Synopsis
"Baby and I" is a straight up comedy centered around Jang Geun-suk's character, Joon-soo, becoming a sudden father. In the movie, Joon-soo is a tough 18 year old high school kid that loves to cause trouble. He often gets in fights, once with 17 other guys, but always comes out as the victor. Then one day Joon-soo's parents decides to go out of town. Joon-soo decides then and there to throw a party at his parent's home. He then goes shopping for groceries and comes upon an unexpected surprise. A little toddler sits in a shopping basket wearing the name tag "Han Wooram" and points to Joon-soo as his father!
He then takes the baby home and tries to find the baby's real parents. When he can't find the parents, Joon-soo even tries to abandon the baby but always fails. He then takes the kid to school which causes further scandal and a suspension. But during this time an unexpected event occurs between Joon-soo and Woo-ram…
Para pemain drama berkumpul setelah syuting film berakhir, semua masih mengenakan kostum mereka. Karena jalan cerita memiliki alur yang berbeda, beberapa aktor baru bisa saling bertemu di saat itu.
Jang Geun Suk melihat2 kostum yang dipakainya di drama. Ia kemudian membagikan pizza untuk para aktor di lokasi syuting. Acara spesial ini (melihat Jang Geun Suk memakai streetwear, misalnya) menunjukkan jauhnya perbedaan usia antara kehidupan nyata dan usia di drama mereka - Jang Geun Suk adalah aktor termuda (20), Sung Yuri 27, dan Kang Ji Hwan 31. Dalam kehidupan nyata, Jang Geun Suk jauh lebih menyenangkan dan belum dewasa (dan saya tidak mengartikannya secara negatif - dia hanya perlu waktu untuk menjadi dewasa karena dia baru saja beranjak dari masa remajanya) dibandingkan dengan karakternya sebagai pangeran Chang Hwe di drama.
Hubungan antara para aktor tampak cukup bersahabat. Jang Geun Suk bergurau bahwa Yuri noona selalu datang duduk di dekatnya, tidak peduli di mana ia (Jang Gen Suk) memilih untuk duduk (Yuri menjawab bahwa itu adalah usahanya untuk mencuri energi muda Suk).
Beberapa NG - Kang Ji Hwan tertawa saat adegan Sung Yuri mencari pouch dalam bajunya, dan Jang Geun Suk berakting serius di atas "kuda" (padahal Suk cuma duduk di atas tangga doang qeqe)- repost dari dramabeans.com

that face expression reminds me of hwang tae kyung, huh?
yuri noona tried to steal suk's youthful soul qeqe
riding "horse" scene :p
The cast gathered after filming concluded on the last episode, all still dressed in their standard costumes. Because of the way the stories divided up the cast members, some actors were just meeting for the first time — Jang Geun Seok and the actor playing Merchant Wang, for instance, as well as Merchant Wang and Jo Hee Bong (playing Kwang Whe).
Jang Geun Seok took the camera behind the scenes for a bit, looking through his costumes and delivering pizza to the actors on set. The special (seeing him in streetwear, for instance) only heightened the real-life age differences that are completely different from their drama ages — Jang Geun Seok is the youngest main cast member (20), Sung Yuri is 27, and Kang Ji Hwan is 31 (Korean age 32). In real life, Jang Geun Seok’s much more playful and immature (and I don’t mean that negatively — just that he’s got some growing up to do still, since he’s barely out of adolescence) than his character, while Sung Yuri seems rather self-aware and coy. Kang Ji Hwan speaks extremely well and strikes me as a very savvy sort of guy — he knows how to present himself confidently and comfortably. He conveys sincerity but I feel like we’re definitely not getting the whole picture, which is what I mean by savvy. It’s a mature-actor (or is it serious-actor?) trait, I think.
The rapport between the actors seemed pretty friendly, more for some actors like Gom and Yeon. Jang Geun Seok joked that his “Yuri noona” would always come sit by him, no matter where he chose to sit (she answered that it was to steal his youthful energy).
A few NG scenes — Kang Ji Hwan bursting into laughter when Sung Yuri feels him up, and repeatedly losing a hold on his weapon in a fight scene, and Jang Geun Seok delivering a convincingly serious line on “horseback” — repost from dramabeans.com
Hong Gil Dong termasuk dalam kategori fusion sageuk, drama historis yang tidak seluruhnya berdasarkan sejarah aslinya seperti "Jumong" atau "Jewel in the Palace". Drama Hong Gil Dong berlatar belakang sejarah yang dikombinasikan dengan sentuhan modern. Drama terbaru Jang Geun Suk ini memiliki sentuhan modern dengan latar belakang sejarah masa Chosun (1392-1910), bahasa yang dipakai adalah bahasa masa kini dengan gaya bahasa/istilah2 yang sedang populer sekarang. Drama Hong Gil Dong juga seringkali menamplkan lompatan jaman di banyak adegan (kacamata gelap Gil Dong, penari breakdance)
Hong Gil Dong is what they call a fusion sageuk. It’s a historical drama but not a pure sageuk like Jumong or Jewel in the Palace; rather, it’s been updated with a modern twist. Ergo the “fusion.”
A drama like Legend had some modernish elements to it (the language was simple and easy to understand for the contemporary viewer, unlike the stilted ancient Korean that sageuk characters typically speak), but it’s not really a fusion sageuk. If anything, it’s a fantasy series.
Hong Gil Dong has a completely modern vibe while remaining set in the Chosun era (1392-1910) — the language isn’t merely contemporary, it’s positively slangy. The drama frequently jumps out of its period setting to make anachronistic use of modernisms (Gil Dong sports dark sunglasses, the performers breakdance). repost from dramabeans.com
