While the teasers for Fantastic look lighthearted and fun, the story will no doubt take some heavy turns as the plot centers around a highly successful drama writer with a terminal illness played by Hyun Joo who rekindles a romance with Sang Wook as a well loved but not particularly skilled actor. The K-drama trope of terminal illness is one that I feel is overused and usually avoid but I'm going to give this one a go since two of my favorites are the headliners. Just based on the character descriptions alone, I know they will both kill it. I just wish the secondary cast was less meh. Kim Hyun Joo is always superb in turning out emotionally resonating performances that tug at the heartstrings. Joo Sang Wook despite his chaebol appearance, is comedy gold but he also excels in melodramatic turns. I just hope that the drama will be taking an uplifting approach to the subject matter as the teasers would suggest. Fantastic will be available for online streaming through Viki and Dramafever.

Loving this fall editorial with the thick plaids
I am loving these two editorials. I'm really digging Sang Wook's Cosmo one especially:D And wooot! Another show to watch! The premise sounds good and since you said these two actors are great...heehee...Will you be watching Gong Hyo Jin's new show Jealousy Incarnate? I'm almost done with Let's Fight Ghost and W has a few episodes left, then on to new shows!:D
What distinct and fun editorials. Ooh you are always reporting on good dramas. I still have to watch "Descendants of the sun"!
Interesting post! Great outfits! Have a lovely weekend! :))

They look so good together, love that first shot! Amazing editorials...the fashion aspect is very much to my linking and I love the playfullness of these editorials. Eye candy indeed...I'm sure these two are lovely actors, but I'm also impressed with their modelling skills, they are both so natural in front of camera.
The coat and corset outfit is a stunner.

These editorials are beautiful, and the trailer really makes me want to see the movie :)
Both editorials are awesome Rowena! Their personalities show through their pictures, so I can imagine them on the small screen. LOL about your comment "terminal illness". That is so true, not only with Korean drama but all shows. I be they'll do a great job with this series.

aaaahhh I am not too familiar with these two leads, Rowena, though she seems really familiar to me, might have seen her in some dramas before, I am sure he's huge, but I prefer the Instyle editorial more than the playful Cosmopolitan one, haha *_^
Thanks for your warm regards, I have been quite busy these past two weeks, first with fashion week here and last weekend travelled out of town for some family matters and work, taking a toll on me.. can really feel the exhaustion, when I don't get enough rest. Age must be catching up on me already, haha.
Now I am trying to (desperately) catch up on reading my favourite blogs and get back to some back logged in blogging... oh dear... and some routine. Haven't been able to concentrate on my blogging due to one of my family member went in and out of hospital of late...
Hope you are gearing up for a more relaxing weekend over there. Does it feel like Autumn there already? I wonder.
With love,

Love the fashion focused first shoot and the more playful second editorial! :) It sounds like an interesting show, although perhaps too emotional for me!

She is very beautiful, and he is so hot! The photoshoot of him is so funny, and what I like about her are her eyebrows.
