There is a hot and action drama just launched this March. The interesting point of this drama was the main character, Song Il-guk. He had not seen on the screen for quite a while and all of a sudden various news media released his totally worked out muscular body recently. I thought he was into a martial art or some kind due to his rather thin and strong muscles than big and plump ones like the body builders. After all he is the real descendent of the great general, Kim juwa-jin who spent his entire life to achieve Korea’s independence during the Japanese colonization period. I wouldn’t mind if he became a real martial art master or any kind of action related hero because his blood is well deserved.

A lot of fans were surprise to see his fascinating body shape and felt that something big was coming. That something was this drama, The man was called a god. This is originally a cartoon created by Park Bong-sung who was a well known cartoonist back in 80’s when I was a kid. I really liked his various works especially The son of god, which was also used for a movie. In the cover of the cartoon book, Choi Gang-tah the main character’s bare body shape were shown. It is so clear that Mr. Song Il-guk has been trying so hard to match that masculine body and the image from the cover and I think it is amazing how close he could get.

The first episode reached 15.8% view’s rate which was as twice much as the previous drama, The Jewelry Bibimbab (Bosuk Bibimbab). It has a lot to say about Mr. Song’s popularity and the viewer’s expectation to see some cool actions they promised. Of course there were other factors like other colorful stars like Kim Min-jong, Han Go-eun, Han Chae-young, and Yu In-young. There were several gorgeous ladies on the cartoon and those three top rated ladies are covering the roles. They all wore bikinis from the first episode. What a deliberate attempt to seduce male audiences from the beginning!!!

As we all know, Miss Han Chae-young has a excellent glamorous body line that is not common in Asian women. She took a reporter role in this drama and had to follow Kang Tae-ho (Kim Yong-gun) and ended up wearing her pink bikini and showed off her body. There also is another beauty, Han Go-eun (Vivian role) wearing her black bikini was at the same place with different purpose.

The three ladies expressed their awkwardness to show their swimsuit features at the press conference. Yu In-young felt that the others are more beautiful and taller than her. She skipped her meals and exercised more because she wanted to look prettier. Han Chae-young said that she was very nervous to show her body through screen and was her first time to feel small in filming. She also said she was the plump while others were skinny and good looking. Is there any way to read their true minds for this sort of comments? It should be interesting to see what they really felt one another.

Another interesting actor was Jin-on from the music group, Focus, had a role in this drama. Yu In-young (Jang-mi role) tried to stay away from him after Gang-tah showed up. He forced her to get his kiss and Gang-tah didn’t like him doing to her. He is actually a singer, not an actor, with some experiences of music video scenes and extra roles from dramas.  He did such a great job for a rookie although it was his first time to act with recognizable scenes and a role.  He may prove that he would be successful in his future acting career through this role.

The last person I would like to mention is Jang Woo-hyuk (H.O.T.) with his beloved song, Rain Man, Original Soundtrack.  This is the very first work after completing his military duty.  He had this song before he went to military and had kept it until the right moment.  When the director of this drama asked him to use his song, Rain Man, in his drama, he was
