Waiting for East of Eden

20080814_eastofeden

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?

    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!

  11. 11 ... August 18, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    lee da hae is sooo skinny. it’s scary. looks like her arm can break anytime. 0_0

  12. 12 -april19- August 25, 2008 at 6:09 pm

    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!!!!

  13. 13 cool! August 26, 2008 at 4:43 am

    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?

    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?

  26. 26 RINA September 23, 2008 at 1:19 am

    Ya..I Think SSH will be with Lee Yeon Hee Coz I Like Lee Yeon Hee ..LOL

  27. 27 cenidee October 18, 2008 at 3:04 am

    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.

  28. 28 joanna October 18, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    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.

  29. 29 kim_calvz October 19, 2008 at 2:08 am

    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?!!!
