Thank goodness I am in Korea! It’s been a while since I have been this excited to see a drama-and all because I was bored out of my mind at Emart today. At the supermarket, I was being brainwashed as the flat screen televisions hanging over the checkout counter kept replaying the teaser for the upcoming drama, East of Eden. My eyes were glued to Song Seung-heon looking all fine and sexy as a gas delivery boy. Dang, the man looked so smoking hot that I wish he could deliver a gas tank to me too.
With an all-star cast including Lee Da-hae, Han Ji-hye, Yeon Jung-hoon, Park Hae-jin, Lee Yeon-hee, Yu Dong-gun, Lee Mi-sook, Jo Min-ki and Dennis Oh, let’s hope the drama is half as good as the trailer. Even if it’s not, I’ll be watching for Mr eye-candy above.
East of Eden will air on MBC, Monday & Wednesdays at 9:55pm, starting August 25th 2008 (We are usually not this specific, but this is just a reminder for us).
Check out the trailer (and yes, this one is real)
Or high definition here.
Also, check out the complicated relationship map. Song Seung-heon has not just 1 but 3 women to contend with (Han Ji-hye, Lee Da-hae and Lee Yeon-hee). Who will he end up with?
Truely Surely – Who cares about Bae Yong Joon? Where the hell does he come up anyways? We’re not offended, by the way. No one gives a crap about your opinion =) Bye bye
Wow. That YouTube video only convinces me further that this is going to be a terrible cliche turd.
What’s the over-under that someone dies of a terminal illness for no reason?
gas delivery boy? they should’ve made his character a jja jjang myun delivery boy instead. now there’s a real sexy job..
i hope he ends up with lee da hae.
but i heard that her character is evil so i doubt it lol.
Oh MY~ lots of eye candy in there.
hehe dennis oh yum.
oh my lord, can’t wait for it either, but sorry to say, trailer doesn’t seem that exciting…
lee da hae is the best korean actress of all time..she really deserves to be the lead actress in this criticaly acclaimed…korean series…cheers to all the fans of lee da hae.world wide..!!! keep it up guys…!!! camsamida…
i like lee da hae…
really an all star cast.. OMG Dennis Oh?.. Im gonna wait 4 it..~ Lee da hae too..
This drama has got so much hype that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a big disappointment!
I do like the actors though! That will probably the only thing keeping it alive if the storyline and plot sucks!
lee da hae is sooo skinny. it’s scary. looks like her arm can break anytime. 0_0
she was skinny for her to fit the role,,i heard she fainted and sent to emergency room because she undergone somewhat like physical fitness just to portray or for her to suit the character!!!
i love her so much!!!!
the character map is wrong maybe (?)…dong wook( the guy under SSH) like han ji hye, it even shows them crying and hugging in the special, why would he like lee da he now?
i love han ji hye !!
NICE CAST! can’t wait. lol ~ errrrrrrrr.
Wait, LDH has changed. her eyes are different.. hmm?
LEE DA HAE + SONG SEUNG HOON + YEON JUNG HOON?!!!!!!! OMG cant wait for this!
love ldh! and yjh!
that chart is killing me
LDH is sooo skinny.
she faint becoz she did physical fitness for her to suit the character????? oh.. she must be suffering now, because her 2 dramas after my girl is considered failure. esp robber, a big failure. i’m not her fan, but let just hope for this new drama.
Errr.. whats that at LDH’s armpit??? O_o
I’m very much worried about Da Hae, she’s so skinny right now!! I love her so much!!
I’m one of the fan-subbers as well as a big fan of KDrama East of Eden. Episode 1~4 of East of Eden have been subbed in English. Hope you enjoy!

EAST OF EDEN LOVE STIRY
Seung-heon -as Dong-cheol
LEE DA HAE- Hye-rin
Yeon Jeong-hoon- Dong-wook
Her character is of a woman who graduated a Law school top of her class. And with her great intelligence and talent, Hye-rin chooses to give up on love for her ambitions.
Hye-rin’s first love is Yeon Jeong-hoon acting as Dong-wook, a king and gentle man. Dong-wook loves his family dearly and became a judge in revenge for his father’s death. He is as ambitious as Hye-rin for becoming so far in his career. Hye-rin falls in love with his innocent eyes and heart.
Another love that Hye-rin encounters is Song Seung-heon acting as Dong-cheol who has lived a rough life. He is a wild spirit who can even give up his life just to achieve vengeance for his father’s unjust death. Hye-rin falls in love with this man who has a passionate yet innocent heart.
Hye-rin is a different character compared to other bright and cheery characters that Lee has taken. Hye-rin is strong and serious. Let’s see how this love triangle is resolved in this drama!
“East of Eden” will be aired this 25th.

hmm, hye rin is greedy, no? but i heard she’s going to be evil later on. is it?
Ya..I Think SSH will be with Lee Yeon Hee Coz I Like Lee Yeon Hee ..LOL
Im enjoying the drama. Im impressed w SSH LDH HJH JYH Park & others. Not LYH as Young ran. Shes awkward, worst she had to speak English & she’s supposed to be studying abroad. Han Ye seul would suit the role as feisty rude audacious & speaks perfect English. She’s got class like LDH & HJH.
I agree with cenidee. Except SSH was sort of a disappointment… he’s doing great but it seems that he’s not doing enough justice to what kimbum has built up for him. I loved young dongchul way more. LDH, HJH, PHJ has been really impressive. Especially LDH, her crying scenes are awesome. And I like the way she expresses anger and her aussie accent.
And yea…. LYH does have weird english. But other than that… she’s fine.
i like Min Hye-rin’s character its kinda mysterious but interesting!
and damn Lee Da-Hae gives justice on her character; i can feel her anger when she was arguing with her uma!hehehehehe!
to the lead actor Song Seung Heon!he is doing okay! as usual
to Park Hye jin i did not expect he will deliver his character very nice! he was good!…..love it!
the worst for me is Lee Yeon-Hee!what was that?!!!
