The one and a half faces of Lee Beom-soo for noir drama Last

Omgahhhhhh, Last, you’re killin’ me here. Why won’t any of your videos move? Why don’t people say things, do things, act things? Why is this your promotional strategy, JTBC?

This teaser picture features Lee Beom-soo as an underworld boss who clashes with the series’ protagonist, Yoon Kye-sang, the fund manager who loses everything in a bad deal and sinks into Seoul’s underground society. The caption reads: “It’s when I hit rock bottom that I know what kind of person I am.”

Last comes from PD Jo Nam-gook of The Chaser, Yawang, and Empire of Gold and is written by Han Ji-hoon of Temptation and Time of Dog and Wolf (also Dr. Jin, but maybe we can ignore that?). It premieres on July 24 as JTBC’s next Friday-Saturday drama. Presumably, pictures will move in the final product, but I dunno, I’m not convinced of that just yet.

I told you they'd have animated eyebrows next. Ori the Oracle knows.

LOL,@Orion!
How about an Oscar Award for best eyebrow acting, then?
Just kiddin'! ;-) I love both actors and JTBC has been better than most networks (even our precious tvN) for some time now, all things considered.
Maybe they're just too eager to show us the quality of their drama, plus cast and crew. Even if it feels slightly weird, you must admit someone in that production team has tried to bring smth out of the ordinary off :-)

I might be having fun joking here and I do find jb's humorous frustration amusing, but I actually really like these videos. :P Not only did they start off early enough and provide something, they also have a consistent style. And one which appeals to me a lot too, as a fan and someone who studied interactive media. It keeps its concept of using photos mostly intact, focuses on the actors, maintains its color scheme etc.

How many dramas do we see which make a bunch of unrelated videos and posters and somehow call those a concept, trying to appeal to all audiences as if every show is for everyone? I especially loathe those which make posters belonging in entirely different genres and teasers which end up belonging in a show never made. I'd rather have a slideshow which is nicely done, remains in one genre and tone, has one style and does its job (to tease) than any of those, frankly.

I do hope they provide a video soon and I think they should have spaced these teasers out a bit more, given we still have about a month to go, but design-wise they're great.

LOL.

Maybe it's JTCB's new experiment which will spill over from teasers to dramas? Maybe I'll tune in just to find out.

Perhaps if they put all the images in a book and flipped the pages fast we could see some animation?

An idea since they are clearly stuck on, albeit nicely stylized, images.

Let them act, I say!

That's all we need to know lol.

Dr Jin had 2 writers. I'm going to blame the other writer since he/she also wrote Spy MyeongWol.

Spy Myung Wol had a carousel of writers, so it's hard to blame any one person when a writer was switched in every few weeks.

That's some great acting by Lee Beom Soo, just in those stills.

All the video we got was a couple of seconds of guys gurgling in the first teaser. We can just listen to that gurgle until they decide to show us the actual drama.

Maybe the entire drama will just be a slideshow of photographs of the cast in action.
