[Fashion King] What I got so far about Choi Anna (very roughly)…
Anna (Kwon Yuri) is an attractive young designer. She and Jaehyuk(Lee Jehoon) used to be an item but they were forced to seperate by Jaehyuk’s side. Anna then went to the U.S. to work in the fashion industry where she had to fight her way against discriminations and they finally accepted her there. She got to work under a world-famous designer and tried to use her position as a way to the top but it wasn’t easy.
Anna and Jaehyuk met again in the U.S. and were offered to work together. Even it was paindul for her to work with him, she determined to get him back, so she had accepted the offer. It seemed like a new start for the couple but Jaehyuk resisted. All he cared about now was Gayoung (Shin Sekyung). Out of desperation, Anna turned to Younggul (Yoo Ah-in) and ended up falling for him.
Anna doesn’t sound spoiled or obnoxious as I expected. That’s a plus! But uhm, Anna leaves for the US, does it mean she’s fluent in English or at least is required to speak in English at one point or another? lol!! … Oh my god Yuri! She must be freaking out! haha!
I guess now I need translation Younggul’s storyline, since he supposes to like Gayoung too. I want someone to love Anna too……. I’ll love her.
Based on this story line, Anna might not show up as much at the beginning since she’s away in US, while the other 3 build their relationship in Korea? Can’t tell how they’ll pace the drama… I hope for something quick, love at first sight for instance so Yuri can appear as soon as possible.
I was very happy when I read about synopsis for this new drama from Kitty-nim over at Servabote(http://seeksik.com) so I got her permission to translate and post^^ Not sure how she found out about the synopsis for Fashion King but I’m not gonna ask cause I know that if she wasn’t sure she wouldn’t have written about it……
Fashion King is about Rise and Fall of a man in a fashion industry.
He will start with nothing and will become the “king” but because of too much ambition he’ll lose it all…..
Ain who doesn’t do things in typical way, as we all know won’t be playing the “prince” type of a character,
Ain’s character will be more complex but not so tragic and serious as Gul Oh……
so the other guy(sorry don’t remember his name, Jae Hoon??) will be playing the rich boy/prince and of course
Ain’s rival…..
Se Young’s character is of course the woman in between the two men……
Supposedly she will end up choosing, get this! the other guy!!!!!
Yuri’s character is in love with Jae Hoon’s character but only from a far but when she realizes Jae Hoon’s character
only has eyes for Se Young’s character, she use Ain’s character to get back at Se Young and maybe make Jae Hoon
jealous??? and I hope I’m translating this part correctly but I think Ain and Yuri’s character will get “physical”(kya~~~~~)
So there you have it basic synopsis of Fashion King and the “love line” that will be going on between the 4 main characters..
(I actually didn’t translate Kitty nim’s post words for word, I basically summarized it and used my own words in some parts..)
I’m not sure what type of writer she is meaning, is she gonna change the story line as time goes on to please the
audience or sticks to the main story from beginning to the end……. we will have to watch it to find out!!
And I just knew Ain won’t pick a “prince” to play, which I’m sure he got lot of offers to play but that’s just not his style…
Some Korean fans are little worried that if Yuri can pull this off since this is her first acting role….
Her character seems complicated and she will be acting next to some serious actors…..
Well, she is coming from “idol”/singing back ground but she IS in this so good luck to them all^.^
Yuri’s character has good taste! I don’t know much about neither Yoo Ah-In nor Lee JaeHoon, but based solely on photos, Jaehoon attracts me more. I don’t like rough, gangster feel type of guy.
Slightly confused on the relationship, Yuri can only use Ah-In if he has interest in her. So both Ah-In and Yuri use each other in attempt to jealous the other two leads? How depressing of these two.
How I wish there is a 3rd guy to chase after Yuri. LMAO! Normally I would hate the drama if the guys chase after another girl that’s not my favorite. I can’t complain this time though. I’m just so happy I’ll get to see Yuri, Kwon Yuri acts!
Because of my beloved SNSD , I finally picked up a K-Drama for the very first time since 2008 “On Air” and 2009 “Cinderella Man”! First up is Jessica’s “Wild Romance”! Unfortunately ratings are unfavorable, just around 7%, lowest between KBS, SBS, and MBC Wednesday and Friday rating battle. I wasn’t all that surprise by the ratings, not when I myself had a difficult time finishing episode 1.
Even though I love romantic comedies, I prefer witty scripts over excessive comical expressions. Yet, the first episode was mostly about wacky expressions, trying too hard to be funny. Yoo EunJae (Lee Si Young) and family partied like idiots at karaoke bar and cheered all wild for the Blue Seagulls at home. Then all the “words” smacking effect when Park Moo Yul (Lee Dong Wook) reading negative comments online and his reactions to it are just a few scenes to name.
Maybe because I’m a fan of KPOP, I was particular fond of the fan signing scene from the obsessive fans’ screaming to MooYul angering EunJae indirectly through the Seagulls vs Dreamers conversation with fans. And bammm, an egg landed right on his face, cut short his loud and annoying laughter. I like, I like! I ended episode questioning – Is there even a point to this drama?
I’m glad the answer is a YES, episode 2 was a much better ride! Someone attempted various ways to harm MooYul. Was it an accident or manmade to trap MooYul in the elavator? I believe it was intentional. However, what was the motive? Just to threaten him? I mean, you wouldn’t expect a healthy male athlete like MooYul to die from the lack of oxygen before someone would come to rescue? The herbal drink was definitely planned, but was it the same person who threw the egg? I didn’t think so. The attack personalities seemed different – upfront vs. backstab. Who could it possibly be? Jin DongSoo (Oh ManSuk)? At least current portrayal appeared to direct us toward him; how he could be jealous of MooYul’s soaring popularity, while his career was flopping. I hope it’s someone else though, someone unexpected, yet reasonable…
It was unexpected when DongSoo introduced his wife. He married already? What? At one point I was imagining his relationship with EunJae could grow romantically… Since EunJae saw his wife met up with MooYul secretly couple times, her creative mind probably concluded they had an affair. Did DongSoo think the same? Could it be another source of his jealousy? Probably not, Dongsoo should know his wife had a relationship to MooYul’s x-girlfriend (Jessica), and she only played as a messenger… Ah, I’m looking at the relationship map and getting ahead of myself… lol!
Anticipating and guessing make the drama a whole lot better for me though. I can’t wait to get more hints on the attacker, better be good ones!
Overall, episode 2 was better than 1 for me. The humor was decent as well, started warming up to the leads.
Just got back to Chicago from NYC. This trip was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I got to see Jessica so many times, not so much Yuri.
Airport: On Sat, I came at the airport around 7 PM to wait for Soshi’s arrival. I totally represented YulSic with my headband. Everyone was asking to take photos and such throughout this whole trip. *Embarrassed* SNSD’s securities are such good actors, they made it as if the girls was really going to come out in the front entrance. Like the earlier groups in the morning and the LA one, the girls came out on the side entrance. We didn’t believe the airport securities as first, thought he did it to trick us, until this angel man screamed, “THEY ARE ON THE SIDE!!!” or something like that. Didn’t think twice I ran out… I saw Yuri’s back before she got on the huge SMTOWN bus. *Awww* I didn’t have much luck with her this year. I saw Sooyoung, Taeyeon, SeoHyun, HyoYeon, Sunny, Tiffany, anddddddddd JESSICA!!!! OMG I finally got to see her!!!!!!!!!!! Love love love!
W Hotel #1 – Sat Night: My friend and I took the train back to their hotel, so we got there kind of late… The girls already went in. We stayed long enough to see Jessica walked out with her 2 friends!!! My pretty gorgeous!!!!!!! I thought for a second should I chased after her? Should I? Should I? This maybe my only chance to give her the gift… How bad can it be, I ran off and chased after her…Umm… Her walking back looked very sexy…. Haha I’m 1 delusional fan but no totally sexy star walk. She and her friends stopped at the end of the block to catch the cab. She was already hopping on the cab when I caught up to them. I gave my YulSic gifts & fanletters to them. It’s nothing much, just 2 cute message dolls. The messages I wrote were like: “To Jessica…. something cheese… – From Yuri” and the other way around for Yuri. Haha! I went back to meet my friend and left around 1 AM in the morning.
W Hotel # 2 – Sun Morning: I saw Amber the moment I came. I put my hand up for a high 5 and she hit it. Haha! I’m liking that girl now, really cute and fun. I waited 10-3 – cold and hungry. Finally, they come out ….. Krystal, Amber, Luna, etc…. The whole damn bus for 5 people or so? They’re crazy!?!? I like F(x) but not enough for this kind of desperate wait. One failed morning.
Madison Square Garden: Man the line for the merchandises was longgggggg! I gave up after an hour in the cold and all the walking earlier in the weekend. The concert was great but I really need an SNSD solo concert with just SNSD and Sones. I just didn’t see enough of them, and majority of the time they stood in the front stage. *Sad* The moment Yuri came to my side and I could see her face clearly, OMG she took my breath away. Honestly, that moment made my trip. I just loveeeeeeeeeeee her!
Korean Restaurant – We got a call from our friend that SMTown arrived at K-Town, so we took the cab there. Again, we joined the fans in line. I saw random stars like Ryewook, Henry, Amber, Kangta, etc. I didn’t know how long it took but SNSD came out. But they came out! TaeYeon, Seobaby, YoonA, Sunny, Sooyoung, and my baby Jessicaaaaaaaaaaaaaa once again. (Where the heck was Yuri!!! She hid so well.)
The timing was perfect; we got on the cab right when the SMTown bus started moving in front of us. Yes, we were chasing after the bus back to the hotel. We saw them come off. Haha! Then I realized I lost my phone!!!!! The damn cab took $50 before he returned the phone back to me. He read my text and took my Yulsic’s keychain. WTH was he planning to do with it? Creepy.
Fanmeet – Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend any event on Monday. L I had to return to Chicago for other commitments.
Overall, New York was a great place for tourists, which I had so much fun traveling in Time Square, Chinatown, Korean Town, Rockefeller Centers, etc. I met up with different group of Sone friends. Then the girls came and all I did was walking and waiting. It was impossible to find them considering the many people, shops, and restaurants. Even if I was lucky enough to pick the right shop, it would be 3-4 floors!
Last words to Yuri, can you please not playing hard to get? It’s not good for my heart… I want to see you!
