Mics at the ready for Trot Lovers
by javabeans
Just a couple more posters and then we’re there: A week out from the premiere of Trot Lovers, we’re nearly at the end of the promo wave. Which is fine, since I’m happy to begin the actual cuteness of this drama instead of just sitting here waiting in hope of future possible cuteness. Impatience—that’s just not something that ever gets better!
Above is the more standard lineup showcasing the drama’s four main leads, with primary couple Jung Eun-ji and Ji Hyun-woo on the right, and rivals/frenemies Shin Sung-rok (as the agency prez and love rival) and Lee Se-young (as agency trainee and trot rival) on the left.
(I know Shin Sung-rok has put his eeeevil You From Another Star role behind him now, but I can’t be the only one who sees him in these new stills and thinks, “Please don’t kill our leads. He’s totally going to kill them isn’t he? Somebody had better stop him from killing them.”)
The more I see Jung Eun-ji and Ji Hyun-woo together, the more I’m warming to the match, and I think her bubbly energy will go nicely with his haughty star-musician character. And we already know that they’ve both got strong voices and alternate careers in the pop industry, so I’m looking forward to hearing them belt out some tunes, peppered with lots of trot goodness. Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d say.
Trot Lovers takes over Big Man’s Monday-Tuesday slot on KBS and premieres next Monday, June 23. Sing it!

Trot Lovers' posters and teasers are definitely for comedy. It's maybe slapstick comedy which I never like. But we never know how the actual drama will turn out. So I hope it will be good and fun.
Love Jung Eun Ji and Ji Hyun Woo together. Eun Ji definitely looks really charming here.

BTOB's Hyunsik looks even more like JHW now that he's all spruced up to play a star musician

Love the actors, not sure about the plot. Fingers crossed! Also, I dont know if anyones said this previously, but I feel this should have been called Hot to Trot instead. Rhyming just makes titles better.

This one continues to remind me of You're Beautiful. If it's even half as good, I'm sold till the end.
Loving Eun-ji in the promos. Her character has the energy Shi-won used to have so I'm sure she'll pull this off just fine. Not a fan of JHW, but I like all the other cast members so here's to hoping this doesn't disappoint. I am yet to find a replacement for mon-tue since Empress Ki.

I think Ji Hyun Woo is still the best suited actor for this role, he is a not only a singer but also a talented musician and songwriter, it will be more believable to cast someone like him than some idol because his character says he is not only a singer but musician too, JHW actually plays music in real life so that's a big plus for me, i also didn't care for him as an actor before but QIHM changed all that, now i've watched almost all of his dramas and finally realized why he keeps getting lead roles, he is a very good and versatile actor with hidden charms.

Jung Eun Ji looks way too skinny in that last still. I like her better looking healthy.

Don't know if it has something to do with Photoshop or if she really looks so skinny. Her head looks disproportionately big to her frame!

this is because ACUBE her company makes Eunji and her group diet, because they think they aren't skinny enough - you can see their debut song they were healthy and cute, now most of Apink members lost so much weight.

@ javabeans: nope, you are not the only one who has that reaction about Shin Sung-Rok. and I watched his cute roles and everything, to turn my impression around, but it didn´t help. I keep looking for the ring.
I still want to know if the ring had any actual POWER, you know, like....
khmm, let´s concentrate on the new drama.
Now just how to get over the fact trot seems something really tacky

Is it the trot part that you find tacky, or their styling?

I just can't seem to build up any excitement for this show despite the fact that I like both leads. We'll just wait and see then

I'm excited to see Ji Hyun Woo!
The plot still sounds very meh to me but I find that the plots that I write off tend to be the dramas I end up really liking so I am holding out hope that is the case here. *fingers crossed*

I can't get over his hair color. I'm sorry. I know it's stupid. I just... can't get over it >_<
(P.S.- JavaBeans--- I did notice there was no new post about Joseon Gunman in like DAYS. I feel deprived. Mentally malnourished. I am totally whiny about it. I hope you understand.)

To be honest, I can't even see him as a " normal " 2nd male lead who may do bad things. I see him doing homicidal acts... which is kind of scary to imagine in this drama.
We're all sure the writers are not going to use him to off the male lead?

but it would be hilarious. maybe he is a trot producer who hates trot and wants to wipe it off the face of the planet secretly

I know he is supposed to be haughty, but please don't start him off as a jerk. I never really warm up to those type.

that main poster is bothering me so muchhh... like, they added the second lead girl's picture at last minute in Paint -not even Photoshop- and she looks out of place but yeah... I hope the show is great because I really like all of them in different projects and im yet to watch a trot drama.

I wish u can meet Shin Sung Rok the evil personally, and i'd love seeing your reaction then.. He's smiling on the poster, he could be nice.. A nice and loveable second lead (reminds me of Yoo heon seok)

Excited to see Shin Bora and Son Ho Joon's team-up... definitely will ship to them (even though I'm a big fan of the couple Bora-Kilee <3<3<3) but still looking forward to the both of them than the lead characters.. :D btw, I'm also not used to the new character of Shin Sung-rok.. I still have the feels that when things doesn't turn out right for him he will touch his ring and do something wrong.. hahahhaa :))
