Haeundae Lovers, feeling the love for poster shoots
by | July 16, 2012 | 77 Comments

Cute. Kim Kang-woo (Story of a Man) and Jo Yeo-jung (I Need Romance) play the titular sweethearts of Haeundae Lovers, KBS’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday series, and in the drama’s first stills, they’re already looking cozy and crackling with chemistry. Maybe Jo Yeo-jung’s just the kind of actress who sparks with all her co-stars, like Yoon Eun-hye or Kim Sun-ah.

Haeundae Lovers is shooting entirely on location in Haeundae, Busan, which is where these photos from the poster shoot come from. I’m going to guess this scene takes place after elite prosecutor Kim Kang-woo loses his memory, ’cause it sounds like there’s no way his pre-amnesia personality would shack up with a gangster’s daughter. It’s kind of a conveniently perfect opposites-attract conflict… but who said that was a bad thing? Amnesia that brings people together (instead of tearing them apart with so much aaaaangst) = basically my favorite use of amnesia, always.

So far, it looks like there’s plenty of rom up in this sucker; I’m just hoping for an equally strong com element. Haeundae Lovers follows Big, premiering on August 6.

    Haeundae – makes me think about the movie – it is strange!
    A movie title means horrors for me… and not a place to live.
    It looks like another drama meddling in the 9.0 and 11.0 sry darling Kim Kang Woo:D

    Holy cow, she looks like a stick next to him! And may I just pause for a little drooling over Kim Kang-woo? I mean, the man is just so darn good-looking. There are a lot of yummy K-actors, but man, he hits all the right buttons for me. And he does smoldery so well, ala Story of a Man. ~runs off to watch~

      Wow! They look good together in these pics. I wonder how his wife can handle seeing her husband with another woman even if it’s acting. I don’t think I could! Well, I guess that’s why I didn’t marry an actor. :)

        @ birdscout –
        I had to laugh at your comment because I totally agree! I know actor’s spouses are supposed to keep an open mind about stuf like this, but knowing my….my mind would be very closed. LOL!

        • 2.1.1.1 redfox

          I know a couple of stars who had an open mind and they all got their hubby stolen.

          • 2.1.1.1.1 Anne-So

            oh snap o_o
            I didn’t think it was so … Common…

        • 2.1.1.2 sue_kl

          count me in……totally agree….

  3. Uj

    so many dramas to watch and so little time! T_T

  4. Mars

    Wow! Uh… Big chest. Sorry. That’s all I can see.

    • 4.1 Noelle

      It’s hard not to see! Her shirt isn’t helping either.

    • 4.2 bd

      Methinks Kim Kang-woo is enjoying shooting this scene.

    • 4.3 Autumn

      …and small waist.

      • 4.3.1 Nida

        I think that’s like the biggest chest I’ve seen on a Korean actress except for Park Ye Jin

        • 4.3.1.1 malta

          Han Chae Young

          LOL. Can’t believe we’re having this conversation. :)

          • 4.3.1.1.1 chara

            son ye jin too :P

          • 4.3.1.1.2 Danna

            Han Chae Young seems to have gotten them done recently she wasn’t so busty back in ’05 but Son Ye Jin is totally natural….the only thing I worry about is that considering how tiny their waists are, the disproportion can lead to some major back problems in like 5-10 years

          • 4.3.1.1.3 Roshogolla

            kim hye soo. han chae young had big ones back in delightful girl choonghyan days

          • 4.3.1.1.4 Nida

            Holy tatas!!!

            *bounce bounce jiggle bounce bounce jiggle jiggle bounce bounce jiggle jiggle bounce bounce*

          • 4.3.1.1.5 YY

            Han Chae Young was um…big? even back in the Delightful Girl days. I think her um….bigness? is natural. I remember yelling “Holy cow!” when I first caught sight of her um….God-given gifts after she shed the uniform halfway through the show. This was confirmed in BOF when she wore the slinky black sequinned evening dress, the perfect foil to Jandi’s ostrich-feathered pink horror. And I have to add Seo Woo to the list of um….outstanding standouts. Every time she appeared on screen in Tamra I would go “Whoa!” And when she donned her “swimsuit” for the deep sea diving competition, it fair took my breath away.

          • 4.3.1.1.6 sue_kl

            ha..ha..ha…it’s so noticeable not to notice….

        • 4.3.1.2 almea

          @Nida:

          You clearly haven’t seen Kim Hye Soo’s yet.

          Some pics:

            Oh wow. God was definitely feeling generous on that one. Lol

        • 4.3.1.3 KDaddict

          I’m glad everyone is noticing her boobs too. I once commented on Park Ye Jin’s and was told I was rude.

          • 4.3.1.3.1 Nida

            Rude? Really? They’re actors. They get commented upon everything regardless of how trivial and minor it is. Not noticing and commenting on ‘em would be the same as not doing our job. And we don’t want that, do we? :)

            Don’t mind them. Bunch of tight little asses. :)

          • 4.3.1.3.2 kdfan

            i felt weird noticing her boobs the minute the page popped up and then so glad i wasn’t the only one. KDaddict – this is THE thread to have this conversation :) somebody further down the thread said guy is having a hard-on LOL i totally think so. poor wifey .. i wouldn’t be happy at all if it I was the wifey..

    • 4.4 pumpkinattack

      LOL, what about them big arms and big hands???

    • 4.5 zsa

      he chest didn’t use to be that big…i’m thinking implants, or a really good bra…

      • 4.5.1 Rachael

        Not implants I think. I’d actually say the culprit was a bad bra as opposed to a good one. A properly fitted bra actually would proportion her correctly so they wouldn’t seem so out of place (though not really all that bad here), even if they are. From the side views (and especially the angled one) I think they used photoshop to hide some mega quad-boob thanks to putting her in a bra that was too small in the cups. Probably because they couldn’t use the other popular method of doubling up bras since it’s harder to do it with strapless bras.

        • 4.5.1.1 zsa

          yeah…it’s a possibility. I’ve seen her b***s before in her previous roles, and as far as I remember, they were just normal size…I think whatever was done was to make it look emm…is ‘bouncy’ the right word…so it’s not the size, it’s how they appear; hence the possibility of bra, surgery or photoshop…phew…why was this necessary anyway? It’s not even Sports Illustrated cover….it’s a drama NOT about B***s….if I were her, I’d have a thing or two to say about this whole thing…unless I like the exploitation…

          • 4.5.1.1.1 Rachael

            It could be she was in proper fitting bras for the actual dramas. An ill-fitting bra is friggin’ painful after more than an hour or two. Not to mention her clothing wouldn’t disguise a bad bra. So I’m not so sure on surgery since bad bra and photoshop can accomplish all this. Photoshop could actually augment her too. It’s funny. I actually find the posters really cute, but the bra outline is just so damn distracting because it’s showing off a bad bra fitting. I would’ve maybe ignored the barely concealed quad-boob, but not in combo with the bra. I think she doesn’t have a say as she accepted the contract. I’m not sure about explotive as more of a bad photoshop/costume job since the job of the poster was to showcase their relationship in the drama, not focus on her breasts.

      • 4.5.2 J.le

        If you’ve seen her other pictures from award shows or magazines or whatever (google it). You’ll notice that she has naturally big chest.

    • 4.6 cindy

      Errr Yoo In Na? The girl has big boobies!

  5. xixia

    Woah, this shoot is adorable! Kinda steamy too ;P
    I don’t know why, but in these pictures, Kim Kang-woo reminds me of Jang Hyuk. ><

    • 5.1 spjork

      He’s always reminded me of Kwon Sang Woo. Jang Hyuk is more beefcake, non?

  6. becca_boo

    Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.

    I am so ready for this one – like you said, amnesia that brings people closer to each other is so much better than when it rips them apart. August is looking better and better.

  7. Noelle

    Can’t wait for a trailer. Looking forward to this drama.

  8. canxi

    They look good together! Definitely have chemistry (=

  9. Mystisith

    It’s hot here… I wasn’t interested at first but I’m about to change my mind.

  10. 10 OMG

    Damn I was really planning to stop watching kdramas once school started but with this n arang and the magistrate….there goes that!!!!!

    • 10.1 OMG

      Forgot to add Nice Guy in there as well!!!

      • 10.1.1 rjyuggy

        Nice Guy!!!!!

        Im totally with you on that, I am a designer and I keep procrastinating because of these awesome dramas. LOL!

    • 10.2 sue_kl

      that was my plan too…..huh my report is piling up…..noooo maybe just a couple more drama, than i stop…

  11. 11 nabithoj

    Its not small waist and she isn’t stick skinny. If you look closely in the first picture, you’ll see photoshop to the rescue. Her body above her arm is not aligned with her body under her arm. I guess if the actress isn’t skinny enough, make her hella skinny with photoshop.

    • 11.1 Ennayra

      Yeah, I had my photoshop suspicions too. Thought I was the only one seeing it.

    • 11.2 malta

      ugh, they should really stop photoshopping already gorgeous women.

    • 11.3 shiku

      LOL! Photoshop fail.

      • 11.3.1 hyunahan

        I’m currently in Korea (practically right next to Haeundae!!) with my boyfriend and he got his passport photo done here.. they photoshopped it!

    • 11.4 Rachael

      Nice catch. I noticed it with her breasts. Hiding some quad boob there thanks to a too-small bra. Is it just me or is there a weird “shadow” on her arm as well?

  12. 12 pumpkinattack

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

    Thanks, jb! :)

  13. 13 okdubu

    boobies

  14. 14 ck1Oz

    Do you think it’s all her pink vs the white? It’s so sexy.Good cop got the hots immediately when the amnesia hit?

    • 14.1 Danna

      yes, its totally the color scheme too and it think its both sexy and cute…me likey!

  15. 15 Llpitcher

    Wow. That’s one awesome bra.

  16. 16 anna

    BOOBS!!!!! Sorry, but that’s all I see.

    • 16.1 rearwindow

      Hahah, same here.

    • 16.2 YY

      Yup, first thing I saw

  17. 17 Min-yoo

    omg i wonder if he has a hardon.

  18. 18 topper

    For the curious, check her out in the movie The Servant. Think those are natural. LOL

  19. 19 Seli

    Ummmmm… I was looking forward to this, but now not so much. They looks all kinds of chemistry-less awkward in that pic. Ugh.

    • 19.1 zsa

      correct,,,it’s like ‘omo! your boobs are on my chest’ kind of awkwardness..hehe…

  20. 20 Seli

    Ummmmm… I was looking forward to this, but now not so much. They looks all kinds of chemistry-less awkward in that pic. Ugh. Well see, I guess.

  21. 21 Rashell

    Everyone commenting on her boobs while all I could see was the HOT man in the photos! My God does that man look FINE! I can’t wait for this one. They look like they’ll have awesome chemistry.

    • 21.1 snow

      me too. can’t wait to watch kim kang woo in this. he’s smokin!

    • 21.2 Nida

      The reason why everybody is noticing her boobs and not him is because it is an understood fact of life that Kim Kang Woo is hot. Therefore, mentioning it is absolutely unnecessary. But if you would like to see pages upon pages of us drooling all over him, please check out “The Story of a Man/The Slingshot” recaps and comments :D

  22. 22 sarang

    Wow they look tight, the clothes I mean. This drama looks and sounds like the wacky kind of right, anticipating!

  23. 23 asianromance

    Those pictures shoved Haeundae lovers into my must-watch list! I like how she isn’t much shorter than him so they can look each other better in the face. A lot of dramas tend to like to keep a certain height difference between the hero and theroine.

    and I noticed her boobs too! A lot of kdrama heroines in rom-coms do tend to wear loose tops or tops that disguise their boogs, so the boobs really stand out!

  24. 24 rawr89

    in the second picture her back was freaking photoshopped.!

  25. 25 df

    the guy has a sexy profile! yum!

  26. 26 Wonbinlover

    Can’t wait to see this..isn’t she known to have a sexy body and a baby face..at least that’s what I got from watching her on happy together.

  27. 27 Lucy

    tq jb,

    Oh my! both actors nipples touching each others

    at the right spot !! mr kim’s wife must be jealous

    seeing this !.

  28. 28 MeeisLee

    Everyone is horny :P .

    Psh, I didn’t even notice the boobs or the man. I was too busy focussing on javabean’s awesome article :>.

  29. 29 MsB

    TBDAW flipped? I might have to consider this!

  30. 30 Brenda

    I am surprisingly VERY Excited for this drama to come out. I just love the whole prosecutor-turned-criminal-via amnesia-and-falls-in-love-with-mob boss’ daughter concept.

    Can’t Wait!!! =D
