Noonas give Seo In-gook pity coins in Shopping King Louis teaser
by tineybeanie
Whether a debonair dandy or scruffy vagabond, Seo In-gook (Police Unit 38) radiates cute charisma. In the latest teaser for upcoming MBC drama Shopping King Louis, we get a closer glimpse at how far the titular chaebol falls from his high pedestal to a downright grubby state, before being rescued by our heroine Go Bok-shil.
We start out with Louis in France surrounded by extravagant opulence. Then the screen cracks, and we see Seo In-gook in a Secret Garden-esque tracksuit that is decidedly far less expensive, but no less ridiculous. Our hero, who claims that he is “not a pervert or a beggar. Nothing like that,” looks to be in a situation that completely defies his prior assertion. He sleeps in public bathroom stalls, picks his nose under old newspapers, and receives coins from noonas that pity him.
Go Bok-shil, played by Nam Ji-hyun (What’s Up With This Family?), makes an impression as she freaks out and grabs Yoon Sang-hyun’s (Ms. Temper and Nam Jung-ki) collar while shouting, “Give me back my three thousand! Give me my money now!” He recognizes her, but quickly pretends she is a stranger. He goes as far as to call 119 on her, saying that a crazy lady fell in front of him. Yoon Sang-hyun misunderstood as a small-time crook? I dig it.
This survival comedy drama is about an amnesiac rich boy and a warmhearted poor girl who start a cohabitation relationship based on mutual need. It seems like there’s a lot of laughter in store for us as she teaches him fiscal responsibility and the basics of household chores.
Youthful Monday-Tuesday rom-com Shopping King Louis starts on September 21.

What raccoons?? Did he do some show that I don't know about.
Also, correct me If I am wrong but is that a girl gang trying to kidnap Gukkie in the show and our girls comes to his rescue. I don't blame them though. Its not everyday that a rich chaebol who lost his memory shows up like a pauper by the roadside and with looks to kill.

But seriously, what's up with the poor guys that have to wear sweaters in the summer dramas, are they all going for a heat stroke? And then you got the winter dramas where the actors and actresses must be getting frostbites with the little clothes they're wearing, smh.

I was doing a weird Relationship flowchart where I was connecting some of the upcoming and already airing shows with SIG's new show.
So we all know how PBG (Moonlight) is related to SIG. Then there is Ji Chang Wook (K2) who is SIG's friend. Gong Hyo Jin (Jealousy Incarnate) and SIG worked together in Master's Sun. Kang Ha Neul (Moon Lovers) and Nam Ji Hyun worked together in Angel Eyes. Oh and Lee Jong Sook (W2W- the show ended but I still added him) and SIG were together in No Breathing.
And I know how stupid and aimless a post this is. But i had to show how I spend my time even though I actually have a job in the real world.

I watched the whole squad 38. And i understand both teams views. The payback when the good guys trump is exhilarating. But on the other hand the wait for the buildup is really slow sometimes. Slooow until they reveal the truths. Its like playing polar bears game. Nobody knows who is who until final trump.

Oh Squad 38 was not boring at all for me. But then again everyone has different choices and I can see why some would find crime shows boring. Did you watch him in I Remember You? That was brilliant and had a little romance too.
His King of High School was hilariously adorable. Hope Shopping King Louie is along similar lines.

Definitely to each their own - I loved Squad 38 so much it might just be my new ultimate favorite, but wasn't too keen on King of Savvy, it just never clicked for me.
And I agree, IRY was brilliant! And more kdrama-ish than Squad 38, so perhaps less of a chance that someone would find it boring.

My SIG obsession is fairly new (it kicked off when I watched IRY in May, I liked him in AM1997 but wasn't obsessed yet) and I'm already watching all of his dramas... almost done with both Savvy and Master's Son.
Maybe I should've been saving them to watch when he is off at army, but I couldn't resist lol... once PU38 ended I was already missing him on my screen.
Maybe I will tide myself over by trying to watch all of his variety while he is at army.

yeah even in his short stints he goes all out for the laughs and is just very genuine and spontanious. he is not the restrained and cautious type, who would constantly, every second "manage his image" sort of said, rather, he seems to enjoy unexpected challenges and surprising people; that´s why he always turns in such hilarious appearances in variety. some other people are like... I am thinking, why did they even go there if they chicken out of everything?

The only drama of his I'm missing is King's Face and Love Rain. Tried Love Rain, but the cinematography bugs me way too much and not a sageuk fan. But who knows what'll happen when I have to wait two whole years lol!
And I'm saving the variety stuff of his I haven't seen yet till he goes off to army. Hopefully it'll ease it a bit. That and properly digging into his music catalogue.

It really hasn't! The past year or so I've only been listening to Korean music. There's just so much great non-KPop stuff! Their balads, indie, hiphop and rock have some seriously good songs and musicians!
And even though I don't look up the translated lyrics I feel the songs so much more than 95% of songs in English. I don't know what it is, but Koreans just seem to *feel* so much more in terms of music and acting.

September 16, 2016 at 12:00 PM
I haven't listened to a lot of Korean music but it really is quite soulful. It reminds me of music/ songs of my own country. Indians are known for their songs and dances, but if you ever listen to old Bollywood love songs, they are really melodious.

You're Indian? I had a huge obsession with India in my early teens, but never really got around to watching any Bollywood for some odd reason. I do love the dances though, so full of life!

Did you notice how of the late the dramas (including it appears this one) have been shot in this diffused hazy dimmed light? I notice the same recently with Jealousy Incarnate.

Yeah, the pastel cinematography trend is getting a bit annoying. It was present in Oh Hae-young Again and also is now used in Scarlet Heart.
I liked W's cinematography because everything was bright and vivid. That's what I think dramas should stick with, because I used to always associate K-Dramas with being nice, pretty, bright, and shiny in terms of the visuals, which I actually liked. Now everyone and everything looks so washed out!

Heol Seo Inguk! Ah, always loved him in comedy, more especially in romantic kind of drama. He has this unique talent of having a true chemistry with all his female leads, especially with Jung Eun Ji and Lee Ha Na. Even if the drama appears to be more serious in tone, Seo Inguk talents will make sure that the romance will appear as true romance, like in I Remember You and 38 Task Force. There wasn't a lot of skinship, but Seo Inguk pull it off with his eyes and his priceless facial expressions! And as for SKL, Seo Inguk is great in comedy and physical comedy, and I'm definitely rooting for this one!
