@booha, thanks for sharing this. This is a good fan-service & good promotion for the drama, too that the cast from the drama each prepared a song to go head-to-head on this music program. I can say that he has good voice, he can sing very well, he has good vocal tone. Choi Jin Hyuk can easily pass as a singer. I love his voice.

Watch: Choi Jin Hyuk, Park Ju Hyun, And “Zombie Detective” Cast Show Their Vocal Chops On “Immortal Songs”

TV/Film  Sep 5, 2020  by C. Hong

On September 5, KBS’s “Immortal Songs” staged a special “Zombie Detective” episode!

“Zombie Detective” is an upcoming drama on KBS about a zombie in his second year of resurrection who becomes a detective and desperately searches for the truth about his past. Choi Jin Hyuk stars as Kim Moo Young, the titular zombie detective who struggles to adapt to his new life and coexist with humans. Park Ju Hyun co-stars as Gong Seon Ji, a writer for an investigative journalism TV show.

On the “Immortal Songs” episode, seven of the lead actors from the drama each prepared a song to go head-to-head on the music program.

In the pre-show interview, Choi Jin Hyuk shared that he had eaten raw intestines and raw chicken to prepare for his role as a zombie. Kim Shin Young asked if his original dream had been to become a singer, and he replied, “It wasn’t really a dream, but when I was young, I wanted to do music. I came to Seoul for that, and 14 years later, I’m here on ‘Immortal Songs.'” He added that he had won the Daesang at “Survival Star Audition” and said, “At the time, I had nothing but ambition.”

Park Ju Hyun said that she had been part of a band in high school and shared that she had once pressed “like” on an article that said she looked like Shim Eun Ha. “I didn’t mean that I was agreeing with the article,” she said. “It was just because it was a senior whom I respect.”

Lee Joong Ok revealed that director Lee Chang Dong was his uncle, which surprised even Choi Jin Hyuk and Park Ju Hyun. “I didn’t want to hear that I was born with a golden spoon or something, so I don’t talk about it,” Lee Joong Ok said. “Even I have to audition for his films.”

 

First to perform was Im Se Joo, who sang Han Young Ae’s “Is Anyone There?” Im Se Joo shared that she sung OSTs for dramas, such as “Moon Is Setting” for the drama “Moon Embracing the Sun” under the stage name Heora.

Spoiler

 

Second to perform was Ahn Se Ha, who sang Lee Juck’s “Things We Took for Granted” as a message of comfort to those who were having a hard time from COVID-19. Then Tae Hang Ho sang Boohwal’s “Lonely Night” in the original key, while Lee Joong Ok sang No Brain’s “You Have a Crush on Me.”

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

Choi Jin Hyuk showed off his attractive vocal tone in his performance of YB’s “Peppermint Candy.” Ha Do Kwon, who had graduated from the Department of Vocal Music at Seoul National University, sang Im Jae Bum’s “The Flight.” Park Ju Hyun was the last to perform with Jaurim’s “Magic Carpet Ride.”

Spoiler

 

 

 

In the end, Ha Do Kwon was voted the MVP of the episode.

16 K-Drama Posters That Changed Completely In Their Japanese Version

 

Korean dramas are sold to other countries and one of their top clients is none other than Japan. K-Drama posters are then adapted in a Japanese version for the broadcasting channel or for DVD jackets.

 

The Japanese version of the posters has completely different vibes from their original in some cases. On an online community, netizens have been comparing the two versions of the posters.

 

Here are 16 Korean K-Drama posters that completely changed for the Japanese DVD jackets.

 

 

"Devilish Charm"

 

 

Comparing the two versions, the Japanese version removed the original background of the poster to add blue and pink colors and glitters (for a majority above). The posters also emphasize on the romance of the drama, removing or adding characters to highlight the romance. If the actors' faces are not clearly seen on the original posters, they find a way to make it clearer on the Japanese version.

“Zombie Detective” Cast Reveals What To Look Forward To In The Drama

TV/Film  Sep 14, 2020 by S. P

The cast of KBS 2TV’s “Zombie Detective” talked about the key points to look out for in the upcoming drama!

 

“Zombie Detective” is a comedy about a zombie in his second year of resurrection who becomes a detective and desperately searches for truth about his past. Choi Jin Hyuk will be starring as Kim Moo Young, the titular zombie detective who struggles to adapt to his new life and coexist with humans. Park Ju Hyun will take on the role of Gong Seon Ji, a writer of an investigative journalism program with unrivaled optimism, tenacity, and a sense of justice. Kwon Hwa Woon will play the role of the violent crime detective Cha Do Hyun.

 

Choi Jin Hyuk selected his unique role as a zombie as something to look out for, saying, “Although I continuously appear as a zombie, I think you’ll enjoy seeing the clumsy side of my character Kim Moo Young, who ends up not being the scary kind of zombie.” He noted that the lighthearted chemistry between Kim Moo Young and Gong Seon Ji will be another point of interest, foreshadowing the synergy between two characters with their own distinct personalities.

Unlike typical zombie productions in which zombies threaten the peace of the human world, “Zombie Detective” presents a fresh take on the theme. Park Ju Hyun commented, “It’s interesting that a zombie and a human must work together in order to keep order in the world. The story of these special characters is something to look forward to.”

Spoiler

 

 

Kwon Hwa Woon added, “I think of this drama as a new genre, completely separate from your typical zombie film. There are a lot of fun and refreshing scenes, so I think it’s a drama that everyone will enjoy.”

Choi Jin Hyuk, Park Ju Hyun, And “Zombie Detective” Director Talk Zombie Makeup, Ratings Promise, And More

TV/Film Sep 17, 2020  by J. K

Choi Jin Hyuk and Park Ju Hyun of “Zombie Detective” talked about taking on their unique new drama!

On September 17, a press conference was held for the upcoming Monday-Tuesday KBS 2TV drama, including director Shim Jae Hyun and actors Choi Jin Hyuk, Park Ju Hyun, Kwon Hwa Woon, Ahn Se Ha, Lee Joong Ok, Im Se Ju, Tae Hang Ho, and Hwang Bo Ra.

 

Spoiler

 

The new comedy drama is about a zombie in his second year of resurrection who becomes a detective and desperately searches for truth about his past. Choi Jin Hyuk will be starring as Kim Moo Young, the titular zombie detective who struggles to adapt to his new life and coexist with humans. Park Ju Hyun will take on the role of Gong Seon Ji, a writer of an investigative journalism program with unrivaled optimism, tenacity, and a sense of justice.

While talking about the casting for the drama at the press conference, director Shim Jae Hyun said, “All the actors that I’d wanted the most for each role are here with us today.” He added, “On top of them all being actors with a lot of personality, they also work well together.”

 

Choi Jin Hyuk shared, “When I first read the script, I did think about it a lot, and it was a new challenge for me so I also had some fears about the project. But due to the great actors here, the director, and the staff, I’m having fun filming. I think the end product is bound to be great.”

Spoiler

He went on to say, “I made such a shocking acting transformation that I think you might even wonder, ‘Did this kind of zombie exist before?'” He added that he’s been ruining his image to his heart’s content, since he trusts in the director.

“I’m even dancing this time and doing all kinds of things,” Choi Jin Hyuk continued. “It was shown in the teaser a bit but I also wear a headband and shower, and I took a bubble bath for the first time in my life.” He laughed and said, “I think you should look forward to it.”

 

On the topic of the hardest thing about acting in the role, Choi Jin Hyuk said, “As you may have seen in the teaser, getting the zombie makeup on took a really long time. The makeup alone took about two hours, and we’ve brought that down so that now it takes around an hour. Since that special effect makeup is involved, there’s some discomfort when it comes to filming too. Also, I had to wear fall clothing in the summer, with a trench coat and hat, so that was also a bit difficult.”

 

Choi Jin Hyuk went on to say that he and the director had worried a lot at first about how the zombie makeup would look, but they were satisfied with it once they did a filming test. “In our drama, the zombie wants to look like a human, so he puts on BB cream and covers up his zombie wounds,” he said.

 

“I thought that comedy acting was the hardest thing, but I think this is my first time properly taking on the challenge,” he said. “Our drama really combines a lot of different genres, so I think viewers will find it unusual and interesting.” Choi Jin Hyuk also shared that he thought a lot about how to portray details about the zombie character, including thinking about the way he walks and his expressions.

 

 

Spoiler

Park Ju Hyun spoke about taking a lead role after recently gaining more popularity through the drama “Extracurricular.”

 

She went on to say that she felt a burden over having to lead the drama as a star, and she said she aimed to preserve her character’s charms and she worried a lot about having many co-stars to try to keep in step with. “However, they made me feel so comfortable,” she said. “So I’m trusting in the senior actors and director and having fun filming.”

 

Park Ju Hyun also compared herself to her character Gong Seon Ji. She said, “One thing that’s similar about us is that we’re people of action. Gong Seon Ji can’t stand injustice and she’ll see things to the end to the point that she even sacrifices herself, so I think she’s a cool person. It’s made me wonder if I could go so far in a fight for justice, and I’m learning through Gong Seon Ji’s innocence and passion.”

 

When asked what it’s like to be in a zombie drama, Park Ju Hyun said, “I tried the zombie makeup once. I like horror and zombie movies so I really wanted to try it. But after I did, I thought that Choi Jin Hyuk is really amazing and it would be a lot for him to go through. I think he’s making a lot of sacrifices in order to create a more realistic look.”

 

 

Choi Jin Hyuk said, “I wonder if there’s been a Korean drama like this recently. I’m sure that it’s a unique show. Ratings and the public’s opinion will be determined by viewers, but we’re filming it while personally thinking that it feels unique. The actors here are excellent and I think even just watching their performances is fun. The script is really interesting. We’re pulling off the script 200 percent so I think it will be a good drama to enjoy without thinking too much.”

 

Park Ju Hyun said, “There are a lot of people going through a hard time during this difficult period, and I hope that our drama will be healing for them and make them laugh a bit.”

 

After Choi Jin Hyuk said that his viewership ratings goal is 15 percent, the director said, “If we surpass 15 percent, then the whole cast will learn a zombie dance from Choi Jin Hyuk and do a group dance on Haeundae beach.”

 

“Zombie Detective” premieres on September 21 and will be available on Viki.

@booha, thanks for sharing this. CJH said during the presscon that he's having fun filming the drama although there’s some discomfort when it comes to filming because of the special effects of his makeup.. He added that he trusts in the director, though. He also mentioned that he took a bubble bath for the first time in his life in the drama. He's laughing saying this. I think I should look forward to this scene. Hmmm............I'm excited about this drama. Best of luck to CJH!
