SBS’s new drama Dream is about to replace the historical drama Ja MyungGo on Mondays and Tuesdays, and on the 15th held its customary pre-showceremony to wish for good luck and a successful broadcast.
With the buzz this drama has (mostly over its lead cast of Kim Bum, JooJin-mo, and Sohn Dam-bi), expect that curiosity to show itself in thepremiere numbers. Whether it can hold onto viewers against MBC’spowerhouse Queen Seon-deok is another story.
Kim Bum explained feeling the weight of expectations, saying, “Of theF4 members, I’m the first to show a transformation. It’s true that Ifeel pressure. I was aided a lot by borrowing the shell of the SoYi-jung character from the popular original series. I don’t think to becontent with one image, but that I should wake up from fantasy and haveto change.”

About the physical requirements of the character (who practices mixedmartial arts), Kim said, “Actually, it’s been said that I’ve beendevoting myself to building up my body, but because of the busyshooting schedule I haven’t had time to work out, so I’m managing whatI eat.”
Eunnie had changed her cyworld background, had just found that out after reading something Margaret posted up.
Here's some sharing:

It’snot the first time the couple had similar cyworlds or had hiddenmessages to one another, and although they had kept their cyworldsdifferently for a while, they just couldn’t keep it up anymore.
Bummie’spictures for High Cut were released a few days ago, and one of theheadlines for his pictures was “I’m a dreamer”. Then today, So Eunchanged her Cyworld background, with the same message.
The 2nd preview for the highly anticipated SBS drama Dream has been unleashed to the public. The main cast comprises of the super gorgeous Son Dambi, talented actor Joo Jin Mo, tall and lanky actress Choi Yeo Jin and the loved by all, hated by none F4 alumni Kim Bum. The second preview is only a few seconds longer than the first one but it reveals the seedier aspects of the storyline.

I knew Son Dambi would be hot in this drama, no surprise there, but I’mglad to see that Kim Bum has taken huge steps away from his F4character with his role in Dream. I respect Kim Bum for not typecasting himself by taking traditional “idol” roles. The cast of Dreamalso held a press conference in Busan on 21st July. Here's a selectionof the best pictures from the press conference for your viewingpleasure.

Dream looks like it has the potential to be a great drama.Truthfully, even if it looked bad I would watch it anyway. It’s one offew Kdramas on my short list of must watch dramas of 2009, thanks to Son Dambi.Seeing Dambi in those little shorts made my Magic Rod cast a superfive-finger shuffle spell on my hand, it has a mind of its own. Twentyepisodes of Dambi in those little shorts is going to give my wrist andforearm the workout of their life. I’m going to have to wear one ofthose damn carpal tunnel braces by the time Dream is over but that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
Dream will premiere in Ja Myung Go’s Mon-Tues timeslot on the 27th.

F4 Kim Beom will be acting in a totally different character for his next piece. Kim Beom will be in a new SBS drama, "Dream - Drama" as the character Lee Jang-seok.
Being an actor involves in changing images and transformations intoa new person for every piece of work. So, this time Kim will be takingon a new role and hopes that the fans from "Boys over Flowers" will not feel betrayed or disappointed in a different image of Kim through this new drama.
Kim will take a more masculine and tough character because hischaracter is a skilled pickpocket as a teen and a kickboxing atheleteas a young man.
This Korean-Japanese drama shows the world of sports businessthrough different characters' ambitions, despairs, love, and maturity.
Kim Bum In 10asia Q: Your recognition started to go up after 'East of Eden' and 'BoysOver Flowers'. Do you feel like there is anything different now?
Honestly,I've been so absorbed in my dramas that I haven't noticed, but I'mthankful for the love and support from our Japanese and other Asianfans for the 'Boys Over Flowers' drama. Our Korean fans are also veryactive, and they are another source of support for me as well. Ilearned a lot of things from working with the senior actors in 'East ofEden', and even now, I would call Kim Jin Man director or the filmingdirector if I have a question about acting. Also, I have grown close tomy F4 hyungs and Goo Hye Sun from 'Boys Over Flowers', and we met up awhile back on my birthday, as luckily my film shoot for the day hadended early. It was a pity that (Kim) Joonie hyung couldn't make itthough, because he had activities in Japan.
Q: You must have received quite a few casting offers after 'Boys Over Flowers'. Why did you decide on 'Dream'?
Actually,between 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Dream', I finished filming for anothermovie 'Flight', which should open in cinemas at around Chuseok(Thanksgiving). 'Dream' is my first appearance after 'Boys OverFlowers' and I was worried whether I could continue to show a goodimage to the audience and whether it might be too fast for a new drama.I decided on 'Dream' after much deliberation, and even though thepreparation period was short, I did my best to concentrate and preparefor this drama. First of all, I was drawn to the never-before-seenstory of a sports athlete, his agent, and their world. I think 'Dream'is not just a drama about martial arts, but more a story of how someonegrows and matures emotionally through the events and the warm people hemeets.
Q: What kind of character is Lee Jang Seok?
Hehas the temperament of a fighter, but in reality he's actually quitetenderhearted and lonely. Growing up in a bad family environment, hispickpocket father made him drop out of middle school, so that he couldteach him pickpocketing skills. Eventually, he ends up in a youthcorrectional facility when he takes the blame for his father. As aresult, Lee Jang Seok has a complex about his father. He's disappointedwith his father, but at the same time he secretly hopes for somefatherly love. To protect himself, he works hard at putting on atough/strong facade, which is kind of similar to the So Yi Jeongcharacter in 'Boys Over Flowers'. Personally from an actor's point ofview, I pity and respect both these characters.
Q: But on the surface, it looks like Lee Jang Seok and So Yi Jeong are 180 degrees different. (Laughs)
Tobe honest, initially I was worried that my fans who liked the So YiJeong character would be shocked by my new role. But now that I'mimmersed in the Lee Jang Seok character, I think only about how I canbest express this person. Actors do not show just one image ofthemselves, but are constantly looking to change and evolve. I hopeviewers can throw away their fantasies about So Yi Jeong, and look atme as Kim Bum the actor. I can't live forever as So Yi Jeong, but stillI hope to have left viewers a good memory of him.
Q: How did F4 react to your new character change in 'Dream'?
Truthfully,I didn't notice it, but when we met on my birthday, they said that Iseem to have become colder since 'Boys Over Flowers'. I guess itssomewhat good that I'm that immersed in my character. Still, to hearthem say that I've become colder... (laughs)
Q: From apickpocket to nightclub waiter to martial arts fighter - this seems tohave been an interesting process of transformation.
JangSeok takes the rap for his pickpocket father and goes to a youthcorrectional facility. When he is released, he tries to look for a job,but his prior record makes it difficult for him to find one. Eventuallyhe finds work as a night club waiter. Later as the result of a fightingincident, he gets involved with sports agent Na Je Il (Joo Jin Mo),which leads to Jang Seok's debut as a martial arts fighter.
Q: What did you do to prepare for your role as a mixed martial arts athlete?
Ihaven't been able to practice much these days because of my filmingactivities. But in the period before production started, I prepared bylearning some basic techniques from actual martial arts fighters. Ithink no matter how much I practise, its going to be very differentwhen it comes to actual filming, so I guess I'll adapt to the situationas required. I haven't actually filmed a fight match scene yet.
Q: What is the atmosphere like on set?
Weare going to film in Ilsan until late at night today, following whichwe'll leave for the airport and fly off early morning tomorrow foranother Dream press conference in Japan. A tight schedule like this canbe very tiring, but Oh Dal Su sunbae's adlibs always makes theatmosphere on set enjoyable. There was a scene where I was supposed tostay still with my eyes closed, but even though I was just listening toOh Dal Su sunbae's adlibs, I couldn't resist laughing and NGed.
Q: You have appeared in a variety of projects since your debut. What do you think was the turning point for you?
Itwas 'East of Eden', where I appeared from the 2nd to the 5th episode.Even though I only appeared in 4 episodes, it took half a year to film.Time went by really quickly, but I lived immersed in the Lee Dong Chulcharacter for 7 months, and there was a big difference from my debut inthe 2nd episode to my last appearance in the 5th episode. This left agreat impression on me. Especially during the final shoot, I was sointo the Lee Dong Chul character that I was worried about how I wouldbe able to choose my next character. Even now, I still have a lot oflove for Lee Dong Chul, and because I was able to act with excellentsenior actors, I learned a lot (about acting).
Q: Even thoughyou didn’t appear a lot in 'East of Eden', it left you with a lastingimpression. You shed the cute image from before and played a tensecharacter. From your rookie days it seems you have worked reallyintensely and hard at whatever you do.
But while I'm working, I really enjoy it. Do I look very tense? (laughs)
Q: Where does your strength come from?
I’mthe type of person who hates losing. Nothing can compare to my family,fans, staff etc, who believe in me and give me support. When I seetheir eyes or presence I will never be careless with anything.
Q:From the time you joined the entertainment industry and started actingwhen you were younger... I'm sure there must have been times when youfelt stressed or lost (about your acting career). Are you one to worrymuch?
I don’t have time to be lost (laughs). I also don’tthink about being uncertain (about my acting career). I admit that Ihave wished I could travel like my friends and enjoy school life, butsince I have chosen the path of an actor, I can only give up my desirefor such freedom. Still, I don't regret it at all.
Q: Then what do you worry about usually?
Iworry about my projects the most. Too boring? (laughs) Especially for'Dream'. I was the last actor to join the cast for training, socompared to the others I had shorter time to train, and I had to worryabout how to maximize training in the shortest amount of time.Therefore lately I’ve been worried about how I can quickly shed theimages of my previous characters and take on that of Lee Jang Seok.
Qast year you were admitted into Chung-Ang University in the Theaterand Movie department. Is it possible to balance your acting life andstudent life?
Having these two lifestyles at once is very tiring, which is why I am taking this semester off.
Q: What dreams do you want to accomplish with 'Dream'?
Anactor’s manager and stylist work in places and situations we cannotsee, just like the relationship between an athlete and his sportsagent. I hope that we will be able to truly show the obstacles and lifeof these characters, and that 'Dream' can be a warm drama that willbring hope and dreams to our viewers. Also, I have yet to receive anyawards, and I do not hope to receive an individual award, but wish thatwe would be able to receive one for the drama 'Dream'.
Q: Until now you have been developing steadily as an actor. Is there any other occupation you would like to try in the future?
Ifthere is a chance, I would like to try my hand at directing. More thanjust putting in practice what I have learned as an actor, I want towork hard and seriously to prepare, whether it's an independent movieor a commercial movie or a theatrical play, I would like to trydirecting. Because my friends are also in the Theater and Moviedepartment, it would be nice to be able to work together with myseniors and juniors.
