Trot Lovers busts out the sequins
by girlfriday
You really can’t have a drama about trot singers and leave out the sequins, can you? It just wouldn’t be right. Here’s another batch of stills from KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Trot Lovers, featuring second leads, fateful first encounters, and our trot-loving heroine’s penchant for sparkly outfits. Please tell me it’s something she’s wearing for an audition. On second thought, it might be funnier if she goes to the grocery store dressed that way.
There isn’t anything new in the way of plot description for this show, but in case you missed the basics: Jung Eun-ji (That Winter, The Wind Blows) stars as a wannabe trot singer who gets to work with famous star musician Ji Hyun-woo (Queen Inhyun’s Man). He thinks he’s too good for trot, but over the course of their bickering partnership he’ll eventually fall for her and turn her into a star.
Shin Sung-rok (You From Another Star) plays the agency president who will compete for the heroine’s affections, and Lee Se-young (Hot-Blooded Youth) is a trainee at the agency and future rival for Jung Eun-ji. She’s also Ji Hyun-woo’s first love, grumble grumble, which pretty much ensures that she’ll drive me crazy. And Sohn Ho-joon (Answer Me 1994) will be Ji Hyun-woo’s manager who lives in tracksuits and also dreams of being a trot singer someday. Someone get that man a Bedazzler, stat.
Trot Lovers follows Big Man and premieres June 23.

I cannot get used to the blonde highlights. It will come. I know it will. *Do it for Boong Do, JoAnne!*

Hate it. It looks like the "frosted look" that was so, so stylish back in the 70's for ladies of a certain age. My mom always went for the I-Love-Lucy henna rinse, but other moms in the neighborhood - oy.

The hair is to distract us from the granny print suit.
I've seen this pic everywhere and everyone comments on the hair instead of the suit!
See? It's already working....
I like what Sohn Hojoon is doing, alternating between light and heavy roles. I wish Song Jae Rim would try that too instead of alternating between cute killer, mysterious killer, hot killer, and repentant killer.

Mary it's to the point where I just start laughing the minute you open your mouth because I'm waiting for it.

Good Night! The man is a fashion train-wreck!
I did not even recognize him. [whimper] lol He will be fine because hair grows out and clothes can be burned.

Look at the pic below: It's gone already!
If I can get used to his new face, you can deal with the blond helmet. ;)

Forget the hair, HIS TEETH. That adorable, quirky smile has been sacrificed to orthodontia :(
Eunji looks lovely, though. I'm wondering whether the trot concept hooks people, but hope it's good.

I felt exactly the same way.
But, although his smile was absolutely adorable, it probably wouldn't age well. So - though I'll miss the adorableness - from a long-term career perspective, it was a good decision for him to get the braces during his time in the military.

I thought it was just me until I scrolled down & saw your comment. The hair is a definite NO.
Disappointed but fingers crossed that he'll get a makeover at some point & the hair will go.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who hated those highlights!
He's such an attractive guy... but those highlights + that haircut look terrible on him.

I just know already that it will be Sohn Ho Joon that will bring the most laughs with his tracksuits.
And although I watched Shin Sung Rok as a good guy in dramas before Another Star, it will take a while before Im convinced he isnt trying to kill our hero and heroine in this drama.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ poor Sung Rok! It really is an unforgettable role...
What would be funny is if he stars in a medical drama as The One Doctor Who Cares and everytime he sincerely says "I worry about your health" we'll laugh so much at the meta! ^^

Oh, I know! I know how to erase that scary character!
A variety show!
Maybe he should go as a guest luggage boy in Grandpas or Noonas Over Flowers.
Then every time he cares for the sunbaes it's extra funny.
Sunbae, are you cold?
Sunbae, I cooked this for you, please enjoy!
Sunbae, please drink this water first.
Noona, please eat carefully...
Noona, shall I fetch you some snacks..?
Noona, be careful on the steps, I'm worried about you.
Hahaha! I can already imagine how much fun Na PD's editing team will have with overlaying those innocent comments with a creepy soundtrack.

recently I watched him in an episode of Family Outing and he was so different. He was clumsy and not sure what to do, while Kim Sooroo and yoon jong shin ordered him around. It was hilarious.

Ooooh~ FO!
That must be the episode with GDragon. The one where they model and catch fish? The one where Chun Hee couldn't come?
I felt so bad for SSR, he was like a Chun Hee 2.0. If only people knew how clueless he was in "real" life.... and he was totally awkward around Hyori haha!
Have you seen Park Hae Jin's first episode? The one with chickens? :DDDDDD That was hilarious!

I agree. Unfortunately, he still looks like a killer but of course that was only a role he played.I think it might be hard for me to adjust to his new non-killer role.

Lee Se-Young looks a bit like a whole lot of hair got poured on her head and she did not even notice
I dont like that kind of music I don´t think I´ll watch a lot
but tell me when there is a meta reference for the Sung Rok character about the nail ring

There are very few girls - and almost certainly none in K-ent - who are more beautiful than Eun-ji when she smiles. Her charm is totally what gives her beauty.

I liked her in Answer 1997 and checked her group just because of her and felt more in love, she is always smilling and seems to be enjoying it, I just love it.
She even belts her high notes while smilling....

I just adore Eun-ji! I'll go through this even if it were as bad as Doctor Stranger, but the stills are making me giddy. So cute!
I'm not quite familiar with JHW; I tried the first episode of QIHM but the initial sequence turned me off almost instantly. But that's now a benefit since I don't see differences in a guy I've never seen before. I'm so looking forward to this. I need a good mon-tue fix desperately.

Jung Eunji! And my dear Boong Do. I was hoping for a not-love-square but it's Jung Eunji and Boong Do so I'm willing to give it a chance. The writer though better make the story at least decent (don't make it like Big Man where the actor chemistry isn't enough to cover the gaping plot holes).

AHHHH I'm actually so stoked for this! I mean, it's Jung Eun Ji, Ji Hyun Woo, and Sohn Ho Joon in a rom-com! I think it'll be hard to mess this one up.

Ji Hyun-Woo needs to fire his sylist - that look is awful on him. Seriously needs a redo.
