1 schlieren

      Oh my goodness! Me too! I don’t think I’ve ever even met another person outside of my family who’s seen that movie. Would kill for something like it to put my shoes in.

  17. 17 kyary

    OMG, I need that shoe closet!

  18. 18 kopytko

    I won’t watch this drama. I cannot identify myself or sympatize with a person who’s got a taste for such shoes. Show me a character with a fancy fountain pen! That would be a different conversation…

    • 18.1 canxi

      Well, she’s a shoe designer, I’m sure she works with quite a few fancy pens, and pencils, and markers…

      • 18.1.1 kopytko

        Actually, do Koreans use fountain pens? I wonder what is it like to write hangul with a fountain pen. I can imagine it could be rather uncomfortable.

    • 18.2 Mystisith

      Oh,come on! Maybe we will have a make down instead of a make up… I would kill to have LJW at my feet, lacing a good old pair of Converse.

      • 18.2.1 kopytko

        I guess it’s an anti-fetish. I knew I would never watch Prosecutor Princess the very moment I saw the poster… Shoes scared me away… It’s stronger than me.

        • 18.2.1.1 trixicopper

          I’m just the opposite! I thought the shoes in PP deserved their own credits. :) What can I say, shoes and hand bags. It’s another addiction.It’s gotten so bad my girlfriends check out my closet first before going shopping. :)

          • 18.2.1.1.1 houstontwin

            Me too. Loved the shoes!

  19. 19 canxi

    “…but I’m going to enjoy a story about a woman who likes to be on top”

    Stop it gutter mind, stop it !!!! >____<;;
    But yep, I'm looking forward to this show.

  20. 20 lovedramas

    I will definitely be tuning in to see if I will like it. :) That is an amazing collection of shoes. I guess one would have to love them a lot in the position that she’s in. Unfortunately I don’t really have any nice shoes nor the room to store them. I must admit that I hate having to store shoes… cause unless my closet looks like that (which it does not, but don’t I wish), shoes just don’t store properly and then end up heaped in a pile in our hallway or in our closet. Even as it is, I have too much shoes… cheap but a lot. A girl just has to have a lot of shoes – otherwise things don’t match at all. LOL I hope this one is good!

    KSA and company – Fighting!

  21. 21 kumi

    So, she’s a shoemaker?

    • 21.1 ladida

      Bahahahahahaha!

  22. 22 ladida

    Shooeeesssss… Can’t wait for the premiere tomorrow! I’ll uses this show and Bridal Mask to get over my sadness about the last 4 (only 4!) episodes of Queen In Hyun’s Man.

  23. 23 Ani

    I’m going to enjoy a story about a woman who likes to be on top.

    Um… Hahahahaha. I’m not a fan of those kinds of shoes. Girly-girl shoes and high heels (er, kill heels?) are not my thing. But put me in front of a collection of skater shoes, sport shoes and sneakers and see Ani melt. Although, for odd reasons, I draw the line at Basketball shoes. Just not my thing. Hahaha. I guess girls do love their shoes, just depending on the type. Hee.

    • 23.1 Lisa

      I was thinking that I’m not into shoes, but the last line of your posting hit home. I have ten pairs or Tevas. So yes, I may not be into killer shoes, but I am into shoes (or flip flops at least).

  24. 24 Cynthia

    OMG.
    What’s NOT to love, here?!
    Kick-ass shoes, an uber closet and upcoming scenes of Jang-woo in bed doing the deed?!
    Grab a seat, this bus is leaving for my fantasyland.

    And please tell me that the blue, round table with all those shoes is a lazy susan? So I can sit and just twirl the table to whichever pair I want to pet…..

    :)

  25. 25 Carinne

    I’m gonna laugh in stitches if this show ruins real lives fulfilling cravings for more shoes. And I do know someone (a starving twig) who will choose shoes over food.

    I am curious when the finale comes around, how many more pairs of shoes did any followers expand in their footwear collection. Be honest if you went and bought more shoes because of this show.

  26. 26 dee

    can i have those.. give me just one shoes.. and i’ ll thrill

  27. 27 asianromance

    I’m not that much of a shoe person, especially when I have trouble walking in anything that aren’t sneakers. However, I do like the brownish-gold bootie she’s holding in one of the pics.

  28. 28 ulaulo

    imelda marcos…

  29. 29 Noelle

    Ya know KSA goes in there to relax in between scenes. It’s paradise after all. Can’t wait.

  30. 30 Kiki

    My very first thought was “I bet someone on IKEA hackers could diy that bad boy using Billy shelves.” So I looked, and someone has definitely given it a try (including lighting!)

    • 30.1 spjork

      Boots up to the rafters! I’ve never seen so many in one place.

      Totally curious about that woman’s dress sense now.

  31. 31 Reg

  34. 34 annashee

    jealous to the max!

  35. 35 sulyn

    The drama looks promising and the second lead is real dashing. It’s a must-watch for me tonight. KSA, fighting!

  36. 36 Anvesha

    WOW love the shoes!!

  37. 37 sora

    i didn’t plan to watch this, but now i do..LOL

  38. 38 hpn88

    Settles it – NOT WATCHING. Shoe envy leads me to online shop which my bank account cannot handle at this point.

  39. 39 daina

    thanks gf,

    One day, 20 shoes to wear !

    and also read an article that she took off

    “some of her clothings” during the bed scene for artisty

    purpose, wow !! lucky young man !

    • 39.1 aya

      Article PLZ!!!!!! >.<

        • 39.1.1.1 aya

          Thanks it helped lots

        • 39.1.1.2 Mystisith

          Sidenote: Sad (and relieved on a twisted way) to see than the comments on Yahoo international are equally stupid as the ones on Yahoo France. My ggoshh…. I feel ashamed of the human race sometimes.

          • 39.1.1.2.1 aya

            I Know. It was more than SAD, i had to come back to drama land to erase those comments out of my head with ones that true loves her.

  40. 40 spjork

    My humble wall of shoes.

    http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i57/spjork/DSC02578.jpg

    Of course, the really nice ones have been safely packed away.

  41. 41 J

    JB and GF, are you guys gonna check out Bridal Mask too? I am beyond excited for that one and there seems to be nary a mention of it here for the past week. Last week came the (IMO) super exciting trailer and I was waiting all weekend for you to mention it. Please at least check it out, you pretty unnis!xD

  42. 42 VanillaSalt

    I may just watch it for the fashion. I love her outfits!!

  43. 43 Yue

    Yes, I will most definitely watch the show for the shoes alone. I mean, seriously, just look at those shoes, enough to make any girl drool!

  44. 44 hit_me_you_die

  45. 45 aya

    I’m still hoping samsooki will recap this…. I miss his recaps

  46. 46 iceslmarsheart

    Sophisticated Kim Sun Ah..definitely gonna watch this one. It has some Prosecutor Princess touch because of the shoes obsession…I want her Shoe closet!!!!!! Totally enviable..

  47. 47 Veronica

    Jesus effin Christ!!! How can Sun Ah get any more beautiful and awesome with time??? Girl gotta share her beauty secrets, she looks amazing!!!! :)

  48. 48 peony

    drooooool…

  49. 49 nabithoj

    I don’t know if I’ll watchtthis drama even if I love shoes!! >.< One thing that I hate about Kim Sun Ah is her hair!! My goodness that is an ugly haircut for women of all ages!! If you ain't a cute little girl, the cut will mk,e you look weird and unflattering, imo. I hate cuts like this on women…it makes me angsty and I can't take the characters seriously cause their hair is so ugly… :'(

  50. 50 MAC

    Is KSA’s eyebrows really that bushy? Or am I just seeing things in the last photo?
