...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon.

First shoots commenced with this scene of KBS melo-sports-romance drama Man of Honor, which stars Chun Jung-myung and Park Min-young. Funny how the “man” part of the title refers to heroine’s character rather than the hero; the Korean words used in the title happen to be a puntastic take on the leads’ names, Young-kwang (Honor, played by Chun) and Jae-in (Park).
In these stills, Park is dressed as 18-year-old Jae-in, in high school uniform, who grows up poor but plucky who then becomes a nurse’s aide as an adult. Jae-in grew up at an orphanage in her childhood, which pings my birth secret radar; has an orphan in a melo ever not grown up to lots of Sturm und Drang about said orphan status and its attendant abandonment issues? Jae-in seems to have done all right, in that she grows up bright and cheery, and developed close bonds with her nun caretakers.
Man of Honor, which reteams the PD and writer of Baker King Kim Tak-gu, hopes to follow up that mega-smash hit with this drama, which premieres on October 12.
