Park Kyu-young (The Devil Judge) and Kim Min-jae (Do You Like Brahms?) show off their very different charms in the new 30-second teaser for upcoming rom-com drama Dal-li and Gamjatang. Our heroine comes from old money and is the epitome of elegance, while our hero is a nouveau riche hothead who flaunts his wealth crassly.
In the teaser, art curator Dal-li (played by Park Kyu-young) hangs up a painting in her gallery. In her voiceover, she talks about Kim Min-jae’s character, saying, “It’s my first time seeing a person like that.” The text onscreen asks: “To Dal-li, uneducated means…?”
In the next cut, Kim Min-jae drinks in the scent of money as he flips through a stack of 50,000 won bills. He’s clearly money-centric, and pays no regard to his public image; we see him yelling into a crowd (likely loansharks, based on how they’re dressed) for his money.
Dal-li sits in a throne-like chair as she finishes her thought from earlier: “Someone so ignorant who only cares about money.” We then cut to Kim Min-jae shouting that her philosophy is crap. He goes on to ask, “Do you even know how many bowls of pork bone stew (gamjatang) that’s worth?”
Dal-li continues to explain her impressions of him: “His personality is so impatient.” We cut to Kim Min-jae throwing papers and yelling at people. A rage meter appears on screen showing his anger level maxing out.
In the next cut, Kim Min-jae confronts Dal-li: “I thought you didn’t have any friends…but a man?” We then see them together in the middle of a scuffle which concludes with a shot of Kim Min-jae extending a hand to Dal-li. “Until you’ve repaid your debt to me, you better not get hurt,” he tells her. On her throne again, Dal-li gives a shy smile as she completes her thoughts about Kim Min-jae: “For some reason, I didn’t not like him.”
KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama Dal-li and Gamjatang, directed by Lee Jung-seob (Healer, Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho) and written by Sohn Eun-hye (One Fine Day, Witch’s Love) and Park Se-eun, will begin airing on September 22.
