[Drama 2013] Advertising Genius Lee Tae-baek 광고천재 이태백

[prissymom]

@achil welcome to the thread!


Preliminary photos from the poster shoot.

KBS2 새 월화극 '광고천재 이태백'의 포스터 촬영이 화기애애한 분위기 속에서 진행됐다.

지난 15일 서울 논현동의 한 스튜디오에서 진행된 포스터 촬영에는 네 명의 주인공 진구(이태백 역), 박하선(백지윤 역), 조현재(애디 강 역), 한채영(고아리 역)을 비롯해 드라마를 이끌어나갈 배우들이 대거 참석한 가운데 화기애애한 분위기 속에서 촬영을 마쳤다. 

진구는 근성 있는 성격의 이태백답게 촬영장을 유쾌한 분위기로 이끌었으며 상큼발랄 백지윤으로 변신한 박하선은 비타민 역할을 톡톡히 해냈다. 또, 조현재는 완벽한 핏을 자랑하는 수트를 입고 등장해 여자 스태프들을 설레게 만들었고 한채영은 몸에 딱 맞는 원피스로 여전한 몸매를 과시했다. 

이처럼 네 사람은 각자의 캐릭터에 걸맞은 스타일로 완벽 분해 가진 매력을 한껏 끌어올렸고 서로의 사진을 모니터링 해주며 끈끈한 팀워크를 과시해 환상의 호흡을 예감케 했다.

특히 남자배우들은 여배우들을 배려해 촬영 순서를 양보하고 서로를 극 중 이름으로 칭해 부르는 등 훈훈한 모습을 보이는가 하면 촬영 중간에 틈틈이 주어진 꿀맛 같은 쉬는 시간에도 대본을 손에서 놓지 않는 모습을 보여 드라마에 대한 애착을 드러냈다는 후문이다. 

황영철 사진작가는 "이른 아침부터 진행된 촬영 임에도 불구 배우들이 힘든 내색 없이 시종일관 밝은 태도를 보여 즐겁게 촬영을 끝마칠 수 있었다. 엄청난 집중력으로 촬영해 임해준 배우들 덕분에 베스트 컷들이 너무 많아 사진 고르기가 힘들 정도"라며 배우들을 칭찬했다. 

한편, 광고라는 유혹의 꽃을 피우기 위해 24시간 피 말리는 전쟁을 하며 살아가는 광고판 '선수'들이 매혹적인 광고를 만들어내는 과정을 시크하고 쿨하게 그려낼 '광고천재 이태백'은 '학교 2013' 후속으로 전파를 탄다.

@rubie, question - are these articles already in English or you just translated them?  I just want to clarify what is the correct English name for JHJ's character.  Some reports are using "Addy", while others are using "Eddie".  So confusing.  

Jo Hyun Jae posted these 3 photos on his official FB page just now.  The photos came with this message:

In Korean: 드라마 포스터 촬영현장에서…’애디 강’ 많이 기대 해주세요!

In English: While shooting the poster for the drama “Ad genius”… Please give support for ‘Addy (Eddie) Kang’

'이태백' 진구vs조현재, 2색 카리스마 대결 '불꽃
KBS 새 월화극 '광고천재 이태백'(이하 이태백)에서 진구, 조현재가 각기 '강철멘탈' 이태백과 '완벽주의자' 애디 강으로 분해 상반된 매력으로 여심(女心)사냥에 나선다.

'이태백'은 사람들을 유혹하는 '광고'라는 매력적인 꽃을 피우기 위해 개성 강한 광고쟁이들이 모여 24시간 피 말리는 전쟁을 펼치는 광고 전쟁터의 모습을 생생하게 그려나갈 드라마.


극중 이태백(진구)은 게으르다가도 제대로 꽂히기만 하면 맹렬히 돌진하는 돈키호테형 인간으로 광고에 제대로 꽂혀 멋진 광고인이 되고야 말겠다는 꿈을 지닌 인물이다. 지방대 중퇴라는 스펙의 한계에도 좌절하지 않는 그는 고정관념의 틀을 깨는 사고로 편견과 맞서 싸우며 아트디렉터(AD)로 성장해 나가는 노력형 천재다.

반면 애디 강(조현재)은 학창시절부터 전교 1등을 놓쳐본 적 없는 수재로 굴지의 광고대행사 '금산애드' 대표의 장남이자 광고기획자(AE)다. 세계적인 광고인이 되기 위해 로열 코스를 거쳐 온 그는 빛의 속도로 움직이는 광고판에서 최고의 자리를 유지하기 위해 시간마저 분단위로 쪼개 쓰는 냉철한 전략가다. 

공개된 사진에서 진구는 근성 있는 열혈 청년답게 팔을 걷어붙이고 일에 집중하는 열정 넘치는 모습으로 조현재는 엘리트다운 고급스런 수트 차림에 이지적인 카리스마를 보이고 있다. 옷차림부터 표정 하나까지 각 캐릭터의성격을 고스란히 녹인 듯 보이는 이들의 강렬한 대비가 기대감을 불러일으키고 있다. 

'이태백'의 한 관계자는 "살아온 환경도 사고방식도 완전히 다른 정반대의 삶을 살아온 두 사람은 일과 사랑에 있어서 철저히 대립각을 세우게 된다. 뜨거운 마음을 품은 이태백과 차가운 이성을 지닌 애디 강으로 두 사람이 보여줄 각기 다른 매력은 드라마를 보는 재미 중 하나가 될 것이다"고 전했다.

Seeing as the two guys are the focus, I hope the girls have a more involved role instead of being the obligatory "love interest".

@GaeinaLee, Shin Haido and cocodoll, welcome to the thread!  
I hope they come out with a cool drama poster.  It would be ironic if they release a crappy poster considering that this is a drama about advertising. 
I ship these 2.  I know, based on the synopsis that they are not the OTP, but they look good together, so I will ship them.

One production staff revealed, "The male actors took really good care of their female co-stars by allowing them to film fast.

During breaks in filming, they all could be seen reading through their scripts, showing their passion for the drama."
Photographer Hwang Young Chul expressed, "Filming begun early in the morning, but the cast members have not shown any signs of tiredness, and continued to face filming with a positive and eager attitude. Because of that, filming was able to progress smoothly and ended on an enjoyable note. We have to thank the cast members who showed great energy throughout the shoot, and were able to get many good photos in the end," reserving the highest praise for the main cast members.'Ad Genius Lee Tae Baek' is a drama that focuses on advertising professionals who work tirelessly 24 hours a day to create advertisements that moves the heart of people. The drama will replace the outgoing 'School 2013'.
