With just a few more days until the premiere of KBS drama What’s Wrong Mr. Poong-sang, character posters have been released featuring its main family.
Yoo Joon-sang (Falsify) plays the eldest sibling, Poong-sang, who’s spent his whole life lovingly taking care of his siblings. Literally, his name means wind and frost, which reflects the thankless job he’s had thus far. Despite his brothers and sisters now being adults, they have yet to understand what he’s done for them. However, as we follow Poong-sang’s stressful life, filled with all sorts of mishaps caused by the four siblings, the crux of the drama will be about the meaning of family.
In Poong-sang’s poster, he is shown dressed in his work coveralls as he shapes his hands into a heart towards his siblings. The caption addresses his brothers and sisters as he says, “You know my heart, right?”
The character posters of his siblings feature each of their responses and visually show how they treat his heart and feelings.
Oh Ji-ho (Should We Kiss First) plays the second eldest sibling, Jin-sang, whose life’s motto is “You only live once.” In his poster, he is shown holding a little heart toy upside down as he carelessly whistles. He responds to his brother by saying, “Hyung-nim’s heart? Give it to me in cash.”
The third and middle child is Jeong-sang, who is played by Jeon Hye-bin (Life on Mars). She holds a shiny heart stiffly in her poster as she cynically says, “Oppa’s heart… If this is it, I’ll pass.”
Lee Shi-young (Risky Romance) plays the fourth sibling, Hwa-sang. She holds a heart-shaped balloon with a perplexed look and, similar to her sister, rejects her eldest brother as well: “Oppa’s heart? What’s that?”
The last and youngest of the siblings, Wae-sang, is played by Lee Chang-yeop (Rich Son). He stands with his back partially turned, showing his black backpack which features a lone heart stamped on it. His response is also dismissive as he says, “Hyung-nim’s heart? I don’t really know.”
I don’t watch a lot of family dramas, but I might be tempted to give this one a watch. The cast does look promising and a warm family drama is always a great way to chase away the winter blues.
What’s Wrong Mr. Poong-sang will be starting this week on January 9, 2019, broadcasting Wednesdays and Thursdays on KBS.
