Wow, just take a look at how gorgeous these latest photos are of Kim Hyun-joo (Partner), which the actress shot for Sure Magazine’s upcoming October issue.

Kim Hyun-joo featured on Partner OST

javabeans — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:49:24 +0000

Who knew that Kim Hyun-joo could sing? She’s currently the star of the current KBS drama Partner, and now also makes her singing debut with a track for the series soundtrack titled “Promise” ["약속"].

In the drama, she plays the newest lawyer at a firm who clashes with one of its partners (Lee Dong-wook) when her idealism contrasts with his more realistic (or one might say cynical) approach to law. (Sparks fly and romance develops.)

At a July 8 press conference, Kim expressed her feelings on the experience, saying, “As someone who isn’t a professional singer, I’m very satisfied with it. I even received some praise from the songwriter.”

“Promise” goes live on online music sites on July 10, while the album goes on sale on the 15th. Meanwhile, the drama aired its fifth and sixths episodes this week.

Partner: Episode 1

javabeans — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:31:53 +0000

Partner got off to its start this week, and it was kind of like I expected: flawed but fairly entertaining. Not a fabulous story, and there are some pretty big plot holes, but the acting keeps it afloat. I hadn’t realized just how much I’d missed Lee Dong-wook — but he is SO enjoyable.

Partner production press conference

javabeans — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:03:29 +0000

With less than a week left till the premiere of new legal drama Partner [파트너], the cast was on hand at the series production press conference on June 19. The drama is KBS’s new Wednesday-Thursday offering and stars Kim Hyun-joo (Insoon is Pretty) and Lee Dong-wook (La Dolce Vita).

Partner is described as showing a realistic look at the Korean legal system, although the preview stills make it seem as though there’s a strong comic bent. (I suppose we’ll have to wait and see what the tone ends up being, but with the first episode ready to go on June 24, we won’t have long to wait.

Stills from Partner’s courtroom

javabeans — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:16:52 +0000

KBS’s Partner is readying for its premiere next week and, to whet our appetites some more, has released yet more stills from the drama, which feature its stars goofing off together on set.

Following the end of Accidental Couple this week, Partner pairs Kim Hyun-joo with Lee Dong-wook in an opposites-attract story in a high-powered law firm setting. These stills were filmed in the drama’s courtroom set, located in Paju.

Producers boasted pride in the compatibility of their leads, who have been playing well off each other both onscreen and off as they rest between takes: “It’s not just with their acting, but they’re also perfect partners in joking around.”

Kim Hyun-joo puts up her dukes

javabeans — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:54:02 +0000

More new stills are out from law drama Partner, and feature main star Kim Hyun-joo (as an “ajumma lawyer”) getting into the boxing ring — with a middle school student.

In this particular episode, Kim’s character takes on a physical bout with disorderly young students. And no, it’s not a Dal Ja-like fantasy sequence; a producer explains that in the scene, she’s teaching a lesson to rowdy neighborhood delinquents, “and rather than scolding them with a lecture, she chooses to confront them directly.” To prepare, Kim spent a week at action school, training every day for her scene.

The drama airs its first episode on June 24, following Accidental Couple on KBS.

Lee Dong-wook

Sorry, sorry! I try not to write too much about one thing at once (as a reader, I prefer reading about diverse projects rather than the same thing all the time), but I saw these new stills and couldn’t NOT share, right? Ah, well, when it rains (news) it pours.

Check out new stills of Partner, featuring the four main characters played by Kim Hyun-joo, Lee Dong-wook, Choi Chul-ho, and Honey Lee.
