Ahhhhhhhhh! Spazz attack! Okay, okay. So I watched the 8 minute Bubblegum Kdrama teaser and my excitement for the drama continues to grow. I was originally going to make a coherent and analytical post dissecting the teaser, but let’s not kid ourselves. I’m in no state of mind to do this. I want to simply enjoy it, leisurely screen cap and make collages from it because it’s fun. Plus, I’m at a disadvantage because I don’t know what they are saying.
I will say, the intro is super cute but the drama definitely looks like a rom com/melo hybrid. I don’t think it will be as clear-cut as “simply a rom com”, but I’m hoping and believing that they can find the balance between the two. They do give it a playful feel, but my impression is they will be digging deep into the characters (which I’m totally cool with and welcome).
The Cast
Hong Yi Seul (played by Park Hee Von)
Kang Suk Joon (played by Lee Jong Hyuk)
Park Sun Young (played by Bae Jong Ok)
Kim Haeng A (played by Jung Ryeo Won)
Park Ri Hwan (played by Lee Dong Wook)
More Screen caps
As you can see from the screen caps, there’s really a mix of quirkiness, sadness and hopefully lots of sweetness.
Here’s the extended teaser if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet (or want to watch it again… and again):
What do you think of the extended teaser? How do you feel about the mix of rom com and melo vibes? Let me know what you think.
Bubblegum Premieres on October 26, 2015 on TvN and will air on Mondays and Tuesdays at 11 pm.
I loved the cute opening a lot but to be honest, I thought the long trailer a bit underwhelming or may be I just expected it would leave me with stronger impression.
But as you said, without subtitles it is hard to judge and I learned not to get affected by teasers/trailers that much and this drama has lots of potential and I hope the execution won’t disappoint us.
Today the journey starts and I will be waiting for your impression ^^

Yea. I know what u mean by teasers. They can be misdirecting anyway. I’ll let you know what I think, but it’s no secret, my views will probably be quite bias. This cast is really stacked in my favor. I think it’ll be very difficult for me not to find the positive s in the drama, but we’ll see.
