Korean dramas are great for making me want to travel to a destination I had never considered before. First there was Canada with The Lonely Shining Goblin, and now there’s Cuba with Boyfriend. A couple teasers and more posters have been released for this upcoming tvN drama, and I can’t wait!
Song Hye-gyo (Descended From the Sun) stars as a privileged woman who has been told what she should do her entire life. She meets Park Bo-gum’s character (Moonlight Drawn by Clouds), a free-spirited wanderer, in Cuba where they begin a romance of a lifetime.
The drama will explore how two people from completely different walks of life can come together and fall in love. The poster above was shot in El Malecon, a beach promenade in Havana, and it’s supposed to be one of the most beautiful sites to see in Cuba. Kyaa~! I can’t get over this scenery, which continues to be awe-inspiring in the two newly-released teasers. In this first, Park Bo-gum pensively stares into the distance as Song Hye-kyo narrates: “Let’s just say we were under a spell. Magic.”
In the next, Park Bo-gum and Song Hye-gyo are shown at their respective Cuban hotels, and Park Bo-gum begins telling the story of their first meeting on that last night of his stay in Cuba. A montage of heart-fluttering moments are shown, from the first hand-wrist grab to the sharing of shoes. Boldly, Song Hye-gyo asks Park Bo-gum, a near-stranger, for money, and he smiles asking how much she needs.
Perhaps due to how much she’s feeling attracted to him or their multiple coincidental meetings, Song Hye-gyo suspiciously asks Park Bo-gum whether he has some type of intention toward her. The copy onscreen changes from the word “fate” to “lover.” He asks back how long she’s staying in the country, and the teaser ends with the same line as Park Bo-gum’s solo teaser.
Well, I’m completely pumped. Wednesday-Thursday tvN drama Boyfriend will begin airing this November 28.
