Music-inspired dreams, jealousy, romance in KBS’s Page Turner

by girlfriday

Yay, we finally have an airdate for the KBS 3-episode mini drama Page Turner, and posters have been released along with the announcement. The series from I Hear Your Voice writer Park Hye-ryun reunites her with actress Kim So-hyun (Who Are You—School 2015), and in the teasers she’s a hair-flipping, smart-mouthed sassypants, much like her I Hear Your Voice character.

Kim So-hyun stars as a genius pianist with a haughty attitude, a promising student who always wins first place. Her biggest rival is Shin Jae-ha (Sassy Go Go), the guy who always comes in second and seethes with jealousy at her natural skill. In their teaser and her poster, she tells him, “I’m not a genius — you’re just not much of anything.” Ouch.

It’s Ji-soo (Sassy Go Go) who will change her, when a twist of fate involves them in an accident that alters their futures. He’s an athlete with a personality like a bulldozer, and he’ll come to find a second dream in playing the piano. His poster’s tagline is: “That dream is so incredible that I’ve come to want to live in that dream.” Shin Jae-ha’s poster asks for Kim So-hyun and Ji-soo to “be judged by the fires of hell.” Yeesh. That’s one intense kid.

The teasers feature some adorable bickering between Kim So-hyun and Ji-soo, over what appear to be piano lessons that she’s giving him, much to her frustration. He just smiles and asks what time he should pick her up at her house, and endures a barrage of complaints and insults as she tries to teach him to play. Man, I hope Ji-soo pulls a Dream High and ends up being the real genius who blows both the classical students out of the water. Though really, I’ll just be happy if he gets the girl this time.

Page Turner will air for three weeks on Saturday nights beginning March 26.

just. look at the way ji-soo is looking at kim so-hyun. the chemistry between them is amazing! i wish they would do a full-length miniseries. even though youth dramas usually do terribly, a drama with the two of them and a good writer and pd would hit it big. i mean, school 2015 and angry mom were both youth dramas that ended with good ratings. well, good according to today's standards, but yeah.

You know, it's nice to be reminded of Kim So-hyun's villain-playing days, I feel like all that experience playing bad girls actually gives her performance a bit more bite than most child actresses normally have.

And Ji-soo! It's good to see him play a primary lead in something, and this cast is A++ - Shin Jae-ha can be SO different between roles, too.

Intense kids, those.

KSH is so sassy here, I love it! And finally... Ji Soo *will, undoubtedly* get the girl. There's no other option I'm willing to consider. None at all.

Don't be so sure lol.

I want him to get the girl too but idk if the drama will actually make a romance between him and KSH or make her rival guy the one who's meant for her in the end. Kdramas like to pair up otp who dislike each other at first....

They should of made this a full length series than Moorim school tbh. Based on the teasers, the characters look great and the casting is A++. I can already sense good chemistry between the leads. I just really hope that KSH and jisoo can reunite in another drama:)

Yay Kim So Hyun!! I think I'm going to like her character a lot. She seems like she has no chill. Same with Shin Jae Ha's character... fires of hell.... kid is so melodramatic... LOL.

I don't know if this is going to be a love triangle or whatever but these teasers make it seem like Ji Soo x Shin Jae Ha is more romantic than Kim So Hyun x Shin Jae Ha, loool. I mean, I totally get it, I would fight over Ji Soo too xD

Kim So Hyun and Ji Soo look super cute together!! I just want to pinch their cheeks :33

Thank you for the links.

So, basically, Ji-soo's and So-hyun's characters are exactly the same. Smart-mouthed sassy-pants.
But, when they are together, its basically So-hyun wins over him. lol
Can't wait for this >.<

Hm ... can't KSH act with actors her age? She is still underage.

Poeple complained about Kim Saeron acting with Yoon Shi-yoon but here isn't the same ??

KSH is acting with older actors all the time...

Same for Moon Geun young, she played romantic lead in movies with actors 10 years older than her, when she was still underage

March 9, 2016 at 9:15 PM

you really think a 16 year old acting with a 22 year old is the same as a 15 year old playing the love interest of a freaking THIRTY year old guy??

Required fields are marked *

Ayata1121

March 9, 2016 at 9:29 PM

Definitely not the same. The oldest actor sohyun would normally act with is usually no more than 6 years older than her. Also she acts with older guys but in a school context so it's age appropriate for her to be in these dramas. On the other hand, YSY is TWICE saeron's age. Not to mention they are playing adult roles, not one in a school context.

Kim So Hyun's character here reminds me of School 2015's Eun Byul a lot, but this is the less elegant and less majestic version of EB. Ah I miss Eun Byul. Hopefully this will soothe my ache for what School 2015 did to Eun Byul.

Eun Byul's character + my fav writer Park Hye Ryun = I'm in it

i so agree with you!!
Eun Byul is the bad girl-less talk girl
too bad that the writer didnt fully utilize EB's character..

and this one is a bad girl/nagger lol...
im so excited for this drama comeback of Kim So Hyun

It feels like forever that I almost forget about it. I read the title and went "Page Turner, hmmm.. The title sounds familiar" XD

Ahhh I love so many things in those teasers I can't even. The SGG boys' scenes, Kim So-hyun and Ji-soo, Kim So-hyun's fabulous hair-flipping. In short, I. Can't. Wait!!!
