Dear kdrama TPTB, do you truly love me this much?

Do you truly love me enough to cast Lee Seo Jin as the lead in a 60 episode period kdrama?



The series is Yi San - King Jeong Jo, and the main character is described as "Jeong-Jo is Joseon's 22nd Monarch who is remembered in Korean history as one of Korea's greatest Kings who loved the people and reigned for the commoner."

It has the same director as Dae Jang Geum/Jewel of the Palace and Seo Dong Yo,  and about half the cast seems to be from Dae Jang Geum, and a few from Seo Dong Yo.  This, of course, makes seeing moth series a bit more of a priority.  Also, I believe the main actress is the girl from Capital Scandal (high on my list to watch)

I come bearing a very small picspam of promo pics.

I don't think all the pics in this one are  for Yi San, just some:

How lovely! AND NO BEARD WHATSOEVER! They are catching up with user preferences! And Bae Yong Jun's "The Story of the First King's Four Gods" and his long hair is killing me!

Seriously. I finally think I might get Yonfluenza.

well...it looks like there'll be a beard part of the time, but a much more controlled one.

BYJ has very...wuxia...hair in the pics I've seen.

Ahhhhh!!!

I had heard about this drama but had not seen any pics for it until this!

There is truly a god!!!

I don't like beards at all...but I must confess to a teeny tiney bit of disappointment when I saw the lovely Lee Seo Jin without one...i guess i equate seeing him in period dramas with a beard and him in contemporary dramas sans beard! Somehow, with the beard, it just seems more manly and more suitable for MANPAIN, or course, I could just be projecting from DAMO-ooo!!!

LSJ can work the beard better than any other, really.

Oh, and it appears he loves a serving girl here, too.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I usually don't watch historical dramas but the abundance of hotness in this drama may compel me to give it a try.

Watch Damo.

Trust me.
