Stills, stills, and more stills! With so many dramas getting ready to premiere, it’s like the promo parade everywhere I turn. Here’s our first look at the world of Time Slip Dr. Jin, post-time-slip, when Song Seung-heon goes from present-day brain surgeon to 1860s backhug-getting guy. Do you wanna be the one to tell him that you needn’t travel back in time a hundred and fifty years for one of those?
They sure look lovely though. Much more exciting than their modern-day counterparts. So while Song will be one character (the titular Doctor Jin, natch) running amok in the space-time continuum (because that’s what the cool kids are doin’ these days), Park Min-young is playing two different characters in each era — above is her Joseon-era doppelganger. Wait, does it count as two-timing if you date your girlfriend’s doppelganger? Survey says yes.
Then below are stills of Kim Jaejoong, warrior extraordinaire, and Lee Beom-soo, who’s playing an actual historical figure, Lee Ha-eung, a politician and painter, who was a member of the royal family. (The shots are of his character in disguise.) His previous character description must have been wrong, but that seems to be common where this drama is concerned. I’m just taking it all with a grain of salt, and perhaps when the show hits the air in two weeks, it’ll all make sense.
Or, it won’t, and I’ll send it back into its wormhole. Dr. Jin premieres May 26 on MBC.

I notice Jaejoong holding a gun. Did they have guns back in those days?
LOL I saw a rifle on Tamra Island… I suppose its what their import contacts provide at the time… XD
With wormholes everything is possible i guess, even weapons from another era.
What i notice is Jaejoong: Is it me or the man has lost a lot of weight? I know sageuk clothes make you appear slender but… Maybe the haircut?
I think he has lost weight – he looks laughably un-warriorlike in these stills. As mym mom used to say, it looks like a stiff wind will blow him away.
HA! and Aww. Someone feed him.
It’s in 1860′s era, at the end of Joseon,they guns. SKKS had guns in it, one of the scene had Gu Yong Ha playing with a gun.
*they have guns*
Uh-oh! If he looks slender with those layers of fabric, then JaeJoong must have lost a LOT of weight.
I worry about a stick-thin warrior. But if he has a gun and doesn’t need to do sword-swinging in fights, then maybe he doesn’t need the bulk. He only needs to assume a sideways stance to evade oncoming bullets – or swords swung from above. (Hmm.) Or even detection by a blurry-eyed enemy.
I take it back. Slender works!
Aw, I miss the sword yielding though.
well in the japanese version Jin travels back to 1860s it’s not that early.
I really hope this is as good as the Jdrama version…I watched the 1st ep and couldn’t stop…it has drama, comedy, romance, technicalities all brilliantly rolled into one…I’m not worried abt PMY, but SSH…can he do ‘ridiculous’ as well as the Japanese counterpart??? —-praying—
Jaejoong’s gun: looks like a musket to me…and yeah, mid-18c have ammunition already (taking a note from “Yi San”‘s 1st ep.)…
This is the 1860s…. if they didn’t it would be strange…
Most Awesome Bromance Moment Involving Guns was in Episode 28 of WBDS, when the Bad Guys pulled out a crapload of rifles and aimed them at Dong-soo and Woon-ah:
Dong-soo: “It looks like we’ll really die now.”
Woon-ah: “Then we’ll die together.”
::insert heartbreaking sobs here::
Oh yeah, where was I? Yes, guns were introduced during the latter part of the Joseon Era. And I’m still looking forward to this show, if only to see some time-travelling Hand Towel Action.
There were crude hand-held cannons (iron barrels mounted in wooden stock) in the early 16th century in Korea. Arquebus (early match-lock musket) came into Korea during the Japanese invasion. The Japanese got arquebus from Portuguese in the early 16th century.
To add, the Koreans invented the first multi-missile launchers during the time of King Sejong (a Joseon King of the 15th Century). So guns and ammunition aren’t odd things to the Joseon era.
But indeed, from the all the sageuks I’ve seen before, it’s quite odd for me to see a gun-wielding Joseon-era warrior. I know it existed back then, I’m just not used to the image.
guns were in korea but during that time guns were inaccurate and thus seen as inferior to swords (and there were many great warriors during that time).
The trailer already out in jyj3:
http://jyj3.net/2012/05/12/hq-video-dr-jin-teaser-teaser-trailer/
I’m sorry, the trailer makes me laugh. It seems to be taking itself MUCH too seriously. It’s gone past ‘serious’ into ‘cheesy’ territory for me.
hmmm … looks normal to me .
it is pretty silly. can’t take it seriously when hand towel is supposedly “the best surgeon in the 21st century”, maybe the best stiff would be more like it. and “must open my eyes as wide as possible” jaejoong makes me cringe, i’d take koide keisuke over him any day.
LOL .. people take this hand towel thing too seriously .. it’s too early for me to form an opinion on this drama .
and I don’t think Jeajoong character is the same as koide keisuke in the original JIN .. they add his character for this remake.
Maybe this won’t be that bad. Knocking on wood.
at 00:29…what exactly is going on there?
cause it looks like a little baby shaped tumor being inserted into some body part.
See…i am mexican and to me it looks exactly like the little baby jesus doll that is hidden inside the rosca bread during easter time. and then if you are the one that gets the baby jesus, then you have to throw the party with the tamales and atole.
Man oh man, such all great dramas airing this year.
2012, you rock.
LEE BEOM SOO! He looks so scruffy. I lub him.
I may check this drama out just for him. The rest of the casts …big MEH.
I’ve mostly seen LBS in comedic roles set in modern times, but the one thing I have seen LBS where he is dressed in sageuk garb is the film “Forbidden Quest” with Han Suk-kyu.
The film topic is a bit risque (but they really don’t show much of anything), but it is beautifully written and wondefully acted by HSK and LBS.
Really a gem of a film.
Jaejoong is looking mighty fine, all sageuked-up like that.
Seriously, the second last picture kills me every time.
Taking a cue from Yoochunnie~…XD
Although, it does kinda look like somebody slapped a Post-It note on the front of his hat…..
dang… i’m not really interested in this drama despite Jaejoong & LBS in it but….. Jaejoong looks mighty fine in traditional garb. Looks like I’m watching the first episode after all. =)
jae’s fiercing eyes,,omoo~~~
hot isn’t it?
I’m watching this show just for him. Maybe i’ll grt a jand-towel scene as a bonus from him or song, doesn’t matter either way.
I hope I am not offending anyone by saying this, but I am actually quite worried about this drama. I love the Japanese version with its strong cast. I dont know how Mr. Wet Towel could hold up the role. He has a gigantic shoes to fill. The rest of the cast looks great tho (Lee Beom-Soo!!!!). I do hope Song Seung-heon will surprise me.
Don’t worry too much about it. SSH has his amazing abs to fall back on if and when his acting fails to be up to snuff. He can just take off his shirt and we’ll all be stricken with temporary amnesia and forget that the man is trying to act.
Kidding!! Sort of… But the man is gorgeous…
In any case, I’m in for the first couple of episodes at least, out of love for LBS. And we never know, SSH might just surprise us. We can all live in hope.
agree…
Osawa Takao was excellent
Ayase Haruka was great
sorry but jaejoong really doesn’t suit those clothes! hahaha xD
i don’t know if the suits or not, but i rather like the old moustachy guy instead. (jaejoong seems more at home in modern-wear) and personally, from those pics, jaejoong seems to be channeling bad guy vibes…
oh well.
i think Jae Joong is too beautiful to act….(if there is such a thing)…it’ll be difficult coz I’ll be like…the bad guys should surrender coz the hero is so handsome, the girl should fall for him coz he’s beautiful…other logic might get lost or is futile…hahaha!!!
LOL
WOW………an actual abortion scene of a fetus…..seriously….
It’s not an abortion scene. The fetus is a tumor.
they should have made the tumor look more tumor like and less fetus like.
ikr? If no one told me I would have thought that was a fetus too, it seriously looks like the shape of one.
Well, the Mangaka put it as a fetus for a reason. Though I haven’t read the manga yet. The fetus shaped appeared in the JPN version as well. And it’s one of the key pieces in the original story. So they’re just going with the story.
LOL. JIN is your answer.
Haha! I feel so dumb now. It seriously looked like the shape of a small fetus. That’s why I was like, what? an abortion scene….no way
thanks for pointing it out….
The tumor (shaped fetus) is the reason the time-travelling occurs.
I don’t know why but the sudden influx of time travel dramas makes me laugh… I love that Korea does dramas the same way they do business. If you go there you’ll see that where there’s one coffee shop there is ten (all in the same spot). All restaurants in same spot, all clothing stores… It smart for business because if you need something like say a ladder you know where to go to find it. However, with dramas I am not sure it works the same. Because sometimes too much of one thing, just makes it old. I really hope this drama brings something unique to the table… (Other than an unsolved mystery from the past).
Such a great cast! But I have doubts about Seong Seung-heon, I hope he will give a decent performance. But I’m totally in it for Lee Beom-soo & Park Min Young. Jaejoong in sageuk garb? Hmm, indeed it doesn’t suit him.
I’m excited about this drama.
And damn Jaejoong looks hot with those clothes, and that gaze.
I can’t wait for this Dr Jin to air
Totally my fault for choking on my coffee but when you said it was JJ and LBS in disguise and I saw the first picture only…it was JJ and a horse and I thought ‘Wow, that’s a hell of a disguise’ and then began laughing like a crazy woman.
Hahahahaha~!!! Sucks to be you, then…
ROFLMAO~!!!
HAHAHA.
OMG!!! You’re so adorable!!!!
LOOOOL
Wait wait wait…
“Lee Beom-soo (YAY~!!!), who’s playing [...] Yi Ha-eung, a politician and painter, who was a member of the royal family…” – So are we dealing with the notorious Daewongun now?!!! *faint*
Sigh. I can’t stay away, it has Lee Beom-soo.
I know right?….Love love love him.
yaya~~so true.he’s a great actor and sure he’ll add dynamic in the drama besides SSh and Jaejoong^^anyways,Jaejoong sharp gaze just freeze me,hahaha…love him in the outfit
Lee Beom Soo n JJ. Two reasons to wait w excitement.
Wait, what? She played his gf? Didn’t I read last time that she played his sister in modern time? So weird.. shouldn’t Kim So Yeon played that role?
as in his gf not his sister. :\
Oh so now KSY isn’t in the drama anymore?
Such a shame. She would have been perfect.
it took me a while to realize that Dr Jin is the remake of the jdrama JIN from 2009. I was so in love with that series! i think i might just consider this on my to watch list
Jaejoong in his first sageuk! well..sort of, at least in some parts =)
This drama could be good or it could go down in beautiful beautiful flames. Keeping judgement to myself until it airs.
Also I assume they found a writer….
LOL Beautiful flames.. But very true.
I think it will be one hot mess. The supporting characters are most likely going to steal the show.
The first pic reminds me of some kind of cheap romance novel and the title can be; the time slipping, cold yet genius neurosurgeon and moi!
I don’t doubt the supporting cast at all but the two leads……..I mean Ayase Haruka can be a hit or miss but as Saki she was definitely a hit. (and not to mention Miki Nakatani who was perfection as Nokaze)
Huh, is it just me or is Jaejoong way too pretty to convincingly look like a “warrior extraordinaire”?
And Park Min-young and Song Seung-heon make such a pretty couple. @.@ But seriously, the amount of time-travelling dramas atm is a little ridiculous. XD Two (QIHM and RTP) is good enough for me.
LOL. I think JJ would be just as convincing in a role of a royal concubine.
I second that! After i saw him wear queen garb in the King’s Man parody, I can’t see him wearing a male hanbok….
For a guy to look prettier than I do is just embarrassing….
i saw the japanese version of this (both seasons) and i am REALLY excited for this one.
i’m kinda hoping it has more action than the japanese version.
looking forward to this! from the trailer released, it looks pretty good.
Hmm. Isn’t she dating LMH? Wow and they are both in the dramas that are suing each other like there is no tomorrow. Ha.
JJ looks so cute! and I had no idea LBS was in this as well. You sir have yourself a fan. So I guess this seals it then, huh? I have to watch.
They broke up a while back.
Hey, it’s Lee Beom-soo!!!Is it crazy that I’m excited about this show now that I know Lee Beom-soo’s in it? I don’t know if I’ll actually watch the show (I’ll watch the j-dorama first as is recommended by many of the show’s avid fans), but yay for Lee Beom-soo.
Am i the only one excited only for Lee Beom Soo?!! My first work of his i watched was Giant so i never knew how hilarious the guy is till History of the Salaryman, then lately av been watching lots of his movies and the dude is funny as hell. I dont care if hes not playing funny here i just love him…shame abt that ring on his finger he he!
I recommend checking out LBS in the film “Forbidden Quest” with Han Suk-kyu.
The film topic is a bit risque, but it is beautifully written and wondefully acted by HSK and LBS.
It’s not a comedy, but there is humor in the film (and much better done than most comedies I might add).
I think he is the only reason I would even bother to watch this drama. Oh, and Lee So-yeon (is she still in it?).
Love Lee Beum-soo. Hoping Jaejoong’s acting has improved since…well…since everything.
Did you watch him in ‘Protect the Boss’?
He turned in a really strong performance, much to the amazement and delight of many of us.
but he not that amazing except youre his fans he surely will amazing in your eyes..
I watched Protect the Boss as well. And although I liked the drama, to me JJ’s performance was just so so as well. It wasn’t bad, but when seen beside Ji Sung and Choi Kang Hee, I still found it lacking. But maybe that’s an unfair comparison. On the upside, he is pretty and like Carole, I hope he does even better this time.
Hmmmm…Jaejoongie…you’d be more convincing as #1 Warrior if you’re uniform consisted of bottoms only, y’know? Show that awesome body of yours…then we’ll see the comments, eh?
Somebody pass it along to the costume department!
Cant’ wait for this! Lee Beom-soo and SSH and PMK = YAY
*your
darn it, fingers! type write…right already! LOL.
^This made me laugh out loud.
I’m worried this drama may be one hot mess, but it will sure be full of pretty, pretty people. I’ll at least check it out.
How I wish Jaejoong is the main lead. I hope next time he can be the main lead
The first trailer is already out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlVqvOiI-XY
Jaejoong and his smoldering gaze. I’m burnt!
I’m wondering if there’s gonna be a Saki equivalent in this drama, because she was my favorite part of JIN.
back hugging means noble idiocy somewhere.
LOLOL. And so true.
after watching history of salaryman i adore lee beom soo. i think he is a great actor. can’t wait to see his action.
I want to see the jappanesse version before I watch this.. may I know what the tittle so I can look for it? Thanks..
Btw.. looking forward for SSH acting here..
Jin, is the title. You can find it on dramacrazy.net
wow jaejoong looks good
hope they will release more stills with Jaejoong in it.. XD
jaejoong looks so……pretty. XD
Oo, yes yes, I’ve watched that drama “Protect the Boss” & I really enjoyed with JaeJoong’s acting performance! He’s really doing so great job ~
Plus, I am fan of TVXQ, yups. Well….but it suddenly broke up… =/
Well, I will try to watch this drama because of JaeJoong, hehe. ^__^
Nice! Can’t wait! So loving the time travelling theme at the moment!
sorry but jaejoong just doesn’t look right in a saeguk he looks too much like a pretty boy and don’t suit the image well.
i have watched the japanese version Jin & Jin 2. I wonder the character of park min young will be different with the original one. That is because i have watch the teaser n it looked like she will become someone from the future(same with song seung hyun) n become the doppleganger for the past as assistant doctor for song seung hyun. What makes different is the original one, Miki(lover for Jin from future) will has a doppleganger for the past but at this time she became famous prostitute in Edo!Then I saw another female that will act as gisaeng for the korean version. I think the writer to put more romance compared to japanese one that’s why they exchange the character’s role(i’m so sad because in japanese Saki cannot have love from Jin). For jaejoong, I don’t know whether the writer also change for another character because the the 2nd guy in japanese drama is Saki’s brother so I think he will play that somekind that role.I hope this korean version will be better n good than japanese one because japanese one was already amazing!
can’t wait for this one – i luv SSH, KBS JJ also! thnx DB
Every time I look at PMY wearing hanbok, she always reminds me of Kim Yoon Hee and SKKS era. Sigh.. I think I never recover from SKKS’ madness..
