Big fan of the leads!! Specially jeon so min!! Watching the vids posted by tvn already feeling the chemistry!! But difficult to choose between two male leads  i m shipping kang soon with both leads haha

 

Its only once a week oh dang kill me 

[turtle0217]

@triplem Glad to you are here, too.

 

Yes, I am getting started on my Terius recovery, too. I've been too busy to follow up on the forum, but hopefully for this drama, I will be able to catch up on the forum. Looks like it's going to be a funny comedy drama. Just what I need for my recovery.

 

I watched those trailers, bts and conference videos. Cannot wait. But like @riya988 it's going to kill me, too with only airing once a week. How many episodes is this drama that they only airing once a week? It's such torture.

[riya988]

@turtle0217 Well i have read somewhere that's it going to be 11 ep drama...but not too sure!! Indeed such a pain one ep per week!!! Cast is perfect for this show and somin and sang yeob already nailing their roles as country bumpkin!! Totally adorable 

[Guest]

Yes I read that it’s 11episodes too @riya988. SM & SY were so cute speaking satoori. 

But I hv to say my heart is with KJS ‘s Yoo Baek here. He’ll be a reformed jerk . The way he looked at her in those quiet moments , my heart fluttered . 

Happy to see that the drama , KJS ‘s preparation ( he lost 6kg) etc has been trending on Naver 

Now, let’s pray for subs . Don’t see any official subbers yet

I'm sorry, I laughed when you said country bumpkin. Suk Jin called Somin a country bumpkin on running man, when she first came with short hair. Lol. 

 

But 11 episodes is good. I'm guessing it's short that's why they made it once a week only. 

 

@triplem I'm hoping there's subs, too. I am really looking forward to this drama.

[akiera]

Excited for Jeon somin and the satoori. 

 BTW, I noticed some familiar faces here. @triplem  @gladys57 were you there on Ha Seokjin- Jeon Somin soompi thread for 1% of something? I am sorry if I mistook you for somebody else.

Watch: “Top Star U-Back” Cast Explores Vintage Island Sets In Making Video

by Y. Shin

 

“Top Star U-Back” has released a new making video of its cast!

“Top Star U-Back” is about A-list celebrity U-Back (played by Kim Ji Suk) who causes a huge scandal and is exiled to Yeojeuk Island. There, he experiences slow countryside life and begins a romance with Oh Kang Soon (played by Jun So Min). Lee Sang Yeob plays Choi Ma Dol, the top star of Yeojeuk Island who makes a glorious return home on a deep-sea fishing vessel.

In the video, Jun So Min introduces the setting by saying, “Hello, this is Oh Kang Soon’s market at Yeojeuk Island. Kim Ji Suk plays along and asks, “So this is Kang Soon’s market?” to which Jun So Min enthusiastically agrees. The two then reveal that this place is special because this is where Oh Kang Soon and U-Back bicker with one another. Kim Ji Suk points to the second floor and is about to reveal more information about the location, but Jun So Min stops him just in time.

Later, Jun So Min introduces Oh Kang Soon’s hiding place on the second floor. The two express their amazement at all the vintage items in the room, such as cassette tapes from the 70s and figures from old cartoons.

In the next scene, Lee Sang Yeob introduces his “home” as well. He states that this is where Ma Dol’s neighbors hold a welcoming party for Ma Dol after he returns from an overseas trip. He tells the viewers to anticipate Ma Dol and his welcoming party.

Park Bo Gum And Kim Ji Suk Share Sweet Conversation Supporting Each Other’s New Drama

Kim Ji Suk shared a sweet interaction he had with Park Bo Gum!

In the conversation, Park Bo Gum wrote, “I think ‘Top Star U-Back’ is going to be so much fun! I’ll be sure to watch it,” and “It’s cold these days, make sure you don’t get sick.” Kim Ji Suk playfully replied, “Don’t lie [about watching the drama]. I know you’re busy with filming ‘Encounter.’ I watched your epic teaser video, that wave was really something. I’ll be anticipating your drama too!”

Park Bo Gum wrote back, “I’ll be sure to watch your drama, even if I have to catch it through re-runs. Good luck, U-Back.” Kim Ji Suk replied, “Thanks, superstar! Good luck to you too, pure-spirited Kim Jin Hyuk.”

I was a fan of that drama, too. That's was my first drama of Jeon Somin. I was soo crazy for that drama. I even bought the book and comic of it. That's how I knew who Somin was when she joined running man.

Glad that you all are here. I'm sorry, I didn't even recognize you all. Too much drama.
