First poster revealed for Bisang

javabeans — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:48:04 +0000

Thus far, press for Kim Bum’s new movie Bisang [비상] — in which he plays a nightclub host — hasn’t really focused on his co-star Bae Soo-bin (Angel’s Temptation), but the actor gets prominent placement in the newly released poster for the film. Both actors play smooth characters, but they harbor opposing views on love: Bae plays a man who doesn’t believe in it, while Kim Bum’s character is the type to risk everything for it.

The action-melodrama also features actresses Kim Byul (as Kim Bum’s love interest) and Lee Chae-young (Iron Empress). It releases on December 3.

SBS premieres new series Angel’s Temptation

javabeans — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:40:22 +0000

Han Sang-jin of the just-ended Sons of Sol Pharmacy and Bae Soo-bin of Brilliant Legacy are two actors from the #1 and #2 dramas of the year (ratings-wise), and now they team up for Angel’s Temptation, which is SBS’s new revenge drama premiering today.

The interesting thing about this casting, as mentioned before, is that both men play the same character. And forget the nice, warm image portrayed by both men in their previous dramas; in case the guyliner wasn’t a tip-off, we’ve got a bad boy on our hands. Han Sang-jin marries the character played by Lee So-yeon (Why Did You Come To Our House) without knowing that she is solely out to avenge her own family; because of his father, her parents died and she lost her younger sister. Originally a nice guy from a rich family, he is a devoted husband completely in love with his wife, who only pretends to love him back. Therefore, he is heartbroken to learn of his wife’s adultery and undergoes a complete personality turnaround. Deciding on an extreme makeover, he undergoes drastic plastic surgery to emerge with Bae Soo-bin’s face and a revenge scheme of his own. (He also apparently shrinks an inch or so in the process, but we won’t quibble over little things like that, will we?)

If you’re only interested in seeing Bae’s appearance, you can wait until November 3; he doesn’t show up until Episode 8. But personally, I think Han Sang-jin is wonderfully warm, as we saw in Sol Pharmacy — enough that it might be painful watching his heart break into itty bitty little pieces onscreen.

Angel’s Temptation begins this week, and airs a full hour earlier than the traditional prime-time slot to avoid competition with MBC’s Queen Seon-deok.

Bae Soo-bin walks for Andre Kim

javabeans — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:55:43 +0000

At this point, there’s really no point in getting excited about another Andre Kim runway show, but his latest one features Bae Soo-bin, whom I know many of you love, so here goes!

The show was held on the evening of September 15 under the title “Starry Night in the Palace.” (I suppose the opulent designs are supposed to evoke royal imagery, but really, it’s not new to this show; we’ve all seen this before.) The show featured, aside from Bae, actress Jang Seo-hee (Wife’s Temptation).

It’s revenge vs. revenge in Angel’s Temptation

javabeans — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:43:12 +0000

Bae Soo-bin won over viewers with his appealing character in Brilliant Legacy, but takes a different turn as a revenge-seeker in SBS’s upcoming makjang drama Angel’s Temptation [천사의 유혹].

The drama comes from the writer of Wife’s Temptation and director of First Wives Club, and had initially cast Yoon So-yi in the lead role. However, Yoon dropped out citing health concerns, and Lee So-yeon (Why Did You Come to Our House) was brought in to replace her.

In Angel’s Temptation, the lead character (Lee So-yeon) seeks revenge for the ruin of her family, and marries into her enemy’s household. Her husband discovers her intent belatedly and decides on his own revenge. However, he loses everything in an accident, and resurfaces with his revenge plans intact — but with another face.

Sound familiar? However, Angel’s Temptation differs from Wife’s Temptation, in which Jang Seo-hee played two different roles. Here, the character’s two different looks will be portrayed by different actors — the “before” character will be taken on by Han Sang-jin, who is currently acting as lovable doof Sun-pung in Sons of Sol Pharmacy. Bae Soo-bin makes his appearance after the character undergoes plastic surgery.

Angel’s Temptation has also cast Kim Tae-hyun of White Lies, and will take over Dream’s timeslot on Mondays and Tuesday nights. The drama begins filming this weekend and will premiere in October.

Bae Soo-bin is Aeja’s hapless boyfriend

javabeans — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:13:52 +0000

Bae Soo-bin just wrapped his previous role as the much-loved Jun-sae character in Brilliant Legacy, but he takes a completely different turn with his latest role as Choi Kang-hee’s man in the movie Aeja [애자], where Choi plays the title character.

While his Brilliant Legacy image was gentle and supportive, the “Chul-min” character he plays in Aeja is rather pathetic. His good job as a home-shopping channel producer and his good looks make him well-liked among other ladies, but once he’s in front of his overbearing girlfriend Aeja, he’s reduced to a hapless, klutzy guy who is devoted to her. In a word, he’s whipped. Bae Soo-bin is reportedly drawing notice for his laugh-inducing performance as the sad-sack boyfriend.

Brilliant Legacy gets extended

javabeans — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 04:01:44 +0000

A drama that performs well right out of the gate is a drama the broadcast station wants to hold on to, so it’s no surprise that SBS’s Brilliant Legacy has confirmed a two-episode extension. Currently halfway through its run, the series is closing in on 30% ratings.

Furthermore, a source from the production team said on the 4th that talks are still ongoing to add another two episodes on top of that. The drama was originally planned for a 24-episode broadcast, which means that it will now end with Episode 26, and possibly Episode 28 pending the additional extension.

The drama stars young actors (in order of photo) Bae Soo-bin, Han Hyo-joo, Lee Seung-gi, and Moon Chae-won and airs on SBS on weekends.

Bae Soo-bin brightens up Brilliant Legacy

javabeans — Sun, 31 May 2009 06:30:40 +0000

SBS’s weekend drama Brilliant Legacy continues to perform well. No, I’m still not following it — I just don’t think it’s for me — but by all accounts it’s zipping along nicely.

The leads are the fresh-faced and cute Lee Seung-gi and Han Hyo-joo; but although he’s not the lead character, actor Bae Soo-bin is attracting a lot of attention for his portrayal of his character Jun-sae. Below is a recent interview with the 32-year-old (also of dramas Painter of the Wind, Jumong) about his current role.
