Are we allowed to start a thread for ORV?  So odd that none of the actor still hasn't "officially: confirmed.

***********

Naomi Campbell, the model.

 

@CarolynH you can start a thread for the drama if : there is at least 1 confirmed cast  announced by the production company and not based on speculations. Below is a sample of what is considered as sufficient to start a new thread:   

Title : [upcoming Drama ] (once it starts broadcasting, you may change it to [Current Drama ] and [Drama ] when it has ended. Episodes : Broadcast Company : MBC/KBS/SBS etc Cast :  Airing Date & time: start date + time slot PD : Production Company : Storyline/Synopsis   

 

Naomi Campbell is not only a model but, an actress as well.

Wow, pretty high jump. Apple TV doesn't have many series or movies.

Interesting JW Marriott commercial.  Just like a short movie.  I like it.

 

Who is Naomi?

 

@CallieP  true, high jump indeed! An ‌Apple TV‌+ subscription only provides access to all ‌Apple TV‌+ shows and movies, which are located inside of the ‌Apple TV‌+ section of the ‌Apple TV‌ app on ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌, Mac, and ‌Apple TV‌. It does not include iTunes movies and content from other providers, which still requires a separate fee. The short answer to why the content is so small is that Apple has chosen to only include its own original content that it produces. Unlike Netflix, which has licensed old content from dozens, if not hundreds, of other networks and studios, everything on Apple TV+ is an “Apple Original.”

*** She's Anushka Sen, an Indian star. She says that one of the K-drama actors pulled her into the Hallyu-land and she’s been hooked since. Lee Min Ho is one aside from Lee Dong Wook whom she likes and followed their shows, slowly turning her into a complete K-drama fan.

Yeah, I always thought PT was underrated.  It had SYJ too.  It was original and different. And LMH was funny as a stick in the mud perfectionist.

@CallieP  in a way, I thought so, too but, this is peak hotness of Lee Min Ho for me. For something light and bubbly it’s OK for me. My favorite part of the drama was the talk around architecture. I loved the house they lived, so much so that I noted some design details. It was one of those must-watch dramas back in the day so I guess a lot of people watched it because everyone else was.

I loved the PT house, too. I thought it might be a real house in Seoul. The exterior is there, but evidently the interior was a set.

@msdot  The hanok used in the drama series (called Sanggojae in the script) is actually Rakgojae, a traditional guest house in Bukchon Hanok Village.      This was the location where they filmed the drama. There was a scene of "The Heirs" where it was filmed in that village, too. Actually, so many dramas were being shot there - in case you have watched these dramas like  Ghost Doctor, Goblin and Flower of Evil. People currently still live in the area; but, tourists greatly outnumber residents. That's why, if you have been there some residents have put up signs that discourage tourists from loitering near their homes.  

[CarolynH]

Happy 7th Anniversary LOTBS!  My favorite LMH drama and first live watch.  I wonder if it's also Heirs anniversary because there were a lot of Heirs posts; not as many LOTBS.

@msdot may I out you and ask how your vacay, which included SK, was?

Personal Taste and Faith for me. Both not the flashiest of productions and not often mentioned in LMH lists but feels different than his other chaebol roles.

Yes, I was just there. Didn’t loiter, though! I also walked in Ahopsan Forest and saw the pillars from The King, visited the tree from Faith, the fountains where they laughed and played in City Hunter, not to mention a few palaces from a variety of shows. Fun trip!

@msdot  ohhh.........yes, this is in Busan. Good, that you've been there, too! Ahopsan Forest is the house of bamboo trees. So NICE to take a stroll, right? I'm sure you've seen the Gwanmiheon. It's the house belonging to the family that manages the forest. Once you reach the entrance past the tall trees you will come across the house. It takes 1 to 2 hours to explore all the trails of the forest. That's why, you need to use walking shoes. You can't see stroller & bicycle there because these are prohibited. Walking through the trees at the Ahopsan Forest relieve stress, this is what I feel. They're closed every Mondays so, I'm sure you were there Tuesdays-Sundays.

@CarolynH yes, it's the 7th Anniversary for "LOTBS", released November 16, 2016 while it's 10th anniversary for "The Heirs", released October 9, 2013. For me, both are popular dramas of Lee Min Ho. I enjoyed watching these dramas.  

[willenette]

*** For me, "The King: Eternal Monarch" is simply timeless and will never go out of style. In other words, I'd love to watch & re-watch it even now! This drama is a memorable roller-coaster ride that I will want to get on time and time again. So many dialogues, which are unforgettable like - "Protect her! She is the future queen of the Kingdom of Corea" and  "Even if the door closes, open all the doors in the universe and return to me, promise me you’ll do that".
