Bae Yong Joon is back with The Legend

0806-bae-yong-jun.jpg

Bae Yong Joon’s new historical drama The Legend (태왕사신기) is finally ready for our tv screens. The drama behind this drama was uh..well, dramatic – the falling out between Producer Kim and Bae Yong Joon, the numerous delays of the premiere date and even a re-write of the script – that I kinda want to check out this drama just to see if it was worth the hype and its record breaking budget (42 billion won) even if I have absolutely no interest in the personal and professional life of a Korean King from the Goguryeo Period and Bae Yong Joon.

One more thing – is it just me or is Bae so 1990s? All the media attention he gets for his role in Winter Sonata is not only overrated but is getting old. Yeah, yeah, I know that Japanese ajummas are still infatuated with the five year old drama, but Yongsama ajusshi, it’s time to give us youngins something new to talk about!

The Legend will premiere on MBC on September 10th with The Legend Special episode.

    everyone has sincerity and virtues in differing amounts. the many photobooks, photo-essays, magazine appearances emphasize his sculpted body. his flowing hair. his flawless complexion. his soulful gazes. pretty physical things for sincerity and virtues.
    (not saying he doesn’t have them, but it’s not all “spiritual, intellectual” connexion with the great yonsama, know?)
    and don’t make this a teenybopper VS. experienced Real Women Who Know About Life issue. there are others who fall inbetween.

    you guys got nothing better to do than to go around bashing someone you don’t even know and do no harm to you. at least his is better than anyone of you. he makes good use of his time and has done alot for his country. the world would be better off with more positive and loving people. peace.

    BYJ has not done anything wrong to anybody. If it is a sin to be loved by many, then , YOU there , you continue saying nasty things about him.

    Do unto others what you want others to unto you.

  11. 13 rina February 8, 2008 at 9:28 am

    correction: DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU.

    iF YOU DON’T LIKE BYJ AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE US WHO LOVE HIM, WILL YOU PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE?

    OMG….how can you call a guy in mid 30’s too old???? He’s just in his prime, and getting better all the time!! Sexiest man ever to grace this place…not sure why, but just has something special about him. Long hair, short hair, even disguised as Michael Jackson he is still the best!! This man will be hot when he is really old!! Stop putting BYJ down!!!
